Some fun lore about Froxes: their lips actually look like that because it's really dry in the Depths and no one has invented chapstick big enough for them to use. Hope that helps!
Just as a tip for soldering in the future, you want to touch the soldering iron to the surface you want to apply the solder to (in this case the LED and battery pack wires) and NOT the solder wire itself. So, the tip of the soldering iron goes against the LED/battery pack wires to heat them up, then you touch the solder wire to the hot LED wires to form the connection, and finally you remove the solder wire and the soldering iron to let the newly connected wires cool. You can then go back in and kind of “clean up” the connection with the tip of the soldering iron by gently dragging the melted solder around if needed. Loved the video and can’t wait to see more in the future!
Also flux! Even if you're using flux-core solder, you need to apply this magic paste to the wires before heating. It dissolves any surface oxidation, which helps the liquid metal bond to the wire.
Yes this! Heat the wire, not the solder. Also if the solder balls up and has a dull gloss to it, its a dirty solder. Clean the iron tip with a damp sponge between every other solder job.
this is so interesting! i do stained glass and this is the exact opposite of what we do- i never touch the iron to the copper foil/the seams between the glass, i only ever "pick up" the solder with the iron and let it flow to the seam without contact or preheating. this completely makes sense for wires! and clears up why the one time i soldered wires together my join was so bulky and goofy looking lol.
As someone who has watched artisans like you, Ace Of Clay, and North Of The Border and felt inspired to dabble in polymer clay sculpting so I picked up a couple of blocks of Sculpey from my local Walmart, I just want to say thanks for this video in particular. Your texturing techniques have answered so many questions I've had. Not to mention they way you built the base and hid the batter pack was masterful. I can't wait to apply what I've learned from this video. I'll definitely be using this video in particular for referencing.
The idea of cinnamon floss is a truly wild thing to confront me with at 2:30 in the morning only a dozen minutes before I plan to go to sleep. I simply cannot accept this.
The detail on this is FANTASTIC. killed so many of these guys for the depths set lol. I was under the impression these were related to the hinox, considering the one eye, prominent toes, and "ox" at the end. The texture on everything is stunning Holy hell.
10:30 for some reason I expected the North of the Border method of rock texturing by essentially smacking the Hylia out of the Zoanite ore with the rock, lol. It looks fantastic, by the way, I love the whole process you went through with the ore to make it look the way it did!
Just a little tip! It helps to pre tin your wire as it makes it a little easier and also flux is your friend, it helps the tin to flow easier on the areas it’s contacting
@@CrossingCraftsthank you for that response, that just sent me on a truly bizarre and wildly entertaining 30 min where I have now gotten my computer to play the horns when I open excel (and other things but I can program those out later) This is brilliant
Holy crap your attention to detail is incredible. I watch a lot of craft channels but your stuff always ends up looking the most professional in the end
I saw you upload when I was at work earlier and I've been looking forward to watching this all day! I've really been struggling with anxiety lately and listening to your narrating voice just made me feel so calm🫶 Thank you, stunning work as always!!
I discovered your channel a few days ago and have just been watching all the videos, this is incredible! You asked for ideas and I was thinking a Yiga Clan base in the depths could be a fun use of the static grass you have, I didn't even know it came in those kinds of cool colors?! Super excited to see more sculptures in the future!
Hey! Beautiful work!!! I know this is an older video, but something else that would help with soldering is a thing called flux; it's a white goop that helps the solder want to stick to metal better. Been on a binge of all your Zelda crafts and you're tempting me to break out my old craft supplies :)
for soldering - not sure about the metal beading up, but twist the wires together first before you actually start soldering - it gets a better connection and makes actually soldering easier
Oatey solder paste flux comes in a lil white tube. Dip the tips of your wires in the tube to coat with flux then tin your wires( coat with solder). Then the helping hands and when you touch the tip of the iron to the wires it is so satisfying as they just join together.
