[@TheMetroDaniel]

[@supersunman765]

i know!!!

[@Cybornut]

DLCollectorGames brilliant!

[@kibbkibbie2222]

DLCollectorGames Read my fuckin mind :o

[@rockyxbautista]

I think Adam mega-evolved!

[@brickbuilder671]

Alternate universe Adam Savage.

[@corrioliseffect]

"Open the pod bay doors Hal." Oh my gosh!!!! I am so excited!!!!!! Finally, a Sci-fi kit that speaks to meeee!!!!! I shall play 'The Blue Danube Waltz' softly in the background as I build it. * tears of joy *

[@mountainmanfab]

No matter if you you doing models or real car and bike restorations if you ever have a problem finding a specific color paint in small quantities look for a local beauty supply place...they carry acrylic enamel in ever color and shade imaginable or at least can order it for ya...fingernail paint lol.you can prime buff sand and clear coat it like any other enamel and one hell of a lot cheaper then"special" order touch up or"matched" paint

[@Brok3nC4rrot]

+

[@trekguy66]

mountainmanfab Some of that beauty supply stuff is far cheaper, too. I've been using Dollar Store eyeshadow on models with great success and it's just as good as the Tamiya "makeup kits."

[@mountainmanfab]

dont know about any beauty kits but whenever we always used to go hit the finger polish isles whenever we needed a hard to find or expensive touch up paint...your local hot rod or paint shop doesnt have anything on women when it comes to being picky about color lol..if you can dream up a color...standard,matte.metallic or pearl its on a shelf in a little 2 oz bottle somewhere!

[@yink2andahalf]

Great tip

[@williamhayden7711]

Good advice, here's an alternative. Just take existing Tamiya, Vallejo, etc. colors and make your own shades. There are tons of color recipes on the Interweb and it isn't hard to come up with your own. Honestly if you can't find the color from Vallejo chances are you aren't going to find it. They have one of the largest pallets of colors available all for less than $3 a bottle.

[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

I'll have to keep an eye on this. Their TRS Battlestar Galactica was my second build after getting into the hobby, and it was just a joy to do.

[@Faestingman]

Love Norms enthusiasm in this. He's really become a great interviewer!

[@Areacode51]

dam adam what's been going on

[@TheSpyt67]

Moebius is my personal favorite kit company. The sculpting and quality of the plastic are the best ive ever seen.

[@ChristopherDoll]

Cool interview and thank you for showcasing Frank's efforts with these fantastic model kit offerings

[@williamcooper2335]

Oh! Wow!!! I gotta get me one of these!!! I've been waiting since age 12 to get this kit realized in injection plastic! Built resin versions but you just can't beat injection plastic! This is fantastic news! Well done to Moebius Models! Thank you so much!

[@JAMBOmillar]

Adam Sandwich

[@PuddingASMR]

best comment

[@punkbloater]

omg i laughed so hard, theres food everywhere now... omg! Thank you.

[@AireJayy]

Damn.. that's pretty Adam Savage

[@Behindstage]

Jamie Millar you made a human in England laugh today...well done..love it ha

[@dirites]

HAHA I was expecting a funny comment but not this good. made me laugh out loud

[@PixelGod240]

OMG I build gunpla and never even thought to check and see if space odyssey had model kits!! This movie was huge in my childhood and later on when I "woke up" ;) thanks guys!

[@blakenoneya2597]

Lol my first thought was older and bigger Adam Savage. Was happy to see people in the comments saying this. And I totally want this model. Must have it for my collection.

[@losttribe3001]

But will it kill me and send me floating off into space?!?!?!?

[@duckrutt]

Only if you try and take it apart after you've finished building it.

[@shadowblack1987]

There's a free 3D model going around. We 3D printed it in a few peices on our professional 3D printers. came out amazing, about 30 inches long.

[@FishKungfu]

drooool! This model looks fantastic!

[@jimkirk360]

Thats cool i never thought they would make kits from those movies.

[@JohnniOstergaard]

Cool stuff, Sci-Fi designs is always extremely interesting to look at :D

[@scottfirman]

Why it took this many years for someone to finally get that model out there. I was one of the few kids that had parents that actually nursed my model building habit. I received the Space Shuttle and 747 Model for Christmas one year. The next year it was the movie version of the USS Enterprise. I made money snow shovelling driveways and mowing to support my hobby as a kid but my parents let me be the nerd I was. This model was always on my list to build if it ever came out but sadly never did.

[@Da40kOrks]

That's going to be a super popular kit.

