Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Cylon Models with Battlestar Galactica's Aaron Douglas! 

Aaron Douglas joined Adam two years later on his San Diego Comic-Con panel Watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K8414lPiyjc.html

I just spent over an hour watching two grown men build and paint toys and models and it was absolutely awesome! I hope one day I have a buddy over and he goes through my house and says, "This is crazy! You're ten!" because, let's be honest. That's the real dream.

Just watched two guys make models for an hour. 10/10 would do again

I just spent over an hour in ultimate geekdom watching this, and absolutely loved it, cheers guys. Adam you should have more guests on like Aaron for this length of time, doing stuff like this, watching him relax and the cool stories bouncing back and forth whilst making cool figurines was unusually enthralling to watch. Its no wonder I gave up watching normal tv years ago!

"Oh my god! You're ten!" He's been here two seconds, and already he understands Adam perfectly.

I've never seen Battle Star Galactica or heard of Arron Douglas, but after watching this I must now watch the whole series. Arron just seems like such a nice and cool guy.

Is there a way that you guys could get Adam and Jimmy DiResta in the same room? It could be a one day build. It could also be an exchange of craftsmanship tales, experiences and techniques. For your consideration.

its unreal to me how much time i can spend whatching adam tinker. perfectly content, just watching. it shouldnt be exciting but it is for whatever reason. After i usually walk into my tool room and try something, usually a different painting technique or a new idea for aging a piece, but this dude brings creativity OUT of peeople, and that my friend is a gift!

I was literally on amazon trying to find those flush cutters when Adam tells that he custom made them... Of course he did

As a 40k player, it warms my heart to see someone who drills their gun barrels.

"I read it on Reddit, it could be a total lie." Words of wisdom right there

Adam has a lovely singing voice, I had no idea!

i miss Battlestar Galactica .......and Bob Ross....I had no idea how much fun it would be to watch two dudes build and paint models....then again it's two of the coolest dudes on the planet...and off planet ;)

Wow, never thought I would enjoy an hour of watching paint dry so much!

It makes me happy that Robin Williams was a massive BSG fan.

I loved this! Watching two grow men relaxing, shooting the shit and getting creative. The stories brought back memories of watching Bob Ross on Sunday mornings. I'm a few yrs younger than these two but not enough that I didn't grow up watching the same morning and late night shows! RIP Robin Williams - you're missed, loved and still bring smiles to millions!

Dude, Adam can sing! lol. I love videos like this, hearing behind the scenes stories of amazing tv shows.

"Douglas just cold-cocked the sound guy!" best part of the whole video!

I nerded out this entire episode :D

mannn invite this dude back more Aaron and adam was a total treat to watch!

I have watched this no less than half a dozen times so far start to finish. When i'm working on an R/C car, Model kit, etc. It's the best just watching Aaron and Adam being Aaron and Adam.

I love how focused Adam gets on everything he does. He's an inspiration

You are so lucky to have someone to build with and shoot the crap with. When I am out in my shop, I listen to audio books with my ear shields on. After watching this I want to invite some friends over and do a build with. Then I stop and think about it and think it would cost me a friend because I am a freaking perfectionist and have to do everything myself. I will live vicariously through you.

I was ready to be disappointed he didn't choose to build the Viper (just feels so wrong for Tyrol to work on anything else), but that was a great story about seeing the Raider "in real life" for the first time. Well done Aaron Douglas :)

Adam, you inspired me to buy the Cylon kit and do my own one day build. I've been building models for 55+ years, and can't remember the last time I had this much fun! I'm so used to spending weeks/months puttying, sanding, modifying, lighting, painting and decalling my models;The last time I opened up a kit, slapped it together in a day, and painted it in 5 minutes, I was still in my teens. Turned out awesome - what a hoot! Q: during the video, you mentioned you were going to base coat the Cylon with gloss black, then grey, and finally dust it with gunmetal. However, I only saw you use two colors: black and gun metal (which is what I chose)

This is why I subscribed to Tested.

This needs to happen again

Did not realize Aaron was such a geek in real life :) great video. man i miss Battlestar..

Ah, those silences where you hope the other guy is just as comfortable with not talking as you are.

I love watchin' Adam build things. There's something very satisfying about watching him build.

I just found out you can watch youtube videos at .5 speed. 2 drunk dudes building models.

Still actively watching this in 2020... Gets me back into model building every time

Six years later and I still rewatch this episode. Aaron has such comedic energy

So I decided to stay up 2 hours after I'm supposed to go to sleep when I have a test tomorrow. And I watched this ENTIRE thing. I have no regrets.

Good job camera/sound men. They were so good I often forgot there were like six crew guys standing next to Adam and Aaron the whole time.

Perfect example of two friends having fun with things they have done as a child, but not knowing each other . As they meet later on in life , they find out they love model making . This is honestly a fantastic time between friends . They bull shit , throw some " thats what she said " jokes around and its beautiful . I honestly dont iknow how many times ive watched this but i love watching it and i"ll probably watch it 1000x more .

