I was in a TV competition show where I was given a bunch of household crap and told to build model(s) out of it in three hours. It gave me a whole new respect to speed modelling.
In the past two decades, there are a bunch of stuff I envied Adam for. But this now takes one of the top spots But what makes this video so extra valuable, and I am thankful for it, is Adam looking at the job of a trade colleague, as he himself has done it too. He is speaking and expertly looking through the eyes of somebody who can see what has been done and how and why. Great video to share with us.
I love the mastery of the art on display here. Imagine just having a drawer full of random crap - I saw bits of wire, washers, 1/4” hose fittings, reinforced plastic pipe, juice box bendy straws, legos … imagine sticking all that together to form a unique and unforgettable alien spacecraft.
Ever item shared from the collection has been fascinating. Seeing them up close and being able to stop and stare at lovely details has been a treat, making my day. I hope there are more to come. This is an impressive gathering. Thank you so much for sharing.
felt almost like Adam was the one getting interviewed here... But I'm not complaining at all. Man, the kit-bashing maelstorm going on in that model... I love it!
It's amazing that without a closer look, it seems so bespoke and articulately made. Just shows the immense talent of the people behind it are. I still can't imagine someone creating this out of time constraint and kit bashing, it just looks so perfect to me.
My favorite movie of all time! So fascinating to see the concept idea that they had before they built the final piece. It kind of gives me copper-ish, steampunk vibes but in a futuristic setting. Love it!
Moment's like 5:11 in this video are amusing, where Brandon has to fill in some "dead air" moments because Adam is just a little lost in the prop. A different kind of artistry!
I'm loving the expert look into these pieces. I can't afford to collect, let alone care for and display these kinds of things, but I have an appreciation for those who do.
It's a masterpiece, not because of the absolute quality or beauty of it but rather because it shows the insane capability of someone working with limited time and/or means.
I feel sorry for people who were old enough to see this movie in the theater in 1997. Its so good on so many levels and seeing that intro with the Mondoshawan on the big screen was such a big deal.
love it, I love this film , brilliant and the gestures in this are like an artists loose brush stroke, we should learn from this , dont sweat the details . Loving the garden hoses and hose connections
@5:35 "Who knows what kind of kids toys those are" Those sure look like the yellow inner toy containers/shells from the Kinder Surprise Eggs. (The older version with the two separate halves, not the later version with the hinge.)
@@AmazingFrenchman yeah,they kinda dumbed it down quite a lot,huh? Remember when they used to sell hand painted figurines as well? And assemblable mini-kits were actually a little more complex(not too much though,but!)-making kids more engaged in the assembly process, so thus they were kinda forced to use their hands and brains more elaboratley than putting just two halfs or just two components together?-cause that's what basically they do now with those...
Kinder Surprise egg-containers! I wish my grandma was still alive,so I could show her the spaceship from the movie(I guess she's seen the movie a couple times in tv when she was alive though-), and this video too as a comparison, because she made so many diy-tinkered toys from household materials, like the forementioned Kinder-eggs! She used them a lot for so many things! I instantly recognized them when I saw this maquette-model from closeup! :D This kinda confirms my pride towards her creativity even more! I would've never thought that they've used materials and techniques like this for so many grand movies!
I can also see a certain kind of plastic cork from french cidre bottles in there. I've been collection a lot of these back in those days just in case I would one day need them for detailing a model. Well, the 5th element proves, I was not too crazy by doing this, after all. :-D Thank you for showing this gem to us, Adam! :-)
Thank you Adam for giving me the inspiration to change my life everything you have done in your videos has played a big part in my life I was in a dark place for a long time until I started watching your videos it inspired me to start making and testing different objects and it has helped me in a unbelievable way that suffer from PTSD from war and I have never found anything to help me in the ways your videos have and I hope the videos that you make inspire other people and help them get out of a dark place they may be in I deeply appreciate all the content you make and whether you realize it or not I think you've helped more people than just myself you've made a big impact in my life thank you and thank you for saving mine.
No way, I'm currently watching the fifth element and I thought I'd check to see if anyone made any models of the ships from the movie, and this is a new post 👍
It'll be interesting to see which of these lots we'll see poking out of corners of the Cave in future videos lol. Adam's joy in these auction vids is pretty infectious.
This video reminded me of how when my mom inherited my grandmother's very plain looking china cabinet, she cut out the bottoms of egg cartons, painted them black, put them on a strip of double-sided tape, added it as a border along the top of the cabinet and used some gold rub and buff on it. The result was it looked like the cabinet had some fancy molding on it. You would never guess it was the bottoms of egg cartons!
