Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Painting The HasLab Razor Crest!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Adam and Norm examine the HasLab Razor Crest playset and spend the day experimenting with different types of paint finishing to add extra layers of detail to this beautiful model. From adding brown rust to a random selection of panels to specular highlighting, we turn The Mandalorian's ship into a canvas for freeform weathering using our favorite paints. Here's how even a little bit of work can transform plastic into battle-worn steel or carbonite. This is just the beginning of our fun with this model!

Honestly I think people would pay a premium if they had an Adam Savage custom painted and weathered model...Hint hint HasLab!
So we're actually watching paint dry?! 😒 How droll Adam, thank you............
Did no one notice that Adam called it boba fetts ship when editing? Did no one point that put before postning the video?
hey Adam im a fan of the show if your looking to buy a kit i have an extra one fresh in the box not opened if you want to buy one with al the action figures and all the great add ons . but great weathering
Spazz Stix? Really? Not cool.
It may seen like a simple thing, but Adam sticking tape on the back of a piece as a handle, is the little tips and ideas I love learning from this channel.
that's such a great idea that i'm pissed at myself for not having thought of it sooner. it's such a 'duh, of course' type of thing. also, one of the many reasons i watch his channel.
@@leowatley if you haven’t thought it you haven’t done enough
The more I watch this type of video the more a realize the art is less able to be put in instruction manual and more the many small tips that are gained by a lifetime working with your art. Thanks for letting us watch.
And let's us watch he does 0:12
"Not just boba fetts ship"
I'll let it slide cause Adam's a legend 😅
I don't know if we should let it slide... he worked and breathed Star Wars. For him to make a slip like that is just bad.
He also referred to the "Han in carbonite" and "that's a Greedo."
@Joshua Blodgal I don't think he ever lived and breathed Star Wars. He's a fan of the STUFF in Star Wars, but seems mostly a casual fan of the films themselves. Just because he worked on it doesn't mean he's a super-fan. Adam is more an ILM fan than a fan of the films themselves.
That is not "Slave One"
@@Bad_Wolf_Media A guy like him must have a million things going through his head so that's why I'm not blaming him 😅
The real MVP is Norm biting his tongue.
At 3:55 Norm had to fight every nerd strand in his body not to correct Adam lol
I was afraid I wasn't gonna get it
In fact, that was incredibly obvious 😂
5:58 was also funny Warcraft instead of Warhammer models
Not gonna catch Norm correcting him on that, the "Man" has no spine. Cant mantain eye contact with anyone because he knows himself to be such a beta male
Jesus what an art!! Amazing how he talks about the thinking behind how he approaches his design….
This is therapy for me. So satisfying watching the process.
This scratches my hobby painting / Warhammer itch 😍
The rub n buff part on the internals was so satisfying to watch, really loved how that brought out the detail.
This is what made me love Star Wars. The ships. Seeing a pro weather one makes me happy.
Adam's enthusiasm for what is essentially a toy is infectuous! Add to this the opportunity to SEE someone weather a Star Wars vessel who has done so previously as a profession is like looking behind the Wizard's curtain!
I love norms expression when adam referred to it as boba fetts ship
Its so interesting to see the differences in model design from Star Wars to Star Trek. Greebles and Aztecing and what not. And seeing two guys breakdown a toy with the level of an ILM prop is amazing
good vid guys ! look forward to more of it ! norm really trusts adam to just let him run wild !
Even as a kid back in the Kenner toy days, I was never satisfied with the look out of the box. I would embellish mine! Crazy, brings back great memories!
Great. I had hoped Adam may have got one too, so you could both do your individual takes/modifications to the ship.
Omg YES!! I’ve been wanting to do the same thing with my Haslab X-Men Sentinel!
Somehow I knew you'd be watching this video!
I'd love to see you do a video on a repaint too!
do it.
Such an amazing imagination!!
I love this… 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Can we get a petition? Just give Adam the camera and upload it uncut. We'll watch 12hrs of him no problem, because my God, the world needs it. Especially with the minutia and detail we love seeing Adam get into.
That moment... when you are a custom 1:18 Star Wars ship builder and the Master walks in and says, "Hold my beer."
What an awesome video! This is the reason I love this channel and Tested! Thank you, Adam and Norm!
When Norm first unboxed this model, I was so disappointed in the dull gray panels in the engines; just a couple minutes work by an expert and they look amazing. Can't wait to see the lights installed!
I feel like I'm watching some kind of mega mashup of Bob Ross and Star Wars and I'm loving it!
