    I believe that Isaac Newton wanted to call his new theories about gravity "Crazy Math," however the board of directors and the publicity department decided that Newtonian Physics was catchier. Poor Isaac went to his grave feeling that people were going to get his mathematical theories confused with cookies. And that's exactly what happened. I, like you, prefer the term "Crazy Math."
    Look at those sliders shots and amazing lighting! I love the X-acto knife control - no cut fingers, why? Because you're a pro!

However the kit had a few soldier with similar tiny components and separate limbs to glue together and they loved it. Spent hours gluing all the tiny accessories on and getting things positioned just right.
    I just ordered some of these so we can build them at Christmas. Thanks for the the inspiration!

Even on Saturday I have school and on Sunday I’m so exhausted I can’t do any hobby related thing, but seeing this video you helped me realize I not only have to make time but also keep these creative things in mind(maybe write them down) so when I finish this year(it’s a one year program) I won’t forget all about my hobbies and I’ll be a creative, chill, and all around nice person just like you rather than forgetting them and continuing to be depressed. in your youth, your field of work was different than your passion but you remembered and kept it in your heart and today you can follow your dreams. Thank you. I really look up to you.

    CrafsMan here's a useful fun bit of maths application:
    If you want to find the center of any circle all you need is a square (tool) or any right angle. Just draw two right angle triangles anywhere in the circle making sure all points touch the edge of the circle. Where the two hypotnuses intersect is the center of that circle. Quick, easy, and accurate!

      @TheCrafsMan  2 года назад +2

      I really like the idea behind the plastic solvents that create more of a fused connection. That's probably the best way to go as far as integrity.
      But I also know, knowing me (LOL), I would have had it all over the place even more than the glue, with half the mini mildly melting from the excess. :)
      OH, and "sprue glue"... that's a neat thing to make from the leftover plastic. (Break up the leftover sprues and place in a glass jar of acetone.) Something I learned only recently.

    Stargrave! I've been wanting to play around in a mini sci-fi world but with cyborgs and robits. I have to check it out now.

    I honestly enjoy the painting aspect of miniatures without having to spend time building, which is why I collect A Song of Ice and Fire and Battletech.

    Music at 0:45 is pretty sweet. Love the Speak & Spell action.