It is 1 in the morning but the grind does not stop for Ms C. Craft, for the large frog shall dictate when we sleep Wanna say for real your skills are incredible in everything I’ve seen you make, if its simple or super detailed, all your crafts are insanely well made and I love watching you make them and also your style of humor and editing is just as great, basically you da best my friend
you're talking so casually as if this didn't take probably hours and hours of tedious work /lh 😭😭like i would loose my patience doing that much detail and texture work, it's rlly impressive
Soldering tips! So what you are doing is called “painting” this is when you touch the solder directly to the soldering iron to get it to melt. It’s best to heat up your metal with the iron and touch the solder to your hot wire and not the iron. Another tip to make it a little easier is to connect your wires instead of balancing them. You can do this in two ways. You can create a hook on each end and hook them together or you can twist the wires together. This will ensure a strong connection and make it easier! Soldering takes a lot of patience and I would recommend getting tip tinner because if your soldering iron gets covered in enough solder it won’t be able to melt the solder and make connections anymore. That’s all I can think of rn but if you have more questions I can try and answer them!
Amaziiing!! Btw, as I have to act as a helping hand to my hubs when he solders...he frequently dips his soldering iron in soldering paste when the little balls start to form and it removes oxide from the wiers so it can bond better. But now I will show him your soldering setup so that I don't have to fear being burnt 😂❤
Thank you for the advice, I’m learning so much through the comments! I’m also learning that your friend might think ‘helping hand’ means it needs to be a human hand LMAO, good luck not getting burnt omg
I'm incredibly impressed with everything you accomplished here! I'd give you tips on soldering, but I think you're well on your way and practice is the best thing. Pre-tinning the leads is the only thing I didn't really see or hear, so maybe look into that, otherwise it's great!!
i found this channel yesterday but i’ve been watching since last night, and again tonight! such beautiful work, i’ve been bed ridden from surgery and i’ve loved watching you do your crafts while i play totk!
It looks incredible, what a smart idea too to keep the two halves of the base separated and to work in the brick detail to help hide the seam!! Amazing job, your videos are so fun to watch
monsters in the legend of zelda franchise are absolutely oustanding! another craft you could do to make use of that grass could be some of the gloomed horriblins (im biased, theyre my favorite) that hang out in the giant ribcages in the depths or one of the monster mining camps. it would be AMAZING to see more depths monsters or dioramas with your great skill with these crafts! (any crafts at all for that matter)
augh as always your sculpting is so confident and effective. also have you considered making static grass yourself? there are a few very easy/cheap ways to do it and all of them allow you to choose the colour! amazing project as always.
… I have never considered making static grass, but after reading your comment it’s like… the floodgates are open. I need to make my own static grass now Thank you for the idea! And I’m glad you enjoyed
That’s amazing!! I love that you hand sculpted him and not 3d printed like a lot of diorama makers nowadays Not that there’s any problem with that, it’s just that little bit of extra time and effort and getting the details so perfect I think is really cool and admirable! I also learned a few things about sculpting watching this Watching the process was so satisfying ❤️
You totally captured the eerie, spooky nature of this guy!! The lights inside the zonaite on its back are so cool. When I saw my first giant frox in the depths it legitimately jumpscared me because I had no idea it was there until I crashed my glider into the ground nearby and it attacked me.
When soldering, always heat the wires with the soldering iron - not the solder itself. Touch the solder to the wires from the other side from the iron and wait for the hot wires to melt the solder. The solder won't fuse with the wire if the wire isn't hot enough to melt the solder. It also helps to start by melting a tiny bit of solder onto the iron to "wet" the tip; this increases heat transfer a lot and makes everything faster and easer.
He is so damn chunky. As someone who does soldering for cosplays, I can confirm the best way to solder is 'any way that makes the component not move' - I've taped wires to the desk so they stay put while I solder em
They have snap together wire if you don't mind paying extra. Soldering has a fair bit of nuance. Think of it like writing with an ink pen you fill as you go?