I love the design of this ship. It's one of my favorite ships from any franchise. I hate to say it, but it's neck and neck with the falcon at this point. And, that has to be one of the best sculpts for a toy I've ever seen. That's the ship I want to fly around in. Park it and camp out somewhere for a while. It's like they looked at the ship from Space Balls and said, _Ya know what? They were kind of on to something there with the flying space Winnebago. Let's show 'em what that would actually look like, but, let's make it an AirStream._
Desperately underrated comment here, I salute your knowledge and witty wisdom
I know there have been mass produced versions and even some handmade Falcons, but I would love to see what Haslab would do, similar to Jabba’s barge!
We need another video update with the lights install! Hopefully more painting of the interior? Loved watching this-
Another fun thing to do when you have old-looking decals on something that's paneled like this one, is to paint over the decal on one of the panels with a shinier "newer" looking colour. That makes it look as though that panel has been replaced recently but nobody went to the effort of repainting the design that used to be there.
Another great paint job gentleman. Bravo !
Hi Adam big fan, a bunch of model scratch diorama builders are doing their own pod racers from Episode one can only imagine how cool it would be for you to participate, for you an awesome challenge and content for your channel and for the builders your prestige and following will bring attention to these mega talented builders.
I hope you get one and make a series from start to finish working on it.
I am so very glad that Norm got Adam to do this for him as we all know he'd have given it a go but not made as good a job as Adam has. Very handy having an ex prop master on hand for such things, it's a great start Norm, don't wreck it :-)
Peeling off must be like opening small gifts at Christmas - it just so full filling to see the results. :D
More of these video please!!! Great job guys!!
The shot with Adam using the rub and buff on the engine interior is just spectacular. To see a well painted toy turn into a really well painted toy, in seconds, and that’s before the wash and rust. And the confidence he has to just do it all at the same time. I would take a day to just do that one part.
Still waiting for Adam to design his own lightsaber hilt and build it.
Agreed. He did Luke's but still not the same as doing his own.
@@reynolds_live6949 yea and at the end of that he said he’d be doing his own at some point but that was a long time ago.
@@Ultra_Fx In a galaxy far far away....
I think his own lightsaber is coming up right... here 0:12
These One Day Builds with Norm and Adam sometimes feel like Father and Son Science Project.
Or Jedi and Padawan as it were.
We use Spaztix on a ton of our Beskar as well! We love it!
Looks Amazing! Thanks for sharing
This is eye-opening stuff. Excuse my naivety, but I looked at this “toy” and wondered what they could possibly do to it to make it more awesome. 40 minutes later, I’m rushing, to my computer, to order my own, as well as supplies, to customize my own.
Cheers Adam & Norm! 👍👍
It’s worth every penny and will only go up in value. I can’t stop admiring mine :-)
Hope your wallet is nice and fat to order one, because they aren't mass produced, and they're now $600-$1000 or more on eBay.
@@Bad_Wolf_Media 1,500 CA ON eBay
IDK, it appears that they "re-released" the Ghostbusters Neutrona wand for $125 after it sold out. It was trending at about $250 for a while and maybe more on eBay. Is it possible that they will do the same for this?
@@ljg6979 the Neutrona wand wasn’t a Haslab crowdfunded item, afaik. I don’t see why they would rerelease an item that was exclusive to people who backed the project when it was nothing more than an unpainted CG model in 2020.
Everyone Always does Black Washes, which are great and all but If you are trying to make things grimy I find that a real dark brown with some green in it looks better. AK Interactive streaking grime is a good example of the color im talking about. Starship Filth is another good product. more of a grimy grey. Love what you guys did with the Razor Crest
Thanks for this video. I'm in the process of doing the same techniques on mine. Please do the lighting video soon as I could really use some help there and wouldn't mind doing that before I do the final painting.
love it. it looks like its gone in and out of atmosphere countless times. broke went to bobs discount ship repair duct taped and bailing wired and is still chuggin. just a real lived in ship.
Tip if you put a thin coat of clear gesso over the top of your masking tape before you paint you can get a cleaner mask edge
That looks freaking awesome I would love for Adam to be on our new television show the model builders builders on misfit TV
3:57. Adam: "This hasn't JUST been designed to be Boba Fett's ship..." Norm: "Bruh..."
I really want to see more of this please!!!!!
I could see Norm unboxing this and thinking, Its awesome but needs some more detailed painting... Hmmm, I know a guy...
Adam, I might have missed it, but did you talk about going down the rabbit hole on a project like this?
At what point do you have to step back and say, thats enough? I have always had a major problem with that.
