Thanks for watching!

[@solidacid1337]

I'd love to see you guys build the lighting system, it would be so satisfying to watch the moon phases.

[@MoparMilan]

Martin Tandrup how about the earth and moon to scale with a sun that moves in real time

[@solidacid1337]

That would be MASSIVE.

[@jochenwuerfel]

He should do an ODB :O

[@rich1051414]

Sorry, I am a programmer, what does ODB mean? The only ODB I know are Object Databases, which I don't think you are talking about.

[@bungie17]

Where can I get one of this? Looks amazing

[@AgentWaltonSimons]

Looks like Adam is over the moon about it! ... I'll get my coat...

[@caseygtr]

You're a lunatic.

[@kauvik_]

Voshmir lunartic*

[@Subangelis]

He mooned us.

[@cmdr.shepard]

Word lunatic already comes from the moon so no need to paraphrase as lunartic.

[@PMW3]

IDK I'd be a little nervous about getting the 13th version of a moon project.

[@aidanfuge2108]

too soon

[@garrettcarlson7844]

Apollo 13

[@jaydendale1698]

Little Goblin apollo 13

[@notahotshot]

Plot twist: They are all number thirteen.

[@zapfanzapfan]

With the flashlight it's just like looking at the Moon with binoculars, all those craters along the terminator. Wow!

[@adam67]

It would have been so perfect if Norm responded "That spells moon" after 3:41.

[@TehUltimateBlazer]

that mold mark ruined it completly

[@dogge9101]

i agree it is very noticable

[@GelberSackMann]

TehUltimateBlazer ii

[@hellcatdave1]

It exists for a reason.

[@BattleBorn13]

That mold line is on the real moon too. Didn't you hear? It's artificial.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

@Hazmat 13 It was cast in cheese by the Chinese in 1376 B.C.

[@matheusabreu1190]

is there a mars one? that would be even cooler!

[@guybowka]

Matheus Abreu Olympus mons would look amazing on a model like that!

[@trumint821]

Or an Earth one! That would just be cool.

[@Hi-ks1vd]

Matheus Abreu mars would be very nice! :)

[@TheAmazingColt]

+TrueMint Yes, topographic globes exist.

[@jaspernolan3780]

even earth itself would be dope!

[@TheMiKeOfAllTrades]

Still waiting for the next Martian space suit video...

[@Sciesdraspsp]

Ex_Machina same !!!!

[@funwithflags7506]

+Ezra Salayandia i actually reside in the shop residence beside Adam and are a big fan of the channel and have recently questioned him about the product and he said fox wasn't happy with the accommodation of the suit and took it back,so no more series will be made.

[@TheMiKeOfAllTrades]

Xtreme 1 Damn that sucks. We should all write a petition to Fox.

[@bigchooch4434]

FunwithFlags what's that supposed to mean?

[@DannyKlimt]

4:49 It's kinda ironic Adam, since the moon actually is covered in dust ;)

[@DEO777]

New moon model? Looks more like a full moon.

[@mynaimrie]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@SinkyYT]

Adam should also make a motorized base for it so it spins slowly.

[@Zeldur]

They did a fantastic job sanding the master. That moon looks sooooo nice.

[@AKindChap]

Adam *still* hasn't ordered one of those globes? Do it. You deserve it!

[@shellbacksclub]

dying to see how they made it! please visit the production facility of these!

[@magiccubbaby]

Looks like a giant golf ball....

[@svr-simplevapereviews]

word, my nigga

[@80spodcastchannel]

I almost expected it to burst into flame with that sick flashlight at 5:51 ...LOL

[@ScytheNoire]

I wasn't impressed until I saw it in the dark with the light. That's how it's meant to be viewed. Shadows make it look amazing.

[@mattfarrar5472]

ScytheNoire I was exactly the same mate! Was like eh it's not that great then it was amazing under lights

[@sladeuselton]

I do agree with some people that once out of the box it does look like something I'd get from Hobby Lobby. But when they made some closeups when Adam turned on his Fire Sword, I started to appreciate the micro-scale details that were on its surface. I salute the company who put effort into making a very nice looking model. It would look even better in a glass case with LEDS on different sides while it sits on a podium that turns slowly. Very nice.

[@muhammadfaeez7864]

My parents get would get mad at me for buying action figures and putting them on display, I can't imagine what would happen if I bought a moon.

[@ot0m0t0]

Buy them a plot of land up there and sent them on vacation. See how they like that.