[@ginuz]

I see also a space station behind the guys... is there a kit coming? hope Moebius Models will do it! and in a wonderful scale!

[@humanbraininrobotbod]

I built the Aurora Moon Bus kit when I was a kid - must have been around 1970. I would turn down the lights in my room and stare at it.

[@alecfoster6653]

Me too!

[@noirnegro7659]

Looks good, it would be nice if one of the front hatch can be displayed open with one of the mini space pod.

[@Corndog4382]

Best sci fi movie ever made.

[@TheEvanovitch]

have to disagree, i can understand the nostalgia everyone is having. heck, even the amazement of the special effects and storyline for the time this movie was made. however, in every single way, from acting, to storyline, to special effects, to music, to whatever you can think of, this movie can not measure itself even slightly against modern space sci-fi like interstellar. so no, not the best sci-fi movie ever made

[@Corndog4382]

TheEvanovitch I'm a huge fan of sci fi, I love interstellar, but 2001 is beyond a masterpiece of technical achievement for the time it was made, and the direction by Stanley Kubrick is arguably the best of any sci if movie ever. I'm 19, so I didn't grow up with the movie, I just don't think something like interstellar (while really good) can stand up to the greatness that is 2001. There isn't a scene in the movie that isn't mind blowingly beautiful.

[@allluckyseven]

Got distracted by the Adam Hughes* Star Wars T-shirt, but I came back when he said 600 and something pieces! Jeez! * guess there's an adam "huge" joke in there somewhere.

[@SafirJamil]

Wow. I hope they do a Leonov model too!

[@stocchinet]

Man i wanted one of those things for so many time

[@agutierrez20]

I need this!

[@graw777]

You dont fool us Adam...its you! Now take off that amazing custome and tell us how it was made!

[@lorcannagle]

What's the unpainted kit in the top right of the display case - the one with all the fuel tanks and then the long arm? And is that a BSG Raptor in woodland camo beside it?

[@OliveRC-Addict]

Adam's Father ?

[@Adam-yg9xk]

0:56 Shout out to me, YEAAAAA

[@Quaralane]

I am...drooling. This is a dream

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

It's great to see that Jackie4Chan found work after his stint on HWNDU.

[@1BigBen]

I hope Adam will make One Day Build on this and hope it will be long and details

[@sebastiancipolat]

amazing

[@theofficialavenger]

I hope you guys do something on Gunpla/Snapfit soon, I think it'd be really interesting to see you all react to some MG engineering, and stuff like that.

[@Shaharskywalker]

Nice one

[@alexuribe4851]

Yes!!!!

[@blcouch]

Norm is interviewing what would come out of a Telepod if Adam and Phillip Seymour Hoffman went in together.

[@lundme]

Adam, dont step on anything!

[@RealWitblitz]

Okay, I want one.

[@tostoday]

Cool.

[@TheMark]

Hey there! Do we have an estimated release date on the Discovery One kit?

[@alecfoster6653]

Why doesn't the space clipper have the Pan Am airline markings on it (like in the movie)? Hey...it's important! :)

[@ErwinPapa]

Norm, how many Moon Buses do you have? How many model kits do you own?

[@MosoKaiser]

Just one question: do the pod bay doors open?

[@Naroketh]

Whats the over and under on a MST3K S.O.L. kit?

[@lsufantc0409]

Moebius does some great models, I've done a few of there Battlestar Galactica models.

[@th3lonef0x4]

Do they have a statue for the bone ship?

[@pawpawstew]

I, too, thought that was Adam!

[@RydPodoJosh]

Does it light up?

[@ShadowcasterZero]

I wish i had room for that model

[@Mrhollerr]

I want one so bad! But I don't know if I can justify the price. Looking at other kits they have, it seems it'll be well over $100 :(

[@Straylight4299]

I want this so much, but i guess i probably couldn't afford it. I remember when i saw the pricetag for the millenium falcon i wanted i thought: "There is no way in hell i can allow myself to spend €500 on a piece of plastic if i'm not a millionaire." So, the "not-at-all-accurate-but-still-ok-i-guess"- €40 Model it was.

[@clevername333]

Wow

[@TheColonelKlink]

"Warner Brothers finally got a merchandising program together." Well. Better late then never.

[@michaelnelthorpe1825]

Will we see 'Let's Build's' for these (please please please)

[@sadochrist8534]

Um did 40 years in the future Adam Savage time travel back to this time line?

[@nik4790]

Norm has gotten way less awkward on camera

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

Did this ever get released?

