Those mystery parts at 22:30 look suspiciously like they are from the underside of an armchair or sofa - I think I'm right in saying castors would slot through the D-shaped hole. Though having said that, I have been known to be wrong.....from time to time...

*_Thing is, Han isn't silver in his Carbonite prison, he's more like the actual color carbonite: HEX 636555 RGB: 99,101,85 (I might be wrong on those codes, hehe)._* *_You should have painted Han that color, then dry-brushed him up with silver/chrome._* *_There's missing brown and bronze undertones to your Han._*

Adam, where's your dust mask????MDF is nasty stuff!

So, like a "directors cut" sort of vibe... great idea!

Yeah this needs to be more of a thing!!

picture in picture. i like it too

I liked this but found I had to watch twice because I was trying to figure out what he was doing bc he hadn't finished explaining before it was being shown

I watched the whole thing and never saw that. Where in the video was it?

That’s what we used to call movie magic, now they call it CGI.

@@zombiehunter1152 people put love and effort into cgi as well

@@MaMastoast honestly cgi is lazy, you see a lot of movies are green screens now. The model makers were the best.

@@zombiehunter1152 that's not really fair, you're painting with a broad brush. Yes there are some aspects of cgi that are made easier than physical model making, but I would argue that cgi work at the same level as good traditional model making are a similar skill level, even if they're different, and you can cut corners in real model making (pre make assets, for instance) just like you can with cgi. Not all model making is great, and not all cgi modeling is lazy. I think maybe you don't know what you're talking about if you have that opinion. Cgi is not as simple as throwing up a green screen. There are countless hours spent building (in the computer or physically) what will be composited into the shot. It definitely can be done in a lazy way, but good cgi is just as difficult as good practical effects.

@@isaacholzwarth u can’t beat old hands on tho but cgi is abit lazy tho really. Yes they use models over and over, in different movies too but that was the actual Beauty of having a real life model.

I feel like the 10mm socket is the boss then. Always gone.

So true…I’ve had to replace tools I know I still have….somewhere!

I've bought a kit from you in the past. It's great. I'll need to buy a 2nd one for the alternate hero panel seen in ESB.

The kit I got from you is still turning heads.. mutch appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

Instant bookmark for a future build - well done.

Thank you - we appreciate your saying that, as well as the fact that you took the time to say it!

Thanks I missed that.

Oh, damn! I wondered why Josh put that bit there. Thanks!!!!

Hi, I guess illusive concepts is a pretty big company to make deals with Lucasfilm and take castings of the original props... that's pretty cool. There was a company selling white armor a few decades ago that was also cast from an original outfit made by Lucasfilm, I wonder if that was by illusive concepts too, and what other props you had the opportunity to work with?

@@burtpanzer We had the last functioning E.T. to cast off of. It still had all the little controls attached to it to make its eyes open and do other stuff. We did a small Rancor beast. A ful sized Yoda. All sorts of Lucas stuff. We did a a Darth Vader "unmasked" for Penny's I think. We did wall reliefs for Kiss. It was nuts and fun. I traveled a ton. I fixed problems is what I did. Many crazy trips and stories....Many. We didn't make any armor. That was probably Don Post studios. We also did Halloween masks. We had the rights to... Kiss, South Park, The New lost in Space stuff.The only people allowed to make any likeness of Boris Karloff was us. Sarah Karloff was a extremely nice woman. We did our catalog cover shoot with Elvira. I was a bartending alien. She was very,very nice. We had licensing for gobs of stuff. We had contracts with Spencer's gifts and lots of Halloween stores and comic book stores. We did a resin head of T2 and I put a red light in his eye socket. It was very cool. Arnold made fun of it. At first....jerk.

@@rodgerrodger1839 Oh, how cool. There's definitely an air of mystique surrounding even the most indirect contact with certain films like Star Wars. I lived in Marin County and would run into Lucas everywhere I went. Without knowing it, I ended up renting the place across the street from him and everyone's house I worked on seemed to work at ILM. People who knew I was into it started giving me death star tiles and parts of full-scale walkers. I couldn't go to the city dump without being surrounded by discarded 70mm film reels from JEDI or spacecraft parts from an Ewok set. We even gave George a bit of a chase while driving back to his ranch, well he was driving a gold Dino Ferrari and left our station wagon in the dust... I know it doesn't compare to handling ET but there was a ton of cool things that made it pretty special.

@@burtpanzer That is fascinating! Makes one think about the whole 'archaeological' aspect of Star Wars. This also adds a wonderful layer to how to see the world, How so many daily objects might be linked to our favourite films, directly or indirectly. Just recently little portable lights used on Andor were pointed out available at Home Depo, and to my amazement Bunnings (a hardware franchise in Australia) had the exact same ones! A direct linkage to wonderful Andor, a useable prop! only 20 minutes from my home!! And only a few dollars. Incredible, compared to the usual cost of replicating or finding authentic parts from Star Wars. Anyway, thanks for your insight.

That was probably Frank Ippolito on this channel.

Our video with Frank Ippolito? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbmTZMWXubPSZH0.html

Thanks for the link! I became a fan of Frank and his work on _Face Off_ (especially his "redemption" season), and it's been neat to see him occasionally on _Tested._

Yeah 😅 just for safety 😂

Here here, I was desperate for him to turn the lights off!

@@ashmaybe9634 yeah ;)

What?

@@DogSerious I had no idea Adam was hard of hearing, being so myself (as I'm getting up in the years) Adam is one of my inspirations and this realization makes me appreciate his work even more!

@@hankthepatriot3733 Eh?

@@DogSerious huh?

Currently doing so lol

He could make bank doing shop tours or something, no doubt.

This would have been the underside of the dial which is facing up in your build

sounds very cool!😀

@@mea164 So was Han 😉

And its only ever going to get bigger lol
