One Day Builds

Prop Builds

Mandalorian Blaster Prop Replica Kit Assembly!

Adam and Norm assemble a beautifully machined replica prop kit inspired by the hero blaster from The Mandalorian. It's a lovely prop that has all the hallmarks of a blaster from the Star Wars universe, designed with the same sensibilities of the propmakers from the original trilogy. This aluminum kit comes together with a combination of screws and glue, and we add some real weathering to it to make it worthy of our favorite Mando bounty hunter!

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Royal Crown of England!

One of the ways Adam has been getting through lockdown has been binging television shows, including Netflix's The Crown. And in the midst of his obsession with the show, Adam builds his own replica of the most important piece of The Crown Jewels: St Edward's Crown used for the coronation of British Monarch. Adam's replica is based on the stage prop made for the Hamilton musical, and will be the centerpiece for his King George costume!

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: God of War's Leviathan Axe!

Adam makes the iconic Leviathan Axe from the God of War games as a Christmas gift for his nephew! Using straightforward reference of the in-game axe found online, Adam scratch builds this replica prop out of sintra PVC foamboard for the axehead and carves a real wood handle. Including the paint and wood stain finish, it's a true One Day Build that takes just one day to complete from start to finish!

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Iron Man Mark I Helmet!

Continuing his work on his Iron Man Mark I armor costume, Adam turns his focus to the helmet. The helmet that came with the costume is painted resin, but needs a new paint metallic paint job for better screen accuracy. It's a multi-stage application to give it a brilliant chrome finish which is then taken down with some oil paint weathering. Adam also builds out the inside of the helmet to line it with leather and make it not only wearable, but also functional with a flip-up face visor!

Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Modifying Spot's Robot Form!

Adam's back with more projects with Boston Dynamics' Spot robot! In this One Day Build, Adam explores changes to Spot's physical form by building a variety of cardboard mounts and attachments to morph its silhouette and change how we perceive the robot's personality. From extended neck attachements to toddler shoes worn over its rubber feet, Adam tests how little shifts in appearance dramatically change Spot's character!