[@SansP3ur]

Anyone know the scale of this kit?

[@hook0210]

I wanted to get a look at the death dealer standing in the background...

[@UncleJackOnline]

how about a pod holding Franks body to go with it?

[@Psychlist1972]

This model could be awesome.

[@williamhayden7711]

I love Moebius kits as well. Two complaints/suggestions: 1. Either reduce your prices (prices are too high for what you get - compare to any other kit manufacture that give more detail, more plastic, etc. etc. at lower costs, just not the same subjects) 2. Improve fit, finish and detail (again Moebius lags behind in this area. Softly molded, soft detail and troublesome fit) These are complaints that Moebius has been hearing from scale modelers for decades and yes there have been improvements, but the contrasts/conflicts between items 1 and 2 listed above it makes it frustrating to buy Moebius kits unless you just HAVE to have the subject and don't care that you are over paying to get it. Feel free to hate on me, but understand I'm NOT alone in this. Every modeler I know has these same 2 complaints about Moebius. I'm just making an opportunity to voice that again in case Moebius is monitoring the comments.

[@williamhayden7711]

I will note that the detail of the Discovery shown here is fantastic, then again this is NOT the final product. However if the final product lives up to these prints it will be a huge step up in terms of sharp detail. I'm sure this will also be a very expensive kit and the solid steel rod will present issues for those that insist on lighting kits such as myself. The Interstellar kit in contrast which is much more indicative of Moebius in terms of cost/quality/value is very softly molded (meaning the sharp detail expected today just isn't there) with very very few kit parts and originally listed for over $40 US (much higher than similar sized kits with similar part counts). Yes there is value in licensing, but there isn't the sense of value when it comes to Moebius and I hope that's something they honestly seek to change.

[@1TotalJabroni]

but what if you stuck a bunch of paper clips into a jumbo eraser instead that could be cool

[@chakrazoo]

Would be a great "Giveaway" hint, hint :D

[@mr_camouflage9793]

He looks like a big Adam

[@tilago]

Wow Adam sure has let himself go...

[@minutemark]

Come clean. That man is actually Adam Savage as seen through a funhouse mirror.

[@kimopuppy]

Epic, To bad I suck at building models

[@datashat]

Daaaiyum look at that AE-35 unit

[@followtheworms4031]

I hope those pod bay doors open

[@artfx9]

Is this guy Adam's cousin?

[@meccamw]

when is this kit available?

[@meccamw]

It started shipping yesterday.

[@leppeppel]

Ten years from now, Adam will have let himself go and invented a time machine.

[@gerardgerard8344]

I want One!!! G :D London

[@strhunter666]

HA!... i knew adam had a time machine

[@Ultimate_sir]

Adam really let himself go

[@w3vjp568]

Steel rod? Wouldn't carbon fiber tubing, which is widely available, have been even better?

[@scotpens]

Carbon fiber costs way more than steel -- about ten times more expensive pound for pound.

[@jr52990]

I like what they're showing... but their website needs to be updated in a bad way.

[@ViralBallistic]

bA dUM tSSS

[@peas1171]

Whaaaaaaat I'm here early

[@mtthwxiong]

7th FeelsGoodMan

[@alliecaulfield6624]

Guy looks like Mark Hamil

[@mtmnynj8071]

Classic!! That kit is awesome. I like Norman but G0TD@MN Norman!! Let the man speak!!

[@mavos1211]

Haha that's exactly why I came to the comments! THIS IS ADAM FROM 20 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE...... illuminati confirmed.

[@ianelliott4370]

its almost a prototype

[@lucasscoppio4195]

awesome, but the site of the company is so bad that makes it really hard to buy anything :/

[@wolf40k]

Wow, Adam really let himself go

[@mnrvaprjct]

What happened between Adam savage and Casey neistat?

[@EthanfromEngland-]

I cant afford it can I....

[@michaelupton1503]

anyone heard the price?

[@jeffreyt.steptoe5306]

In the "Neighborhood"of about $150.00(UGGGGHHH)!!!

[@sirloxleymendoza972]

too small for $144

[@capefin]

sweet - looks like yet another way to spend my money....

[@googlename364]

Purple mattresses suck. They are uncomfortable junk.

[@lloid6619]

And at those prices... I'm not that much of a fanatic.

[@nyrangersfan6325]

No more Peter Jackson's prop collection videos? That's lame. We only got to see very little of his very massive collection! :/

[@danielames9385]

I would have watched, but naturally norm.

[@scoutisabelle]

I thought that was the Death Star when I saw the thumbnail.