Those conical "nozzles" on the "engines" remind me of some disposable vacuum-formed styrene coffee cups my parents had that would snap fit into a Bakelite (or similar hard plastic) handle unit. I think they dated from the '60s, though they could well have still been made into the '90s (or the model shop had a stock of the liners).
Super surprised that Adam didn't spot the entire AT-AT leg that's stuck on there, but laughing at the ceramic tile spacers stuck on the kinder egg pods.
The prop story guy has a very different talking style with Adam than he does with Norm. I like it, he almost acts like he's the host asking questions of Adam about the process of building things like this.
I have always heard it as MondoSHIwan .. The Fifth Element is one of those movies that I will always consider watching when I see it in the schedule -- no matter where it is in progress
Someone needs to create a prop/model museum, then record a holographic Adam Savage as the virtual tour guide so we have him preserved for future generations.
I have such an appreciation for the ART of a good kit-bash. Just having the vision to go "yeah take this mcdonalds straw, stuff it in a hex nut, and we got a steam pipe!" stuff like that.
There's a Starfleet ship in Star Trek TNG that literally has highlighters glued onto the surface of the saucer, functioning as munitions pods. One of the Borg Cubes is built out of layer after layer after layer of the frames leftover from model kits after you remove the pieces. Kit-bashing is just incredible to see when it's done right.
Definitely one of a kind, a movie that leaves you hungry for more of its ilk and we never got any.. so we never got sick of them. which let's face it, we could have.
Once again reminded of the Klingon battle cruiser MCM from Star Trek the Motion Picture. Looks like it flew through massive dust clouds and it all stuck. There are tiny isolated rust spots.
I think the "MacGuyver" quality of that model makes it even more badass. "Okay, you have to build something using only a garbage can, some duct tape, and ten minutes." "Can I use what's inside the garbage can?" "Yes. "DONE!"
I wonder if perhaps some of that was deliberate, because they wanted that 'used future' aspect. Like I know in that one Jim Henson Hour special _Monster Maker,_ the Ultragorgon was deliberately rushed so it would look unfinished, which it was meant to be in the plot.
It’s what’s beautiful about film, especially physical effects. It shows the kind of work that goes into the art, and it’s fascinating to see up close. Like in prehistoric times when a caveman would get gored by a mammoth and the other cavemen could see his organs and think “so that’s how a caveman works inside.”
There's something cool and almost confrontational about it artistically. It is this alien and strange heap of different parts that has this oddly familiar humanity to it. Like something out of a used up Moebius universe, or Giger painting, confronting us about human carelessness leading us to some strange disturbing future.
during switching i heard "the green looks greener" :) - It reminds me a children video called "Die geheime Tür" with puppets playing. There also a song where they are singing "Die Wiese ist so wiesig.. Die Sonne ist so sonnig.."
I'm really happy to have seen this, The Fifth Element was a big movie for me, still watch it... there is just no substitute for real props over all this cgi stuff, now granted there was allot o cgi in this movie, but it was tasteful and not distracting from the story but helped highlight and tell the story. Much love for the camp of real props... also gives the actors something to play with and that spontaneity of a random real made thing in my world is irreplaceable. Thank you for making a video about this. When I seen the ship, I gasped aloud and made my loving partner click it... there where mistakes but we got here tehe Keep up the good fight!
A gorgeous model. Would love to see the bigger filming miniature. The design work on Fifth Element was amazing. I'd put it up there with the same level of care and attention to detail as Blade Runner. Only we got to see it all in daylight! Dallas's apartment was a little vision of the future. And very funny too. The part where the mugger tries to hold up Dallas with a photo of the corridor stuck to his head still makes me laugh!
I was on stage when they were doing most of the filming for the Fifth Element so I saw a lot of the background stuff as well it's pretty cool seeing all that background stuff
@@Rmicic I was a guest of one of The Carpenters that worked on the sets I have some photographs of me on a few the sets on my Facebook profile a little bit of trivia the main scene you see him fighting the bad guys on the ship with the big room and pool table size that was situated right above the giant water pool that was used for one of the scenes and James Bond film it's the double 007 stage I have a picture of outside that says standing below the sign it was quite an experience as I got to see things before they were coming back I also got to walk around the room where was being reincarnated Reborn or whatever it's called I got to see the whole tube and chamber where she appears inside of it to see you inside the room where he sleeps especially the fridge that pulls up and down the reveals the shower if it's not mentioned already the actual doorbells a functioning camera it does actually work and it's only his door that actually goes into a room all the rest are fake they just go to a small platform behind you could even see the giant green screen at window play some of the filming it's called Pinewood Studios in London so there was a lot more films being filmed there other than Fifth Element