Another thing a lot of people forget about toys/models like this. We only get to know one version of this ship. It is not a one of a kind "in universe" The shipyard would have built many of this class of ship and all of them will have weathered differently. Imagine this ship having been owned by Sabine during Star Wars Rebels, and how she would have painted it.
During the prequels I always wanted to see more of the ships we knew. Seeing the falcon when she was shiny and new was neat, but seeing a squadron of them flying into a battle to help out would have been awesome. (Yes, I know its a freighter, not a fighter)
I don't own any kit of the Razor Crest unfortunately, but I am scratch-building it using the engines from a Anakins Podracer kit and the rear part of a C130 fuselage. The C130 is a 1:72 scale and the Pod probably around 1:35. But it works size wise.
Can we just anoint Adam as King of the Geeks right now, he could probably do a one day build of his own crown
I second this, wholeheartedly!
He already did. A reproduction of St Edwards Crown from _The Crown_ tv show.
Lighting and maybe sounds/engine startup too?
Seriously though; Who looks at the name "Spaz Stix" and goes "yeah that's alright and sounds absolutely nothing like a horribly offensive word"?
Great overhaul of an already great piece. Well done!
It actually upsets me that they named it this. I would never use their product as a result.
I'm glad you guys did this. I'm going to have to do some of this stuff to my Razor Crest.
I wish he would just do something like a masterclass and I would gladly pay.
I'm sorry I missed the boat on these, paying $1,000 for one now is too rich for my blood. Fun to watch them work, though!
rusting = making parts seem older (deteriorated)
specular highlighting = making parts look newer (with fresh clear coat)
washing = making parts look greasy due to use
rub n buffing = making parts look used as if paint is chipping away
randomizing = making it look natural
...:D
Love this series! Been waiting for part 3 for a while. Is it hidden somewhere?
YES!!!
It's happening!!!
After watching the whole video, watch the first 5 minutes then jump to the end. Humongous difference and still more to come 😲
🤣 old mates face when Adam called it Boba Fetts ship
Adam, have you ever used Tamiya's pastels?, these are F...g amazing on NMFs, the blues and warm colors are to die for.
Hi Adam, always love your enthusiasm with these builds. Do you think you will invest in building the Lego Titanic or even create your own Lego moc? Stay safe.
Now that, I’d love to see!
Adam, you should have bought two of them so you can display them side by side.
I have a bunch of the original star wars spaceship toys in my attic. Theyre from the 70s and 80s
Not sure if this has already been mentioned but Spaz Stix is not meant to be applied as a primary. Like AllClad metalizers it fleas better when applied in very light coats over a high gloss black base. Usually to about 80% opacity. It’s how many of us do our Mando helmets and beskar armor. Also. Need ti spray at very low pressure. Around 8-10 psi.
One of my favorite tricks I picked up for doing WW2 aircraft, is putting on some dark streaks on the engine cowling, like there was an engine fire at some point.
Yes, I have an F4 and this Haslab Razor Crest. There's a tone of videos on just getting the scorched engine cowling tan, brown, purple, look. Ect.
@@ARFF1Tampa I'm very new to this stuff, but I've found that mixing like... store bought "metallic" acrylic paints like pewter or "silver" or whatever with a rust or red color acrylic can make a nice "shiny" dark red, and blending that in with some metallic blues and golds can make that burned metal effect. I'd love to see your Phantom project, best wishes
I like to see your take on haslab hisstank
Still want to see Adam do a gundam, start to finish....what ever that looks like for him
It is a few years old now, but you should check out the Star Wars Black Series Snowspeeder. These fit 6 inch figures and is also released by hasbro. It is pretty true to scale too!
Boba fetts ship? lol
🤣
man this video is too short! I could watch hours of you guys geeking over the options haha
Thought process upon seeing the thumbnail:
"Is that a Firefly? No, that's too boxy to... RAZOR CREST!!"
Say Adam, don't you have an entire set of very nice, rather expensive _Star Wars_ paints on a custom paint stand somewhere around the cave? Just asking. 11:00 -- And there we go!
Army Painter dip wash? Aka 'liquid talent'. Love that stuff! Rarely have I found a material that so flatters your work.
This is one of my favorite uploads so far, it was so fun to watch these two geek out and get creative.
@37:54 ... "... the hands of the Greedo..."
Argh... should I ?...
Yes.
Rodian ! it's a Rodian, not a "Greedo" ! 😛😁☺
Drybrushing should be decreasing pressure with every wash that is mixed more in the highlight color. First pass: heavy pressure 40% highlight color. Second pass: medium pressure: 60% highlight color, Third pass: light pressure: 80% highlight color. Even Adam isn’t doing it right all the time. It isn’t just 1 pass
Really surprised you didn't put some bluing on those engines..
