  I can&apos;t be the only one that finds it oddly reassuring that even Adam, with all his years of experience, still has those moments of nervousness when making something, a &apos;I could screw this up&apos; moment.

  It&apos;s fascinating how most hour long videos on YouTube I&apos;m like, &quot;I don&apos;t want to waste time on that&quot;, but with a One Day Build I just want it to go on for 5 hours. Loving everything you guys do!

  ‪”That’s what our past is like, it’s strewn with the detritus of our failures... and hopeful successes‬.” <br><br>That’s a great quote.

  One Day Builds with Adam are like Bob Ross&apos; programs. But with a little more excitement and less whispering hahahaha. Thank you, Adam. I really enjoy watching you build stuff and teach me things.

  You can tell the person who made the visors is a prop maker because they made two of everything

  Adam standing in the middle of his shop, in jeans and the Savage/NASA shirt, wearing that helmet, would make an excellent magazine cover shot. 😂 &nbsp;(Or the cover of a book about making replica spacesuits?! HINT HINT.)

That’s because no matter how carefully you paint - you will have overspray...”<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Td-YSEEKEM&amp;t=2907">48:27</a> “that’s awesome, gonna hit this little bit”

  Hi Adam,<br>A tip for everyone when mixing paints - <br>Get a good supply of syringes from the drug store. &nbsp;Then you can mix exacting amounts of your colors. <br>This is also a lot cleaner &amp; does not leave paints dribbling down the outside of containers. <br><br>If you make records of the quantities as you go it will be a lot easier to re-make that particular color again in the future. &nbsp;Otherwise it is a bugger to try and match them again.<br><br>Make more than you need and keep the leftovers in another container. &nbsp;This will help for touch-ups later on or to help color match a new batch of paint / lacquer.<br>When spraying, get a card or scrap sheet to fire a test on first. &nbsp;This will help to get your &quot;Spray Fan&quot; and &quot;Flow Volume&quot; correct before attacking your new-to-be loved project.