Hi Adam, "5th Element"
My all time favorite movie as a kid it got me into syfi! To bad you couldn't 3d scan it so it could be printed i would have that on my shelf!!
@@jphill529 yeah 5th Element such a cool SciFi Universe, a sequel would be nice
Ohhhhhhhhh so this is what the videos about lol
I was in a TV competition show where I was given a bunch of household crap and told to build model(s) out of it in three hours. It gave me a whole new respect to speed modelling.
I could watch these Prop Store videos forever. More! MORE!
I love crunchy model making. One of my favorite things to do when I watch a movie is try to recognize what props were made from.
In the past two decades, there are a bunch of stuff I envied Adam for.
But this now takes one of the top spots
But what makes this video so extra valuable, and I am thankful for it, is Adam looking at the job of a trade colleague, as he himself has done it too.
He is speaking and expertly looking through the eyes of somebody who can see what has been done and how and why.
Great video to share with us.
I love the mastery of the art on display here. Imagine just having a drawer full of random crap - I saw bits of wire, washers, 1/4” hose fittings, reinforced plastic pipe, juice box bendy straws, legos … imagine sticking all that together to form a unique and unforgettable alien spacecraft.
The 5th Element is one of those few films I can watch over and over.
It is endlessly entertaining, I agree totally
Really cool , I’m digging the Sentry robot head from “The Black Hole” on the self ... that and a Maximilian replica would be awesome 😎
Maxillian and his "tear you to shreds with my rotating finger blades."
By far one of my favorite films. I cannot covey how excited I was to watch this. Good on ya.
That thing can just stand on its own artistic merit as a sculpture.
Such an under rated movie.. I thought it was deserving of sequels.. great video Adam.
Ever item shared from the collection has been fascinating. Seeing them up close and being able to stop and stare at lovely details has been a treat, making my day. I hope there are more to come. This is an impressive gathering. Thank you so much for sharing.
felt almost like Adam was the one getting interviewed here... But I'm not complaining at all.
Man, the kit-bashing maelstorm going on in that model... I love it!
It's amazing that without a closer look, it seems so bespoke and articulately made. Just shows the immense talent of the people behind it are. I still can't imagine someone creating this out of time constraint and kit bashing, it just looks so perfect to me.
My favorite movie of all time! So fascinating to see the concept idea that they had before they built the final piece. It kind of gives me copper-ish, steampunk vibes but in a futuristic setting. Love it!
This series has been SUCH a treat. Thank you to the Tested team and the Prop Store!!
love the old webco motorcycle rocker box cap at 1:39
Moment's like 5:11 in this video are amusing, where Brandon has to fill in some "dead air" moments because Adam is just a little lost in the prop. A different kind of artistry!
I'm loving the expert look into these pieces. I can't afford to collect, let alone care for and display these kinds of things, but I have an appreciation for those who do.
The "X"s are tile spacers
It's a masterpiece, not because of the absolute quality or beauty of it but rather because it shows the insane capability of someone working with limited time and/or means.
I adored the design of the Mondoshawan technology... It was just so... alien, different...
I forget how glorious the details in the 5th Element were... time for a rewatch!
I feel sorry for people who were old enough to see this movie in the theater in 1997. Its so good on so many levels and seeing that intro with the Mondoshawan on the big screen was such a big deal.
I love hearing Adam go into detail about how these models are made, how they were used, and the experiences of the makers in their creation.
The Fifth Element is such a beautiful film.
Like note books full of unfinished sketches and study’s , I love crunchiness
love it, I love this film , brilliant and the gestures in this are like an artists loose brush stroke, we should learn from this , dont sweat the details . Loving the garden hoses and hose connections

