Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Razor Crest Mods, Part 1!

Adam and Norm begin the long-term project of modifying their HasLab Razor Crest models to add lights, electronics, and paint weathering. The first step: disassembling the engines of the two ships and finding ways to wire in LED lights! Over the coming months, they'll be tackling everything from the cockpit to escape pod, using the magnificent HasLab model as a canvas to play in. This is going to be so much fun!

I love watching his videos where he modifies stuff but damn, how heavy handed he gets with stuff makes me wince.

I'm guessing when you can write things off as work expenses and or are fairly rich it makes things easier - I feel the exact same for what are nice not cheap things.

[@freighter1097]

@@natacus2007 Well if you're needing to get it apart to modify it, sometimes, gently touching it isn't going to get it to come apart. Doesn't matter if you have money or not. Not everything comes apart easy.

[@v1ckyb306]

[@DigitalNinjaClan]

I have been patiently waiting for a part 2 to see what else they do to their ships. I really want to modify mine and have been using this and others as a reference of what to do and what not to do.

[@rbuschy]

😳 I don't think I would ever let Adam play with my toys. He is so brutal in his handling.

[@TheScarnak]

Loved seeing how they treated them like actual objects instead of just collectibles concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age. Stay awesome Adam!

[@martintimmer8574]

Well,even if they want improve them ,I think they know it’s value,and being able to repair everything ,it makes them a bit bolder as well.

[@TerrabyteX]

Concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age ????? Indeed , in this day and age just buy expensive shit break it and buy another one , the planet will thank you ;)

[@TheScarnak]

@@TerrabyteX think you missed my point. Your view of the world seems much more toxic. Much love to you my friend.

[@muskete8992]

You can easily do so, if money doesn't matter. Simple as that.

[@ws6206]

@@TerrabyteX I would argue that the work they put into this would make this an item not one that gets trashed and replaced by another.

[@89ludeawakening1]

Since you've gone to this much trouble to disassemble the engine pods, you should make your own compressor fans for the front and have them spin with motors. That would be amazing to have them spinning and the rear nozzle lit up.

[@lewisphillips573]

I love when a Tested video is titled "Part:1". I look forward to seeing hte progression.

[@nr1988tube]

Adam Savage at his very best. The enthusiasm and excitement is infectious. Such a role model.

[@Y2KFrench]

This is going to be an interesting series…

[@dr_gotheem3899]

I love the collaborative dynamic between Norm and Adam. Keep up the awesome work Tested et al.!

[@TheMicker]

Just stumbled across this. Very interesting stuff. Would love to see you guys return for Part 2!

[@ryane.3539]

Adam cracks me up. Only in his mind does modifying a $700 toy involve a lathe.

[@Michman2024]

$700????? Yikes.

[@collinkelch7764]

I feel like this needs a “Viewer Discretion Advised” banner. The horror of breaking it apart and going at it with cutting tools had me looking away.

[@tested]

Ha!

[@stephen300o6]

You should see what kids do to these things!

[@terryprideaux]

Thankfully little kids don’t have access to the tools that Adam and Norm has to destroy the toy.

[@Pato-ARG]

@@terryprideaux kids dont need any tools,they jump on it until its apart,lol

[@zaphod4257]

You’re so right! I was physically wincing as they were taking apart the engine nacelles!

[@MrTheMighty]

Not gonna lie... That disassembly bit at the beginning was stressful to me. But I know the results will be worth it!

[@williammaxwell1919]

John Crum Hahaha... disassembly is sooo traumatising to most people that they cannot celebrate how things fit together and work (my vice)... it's like a mechanic putting an engine back together after a complete overhaul with a selection of nuts, washers and bolts left over.... yet the engine purrs like a kitten!

[@uberblue6843]

Almost had the stop watching when I saw the cowling being shredded to pieces.

[@MrTheMighty]

@@uberblue6843 Haha, yes! As a toy collector, the thought of breaking anything is anathema. Mostly because I lack the knowhow to make repairs.

