Went through that last night….working on a piece, look up thinking it was 12-12:30 and it was 3 AM lol

[@Weazel1]

I can understand your anxiety over what the “proper shade” of the base color needs to be. If you go to any military modeling forum, you will come across any variety of arguments on what’s the correct Olive Drab used on a Sherman tank or if a particular ME-109 had a specific RLM color on a tail flash. And despite there being paint codes and FS numbers to go by, you will get variations within the same fleet of vehicles even if freshly painted from the same paint batch. That doesn’t even take into account the effects of sunlight exposure, rain and other weathering factors. You’ve done a great job making it look the part and I applaud the work you did on this armor. It looks fantastic.

[@Durkan34]

Or the fact that the real things were often painted in the field, in a rush by people who had more pressing concerns than colour matching.

[@sawyerawr5783]

as someone who builds both model kits and model railroads...oh god don't get me started. why my favorite railroad decided to pick a color about 2-3 shades darker than standard Pullman green for its coaches I'll never know, but its annoying to no end.

[@mndlessdrwer]

If you look at model paints intended for use on models of military aircraft, watercraft, and land vehicles, you'll quickly discover that there are at least 1001 different shades of green and even more for tan and brown. Seriously, the amount of effort and detail some of these model makers go to is extraordinary, to the point it's almost frightening.

[@boneclawwalker3778]

@@sawyerawr5783 the Arkansas/Missouri local passenger line (that still runs a few coaches down to Van Buren from Springdale AR, among other routes) did something very similar. Such a pretty green but kinda hard to find.

[@odyshopody9387]

Great job! My son and I went to the 2016 San Diego Comic Con dressed as Colonial Marines. It was the 20th anniversary and they had a panel with all the original cast, I got to go up and ask them a question.James Cameron liked my out fit and Bill Paxton signed my helmet with "Game Over"! Wonderful experience, we actually did the pepakura method and overlaid it with fiberglass. For the helmet we attached all those pieces to the shell of an old steel us army helmet.

I love the one on one feeling you get watching Adam build something reminds me of when I was a boy in my grandpas Garage just watching him build

[@originalmarley]

Hi Adam, Ex-British Mitary here. Now I understand that my comment is now redundant, seeing that you have finished the armour now, but I wanted to offer a hint/tip to camo. There are a few rules to applying camo that help a lot. Ok in a camo pack there are black, brown and green. So, green ist the base. Then black is used to break up the lines that you see immediately with your eye. Brown is then used to create shadow, where shadow shouldn't be. And green is used to merge. I just thought I would give my 5 cents to the equation. I loved the video!

[@danielreddington9305]

I really appreciate the honesty of Adam in these. It makes me feel like just have a go, anyone can be a maker

[@kayura77]

You really can! Step one to be good at something is to be bad at it. Currently doing that myself as I try make a workbench out of wood from home Depot. Never done woodworking before. Read some stuff, watch some, have a go! 👍 I shall be cheering for you from this KZbin comment 📣

They make me a bit antsy to make stuff, I've always had this dream of making a huge terrain for war gaming. Then I remember I don't have the tools or anything, also I don't even play war games (I don't know anyone who plays). I just love that stuff though. It's really great to see someone who has all the stuff they need for a goal and to accomplish that goal though. Especially when the person has such an interesting personality and an engaging way of speaking. Not to mention the second hand enthusiasm Adam brings to the table, like a puppy, you can't help but get excited when you see how excited they are.

[@RoosterFloyd]

@@LemonadeOnMars Yeah that's what I've heard, just get out there and do it, you won't be a pro but you have to start, it's not something you can learn without hands on failures. I actually had an idea for a miniatures game involving sentient trash bots. Like they are made out of whatever random bits of machinery and metal they can find. At the center is a little core that is the actual mechanical being, but they have the ability to make shift it's limbs and stuff out of whatever they find. I like models that are wacky and disproportionate.