[@jkirchheimer]

"Thats their biggest size" - "Jipp" Adam sounds SOOO amazed and happy. Even that is worth watching this video!

[@SuicideNeil]

So, is Adam Mooning us in this video? I'll get my coat..

[@JasonicProtosh]

This moon is super cool but what really made me happy is when Adam sneezed, Norm didn't say, "bless you". I love that there are people that aren't perpetuating superstitious nonsense because our society deems it "polite". Thank you, Norm.

[@DisturbedShifty]

I was so unimpressed with it until he hit it with that flashlight. Then it was totally worth it.

[@hockley91]

When the flashlight lit it up, it looked totally different!!!!! Amazing detail!!!!!

[@puddleboat]

Holy crap. At first I was like, aw only thirteen? That's not a very good series number for a collector. And then I realised. Apollo 13.

[@RegalPlatypus]

Scrolling through looking for this comment. Sad you beat me to it. :)

[@Helvetica09]

Adam is just the purest most adorable person! He is soo happy and excited and he appreciates those things like i haven't seen anyone else do! He is like the Ariel of nerdy stuff!

[@TrentR42]

Does he have 4 postcards? Or 3 and a duplicate?

[@JonnyD3ath]

Trent Robertson OMG

[@TibbsW]

I was 80% jealous throughout most of the unboxing... then you turned the lights off and blasted the moon globe with the fire sword.. and all the contours stood out... and then I became 150% jealous. Ugh... I want one!

[@ReverendTed]

4:47 - He doesn't want his _moon_ to get covered with _dust_. Let that sink in.

[@richardyates2910]

ReverendTed brilliant and Bravo lol

[@inkno701]

Adam even does the best unboxings, he's excited like a little kid even though he knows what's in the box.

[@nickademuss42]

That would be a blast to shade and paint with an airbrush!

[@JonnyD3ath]

nickademuss42 i was thinking, get frank in to do a job on it

[@perry92964]

my thoughts exactly

[@larswilms8275]

exactly make it real with the mares dark. Would be way better than this single color.

[@trailkeeper]

also mark the apollo and others landing sites

[@ojakoo288]

nickademuss42 Honestly, giving it a grey wash would be far easier, with about the same results.

[@jimmywalls6008]

You did not get to see the detail. until you shine a flashlight on it.... beautifully detailed

[@welcometogulag3405]

Is it made of cheese though?

[@GunnarAlden]

Bipolarbear Swagson Rest in peace, Peter Sallis...

[@ImpatientTurtle]

"Its called the fire sword" Globe bursts into flame immediately after shining it on it.

[@Slinky518]

"That's no moon..."

[@dino3162]

Slinky518 It's your mother!!

[@duckwark]

"...It's only a model."

[@8bit_pineapple]

"Shhh."

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

"It's an expensive collectible"

[@8bit_pineapple]

"What is this! A moon for ants!"

[@briantrinidad8483]

4:42 Norm asks a question he already knows the answer to. Do an entire vid on the hyrule sword.

[@MitzukiFinest]

Love your vids Adam, I have been watching you since I was 6 on myth busters😄

[@MitzukiFinest]

cavv0667 no silly. I have first saw him on myth busters when I was six. And have watched him ever since😆

[@silvershamrock5489]

so youre like 10?

[@AKindChap]

He could be 20 years old.

[@MitzukiFinest]

Morgan Freeman No I am a teenager.

[@MitzukiFinest]

AKindChap nope

[@richardyates2910]

that model with ability to levitate and have a light source would be pretty awesome, but no lie it looks amazing with the details on it.

[@dccfy3155]

A craftsman should be ashamed at allowing such an obvious seam defect in the final product. And the hosts should be ashamed by not addressing the defect in their review.

[@Battusai1984]

A craftsman, yes, a company semi mass producing these, no other choice, they adressed this in the kickstarter, can't be done without massive cost increase.

[@grantandrews4826]

dcc fy3 When are you seeing the seam? I can't find it.

[@grantandrews4826]

Nevermind. Yikes.

[@digitalblasphemy1100]

that is the cost of molding. it is inherent in the process.

[@plaguemouse5549]

That's not a defect, it's just the default of every molded product. Having no seam is an additional and can only be achieved by manually sanding every single cast, that's just unachievable for mass production.

[@MrGrimm1911]

I kinda impressed with the scallops cut in the foam insert from the box. Simple and perfect to break the vacuum, pulling that type of packing free is always a pain.

