As part of his ongoing Aliens Colonial Marines armor cosplay, Adam has been recreating the distinct hand props from James Cameron's masterpiece. Using reference from his access to the original USCM welding torch prop, Adam completes his own using both 3D printed parts and scratch building the screen frame out of brass. Then it's time to try on some of his newly acquired armor for the first time!

I’m a firm believer that these being filmed solo are one of the best things to come from COVID. These make me feel like a kid again hanging around my dad’s workshop. I’m grateful for that when I just need to think.

@revdupartist9386 Год назад

I like Adam's self shot vids as well. It seems, to me, that he's less distracted. Ok maybe that's not the right word. He does seem actually to go into what I would call hyper focus. When 'it's just him' the Veil drops. He's really connecting. He's looking and actually seeing someone rather than seeing a camera. A connection energy happens, and it's the same exact energy that happens when talking to someone in person. It's a dissolving of space/time. When there are other people around it's different, he sees the camera. I recognize it, the same thing happens with me.

@sbbassslapper Год назад

@stevegreenway1796 Год назад

Adam, you need to use Stovax Grate Polish to weather the helmet to match the armour. Being an ex member of the UKCM group we followed the instructions on how to paint and weather our suits for an event we ran years ago at the Leicester Space Center where we ran an event similar to Alien War at The Trocadero in London (which i was lucky enough to experience when it was open). We were told by Harry Harris (who owns the largest collection of Aliens props) that the original suits were painted with humbrol enamel paints, which creates a cartoon looking camo, but then weathered with Stovax. It's scary to apply, and several times I thought I'd ruined my armour, but the end result was compared to Hudsons suit (which id based my suit on as im a huge fan of the late Bill Paxton), which I stood next to at the event, and you couldn't tell the difference in the weathering.

I completely and utterly agree, Aliens is the best sequel ever made. What an absolute treat, that you've reached a point as a maker and content creator, that you have the rare opportunity to visit places and hold original masterpieces in your own hands. It's every nerds wet dream and you Adam, have reached this point on your own. What an astounding achievement to cross off your bucket list. Your dude, Decan. Little question if you should see it, who is your favorite character from Aliens? You would think it's obvious, but the more you think about it, the harder the choice gets LOL Mine is absolutely Hudson lol "Game over man, GAME OVER!"

@markmcconnell8705 2 года назад

But what beings me joy is that every time my wife and I go out to tend to the chickens or our small garden, on the baby monitor we see our newborn and hear your voice teaching the progress of your prospects and I think then…. Yeah… she will be alright. Thank you. For being a true person and a true individual. The world needs more thinkers like you!

I've been following Adams "Aliens" builds for a while now, I've seen the pulse rifle video, the motion tracker, the armor. So I knew this was gonna be a pretty straight forward build. I though he might go into the technics of how it was built or what some of the original parts might have been.

@ericyeater7476 2 года назад

They make bright blue-white LEDs with a flicker circuit for "welding" scenes on model railroads & dioramas. You could easily fit one into that welder for a little more verisimilitude. Might even be enough room for a speaker to make buzzing and arcing sounds.

@TypewriterChicago Год назад

The design of this seems brilliant for actual practical use. I mean, having a shade built into a hand-held welder (or even brazing torch) certainly beats having to put on goggles or a hood. For torches that don't output too much light, i think this would be awesome.

@codyluna7065 2 года назад

Adam, you should really look into 'Bend Allowance' and 'K factor' for bending sheet metal in the future. If you measure out your piece by the length of the flats on a straight piece of metal and neglect to calculate the bend allowances for the thickness of material, radius of the bend, and K factor for the given material type, you will always end up with a bent piece that is larger than you intended it. The simple explanation is that regardless of whether you think a piece of metal is bent at 90 degrees, there will always be a small radii to the bend (it's almost impossible to bend a perfect 90 without inducing stress fractures) and if you imagine the length of a perimeter of a shape (let's say a square) is bent with radii at the corners instead of the full 90 degree point, less material will be used in the bend radii. A simple calculation to adjust each flat-length pre-bend would remedy your conundrum with bending which I've witnessed a few times. There are even 'bend allowance calculator' apps that will calculate your desired length of run with the bend radii and material thickness to show the actual length of material to achieve your desired result.

Aliens is my absolute favourite movie and it's just such a delight to see a prop come to life like this. Words cannot describe how happy it made me feel to see Adam in an actual Colonial marine armour, like a little kid on Christmas Just fantastic! Now I want to see the building process of a motion tracker! :D For the longest of time I've been thinking of making my own Colonial Marine armour but as faith would have it, I ended up with a Starship Troopers armour instead. Molded after a screen-used set so it's very accurate. But one day I'll have my own Colonial Marine armour too, already got a pulse rifle so that's a start. Everything starts with small steps. Thank you for being such an inspiration and I love you for being such a joyful child in an adult body. Never stop being yourself :)

@lo-firobotboy7112 2 года назад

What I find most interesting about this style of prop building, is trying to replicated the methods, materials and mistakes of the original model-maker, who, in-turn was either creating something from scratch or replicating something from life (or fantasy). As my daughter would say, it's very "meta".

Hey Adam!
