    Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Adam speed builds the beautiful LEGO lunar lander set that was developed in cooperation with NASA! From moon craters to laser reflector panels, Adam is super impressed by the detail infused in this model. Now a question which shelf does it belong on: with space stuff or LEGO builds?

    I am all for knolling Lego, but you have to go in phases with the newest sets. They label the bags in the order they are needed, so knolling everything at once actually might make the process longer.

    • @tzxazrael
      @tzxazrael 5 років тому +14

      probably not. i mean if it takes X,Y,Z,A,B,C to knoll each bag individually, it probably takes X +Y +Z +A +B +C to knoll them all at once. the real drawbacks to knolling it all at once are...
      1; all the time is front-loaded, so while the total time is the same, it FEELS a lot longer until you can start building.. and
      2; especially for larger and more complicated sets, you will need a LOT more space to knoll it all out in (lol i was starting to wonder if Adam was going to run out of pieces or table first!)

      @@tzxazrael to a certain degree Lego is a "however you feel like" type of project. But when they provide all of the parts for a certain stage of the build in a single bag it is kinda forcing your hand. If you watch the timelapse, Adam is mostly working left to right. Not because he planned it that way, but because he knolled stage 1 of the build on the left side of the table.
      I am not concerned about the knolling time, but the efficiency. Since stages 1 and 2 do not have any overlap and won't be needed at the same time, it is kinda similar to knolling the Lego set you are building with the foreign coins collection you have.

    It seems like you should do the knolling thing bag by bag, since they pre-sort them into stages of the build now... I think the mega-knolling might actually impede your build by un-grouping things that are going to be needed together...

    • @ronwingrove683
      @ronwingrove683 5 років тому +8

      I was actually thinking that myself. I didn't realise it had a name until Adam did a video on it, but I've been helping my girls build their Lego kits for years, and we knoll (is that the right word?) bag-by-bag. The bags are numbered, and match up with the instructions and order of build. Not only is unbagging and sorting everything in one block a massive time-sink but, as you say, it's also counterproductive.

    • @tzxazrael
      @tzxazrael 5 років тому +2

      @@ronwingrove683 i think that's a false assumption. it probably takes about the same amount of time to knoll all of it at once as it does to knoll each bag individually. it just FEELS a lot longer, because you spend all of that time in one front-loaded block, instead of stopping in various spots to switch to building.
      i think the only real factor between fully knolling the kit, or knolling it bag-by-bag is an issue of how much surface area you have to knoll in, compared to the size and complexity of the kit. eg; i think even Adam would have to admit that knolling something like an entire Star Wars Star Destroyer kit would just require too much surface area for too long.

    • @TheGreg9722
      @TheGreg9722 5 років тому +11

      Except with the newer kits, the bags are numbered so that the first stage of the build requires the first bag, and so on. Knolling all the bags together means that you no longer have this organization, so on average it takes longer to hunt down a piece, making the build time longer. Not that I have an issue with people knolling, they’re free to do what they want and it does look nice.

    • @limealemur
      @limealemur 5 років тому +2

      true, but I’m sure Adam is fully aware of this and he knolls the packages from left to right so they’re still organized by bag. Probably still more efficient to do it one bag at a time but I doubt he’s searching the whole pile each time he’s looking for a piece. He knows where to look.

    • @TheGreg9722

    And I noticed that if there are sub-packets (little bags within a numbered bag) generally a part from said sub-packet is required on page one.

On "Space projects" at EMI, Pinewood and Shepperton for 1:1 scale stuff we used (back in the day) gold coated Mylar tape from 3M. For a scale model like what Adam Savage is going on about having a convincing looking "Crinkle" at scale could be key plus problems with metamerism with a film/camera test. I gotta admit that a "Rollo" wrapper has a particular deep coppery gold color which hard to achieve any other way apart from gold leaf alloyed with copper. I wonder how much Cadbury's would have charged for a production roll of the Rollo wrapper paper, probably many thousands of pounds/ dollars. It probably comes on a roll 16 ft wide by 3 feet tall and costs $15K ;-) x 3 for "Film company" that's nearly $50K of too much Rollo wrappers + shipping to the USA from the UK.

Hopefully next time he'll get to take advantage of that, it makes things so much easier.

    Adam! I've recently put together a number of large lego builds and I found it much faster to only open the bag (and knoll) the instructions call for instead of opening all the bags at once. That way it's faster to find the piece you are looking for since you are looking through a smaller number of pieces. I noticed you opened all the bags at the beginning. Did you keep the pieces of each bag near each other or just keep the colors and sizes together (but mixed with other bags)?

    I had a blast building mine... although it's really a bit weird to build complex items and systems that, once done, are encapsulated, never to be seen again (the fuel and oxidizer tanks are one example). It's fun to follow along in the build book without ever reading ahead - you often wonder what you are building at first, and as it starts to make sense, you get the satisfaction of making it come together. This model is a little tougher than the Saturn 5 in some respects, but there are portions of the Saturn 5 build that remain somewhat unstable for a while, until subassemblies are attached.
    Now all I have to do is figure out how the heck I got back into Legos at 57!!!