[@Johnny.f.face1]

Automotive trim tools would help disassemble some of these plastic models with minimal damage. The iFixit plastic tools would help as well.

[@undpqbnu]

1 hour, 2 razor crests… saving this one for tonight. Gonna be fun!

[@Dan-ku9mt]

Ohhh, if I only had the skills to break off parts of a $350 collectible with the confidence of knowing I can put it back together just as good as new, let alone any modifications. You guys are captivating!. Can't WAIT to see the finished result!

[@5chr4pn3ll]

Super cool. Kinda scary to see them just breaking the ships, but I guess Adam has experience building Star Wars ships from before so it should work out. Excited to see more :)

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

He has a case full of hilts, I think he’ll be okay. 👌🏽

[@jimmytaylor1279]

I like the glow of the exhaust through the plastic. it looks like the exhaust is getting hot like a bell nozzle on a rocket.

[@tonysworkbench6070]

I agree. I prefer the look of the hot glow seeping through the exhaust nozzle. I wouldn't light block that at all.

[@jamesallred460]

You guys are seriously out doing yourselves! And watching the two of you work together on it is just a treat! Can't wait to see them finished!!

[@OfficialSamuelC]

It looks so brutal how Adam takes it apart but we know for a fact he knows how to fix any damage he makes with confidence. Kind of have to remind yourself he’s a master builder for a reason!

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

Hanging out with a friend, working on models. A pretty good way to spend a day!

[@derricktinsley9461]

I keep flinching everytime Adam jambs that screwdriver while its pointed at his groin.

[@GerritCoulter]

Norm's joke at the end was great.

[@orozer6558]

"Adam savage was able to build this in a cave." After turning it to a bunch of scraps. 😅 So amazing guys. One of my favorites so far 😍 .

[@gizmobunnybear6079]

Is there a part 2? Would love to see the next part of this project.

[@JoshuaOnTheTube]

Yes me too! This is the best video iv'e seen on the channel!

[@stormhenge]

Eagerly awaiting part II.... eagerly..... E-A-G-E-R-L-Y

[@rom8467]

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished builds! Not going to lie, it hurt a bit to see those pieces get broken but I know you'll both make it even better. Keep up the great content! I appreciate you guys and the passion you have for your craft!

[@Synthminator]

Fellow scale modeller here, love to have your videos playing, building along with me as I am at my models. Best company ever, thanks for the channel Adam. Cheers!

[@warpwingminis]

I love the look of the light leakage at the back, makes it look like the metal is really hot and heating up under the power of the "rockets"

[@THEHARMONIKZ]

My inner Child spoke to me... - "I want it!" Little bastard.

[@DominickvdHoff]

Cant wait to see more! I love the naboo fighter, but I miss this ship already!

[@-MrFozzy-]

Spoiler I’m actually pretty stunned that they blew it up…I know in retrospect it makes sense as an end to his bounty hunter life, but it’s still pretty shocking and quick for a beloved iconic ship. The fighter is cool, especially with the metal finish, but it’s no razor crest

[@Engitainment]

Loving the way the lighting isn't pitch-perfect all the way around, and the editing of the episode was top-notch with little breaks and asides (I almost expected a CSI "YEAAAAAAAAH" when Norm got that part off first try). Can't wait for part 2!

[@soluciones11s.a.s81]

Adam is an inventor, he see something and wants to improve it. Most of people watching this video are collectors. We just have a different mindset and see this things as collectibles. That’s why we are al nervous watching somebody using a power tool on such a collectible piece haha.

Loving this. I used to do this when I was a kid, and will again when retired. There SOOOO many new materials now!!!!!

[@nateyP513]

I love the fact that you guys are so hype about the Haslab RazorCrest , that we’re getting not one, not two, but possibly 4 videos now, dedicated to you guys having an awesome play day with a very expensive toy. As expensive as it may be, I’d still be putting a wash on it too if I ever get one... Watching Adam customize toys would make for a show I’d watch at least once a week...Thanks fellas. Cant wait for the next installment ☮️

[@TheHavnmonkey]

I def clenched my teeth a few times watching your disassembly. Absolutely fascinating watching this. I consider myself a creative person but no way I would've taken the Razorcrest apart like that! Thanks for doing it for all of us!

