@@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail Glad you liked that! I initially did a straight blend (footage on top layer set to 50% opacity) but decided to experiment with blend modes instead. The black background those figures were filmed against allowed the figures to stand out.
Mannn, thank y'all for this. I really was a little out of my comfort zone with this new macro/probe lens, so honestly the comments have been a relief. Thank y'all so much for watching!
"Somebody could sit under a tree, get hit on the head by a apple... and we all have to do crazy math." Just the giggle I needed at the end of this day. Thank you Crafsman! Your Crafsfan, Paula
CrafsMan... you never fail to put a smile on my face. Lately, I haven't had many reasons to smile; but I can always count on you. Doesn't matter what you are doing, your gentle voice and easy approach to everything just gives me hope for better days. Hugs
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! I have never seen a 3.5 inch GI Joe look so GINORMOUS! Great video, Crafsman! p.s. I'm reminding you to talk about macro. : /
Model kits are fun in general Whether they be Gundam and Bandai kits,Kotobukiya,Warhammer miniatures, and more, they’re easy to have fun with and relax with,just like this video
Unless they're Mechanicore kits, then that becomes torture for most and a test of skills and wits for the crazy few sadists that enjoy that grade of pain.
@@MachineMindDesigns True Mechanicore kits are a test of skill,patience,and how much you can put up with I’ve never built a Mechanicore kit,and I never want to
Holy wow that building the monkey sequence with the background music and overlays and ending to majesticallly on the completed figure was so satisfying 🔥🤙🏼💪🏼
I've never had so much joy in hearing your voice. Your puppet cracks me uo, and your voice both soothes me and brings me joy. I learn, yet relax... confusing.....and yet relative as a hobbyist....craftman you keep crafting beautiful content...
I really enjoy the music that you make for these Crafsman. It gives it it's own unique feel and I quite enjoy it. It would be awesome to have a playlist of your music. And I liked the video a lot. I hope we get to see you paint some of these or maybe make a diorama. I can't wait to see how you build their character.
I built a model tank with my nephews over Thanksgiving that was interesting, but just another tank. 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!
As a long time Warhammer hobbiest, who recently discovered your videos, there is no wrong way to do anything. Just have fun and rule of cool is always best. Love the videos CrafsMan.
I also love the Frostgrave mini line up! They're just as cheap and just as customizable! Plus the ruleset for both these games is incredibly easy to learn and can be played with any existing minis you might already have.
Crafsman what can I say about this video?........... I can say I loved it and the work you put into this video and every video you make is outstanding! Thank you for making these fantastic entertaining, informative videos and thank you for being you! You ALWAYS warm my heart and have helped me through some very tough times. I have watched your videos over and over again and when I have had severe anxiety your videos have helped me so much, they provide me with a comforting feeling and a distraction from my anxiety. Thank you, you truly are a wonderful person ❤️
What a beautiful, calming great little video. I could watch hours of this. I've never done this kind of thing but I'd love to sit around the kitchen table with you and your family and try it. I almost feel homesick for that because after watching a few of these videos you know that kitchen table is a happy and peaceful place.
Hey crafsman I hope you see this if you do I just want you to know i just enrolled into a very intense education academy(I’m 14, almost 15) and I’ve just been studying all day. 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.
Craftsman, I been craftin on Gaslands, ever since your video on modifying hotwheels from over a year ago! My wife and son too! I'm happy to see more videos on miniatures today. I'd love to see you try some more Gaslands cars or even miniature terrain pieces. Thank you for your content, still one of my favorite shoes ever!
Your macro shots really blew me away! I'm in the process of building a lot of Warhammer 40,000 minis, and what I've found easiest to put them together is super glue with a brush.
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.
My favorite TH-cam channel. Why can't I stop watching this silly-looking puppet with a voice from down in the Bayou!? I am an adult, after all, for goodness sakes! Now, I find myself shelling out my hard-earned allowance on this thing called Patreon, so you will keep making more videos. But I told my wife, "It's MY allowance, I can spend it how I WANT!". She just rolled her eyes and said..."Awww Rite!" In an authentic Crafsman accent. I do love that woman. Keep up the great work making quality content, Crafsman. Mister Gulsby
I love putting stuff together, I started with model kits but recently moved to miniatures and while im not the best painter, I have a lot of fun putting them together! but warhammer can be so expensive, so thanks a lot for showing me a new model kit series that is more wallet friendly and still looks good! thank you crafsman, you are the best!
I honestly just stumbled upon this channel today and already absolutely love it. TheCrafsMan is like a bob ross of arts and crafts to me and I already die laughing every time he does the shoulder shrug.
Really delightful video! I'm a big miniature hobbyist. I really enjoyed seeing you dip your toes in. I'd love to see you paint a few of these up at some point.
CrafsMan! I just bought the crew and mercenaries pack at my local game store. I'm out of my element too, so as soon as I got home I looked up stargrave miniatures on TH-cam-and there you were! Steady craftin! Looking forward to putting these together for a solo game call Five Parsecs from Home.
Yoooo, that music you used near the beginning, around :40, was so good! I'd love to hear an extended version of it. Or, even better - a Crafsman album!
Crafsman now I gotta see you customize some of these figures! Your miniature/kitbash/toy videos are my absolute favorite and I would love to see what you would come up with customizing these lil guys.
Here's an idea, each family member has a sprue from different sets, you each pull off a piece, then pass the sprues. Seems like a fun way to make some interesting choices.
Thank you for another wonderful video. Miniatures and painting are my main hobby so it's always exciting to see things like this and Gaslands make an appearance!
Nice to see you again, Crafsman. I love your calm, peaceful voice in this seriously crazy world. God bless you and the Mrs with a very Merry Christmas 🎄
Oh that's great! I myself got into frostgrave some years ago, really low budget game, which makes it so much better for playing with the kids! (Younger siblings and other family members in my case)
Northstar/Osprey kits are fantastic. The Stargrave kits have been staring at me every time I walk into my local shop. Might be a good time to pick them up.
OOOh these look fun! 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!
I'm only a minute into the video and I just have to pause and catch my breath... I've been a long time subscriber and often wonder how in the world you're going to top every video you publish. You consistently do it every single time!
Oh wow, when I clicked the video I wasn’t expecting it to be one of yours as you don’t generally do minis. I’ve been aware of the SG minis for a while now but never pulled the trigger and I think this has decided me, I wasn’t aware of the sheer number of figures you actually get out of the box, that’s incredible for the cost.
The macro panning, the lighting (oh my word the lighting), as is usual for the Crafsman it was all so dead on the nose!.. I watched right to the end, transfixed.
Stargrave gives you so many bits. I have bits comin out my ears. It's great for kitbashing little peeps or most any variety. Helps when the crazy math starts trying to manifest around my head OH LAWD THERE THEY IS AGAIN! Oh uh, thanks for the video. I gotta eat an apple or somethin to get the maths to go away.
Yes sir. I cut my bits off the sprue with a hobby knife over a mat like you do in a couple shots. Clippers are just bulkier than I care to mess with on such a tiny scale!
Your music production is really becoming amazing. It sounds like you are really digging into synthesis and I love it. You are doing amazingly. Your creative mixing is also on point lately. You are such a good creative role model
Hey Crafsman, it's cool to see you getting into minis. One tip, you can use the blunt side of your knife to scrape and clean the mould lines to make your minis look nicer.

