Adam Savage's First Gundam Build—RX-78-2 Perfect Grade Unleashed!

Everyone's got a nice manicure for the close-ups and then there's Adam who looks like he did some gardening right before the shoot

As im typing this im currently building hg aerial rebuild im inlove with building calibarn is next

Nice

Moving parts straight out of the sprue are a wonder. I dont wanna know how, its just magic.

I still await another build :). Should probably be something like the MGEX strike freedom or a transforming one like the Zeta would blow his mind. Barbatos is a possible as well though it is a challenging one.

I weep for I will not live long enough for our technology to advance to the stage where we see one brought to life Toy Soldiers style.

Would love to see what this kit looks like in a battle damaged pose with half its armor blown off from a massive energy blast they barely avoided a direct hit from so you can see both layers of detail with weathering and detail painting. I'm picturing they're down on one knee, the armorless damaged one, that side's arm also unarmored with the hand pressed on the ground to try to provide stability while they aim their rifle with their other armored arm at an unseen foe (or you could use another kit as the foe with a large energy cannon and make a whole diorama!)

Good build!

Mythbusters moment:

Passion makes it better(Japanese way!)

Be cool if you built old painless from preditor. The gun Jessy used.

I can guarantee 1/2 the obsessive compulsives watching are lasered in on his dirty plaster

I’m so tempted to buy this. But is it too hard for a first time gunpla? If anything is there any non complicated ones that are very high quality? I love exia and 00 gundam the most because setsuna F seiei is that guy.

When I was a kid I found a gundam at a big lots store. I thought it was a simple action figure but immediately found out you had to build it lol legit took me about 15 hrs and i had to disassemble multiple times cuz i messed up lol but its a core memory of mine! Loved building it!

Adam please build a real Gundam. I've been watching you since I was 12 years old dude I'm now 34, you got this. To this day in my life I used the question "did you watch MythBusters growing up" to know within 2 seconds whether I like you or not. If science isn't part of your everyday vocabulary, if engineering isn't something you just do by accident, if problem solving isn't as natural as breathing to you, then I probably think you don't have a fundamental understanding of mechanical universe and therefore me and you were living in two different worlds. It blows my mind that other people could see the part that you were talking how it's two separate pieces injected molded together and will functions mechanically and not automatically start brainstorming like you did to try to figure out how that happens. There's so many people that just live in this world and take for granted this stuff works one day all this stuff will stop working and it will take men like you to rebuild the world. I'm jealous that you're capable of finding like-minded people to surround yourself with also enjoy these types of things. Growing up in a backwards rural town in Tennessee I was around a lot of capable men who could fix things and build things but they didn't ever seem to really understand the mechanics or the physics behind how things work they just know that if you do this it fixes it. Watching you and Jamie on MythBusters showed me of it there who have the answers to the questions of how and why things happen, and thanks to that you showed me it's possible for me to learn why and how things happen and now I try to pay it for it and teach young curious people the science behind stuff and the reason behind it not just that you do it and this happens. Sorry for the rant it was a long way of saying I appreciate you and I hope you have a great rest of your life on this planet Sir.

I have mime y'all with a clear body add on

Imagine how crazy it is to actually design a kit let alone build one.

dumbfounded by aeolia schenburg the multiverse founder of gundam, jk... but jay turser can definately buy his own guitar if he likes it... but uhm it gets me sort of excited that quantum mechanics is possible with thrust these days, wheres the nobel for that guy? lmao glad ur having fun adam

When one part of my childhood meets another part of my childhood. YT recommendations knows me too well ❤
