It would be cool to see Adam and Tested check out the Wintergatan marble machine, and hear their thoughts. That guy really combine machinery and art. Please have a look at it and let us know what you think...
Looks very noice! Let’s hope Lego would lower their prices now that they have other competition in the form of LaserCutting technology good job Tested! +infinity!!!
CA is Cyanoacrylate very common superglue for example "loctite super glue" just dont get the one that says gel on it. Kicker is just accelerant that makes the glue set even faster. If you are looking for kicker check that it is for CA/cyanoacrylate "ZIP kicker".
Adam Savage should go to Comic Con as Adam Savage! Foam, make up, and prosthetic mask of Adam's face ON TOP of Adam's face.. as if someone else was trying to be Adam! BUT its really Adam!
1/6th scale. I hadn't really thought through the implications of this at first, but then it struck me. This bike is *tiny* XD It's a Honda though, so I imagine it has some freakishly high mpg X3
norm or adam do you knoww any good places to buy cheap model kits of robots or anything other then cars planes ex. the hobby has become so expensive and id love to do it still but when i see 200$ for a 4" tall robot im just lost for words being that these thingss are mass pruduced,
I second your sarcasim, i mean its good to seperate the parts (atleast for the builder) But i think we in the maker community should be trying to get away from plastic packaging and use biodegradable materials to pack garage kits and anything else we plan to distribute. And if you get a kit with ziplock bags reuse them, dont throw them away!
I want to get hold of a cheap-ish laser cutter which will handle paper/card (70-200gsm) up to A4 size but I'm having trouble formulating my searches: can anybody with better Google-fu than mine suggest where to start looking? Yes, I tried eBay but either the results are so badly tagged as to be meaningless (an "electric chisel" tagged as a "laser cutter",, seriously?) or the prices are ridiculous: I don't want to spend a 4-digit sum, I'm a hobby-geek not a small business ;-)
Take a look at vinyl cutters. They are a much cheaper alternative to laser cutters that work best on thin material. I think they mentioned them on still untitled recently. Should work for your use case and are dirt cheap.
look up laser engraving and cutting group on FB lots of good info for beginners on there. Also k40 laser engraver is good search but blue white chinese laser is where most start
I don't know how i feel about the price.. Motocompo kit cost 70 dollars, for the money I can buy 2 Aoshima kits, couple spray cans and have some change left. I really like the design, wish could be a bit more wallet friendly..
Understood, but it's someone making this from scratch in his apartment in Los Angeles in limited numbers. Aoshima is a giant company building thousands of kits and distributing worldwide, amortizing production costs via mass production. It's not feasible to be cheaper when it's a one man operation, and considering that, it's a bargain.
The motocompo was inspired by that era of American minibikes. Honda realized something of that size and displacement would be a great consumer vehicle for extremely crowded cities like tokyo, so they basically just built a version with folding handlebars and full suspension. Motocompos are super fun because they have everything to be street legal in the US!
the cowl on the motocompo is what makes it so unique. neat build
Oh wow, I forgot how much I liked the old mailbag openings! Great to see it back - even if it was just for part of the vid. Build was great too BTW
The Honda Motocompo is one of the greatest things to come out of Japan
I bet many MCM fans are going to know what this is.. :D
0ttoman Marty & Moog should get one of these kits
Gel moog got one in yellow lol
Maaaad
Those guys have made such great model kits! I need to pick one up
That was pretty intense.
1975 z50 here. And, a 2010 Insight.
Go Team Honda!
as a Motocompo owner, i love the mini kit.
Want. I’m totally obsessed with these sorts of build kits at the moments.
Have you checked uGears? They make a lot of Laser Cut wooden models for people to build without using glue.
ugearsmodels.us/catalog/
he should send the motocompo kit the mightycarmods guys, they love their motocompo.
This looks like something that would absolutely bring me into this community more
The Motocompo is the coolest scooter Honda ever made, waaaay cooler than the Ruckus or Metro!
Very Cool model kit. I use to make tons of model cars when i was a kid. I really enjoyed this episode, rock on TESTED
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!!
The patience that takes
Im old enough to remember this bike, did the model fold up into the cowl like the real one?
You guys have to do a video on one of those tiny scale super thin sheet metal models that are tab and slot construction.
That’s just really nice, you can’t not love this thing.

good job Tested! +infinity!!!
That kit looks amazing, didnt he say that the model folds up? Id love to see that!
scott harwood i beleive the actual bike folds up, not the kit
I checked the website and it does fold. it looks super snazzy when it does as well
scott harwood fould it!
What are the two glues types brands you have what type of CA and what Kicker? Links?

that's soo cool :D and it's not expensive
Cute!
Digging it
I thought this was going to be at least 200$ but for 70 I'm definitely getting this
Damn MCM blasted the motocompo and now everyone knows about them. I'll never find a cheap one lol
I love your vids
1/6th scale. I hadn't really thought through the implications of this at first, but then it struck me. This bike is *tiny* XD
It's a Honda though, so I imagine it has some freakishly high mpg X3
how the hell are you supposed to ride that it's way too small
norm or adam do you knoww any good places to buy cheap model kits of robots or anything other then cars planes ex. the hobby has become so expensive and id love to do it still but when i see 200$ for a 4" tall robot im just lost for words being that these thingss are mass pruduced,
vamdolly Amazon, Gundam kits for days. The RG line is amazing BTW
Looks like I think sujimoto's moped on you're under arrest. sorry for my anime junk lol
On the thumbnail I thought it was made of legos
.i saw the thumbnail and was liek double take!MOTOCOMPO!
The Honda City was a small sub-compact that was not sold here in the US. Thus your unfamiliarity with that particular vehicle, Norm..
To see Honda City & Motocompo together, watch the anime "You're Under Arrest!"
Kirk is insanely good at figure drawing too his ig is @therobuts
Yes! Both he and @heavypoly are incredible artists!
MCM? :D Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
I want one, i like putting things together...except my life.
Yes! Bag every separate piece! There's still space in the ocean for more single use plastic!

with todays tec surely there is a way to build a micro engine to fit a model like this. now that id love to see
Is... is this music Modern English's I Melt With You?
That's cool but maybe next time get a desk that doesn't shake like a baby cradle.
NIce piratebay tee
i'm making kerberos panzer cop armor
These (the real thing) are getting too expensive with all this revealing to public :/ I guess I'll have to try to build one.
Why doesn't will make his own videos anymore?
Will left Tested almost 3 years ago. www.tested.com/tech/540990-its-time-something-new/
i think you need a sturdy-er table
Cool video though found the music a little bit annoying

Motorynka Poland motobike
motocompo japanese miniscooter
No, but I can see how you could compare it to a Motorynka Mamut. ...Mamut, very interesting bike!
we had /built those in the 60s -70s only full scale and we rode them ....we called the mini bikes
The motocompo was inspired by that era of American minibikes. Honda realized something of that size and displacement would be a great consumer vehicle for extremely crowded cities like tokyo, so they basically just built a version with folding handlebars and full suspension.