I just want the engines to build a Pod-Racer from it ^^
Adam in the future you might want to try taping off areas with a soft edged tape. You can buy them or you can roll the edge of regular masking tape to achieve the same result. That model from hasbro is truly incredible for a mass market item. We are truly living in the golden age for prop replicas and scaled models thanks to all the independent makers and now hasbro. Calling items like that ship merely toys would be a massive misunderstanding of what they have achieved here.
You can easily just use a straight edge (old credit card, ect.) and airbrush most of the panels by hand without even taping most of them off.
Imagine not only owning this Razor Crest 'toy', but then having Adam Savage doing a weathering job on it.......
Norm, you're a lucky guy.
Using a high gloss black as a base really brings out the Spaz Stix chrome.
Awesome weathering. Spas stix chrome looks a lot more chrome over gloss black. Then buff it when dry.
Exactly. I don't know if he was going for a super mirror chrome look, but you can get that using the Spaz Stix backer paint as well (it's a really high gloss black). Once you spray the chrome over that, it just accents the already mirror gloss in the black with great results (for those that don't know).
Little slip there calling it Boba Fett’s ship
Please do an in depth de assembly and light tutorial please
i think you should have put some brown in the spaz paint cause carbonite is not chrome. i liked the unpainted one the best
Norm, you couldn’t have picked a better partner in crime to throw down some custom love on your Haslab RazorCrest... So many RazorCrest owners wouldn’t dare customize their brand new Haslab project... BUT of course, they don’t have Adam Savage as a buddy neither....Great video. Love watching the two of you brainstorm and immediately go to town on that beautiful piece of plastic goodness.Thanks for that & ☮️
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of SW nerds voices suddenly cried out " It's not Boba Fett's ship!"
Yup.
Would you be worried about the rub n buff coming off with handling? Like on the carbonite for example? Would you protect it with anything?
Great work!!! love watching your tutorials . Have you considered adding dings and dents with scorch marks on them? I used to add them to fronts of tanks and war machines as anything used has the straight angles nicked and battered,. I used techniques such as mini drills to make billet holes as well as hot tools to melt and distort surfaces. Thanks again for the videos
I’m into painting minis so this really works for me
That’s tonight’s viewing sorted!
Adam. You and Jamie were absolutely great to your fans. I remember when Jamie gave my son and I a tour of M5 Industries during a 2 week break in filming because Discovery Channel's insurance couldn't allow it and we'll never forget it. Jamie even took us upstairs. My son still has your green postcard signed in silver ink. I was quite proud of locating M7 before they put the gate in. The big yellow sea crate for all your explosive testing. RIP Grant.
I've been uploading videos to my channel of the tear down and MODs. Feel free to take a look. More to come! Thanks Adam and Norm!
awesome work I'm planning to build the Revell Razor Crest with such little effort you can make it million x better guys I appreciate it thank you sharing
I am building the kit in my upcoming holiday, so having this video for inspo is great
13:36 ... when Adam seems Norms left gobs of black paint
what a fantastic model! ... I was going to say if they didn't include the shift knob for Grogu ... glad they did ... I see , that's one thing that begs to be replaced with something more eye catching
Well, there's my next project. I have one, still in the box, ready for upgrades and improvements. I think its safe to say similar techniques can probably be applied to the other SW vehicles.
I hope you do a video on adding light because that would be awesome.
damn that's nice
I just want to thank you for Mythbusters man it gave me the push to try things myself fix things build things ex the skills I have today is because that show and tested love it man fan for life
It's kind of amazing how intentional the colors inside the engine look after after a seemingly random application of different finishes.
I wouldn't have dared to touch such an expensive toy myself, but it was interesting to see what all those techniques can do to a model.
Well, if you were going to keep it and display it, you can easily make it much better. The legs aren't even fully painted. And, the bigger the model, the easier it is to do. Like when building car models, I like to think of it like "I'm building a complete model of an engine". Not "I'm just building the engine part of a model".
I immediately knew you were going to get one of these and paint it up when I first saw it
How realistic is it that a space ship would be made with a material that could rust? One of my minor annoyances with some scifi. Have fun guys It does look great. =)
Look at shuttle boosters. Sometimes the cost isn't worth it to paint or go in and finish. Working with stock metal, the shit rusts instantly before you even get it delivered. Then going in and trying to sand. You might clean it up and coat it, but it's not unrealistic.