[@TheRealAirdoo]

Norm, do you just have a folder of Adam videos to release when you drop an ad under the guise of regular content to placate the masses?

[@TheRealAirdoo]

As are the other 2.7 million people I assume.

[@TakemetotheGeek]

I want, I want, I love the joy of the guys opening the box :)

[@Luxludum23]

Finally some decent content

[@sochyvonnnora6035]

Akul BIG what you mean this channel is great

[@Luxludum23]

Yes, but they have just been doing some paid schilling for the pasy couple weeks.

[@sochyvonnnora6035]

Akul BIG ooohhh...must be really bad for them to make some money. again how much did you pay to see this?

[@Luxludum23]

They have premium subscriptions. the videos are also monetized and I can have my opinion. Dont go on defending a company on youtube comment section.

[@cheeseds]

really? I would call it a zero effort unboxing video

[@davidsholts]

I couldn't tell how good the topography was until you used the firesword, gorgeous!

[@JoshC03]

Adam, you sneezed into your hand... haven't you learned anything from Mythbusters?

[@larsmuldjord9907]

I was honestly a bit underwhelmed by the model while watching this video. That is, until you turned off the light and illuminated it with the flashlight. Then I was like "Wow! That's it! That's the moon!" :D Beautiful!

[@Settiis]

What the freak is a "google flashlight"?

[@Synnipoe]

Wosrethot He fucking explained it

[@aronseptianto8142]

it's a thing google's r&d employees made when they're bored

[@grimsoul0]

Weird thing is I couldn't find it by doing a Google search for google flashlight, I had to use the other name he gave for it. Search for firesword flashlight

[@Jonny2myren]

Wild guess: a flashlight developed by Google

[@dino3162]

Jonny2myren the question is why would Google develop a flashlight?

[@FatCandyProduction]

If you're gonna work on this with a ligthing system it might also be awesome so try and get the darker spots you see on the real moon painted on there. It's all one solid color now but the actual moon also has lighter and darker spot in it's surface (and I don't mean shadows). You have the skills to pull it off, you just need to make sure the placing of the darker spots is acurate (:

[@paulica038]

Damn you Morgan freeman

[@silvershamrock5489]

FLorea Paul ;)

[@SleepyPitou]

FLorea Paul I can smell you

[@psychoninja9]

this is really cool. and with the lighting it really looked like the phases of the Moon

[@AlexanderIrwin]

if it gets covered in dust. would it be moon dust?

[@JonnyD3ath]

Alexander Irwin no

[@WolfsInk]

As soon as you said 13 I immediately thought of the Apollo mission. This is awesome!

[@subodhpoudyal975]

"Awww that feels good"

[@Crokto]

thats really brilliant of them to use the seam from joining the two hemispheres as a marker for the near vs far side of the moon. fantastic dfm

[@subodhpoudyal975]

"You got the big one"

[@outshimed]

Good call on the lighting, Norm. And Adam, I'd love a followup one day (or more?) build video where you add a motor to spin it automatically and custom build the lighting.

[@KingDaddleDingo]

At first when it was in the bag it looked like a white ball without anything on it XD

[@EddieFivespeed]

I'm so blown away by how many times the moon gets hit. sooooo many craters damn

[@LokiDokiGG]

this is so unrealistic, the moon is flat

[@JonnyD3ath]

Loki Doki fuckin flat-mooners make me sick lol

[@Wrythley]

You're wrong! The moon is clearly a holographic projection displayed by the aliens to give us a false sense of security!

[@Zaqinabox]

We all know the moon is just a device built by the devil to drive people mad when you look at it. This orb is going to drive everyone to lunacy.

[@Galvatorrix]

Stop this.

[@1bgrant]

It's only flat when you're on it.

[@spikeydapikey1483]

That is a thing of beauty. You HAVE to make a dramatic lighting rig for it now!

[@Xiefux]

Its pretty weird that the earth is flat and the moon is round. That's so crazy

[@JonnyD3ath]

Xiefux IKR

[@aohige]

Whoa. That looks amazing with the firesword flashlight.

[@ninjaturtlesfan6049]

Adam is cool but i reali miss Jamie und mithbusters😉😉😉

[@ricardocabrera8112]

It's been a while that I haven't geeked out like I just did. Love it!!!

[@xtianor]

what is this, a moon for ants?!!

[@JonnyD3ath]

xtianor i needed this 😂

[@tl9888]

Hey Adam, I reckon you could paint this to make it match the different substrate colours on the moons surface. It'd really help to highlight the craters!!