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@bustedsim]

Watching Adam struggle with this process in this video was really a boon to me as I was struggling with my own shading and colouring issues I was having with a drawing I was doing as I watched. Everyone hits that point where they just aren't sure if they've got things right and might've ruined a project and must shift into a "recovery mode," even Adam Savage. It was nice to share that struggle at the same time as him.

You really should put a GoPro into that helmet lense. That would be perfect Con footage.

@@garymurphy5133 my part in it was several months designing what the soldiers would see when wearing the googles, as well as design and animation of the double screens on the top of the big guns. In the name of time and budget, they ended up dropping the augmented reality concept. It was supposed to help them have better situational awareness indications stuck to things in view. And at some point someone added more video game like stuff all over the screen… the director didn’t want that (at first) but… whatever. :/ that’s the way of things some times, cutting room floor or last minute changes required by some top level executive in the process that just wanted it. Oh well…

[@vernhoke7730]

As a Marine mechanic, in the seventies, we went from the all forest green to 4 color camo in the late seventies. I painted a number of our vehicles from jeeps to 5 ton 6x6's to trailers. Now there us an actual pattern to it, not just spray and go, to follow and it is inspected. There is a technical manual, a 2'x3' book, with patterns for every piece of equipment. The 4 colors were Forest Green (the major color), field drab (brown), black and sand.

[@RG1001]

At 42:10 you are referring to what the Japanese call 'Mushin' or 'no mind', it is considered a Zen like state of being at peace with ones self. In sports its called being "In the Zone" the world melts away and the only thing between you and It is your task at hand. It can be a difficult state to achieve but boy howdy once you get there everything can come together really quick on what you are doing at the time. I would get there when sparring back when I did boxing and it was like seeing everything and nothing all at the same time. It really is hard to explain.

[@wormspeaker]

Software developers love finding their way to the zone too. Unfortunately the number of meetings and emails that require attention usually keep us out of it.

[@googiegress]

Musicians, artists, writers. Any creative work, really. I want to describe it as the difference between trying to walk while everything is hanging off of you and impeding your movements and weighing you down, vs. the feeling of each thing gently releasing and falling away. Leaving you alone, complete, at ease, in control, and speeding along toward your goal.

[@tiagokuchnir7496]

Find myself in that state frequently, both performing surgery ou woodworking.

[@boneclawwalker3778]

Not just in sports - artists and writers also get into the same zone, we tend to call it "flow" state, where everything just "flows" without intent, without conscious effort, without any perception of passage of time... People with ASD/Autism/Asperger's/ADD/ADHD spectrum consciousness are especially skilled at entering Flow State. Many neurologists have observed it in our brainwaves. In Neurodivergent people on that spectrum, it's called Hyperfocus. (In all honesty, ADHD/ADD shouldn't really be labelled as an attention "deficit" problem. It's more "We struggle to aim our hyper-focused laser beam of attention to what YOU want us attendant to, when you want it. Instead, we'll be piercingly attentive to 15 other minute details in the environment." But that doesn't fit onto an acronym neatly, or sound like it needs therapy and medication. )

Of course camouflage is challenging to get right. The closer you get to finishing it the harder it is to see….. right?

[@sunny-sq6ci]

not necessarily. the more recent 'digital' camo patterns do appear complex but really are simple geometric shapes thats designed to throw off our brains. but in truth the more simpler, like those from desert storm to ww2 era work and still work just fine for most environments.

[@d0natr0n47]

my question is why is spelt 'camouflage' and not

[@ormondjosh]

That camo is super unique and was created entirely for the film. I think the original BDUs that the Colonial Marines wore were based on South African military camo. I might be wrong about that. It's not the typical pattern that you expect, which makes it way cooler. Love this build. Side note, who else ordered the Nerf M41A pulse rifle blaster replica? Guilty.

[@neilmackenzie4394]

At one point Adam rambled on about the feeling he had when working and connecting to the task. I believe that this is a thread of commonality that all makers, artists, and builders experience. As humans, we are born with what we can use to create. I felt this extension from the past when I made a suit of chain-mail. It also takes place when I paint and sculpt.