This is a jewel, a treasure to behold... a casual window of two awesome and impressively talented people, building and painting models together in Adam's cave... The enjoyment of conversation, the stories... Its so... incredibly simple!! You see, these moments captured for the world to visualize and be apart, THIS represents the epitome of simplistic experience where long-lasting joy and happiness thrives in our lifetimes! The events that follow a model Cylon raider and painted model of Chief Tyrol, the moments looking at the detail and quality, the memories that surface in those moments are priceless and precious!! I will feel that when you two look a this video, years later; the completed models with dust particles and aging display (albeit master craftsmanship) and say, "mmm, that was a good time together!" I hope you see this Adam, 5 years later from when you posted this!! Thank you from the future during the COVID-19 lockdown, and binge watching your incredible work and craftsmanship "One Day Builds". I ask, and as you share in them often, "can they all be ONE day builds (and not two or three)? :) THANK YOU for sharing this time with one of the most legendary shows of our time with one of its best performing actors, Aaron Douglas. Thank you!

actually, i find watching this really soothing for some reason.

I need a full episode on how to build the Adam Savage custome side cutters. Please and thanks :D

never saw battlestar galactica, never heard of this guy, but still, this is gold

Videos like these are so enjoyable to just have on while you work on something creative yourself! ^^

Ridiculous how relaxing watching this was.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica

Recalling the memories of John and Robin brought tears to my eyes.

Adam, my son who is now 23 years ago turned me on to Myth Busters right about the time the show had just come out....LOVED IT....used to talk about it on the air....retired now (was a morning radio show host for 35+years) and all the while I thought you and Jamie were special EFX guys who now had their own show putting those skills to use in a creative way testing myths...never realized you were such a skilled modeler who had worked at ILM and other notable places as a model maker/designer etc. Dude, your skills are sick!!! I've been building models on and off since my Dad introduced me to the hobby when I was 8 and did it in my spare time which didn't happen often enough....now retired and picking it up again and loved the cosmonaut build...just friggin awesome, loved this one day build with Aron Douglas & the Moebius BSG kits and wish you would do a whole series of one day builds! It could be it's own thing and go a VERY LONG WAY to introducing it to a generation of kids who desperately need to learn how to enjoy this hobby! And with you doing it, they would follow and think it was cool. I, like you, worry that kids don't seem to be enjoying this hobby because of all the other distractions with instant gratification. You brother could go along way to helping to bring it back to a few generations with one day builds complete with your weathering techniques which I also love to do. Let's face it...it's a truly fabulous hobby, and the newer kits are better now, resin kits have become so much better, I'm having more fun building now than I ever have, with LED's, LED Tape, Photo Etch and I really believe there's a lot of people who would feel the same. Just a thought, love the one day builds the most.

Oh god. Alphonse is a Cylon!? I wonder how Ed will react.

At 50 years old, this took me back 35-40 years. I loved the child hood memories with my model planes, cars, train lay-outs, and D&D miniatures ! :)

I could literally listen to Adam & Aaron swap stories for hours

Oh man, now I have to rewatch BSG again...

When Aaron commented on the look of the ship as a throwing weapon I instantly thought of the 'glaive' from Krull. Then Adam mentioned Krull not 30 seconds later. So I would like to see Adam do a one day build of the glaive!!!

Aaron deserves an award for his role as Gordon Rimmer in Dirk Gently. that was one of the most memorable and hilarious characters I've seen all year

Adam is that one over passionate friend that doesn’t realize you might’ve wanted to do some of the work yourself but you actually then don’t care cause it’s just awesome to see him work with all that passion and love

"douglas cold cocked the sound guy!" I hurt myself laughing...

I know how Aaron Douglas felt on seeing the full sized viper mk2, Back in 1978, while I was doing a detex patrol, ( I ws a security officer there), I entered stage 27, or was it stage 28, well I entered and saw the original viper fighter,

I remember first watching this 7 years ago and it reminded me off all the star wars models i built as a kid, and made me really want to get back into modeling. It took a few years to get life to a point i had the facilities to do it, but about a year ago i started collecting and building again, and am now completing my 50th kit in the last year re-watching this. Thanks for the inspiration!

I cracked up hearing the story of Aaron and the sound guy. I was in tears so badly I just teared up even more trying to wipe the tears away.

NO 1 in all segments on Tested - One Day Builds with Adam :)

He looks like Jack Black's weird brother

I don't know why this is so relaxing to me, but the quiet with sounds of spraying, snipping and talk, it just really relaxes me. i'd like more episodes like this.

I love putting on Adam's one day builds while I'm in the workshop. Keeps me entertained and often I learn something new. Loved that quick paintjob on the centurion! Gorgeous result for something so simple.

