You are not alone, Mel. You have comrades far and wide, who many would be willing to help you at a moment’s notice. And then you also have those people who need you to continue your art because it helps them not feel secluded. Thanks for watching the film and for sharing its impact on you.
I've been in the same hobby for about 15 years with well over 1000 1/6 figures alone. It's definitely a passion-based undertaking. I do everything in terms of customizing except painting. Much respect given!
I got into it the past year. I am not where near as good as him, but I have a deep obsession with movies and trying to make my characters look like the movies. I try to create things that Hot Toys/Sideshow/3rd Parties never do like John Carter Movie and so on. It is time consuming, but that is what passions and hobbies are.
This was great. He said something in this video that resonated with me. He said, "I have so many things I want to make that aren't out there, so I guess I'm going to have to make it myself." Which is what I did. Figures they never made, I'm making myself too. I started in 2016 and am just about done. I made 6 custom figures and a diorama for them. As a musician and artist, this is one more facet of the arts I had to learn. It's fun. But exhausting too.
Crafting is always arduous. As an artist, you are manifesting a part of you into this world. This is creation. Our fruit is our labor. Never cease your art!
I’ve done similar as well at I believe some point for almost every figure collecter or artist life they will want something that hasn’t been made I’ve made a lot of custom figures so far and I’m thinking of getting into scenery and diorama making

Thank you! James’s showcase has doubled since we filmed this, 2 years ago. Thankfully we still talk to him on a regular basis; his love for his craft is infectious.
Respect. Anytime I see an artist talk about their art and their ability to create, it doesn’t matter to me what their art is or how good or bad they are at it, I always respect their passion to keep doing it and their need to get better at it.
I do the same thing and I'm constantly looking at things and thinking this would make a great whatever. And if you're doing something that makes you happy and you feel you've accomplished something that makes you feel better, who cares what others think. If you're not hurting or being detrimental to other people, what does it matter what you do? That goes for all hobbies, and passions. you're a long time dead so live the way you want.
This is like living in a dream, committed whole body and spirit to recreat what resonate with you! This make me want to try out these things more as well!
I also love going to craft stores and thrift store and just finding non scale pieces and seeing the potential in it or I like the challenge of trying to shrink something that you like down to miniature size
Most of what I make are characters of my own creation....even when they start out as another nameless oc.....as I start to put them together their name comes to me and so does their story and at long last they become their own individual.
I'm actually making from scratch a 1/6 scale figure of Toranaga from Shogun.Ive made all the underclothes and handpainted all the Armour .Now I'm rooting his hair ,Gotee and moustache and handpainting his face .I'm also an Artist
Awesome video!! I totally appreciate and understand your love for this hobby. Can you tell me where or how I can find a one sixth scale human figure to build on? All I need is a blank, plain human. to build a suit of armor on. The whole figure will be covered in scratch built detail, so it doesn't have to be realistic or anything. I thank you SO MUCH in advance for any info or help. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE!!!
Hey thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it! Check eBay first and foremost and search for 1:6 scale body. Other sellers would be toyanxiety, monkeydepot, or worldofonesixth to name a few. Good luck!
Being a teacher as well. How about getting your class to do this in school with old figure dolls? All kids these days wanna do is play on their cellphones and computer games with no imagination at all. A crucial part of growing up
Here there! I use brushes I find at Michaels Craft Stores but my recent two favorite brushes are Tamiya TAM87172 and Tamiya TAM87173. I use a lot of Vallejo paint but really a lot of store found acrylics too
Lol. Loved this video. I just got into this hobby about a year ago. I make an sell Bruce Willis Die Hard figures when I can find all the pieces to make one. Check out some of the ones I made on my channel.

Never stop! Your passion nurtures your soul. What figures do you prefer to make? Originals? Or iconic characters?

Amazing ❤🎉😊I just started I suppose 😁
Most of what I make are characters of my own creation....even when they start out as another nameless oc.....as I start to put them together their name comes to me and so does their story and at long last they become their own individual.
That's a great way to get to know your characters!

I bet you could definitely make some great Dioramas.
I'm tryna get in this kind of stuff but I can't even make a vest
Hey I get most of my stuff on eBay and just try to modify it or make it work in some way
Take that first baby step! Have to start small 😊
I'm very interested in doing a hip hop toy line any tips on how to get the molds?
Shoot that question to James on his IG! instagram.com/indianajames00?
Great video man, keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Thanks, Hassan! I’m working hard on telling new stories. Hope you enjoy what we have in store!
Really want a licensed R.J. MacReady from The Thing. Looked like you started work on one.
I'd want a Rita (Emily Blunt) in her armor from "Edge of Tomorrow."
What Brand of paint and Brushes you
Hey! I use a lot of brushes from Michael’s or Joanne Fabric craft stores around town but I really like a couple small Tamiya brushes
Thanks for watching! Please leave a comment if you have more questions.
which led lights do you use and which dimmer?
Hey! I got led light strips from Ike’s For my detolf shelves! Sadly I don’t think they make the light strips anymore
Thanks for watching and engaging!
I'd love to learn to make diorama base for my ww2 figures but I'm lost and don't know how to begin.
Any luck, Aidan? Would you be interested in watching James show how he does something specific?
Being a teacher as well. How about getting your class to do this in school with old figure dolls? All kids these days wanna do is play on their cellphones and computer games with no imagination at all. A crucial part of growing up
That's a great idea!
Do you make your own sculpting Tools
I saw James using clay and paint tools from his local art store.
I use tools that’s are already made mostly. I use makeup sponges and pointed cotton swabs a lot though too
Dude 👍

Have you ever made 1/6 scale props
James both makes and buys props!
Oh yeah I made a lot of props! I often use basswood or balsa wood to make some simple objects
Does anyone know the best site to buy 1/6 figure clothes
I think James uses ebay
Definitely check ebay, but also Monkey Depot, Toy Anxiety, World of One Sixth are good sites too for loose and boxed items
Join 1/6 scale facebook groups too!
After paint Flesh Tones brush on
Thin RTV SILACONE
Thats very interesting! Do you have any photos of heads you've done with the silicone?

Would you be able to do me the two priests from The Exorcist in that scale
Head over to instagram.com/indianajames00? to ask James. We just made the movie!