[@SheffieldChef]

That feeling you're talking about... "I am the smallest thing in the room and I am the room" is an almost perfect description of a Zen state.

This is one of my favorite videos in the channel

[@catherinedavis1690]

My x-husband camoed our hunting bows. Pick a few medium sized leafs. Spray whatever “ background” color you prefer . Then hold the leaf randomly over spots and lightly spray over and around the leaf. Repeat several times, change color, repeat until the object you are painting is covered as you like. This is obviously a forest camo but it is amazing looking and simple. Fern leaves work great too. You can also use flat rocks or bark etc as where you don’t put one layer/color. Where the color is not, just a natural shape is, with a little practice, works great. Just a fyi that we used successfully. Take colors from where the camo is hiding you. The colors come from any area of nature you are trying to hide in. They aren’t specific, like snow camo is shades found in snow areas, desert storm: sand snd rock colors etc etc

Hello Adam, I've noticed you have used the KZbin video for reference of the armour that I bought some time ago. In the last couple of years me and a friend re painted the skull and fixed the damage on the fiberglass. We also used black fireplace grate blackner on the armour to give it that worn dirty used look. You did a grand job on yours! The webbing is a mare to get right especially the shoulder section. I have photos of the finished armour if your interested.

[@northerndarklight5305]

I KNOW this feeling of which you speak. 44:09. I've had it a few times. Along with the connectedness I feel a sense of well-being, safety, and satisfaction, and I smile. The odd thing for me is my brain is not correctly processing what my eyes see. I see shapes and textures, but I cannot tell you which shape or object is closer to me, and which is further away, or how they relate to one another. I can switch them back and forth. I see clarity but not context. I recognize my situation and realize I can quickly bring myself out of it, and back to reality, but I REALLY DON'T WANT TO. I finally do it most begrudgingly, because I don't know when or if I'll ever be back there. Maybe years, maybe never.

[@michaellunsford9329]

I think that feeling @44:15 is when practice and experience replace all conscious decision making during an (creative in my experiences) endeavor. Letting yourself produce work without the (as Adam said) ego worrying about the outcome. It isn't even shared only with the people that see the video, but anyone who sees the product for it's lifetime.

Rustoleum camouflage line turns really shiny with use, it's a side effect of being sort of ultra ultra matte and easy to buff off when neccesary.

I love Adam's enthusiasm.

[@stevegreenway1796]

Adam. I used to be part of an Aliens costuming group the UKCM. We had connections to Terry English and the world's largest Aliens prop collector Harry Harris. So to build our suits we used SpatCave plastic armour (far more accurate than Golden Armour) in green (his green is lighter, because the weathering will sort that) and then painted them with the humbrol paints as you did. And you end up with what looks like cartoon armour! And very matt, which is not what the originals looked like?!?! When I did it I'd spent so long creating a Hudson like armour I nearly cried. But then I used the magic weathering solution. And it's what Terry uses... Stovax black grate polish. At first it seemed like a horror show, too dark. But as I trusted the process it just works! And I had pictures taken at an event where Harry's collection was on display against the real Hudson armour, and even Terry stated that you could hardly tell the difference.

[@MarkWarbington]

Going to see a 35th-anniversary screening of Aliens at a local theater tomorrow night. It has been at the top of my list for my all-time favorite movies since 1986.

[@BigFrankieC]

We didn't take any pictures, but back in the late '90s, some friends and I made a set of Colonial Marines armor for a paintball team. We used airbrushes and stencils for the camo, then a black candy coat, and finally a matte clear coat. Then Mike put on each set of armor and rolled around on pavement for a few minutes, while we hit him with hockey sticks. Then after a light cleaning, we dry-brushed silver paint in all the scratches. It looked really good. I found that when painting life-size camo, it looks best if you paint it how one would probably paint it for a real production line.