The BSG remake is now 17 years old. Suddenly I feel ancient

A comment that Adam said rang true,regarding the hobby dying..That is something I wish that he would try to push into the mainstream and even start a show focused on the hobby. Due to the awareness of him it could be taken more seriously by producers and a network to air it on but maybe Tested could start it and once it has enough veiwership then take it to a network...more of the younger generations would be able to see the actual act of building a model and get back to the levels it was 20 to 30 years ago....thanx

Just found this video, my best friend and I would do this, of course there was beer. We would BS and build models for hours. Aug 2017 he passed away, I actually found his body one night. I can't tell you how much I miss him. Enjoy every second of this video. RIP Alec.

I've watched this one way too much already. It's such a nice way to do an "interview" to see how they react. Still hope that tested will be doing more of this. just 2 people.. building something.. while telling stories/doing an "interview" And love to see more of Aaron Douglas together with adam!

Adam's singing was great! Who knew?!

I mean... c'mon! Seriously? Is there anything you can't do, Adam? Even your singing voice is awesome. This is just getting ridiculous.

I never thought I would love watching two guys building models and just hanging out as much as I have watching this. Thank you 💕

I'd love to see Adam and Aaron do this again; These two personalities go so well together

you should check out Gunpla if you're worried about model making becoming a dying art, Adam, it is almost wholly responsible for the world's largest model making boom.

The barbarella space rifle is drying in the background so this must have been shot about 5 months ago

I gotta admit, having this on during my work days and non-audio related video editing is really pleasing

I love watching Adam create things and talk about his past, it's just so exciting to hear and see.

I didn't watch the Battlestar reboot, but this guy makes me wanna watch it.

I could watch this for hours

I absolutely love seeing the boom mic in the picture. It gives this whole B rated vibe to this episode of Tested. Good show fellas!

This pandemic allowed me to re-watch the new BSG twice.. and I'm about to watch it again.. So Say We All.

Hot damn I feel that Adam would love Warhammer 40000.

This is definitely one of the most "Geeky" video that i watched on youtube, some dudes (yeah, i know, they are not "some dudes" they are almost fraking legends [yeah, i use the "frak" expression too] lol) building some model kits, and i watch the whole video from start to finish.... and i enjoy it, greetings from Chile!!!

I never thought I would watch an hour-plus worth of model building and painting, but this just proved me wrong, and I'm happy to be disproven.

Man I love watching this .... Please do it some more.... I'm a 48 year old model maker but stalled building for the last 12 months..would watch videos like this every day and it made me crack up so much witch is rear ....

The sound guy story was so funny

Loved this, i am going to my local hobby shop now and grabbing me some warhammer models

Why is it so entertaining to see two guys having the most random conversations? Is still eludes me but I am thoroughly captivated.

This was simply delightful to watch. All the memories of younger model building days with some pro tips, plus great behind the scenes production stories. All while a couple famous guys let their geek hang out. A great hour of stress relief. :)

"you got to watch out for those left side hoes" made me crack up. Love this series, very Bob Ross like to watch :D

Finally, the mystery of how the heck Adam breathes in his shop when he keeps fuming himself with crazy chemical cans of primer! -22:34: " Do we have a painting spot? - No. We don't. We can turn on the overhead fan here." So there IS a fan somewhere! lol I always cringe when I see them paint/spray with no mask! :D

Love the idea of 'The Chief' being immortal. Like 'The Highlander', but he drinks single malt, which will be his special elixer of immortality. Aaron, you're cool.

"they'll cut out the boring bits", Indeed they did, haha. I loved watching how focused and encouraged they got.

now i really want to know what adam did for bicentennial man

this is so frakin cool

Rest in peace, Robin Williams

Adam, this has got to be one of the coolest episodes so far! My hat's off, sir! Not only did you get to build some BSG models with Aaron Douglas (What could be cooler than that?) in one of the best tinker's caves I have ever seen! You gave us a good glimpse into your passion for Sci-Fi and the icing on the cake was the Serenity Poster hanging on the back of the door! A W E S O M E!!! I did learn some things about my model building technique's (lack of... to be precise). You and the rest of "Tested Team" are doing a great job!

"They'll cut out the boring part." Thats when i noticed its an hour long video.

this is some really nice ASMR type stuff right here x3

Late catch to the 1 Day Build series, but I loved this. Its exactly how my best friend and I geek out when we're in town together. Great laughs and memories. I wish more kids took up the hobby, as it would bring back so much missing from today's phone screen culture. Thanks Gents.

This is probably my favorite video on tested with Adam!!! So cool watching them build and share stories.

Mystery flash man at 36:48

Aaron Douglas is so fucking awesome.

17:55 Adam, you’re the bob ross for nerds. I was having bad anxiety/ panic attacks earlier tonight, and after watching a few one day build videos I’m feeling much better. Watching you have fun and do something you enjoy is so inspirational and calming. You are one of my childhood idols. Keep on rocking dude!

YES! YES! YES! As a LIFE LONG Modeler who is now soon to be 55 I too worry about the FUTURE Of "Modeling" which also speaks to "Practical Effects" in movies and TV dying to "CGI"! I for one will NEVER EVER STOP building models! It's how I get through the long, cold winters of Wisconsin. I LOVE these videos. PLEASE Adam do more on Model Building. You do it SO WELL! :D Thanks.
