And keeping watch during the build is Adam's new Mandalorian helmet replica, built off scans of the original prop. Plus, in a first for Adam, he's going to take on this build without knolling the pieces! Shocking!

Adam's latest long-term project comes to fruition in the form of the Good Samaritan sidearm--Hellboy's iconic sidearm from the films. It's taken all of his machining skills and more to scratch build this revolver prop from chunks of aluminum, and Adam has documented the journey in this new series of One Day Builds. In this first part, Adam tackles the oversized barrel and top rail. Thankfully, Adam has some great reference material and sources. Let's get started!

As Adam nears the finish for his build of his scratch-built Hellboy Samaritan prop replica, he turns to the finer details of the grip and the bronze hammer. Along the way, there are decisions about the materials used that allow Adam to contribute to the mythology behind the prop, based on his interpretation of the reference sources. Adam also shows a big mistake he made in this build, and what it took to fix it. The Samaritan is getting close to completion!

Adam has been showing off his collection of drafting tools, including angle finders and circle drawing templates. It made him realize he needed a better sorting and storage solution to keep these tools in good condition and still be easily accessible when he needed them. Today's build addresses that: a workbench-mounted flat drawer that organizes and knolls out these beautiful tools. And of course, it's going to be made out of hot glued foamcore!

With Adam's replica of the Hellboy Samaritan prop mostly completed, Adam turns his attention to replicating the large bullet props that would go in the chamber. It's a machining exercise that calls upon the use of a custom profile tool to shape the aluminum, and then pair with a brass casing--all made on the lathe. As a finishing touch, Adam sends his pieces to collaborator Victor Broadley, who uses an amazing vintage toolmaker's mill to etch the proper labeling to match these props in the Hellboy universe!
