We partnered with Gearbox Publishing for the launch of Homeworld 3! Adam Savage invites former ILM colleague Fon Davis to the workshop to build a 20-inch model of the Hiigaran Interceptor using materials Adam inherited from the old ILM model shop and their combined decades of modelmaking experience.

More of this please, I could watch you and Fon build models all day long especially when they end up looking like this. The Frontier from Starfield just pips it of course but this is my second favourite model from a game that you have built, Homeworld rocks!!
-
I got my start model making by assembling paper models from the original Homeworld 1 and 2, after school while watching mythbusters. This feels like coming full circle in a way.
-
You can see that these two spent a lot of time together and that they are true professionals. Although they have two different ways to get the paneling done, they know that they can rely on each other to get it done on time. The builds are super valuable. Watching them I am almost transported back in time. And watching them both at ILM working on a movie prop!
-
Love to see you and Fon together again!
-
As someone who’s done large 3D models for conventions and a museum under a time-crunch, it’s very humbling (yet enjoyable) to watch two old pros get it done. I’ll echo what others have said, “more of this, please!”
-
FIG Backer and Homeworld Fan here! Love to see this! Been 20+ years waiting for HW3. Cool to see some big names appreciating the franchise.
-
I really enjoyed watching this. So fun to see different techniques collide and work together for a final product. Beautiful job gentlemen and lets not forget the videographers and editors, excellent job! Applause for everyone on the team.
-
I love love LOVE that Adam is excited to learn/try salt chipping. I am in total awe of their focus and ease and familiarity with the entire visualization/build/ paint process. The uber-nerd conversation about vinyl masks and friskets was squeeing-flapping-tastic! ILM was my childhood dream job. Today, I just build for me and for fun.
-
The Vac-U-Form machine was made by Ron Charles & Associates (RC Vac-U-Form) in Wilmette, Illinois (Chicago area), circa 1988 to 1991. I recently inherited the 8 x 11 size machine from my old employer, a St. Louis area professional model shop that just closed. That machine was $450 new in January 1990.
-
Finally more of my favorite content - Adam building space ships! Its really cool to see the changes 3d printing brings to the process compared to the older ship model builds
-
I’ve 3D printed a negative vaccume forming mold in ABS complete with vent lines, bolt off undercuts, and a tube cooling passage for compressed air to get the extra detail and surface greebles. The porous qualities of FDM make it a fantastic vaccume forming mold process. FYI, don’t use PLA for this, the hot plastic sheet will destroy the mold details almost instantly. Use ABS or PETG to get repeated parts
-
This is so inspiring! I did not realize one can use a 3d print base and just add plasticard for paneling! I work at a packaging making plant and I can take scrap home. PVC, PET, PETG, HIPS and others of varying thicknesses. Thank you, Adam and the rest of the Tested crew for showing me a new way to make models!

homeworld ships have always been exeptinaly designed from one to three (and the Cataclisum expansion of 1) every single ship is somebody's favorite starship
-
He may be an Engineer, but it's moments like this that prove that Adam Savage is an ARTIST! That's why Math, Science, and The Arts are so vital to have together!
-
I am always amazed when you all talk about a technique I have been using for a long time for my WWII models and I just assume you would know it. The Salt weathering has been a staple of WWII and historical models for a long time. I am glad to see you discover something I just assumed you knew. <3
-
Fun build. The shop is looking good. Cool to see the legacy ILM - 32Ten parts cabinets in good use.
-
I am lucky enough to be Facebook friends with Fon. He talks about his ILM work pretty frequently, and it's great to see what he is doing now. I can't wait until the next NDA is up!
-
Could not possibly care any less about the game, however I could watch Adam build models all day. And Fon Davis? Come on, this is golden.
-
Homeworld designs are like the perfect synthesis of Chris Foss-style coloration and patterning with Star Wars-style functional-feeling mechanical design. Seeing that being built and them gushing about panel notches and putting little details in the gaps is great. I do 3D models and all this stuff makes me go "Yes! I know! These people speak my language!"