[@Nayr747]

This is really cool but $580 is way too much for a 3D printed ball of plastic that probably cost 50 cents to manufacture. Hopefully a company sees the potential market and starts mass producing all the solar system objects for a reasonable price.

[@maximusgladio3989]

Nayr747 high detailation of moon model makes it expensive

[@benjaminsorenson]

There is already a company that is mass producing them that is where he got the moon from.

[@Fuzzycat16]

Adam?? IS THAT ADAM!!! thank you for saving this channel..

[@ciri151]

Lol wtf is this toy? I have a 1:1 scale moon in my living room.

[@4IN14094]

It is topography accurate, but I think you also have to paint it in such a way that it is also "colour accurate" due to the different shades and difference of reflex index between different areas to make the piece truly amazing.

[@BradGryphonn]

That's too cool for school. Tested, Adam, pleeese show us more of that torch...

[@adamn-a1710]

3:25 the OG dab

[@MrTommyboy357]

Beautiful detail, that light really made the detail pop! You've got to get the light kit for it.

[@adventurer180]

I'm jealous, that looks really cool and I bet even more so in-person.

[@Daehawk]

I remember this Moon thing. Forgot about it. Cool to see it,. Amazing.

[@seanwee3081]

Holy shit! Adam just taught me why the moon is crescent shape without talking.

[@MK.5198]

that lighting system would be a great idea for a one day build video!

[@chriscorley6478]

Pretty cool stuff. Reminds me of a fun science project from grade school.

[@hawkeyestegosaurus5680]

Seeing it from far away I was thinking it didn't look that impressive util he got the"firesword" out and really showed off the details if the moon globe. Now I think it's awesome.

[@RichardAugust]

The Flashlight really made the detail pop! Incredible undertaking to make a precision-detailed moon!

[@IGotTheFlag]

In Ireland the term 'savage' means unbelievable and great. So often Il read these video titles as "Adam's​ savage moon model". And I feel that it fits all the same.

[@ScottLahteine]

Some areas of the Moon -the so-called "seas"- have a darker albedo, and some craters feature sprayed out lighter material. I'd love to see Adam do a proper paint job on this globe to bring out more of the Moon's distinct character.

[@mons2918]

You should definitely make an animation using this Moon model.

[@DKTAz00]

Another interresting casting job for Frank ;)

[@talk2kev]

That is so cool, 3D accurate Moon globe I'm so jealous I must have one. When you guys did the lighting it really popped I can just see this globe be lit with the accurate phase for that day . VERY VERY COOL. Thanks for the video

[@JacobCarlson]

That model would be great to use as a miniature for a film. You could pretty easily composite a ship of some kind over footage of the model that would look great!

[@it-works-in-KSP]

You should make a lighting system that not only shows the phases of the moon, but the locations of the various manned and robotic missions to the moon.

[@Toccen]

That looked so nice in the light of the flashlight! :)

[@MrChief101]

Pretty darn cool. In conjunction with phase lighting that I presume would be stationary, you need a single light source (vertical strip of LEDs) and the Moon rotates.

[@twocvbloke]

That's a pretty beautiful model of the moon, would have come in handy for the lunar special on Mythbusters back in the day... :)

[@MadTheDJ]

Adam could gently sand out the seam, then make it a project to accurately paint the surface using NASA photos as reference. Could make a good Tested video.

[@IbakonFerba]

In normal light this looks cool, but omg is it beautiful under "space lighting"!!!

[@sparkycombs8177]

No politics, interesting subject, hopefully Tested and Adam Savage is getting back to good content again.

[@ptroinks]

5:50 was nerdgasmic! If I had one of those, though, I would try to remove that horrible "equator" line showing where the two halves were glued together.

[@ToastyRoland]

I'm totally not jelly, definitely didn't go to the website to source my own...nope. It's so beautiful! Cheers Adam.

[@TakemetotheGeek]

the light was awesome, for so many reasons every school should show this video

[@byronpocock8059]

you guys work so well together It really creates such a great atmosphere, and leaves you wanting more and more.

[@ideamissing]

I've always wanted a topographic globe, but of Mars. This was awesome, thank you guys for posting this.

[@MrXrisd01]

"looking at them makes you almost physically ill." LMAO I'M DYING!!!

[@ellis9520]

Norm: "Adam, Can I touch the surface?", "Ahhhh, that feels good".... Normgasm