[@adamtebrugge4937]

Being able to literally tear things apart, and know you can fix it, is great. love what you have done to light these nacelles. I don't mind being able to see through the tail cone. To me, it reads as it is so hot the metal is glowing. Keep up the great mods.

This was so cool to watch! Especially since I've been going mad lately creating some custom taillights for my project truck using so many different types of leds and diffusing techniques with an end goal of a fully diffused look similar to modern Audi or Porsche SUV's.

[@karoliandrygoods6457]

I really enjoyed this video! Anxiously awaiting the series. It reminds me of the older Premium videos, such as the blade runner Tomenosuke build, the lego Falcon build, etc. The live streams and show and tells have been really stabilizing over the pandemic, but the longer form videos are fantastic and great to put on while I work!

[@daniel_f4050]

While the idea of spending that much money (and time is money) on a single display piece makes me anxious, this has got to be my favorite episode yet. Watching Adam and Norm just go for it, knowing that things will go wrong, is amazing. Particularly how they so quickly see everything as an opportunity to add more or better ideas. You guys are incredible.

[@JULIOCDELC]

Adam and Norm nice job.

[@BROON71]

This is the way!

[@techbio]

Those lights are dope, can't wait to see the completed project. When was watching you install the nacelle lights I had an idea for the exhaust that if you started with the outside ring lights coming on then used a timer to bring on the middle light, ramping up to full brightness over ten seconds or so, it would have the effect of looking like the engine was warming up. You could even add a sound effect.

[@jeff1176]

$800.00 for the ship, tear it apart, add a few bucks of lights and wiring, brain twisting know how and viola you have a one well 2 of a kind Razor Crest. Incredible, great job and vision you have. I don't possess the imagination and knowledge to do any of that. Truly wonderful to see how you work thru all the snafu's. Awe inspiring video.

[@jeffreymoffitt4070]

I loved seeing the toys broken apart! Thats exactly what i did when i was young! Then make it how you want!!

[@artfact2]

Aw man that was great, so much improvisation and trying things, they're going to look incredible. The first 20 minutes is more like a One Day Break.;)

[@IOwnThisHandle]

YES!!!!!! Awesome series!

[@ShabeRaven]

Every time Adam goes to the sink area I get so confused because in all the videos I've watched I've never seen where in the shop that is actually located. It's like some magical mystery nook that can only be accessed by solving a riddle.

It's like locating the rumpus room in the Simpson house.

I actually did a video on taking this apart, and installing some lights. I didnt take off the front portion with the tabs but managed to get landing lights in anyhow. How you broke the rings is what i was afraid of! Glad to see that you guys are doing this as well

You had me at 'this is a set of videos of us slowly modifying the Razor Crest'. Count me in...

[@miklawson211]

I agree with the other viewers "Viewer discretion advised". I can't believe how excited and anxious this video made me feel. These Razor Crests will be fantastic when finished. There was some one on the Facebook Group "We backed the Razor Crest" who catalogued where all the body screws where. The thread started off showing where missing body panels covering the screws were. I think it would be helpful to you when you come to take the hull of the Razor Crest apart. I "think" there are 19 or 20 screws in the body. Each location seems to be numbered.

[@dtxgaming5901]

On the plus side, you know a child will never be able to take it apart

[@schiltz371]

AAA video here folks! These are the type vids I can’t get enough of, great job team! I really appreciate watching the whole process INCLUDING the fu(k-ups which can’t illustrate better what we makers deal with. It would have been easy to edit the mistakes out, but choosing not to makes it more real letting people see what an adventure this can truly be. This makes the end game that much more enticing for me personally. Still waiting for The Evil Dead cabin Adam promised……..in my head. Give us some sugar baby!

If I were designing a craft, the paint around an ejected life pod would be violently different (maybe even reflective) from the rest of the craft. So when another craft found it they would start a search away from the craft faster.
