Wonderful figure & history lesson, I really enjoy these segments you folks are doing & you are right personal history & National history can be ambiguous at best it’s what we can piece together & take from it that is important. These two last figures are so captivating in both collecting & historical importance in our countries history that is almost forgotten in today’s society thank you both for what you do I am always amazed by your work & learning something new with each episode I hope you & hubby have a wonderful Thursday ❤❤
Thank you Eric. I think I enjoy learning about the people almost as much as making them. If I can give someone a name, I love it. I feel bad for Charles Floyd. He was the youngest male of the group and to die of the after effects of a ruptured appendix . . . I just can't imagine. Historical writers though note that even if he had been surrounded by a group of physicians, they didn't know what to do back then. That is so very sad. You have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend with your wife!!! 🤗🤗❤️🤗🤗
She looks beautiful. I love that head sculpt. Nice job on the outfit too 👍 I can not count how many times one of my outfits have ended up with some sort of gap some where LOL! This is what I would have called a «prototype», and this is also one of the reasons why I use my worn out t-shirts when I start making a outfit. I usually use gray or white shirts, because those I can draw lines and make «notes» on. Once I have figured out what ever «problems» a design has, then I move on to using the actual materials. Most of the time I make massive improvements on a design from the prototype to the final product, because you never really see how the final product will look like until it is on the figure. Now as you van see where the gaps are, how the outfit is potentially restricting any movements and so on, you can make the changes on a second attempt on it.
You have SO much more patience than me. LOLOL I just hope it looks good enough on the first try. Then again, you no doubt sew better than me too. My life line is super glue. Gosh. My mother was so good with sewing. She could make a dress without a patten. I do not take after her sadly. Regardless, I was happy with the outcome. Sacagawea must have been a strong willed young lady. She had to be to have survived being around so many men. 🤗🤗❤️🤗🤗
@@UndergroundActionFigures Well, superglue works too LOL! If it wasn’t for this hobby I would never have touched a thread and needle LOL. I can make two pieces of fabrics stick together, but usually it looks terrible on close inspection LOL. Does my seams look straight and even? Not by a long shot. It looks like the sewing is done by a drunk tailor to be quite honest, so don’t ask me to make a wedding dress LOL! Women back in the old days had to put up with a lot of crap, I think. The gentleman concept wasn’t very common those days, as most men was probably a-holes just like a lot of men are today. The difference between back then and today is that women have more rights and are more protected by the laws (in most countries anyway). Even in todays world it seams like women are some sort of property instead of humans with feelings and emotions. Back in the old days men thought that they could do what ever they wanted to the women, and a womans opinion carried no weight what so ever. I still see signs of that even today. Some women in todays world are lucky though, because there are actually some men out there that have come to their freakin’ senses and learned to respect women and treats them right! So thats a most welcome progress.