5th Element is one on my all time favorite movies!
Rusted copper washes are some of my favorite to do as well.

PTSD sounds terrible. How are you doing now? Happy holidays!
No way, I'm currently watching the fifth element and I thought I'd check to see if anyone made any models of the ships from the movie, and this is a new post 👍
These would be awesome filmed in VR so the public can get really up close and study these amazing props!
incredible, I love things like this that are.. whatever the opposite of 'functional' is. but at the same time, perfect for its function.
@2:47 The "antenna" is a blaster from an T-47 Snowspeeder MPC kit!
Those unknown toy bits are kinder-surprise capsules.
What I love about model making 156 - by Adam Savage...
It would be interesting to see how Adam would approach model making of this much detail.
It'll be interesting to see which of these lots we'll see poking out of corners of the Cave in future videos lol. Adam's joy in these auction vids is pretty infectious.

Or the full size Super Battledroid
@@Falleen01 genuinely can't see that!
@@Falleen01 this model was built 1995-96 well before battle droids
He means on the wall behind, not on the model
@@Ciderwinder ahhhhhh! At .032? According to the catalogue that's a HammerTech Air Assault Drone from Iron Man 2. Pretty cool piece.
Holy crap. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

Best damn film ever made
Every scene was absolutely dripping with style
Favorite movie ever aesthetically, by far.
Nah
No necessarily the best Movie ever made, but it's definitely one of the most fun and a favourite of mine.
Definitely one of a kind, a movie that leaves you hungry for more of its ilk and we never got any.. so we never got sick of them. which let's face it, we could have.
If I did that model it would be my best work and I would be so proud of it. great looking prop!!
Seeing this ship and the aliens in it really got my brain going when I first saw the movie.
Would love to see the Mondoshawans themselves. What a suit/prop/puppet !
"Aziz, light!",."Multipass", "Big bada-boom" and "Chicken, gooood". Nuff said :D
2:43 Kinder Egg and Gashapon capsules glued together.
Once again reminded of the Klingon battle cruiser MCM from Star Trek the Motion Picture. Looks like it flew through massive dust clouds and it all stuck. There are tiny isolated rust spots.
This had a very Antique Roadshow feel to it.
I think the "MacGuyver" quality of that model makes it even more badass. "Okay, you have to build something using only a garbage can, some duct tape, and ten minutes." "Can I use what's inside the garbage can?" "Yes. "DONE!"

I just watched The Fifth Element for the 10th time. I love this movie and this prop is beautiful!
Right?!
Oh damn, Adam is turning into Jamie ❤️
The Disney black hole, helmet so cool
It’s what’s beautiful about film, especially physical effects. It shows the kind of work that goes into the art, and it’s fascinating to see up close. Like in prehistoric times when a caveman would get gored by a mammoth and the other cavemen could see his organs and think “so that’s how a caveman works inside.”
It just seems they have everything I want in this auction 😆 I can't afford it but I can dream.
Agreed. I would love to have this, but knew I wouldn’t be able to afford it. Tho I’m surprised it “only” went for $7K.
Looks great through waving fingers.
Aziz! Light!
This caught my eye when checking out catalog. So neat to see it up close, concept models always have so many interesting bits.
Love it! noticed the Snowspeeder blaster near the top!
I came to the realization not too long ago that Fifth Element is my favorite all time movie.
Good model.
Better than, what I saw in the movie.
The ship went from a steampunk look to a biopunk look.
We need to bring back biopunk to cinema.
There's something cool and almost confrontational about it artistically. It is this alien and strange heap of different parts that has this oddly familiar humanity to it.

You can buy verdigris paint. It actually is made up of copper that you treat with agent that "rusts" it. An iron one as well.

Oh my ! That’s beautiful!
Spotted the main guns from a snow spreader model on the top
Im so so glad this survived and didnt get thrown in the skip and set on fire by the director like all of the other props etc.
As Ian Foster pointed out already, those Crosses aren't from packaging, they are wall tile spacers - for evenly spacing and supporting wall tiles.
Awesome model
I hope you will do a follow up episode giving the final winning bids for each of the items you have featured.
Think the guy who built this was a plumber, carpenter and electrician, can see so many references to those trades in this model
Wow, I love this model, as much as I love Fifth element!
I could watch watch these forever. That v for vendetta mask keeps grabbing my attention
I was on stage when they were doing most of the filming for the Fifth Element so I saw a lot of the background stuff as well it's pretty cool seeing all that background stuff
Wow, that sounds like a great experience! Care to share any interesting tidbit from the filming? I presume you worked on stage?

I see Eddie Valiants cartoon six shooter in the background. I WANT IT
"who knows what kinda kids toys there are?" kinder surprise egg with a small extra dome on the bottom
Yeah, I instantly recognized them!
God I just commented that too!
Being Canadian I grew up with these! Well done sir, good eye!
5:31 "Who knows what kind of kid's toys these are..."
These are Kinder Surprise toy containers!! No wonder you didn't recognize them since they are banned in US :D
The oval containers are "Kinder Eggs" or the Kinder Surprise container inside the Kinder eggs !
Those oval pods are the containers from inside a kinder egg. I've used loads of those myself
It’s not crappy it’s a piece of art
I would love to kitbash a ship together just for fun but I don't have a huge collection of spare parts. Obviously some things can be just found like drinking straws or zip ties but you still have to gather them. I wonder if there's a way to buy model kits really cheap.
This is one of the reasons I like to watch The Crafsman on UA-cam.
@ 1:55 AT-AT leg as a greeble!
Loved that movie
I want that Eddie Valiant cartoon six-shooter behind them.
Cool, Mandoshowan
4:32 those are kinder surprise eggs! :D
2:46 bendy straws!
I honestly thought this would of been CGI damn thats cool