I never have the write words when replying to something like this. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you so so much!
@@TheCrafsMan Just know that you are a blessing in many many people's lives; and in more ways than you can imagine.
Miniatures are my jam so it makes me happy to see people who aren't normally a part of the hobby enjoying themselves. Thanks for the vid.
Would love to see you paint some of these up! Maybe even a diorama... a man can dream.

I'm in the process of building a lot of Warhammer 40,000 minis, and what I've found easiest to put them together is super glue with a brush.
For sure, super glue is the easiest to apply, but it is also the easiest to break. Sometimes that's a whole lot of heartbreak.

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. :)

The cold open on this one is ... unbelievably good.
Your videos are so captivating, I just sit in awe the whole way through. The transition over the the grid pattern was incredible.
Very cool. These blokes would look good in an orange and grey paint scheme.
Stargrave is epic, thanks for showing these! Space Dude with bazooka would be an excellent character for most any crew.
Cool look at these! Reminds me of the OLD, Rogue Trader, 40k Space Marine boxed set.
I really love the synthwave style of music that crafsman is going into ! Great video !

I know it's outside of TheCrafsMan's prefered toy era, but I would love to see what he can do with some Gundam/Gunpla models.
Also go after Aqua Shooters (Gashapon chibi girls in water warfare) and Animagear (Candy modular animal robot models)
I was thinking the same thing! I hear the rx-78-2 perfect grade unleashed is a really cool build.
@@redndead8993 I'm a third of the way through it now. It's very involved. Takes up my whole dining room table.

Awwwww yes. This is the good stuff! I'm so happy to see you having fun with miniatures and those Stargrave kits are fantastic.
OOOh these look fun!
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!
Craftsman!!! Best entertainment for the buck hands down. Always look forward to a release from you :)
