Yes - that's when "Crazy Glue" came out- I can clearly remember the guy who glued himself (well his hardhat) to the undersurface of that I-beam and was hanging to it! They surely must have held parts in place with some masking tape no? Great interview and Lorne seems so happy to talk about his monumental contribution to Star Wars history!I am always amazed when I hear the story about how they initially were building the miniatures for Star Wars using 5-minute epoxy…with the monumental “greeblie work” they were doing on every miniature, I can only imagine what a game changer it was to suddenly be introduced to super glue.

I remember, about 20 years ago, it seemed like on the RPF there were quite a few members that would only share their knowledge or techniques with certain people. That seems to have abated. We all benefit from each other’s experience.Not only Adam learned so much from other great artists and craftsmen at ILM, but I've learned a lot from Adam's videos along the years also.
Sharing great knowledge has no price
He calls it 'gate-keeping', when knowledge should be shared.I remember, about 20 years ago, it seemed like on the RPF there were quite a few members that would only share their knowledge or techniques with certain people. That seems to have abated. We all benefit from each other’s experience.
Didn’t Adam have a quote about that? Something along the lines of your technique does not make you interesting?
I’ve heard that one but there was another. Something like “Your technique does not make you interesting.”He calls it 'gate-keeping', when knowledge should be shared.
I found the quote I was thinking of:He calls it 'gate-keeping', when knowledge should be shared.
Only in a passing mention. Sorry.Does Lorne discuss the Death Star?
