    What’s good about your productions is the easy walk thru..it’s one thing to read about it in a mag, another to see your hand work with motor tool..stuff that’s fine when people hand out together, but I live literally hours from any other modelled..a full day drive..to have to fettle and fiddle alone. Your stuff works..plus while I favour figuremodelling, I still follow all aspects..so your breadth is fun..

      Excellent to hear! This is what I like a heartfelt critique... good or bad it sure helps to keep me motivated for future videos. Thanks again John for your honesty!!

    A lot of modelers talk about converting figures but few really show you in as much detail as your video does, Scott. Appreciate your skill, hard work and time.

    • @SmallSoldier

      Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking time out to watch. I think maybe others avoid it because it's hard to keep such detail in the camera without fading off the frame... which I'm still learning to do. Also not many modellers, I find anyway, are comfortable with figure work. It is one of the hardest things to do as you really need to know human anatomy to do it right. Thanks again, Scott

    Nice detailing. I especially liked the addition of the scarf. I likely would have overlooked that. Looking forward to seeing this painted!

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  5 лет назад

      Thank you. The scarf was there before but because I changed the position of the head it needed re-sculpting. Thanks for your comment I really appreciate the feedback!👊🏻👊🏻

    Like the show and tell regarding the pinning and drilling out for hands/feet. Also your black nitryl gloves, helps to focus on the plastic and putty. Like the steps involved for "seating" a figure onto a saddle, technique could be used for seating a driver into an auto project. Cheers

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  5 лет назад

      Thanks, Gordon. Yes, this technique will work for anything as far as getting a good fit is concerned. So many models are let down by driver or rider figures that look stiff and unnatural, like mannequins in a storefront window. Glad it was helpful. Cheers!

    I wish you showed a side by side comparison of before and after of the figure . I would great to see the difference , but there is always next one. I like your technics though .

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  5 лет назад

      Thanks, Bruce. Yeah, I should have done the full before and after in hindsight. I really appreciate feedback like this as it helps me create better content for my subscribers and that's the most important thing to me. Cheers!

  • @hl1796
    @hl1796 5 лет назад +1

    i hope you will got a video talk about heavy modify part like hip or shoulder to change the pose of the figure into something more natural, , i only read about it lightly mention in Shep Paine "how to build diorama", but read about it and see it in action is really different,

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  5 лет назад

      Yes I have plans for a video like that in the not to distant future. I have a scratch built figure that I’ve been working for a while now and he’ll be the subject of one of my videos as well. Thanks for the suggestion it will get done and is on my long list of ideas. Cheers!

    • @hl1796
      @hl1796 5 лет назад +2

      @@SmallSoldier thank you, i looking forward to see it, some change in the joint like elbow, kneel, spin lean foward or backward is easy to imagine how to do that. But some other pose, for example, lean on a wall, i really unable to image how to modify the shoulder to make it slightly rise, same with the hip,

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  5 лет назад +1

      Yes, this is in the plans this year. I'm hoping to get to a demo like that soon. Thanks for your valued input and great suggestion. If you have any other requests I'm all ears as I put these down in my "little black book" of ideas. Cheers, Scott
