You have achieved critical mass. TP paint them, your should probably use a spray paint that holds to plastic. It will apply an even enough coat that hides the layers, but doesn't smother the details on the soldiers.
@@NimProductions Yeah, but just buy some. Any tool shop or whatever seems them, once you have a can life becomes so much easier. You will be like "Hey, this thing is pretty great! Why didn't i do it sooner? That's Great!"
Everyone in my school knows the fact that I have army men and they say, "bruh this is the kid with his little soldiers!". So I just respond with something simple. (One of the lines i used) "well, I mean EVERYONE has to have a great hobby right?"
From an arcade when I was like 10, I got lots of tickets from the arcade until I saw the army men toys that it would cost 5 tickets, guess what me and my cousin, but 100 of them is that crazy or what 😳
Just getting into Army Men Stop Motion and was looking for a way to make custom poses. Thanks for this 4 years later. Lol. By chance do you have a link to the TinkerCad online file with the parts already seperated? Or is that in the linked mediafile?
Now I think I’m going to buy a 3D printer. (Don’t worry I’ll use it for lots of other things too) and some glossy paint. Maybe in the future I’ll get a 3D pen to help clean up the soldiers seams myself. Any good suggestion on a printer? I don’t want to spend a lot as I’ll only be printing small things like this.
Learn blender man, it's hard at the start, but when you get use to it, you can pose and position any character you want the right way. By the way you made me lough, and I just want to say, I think my family thinks of me the same way, but makers make, not matter what. Keep it up.
I play with 3d modling all the time, and its really not as hard as you make it out to be. If you think making armymen is hard, then you are going probably the high poly route, rather then the low poly. Poly is polygons, or how many vertices are with in the mesh. with 3d animation, its fairly easy to make stuff. It just takes practice. If you think something is hard, its just because you haven't practiced enough and learned the functionality of the program you work with.
If you have so many why don't you do this every single time when one dies they get melted we have to do is get a blowtorch or a wider move every single one of we army men away from that soldier that got killed but I recommend you do on a surface that won't burn to be honest it will be like yeah if you want toyou can make it so they don't move away and they have to run away from the people that are being catch on fire but it is a big waste of plastic that actually have them be killed and once they're dead and you melt them it will be always a plastic but it is your choice
People think I like playing with army men like dolls. I DON'T LIKE PLAYING WITH THEM BUT MAKING FILMS. Their feeble minds just don't understand. Edit: thx for th likes (the most i ever got)
As someone who used to play with lead and tin armymen, and later the plastic armymen, I love this. And yeah, for future reference most teachers in that area don't help much, it's a thing that is mostly trail and error. I took CAD in college, and it's basically the same. XD
Thanks for putting up this detailed vid. As a toy designer and art teacher (!), I too was amazed to find that nobody is printing their Green Army Men. I mean with the Toy Story movies out, even LEGO made their variant... I was surprised to see that Netflix' "The Toys That Made Us" hasn't covered the classic Bucket of Soldiers yet. Probably a phenomenon of our time where slaughtering zombies in a game is ok but a warped "gun" the size of half a matchstick is sending parents into panic mode. BTW: great approach to problem-solving! ...
Thx for putting in the time and effort to 3D model the army men over if you can’t print them. I will be printing them if I can (my local libraries have 3D printers people can use for free) so thx a lot
@@NimProductions when I had a 3D printing class, my teacher had also banned the use of printing guns, knives, Etc. But little did she know I printed parts and soon assembled a butterfly knife/Balisong.
I think a good idea for 3d printing Army Men would be 3d printing the characters from the 3DO Army Men series like Sargent Hawk, General Plastro, and more 👌
Two things 1: do you want to some how trade army men 2: do you want to some how make a stop motion film together I know its stupid but cool I need more solders And would be cool to make a movie