Impressive work on this Obsidian Frox sculpture. 🙌🏻🌟 As for the grass leftovers, how about reusing it for the base of an Armoured Lynel sculpture? Considering how great your Obsidian Frox here turned out, watching you do an Armoured Lynel sculpture in a similar fashion would just be so awesome! 🌟
This is so phenomenal. botw and totk are two games that mean so much to me, and this video was so exciting and engaging to watch. Your sculpting is absolutely gorgeous. Such amazing work.
Bro you did such a great job! I haven't been enjoying these types of videos lately but I watched yours fully and enjoyed every second. You did so great!!
Wake up babe! New Crossing Crafts video just dropped!!! This project turned out so cool, the Zonaite ore especially looks dope AF! As for projects that could use the depths coloured static grass, while it would be a pretty large project, maybe one of the Yiga hideouts in the depths? (It's been a bit so can't really remember how much grass they have around them, but I just think they're very cool locations lol) Glory to Master Kohga
I'm not an expert in soldering by any means, but I do do it fairly often, and weird beading that doesn't stick might have to do with the wires being too cold compared to the solder. It'll cool quicker than it should and won't stick. You can sometimes get around this by holding the soldering iron behind the wire, with the solder wire in front, so the heat has to travel through the LED wires (or whatever else you're wiring) first before getting to and melting the solder
Every time you cut toward your fingers with the X-Acto knife, I have a little heart attack. Your craft has improved so much on this channel, please don't cut your fingers off.
Hi, I am here for the lumps and bumps. You nailed another project for the scrapbook! Good thing there are plenty more monsters for you to sculpt. I didnt even know floss came in different flavors lol!
A tip for soldering: if you're having trouble keeping the wires touching, twist em together. Ideally, you want it to look kinda like a twizzler, doing this will also make a much stronger connection once it's soldered together. Also, idk if you have one already, but please please *please* have some kind of device to push fumes away from your face, that stuff is nasty. You want the solder to basically flow onto the wire, it should look like it's just coating the wires, having a big blob of solder isn't ideal (but isn't necessarily a problem, it just doesn't look great) Be sure to wipe your iron off whenever it gets the black crusty stuff on it, it should look like shiny chrome while you're working with it. You should also, before you actually start soldering, apply some solder to your iron, again, going for a shiny chrome look, just get a nice blob on there and wipe it away, leaving a thing coating on the iron. (This is called "tinning" and is also what you're doing to the wires themselves) Practice really helps, and as long as you haven't burnt anything, it's pretty forgiving, you can just reheat the solder and try again.
Those things scared the bejezeus out of me. I dropped down to the depths and landed on one. I couldn't see what it was just one thought... RUN AWAY! RUN LINK RUN! Great work. I always look forward to your videos. 👍😁
I have been borrowing my friend's copy of the game since I refuse to pay $70 for a base game, but it went on sale so now I own my own copy. I haven't come across this guy yet, but he looks cool! Your patience with the details astounds me.
A good idea for bumps or any kind of indentation for patterns, is to use cling film and a blunt tool to draw them on that way you don't get the sharp outlines - look at North of the Border videos he uses this technique alot 😁
I could listen to you talk 24/7. Since you have the grass, some resin, clay, and great with LEDs. You could visit the Depths again and craft a Lightroot
Amazing work and very detailed! I love watching your channel, the Korok torture device is still my favorite XD Also, not sure if you are aware, but try to avoid touching Resin directly with your hand ( 20:48 ). Most resin used for crafting is highly toxic and its best practice to wear proper masks and gloves when working with the stuff. Sometimes people know and sometimes people don't but either way always be careful when using Resin.
I use a brand called apple barrel paints, they are so cheap (like 60 cents a bottle) and I couldn’t believe how good they were for that price! They definitely have a few colors that need lots of layers, but such is the burden of a 60 cent bottle of paint lmaoo
idk if ive commented before but i love ur channel so much i remember when i first found u and it was like a hidden gem im so excited seeing ur channel grow, even if im not really doing much lol edit: and also ur sculpting skills are insane like i strive to be like u in my sculptures
I clicked the video thinking your name was Adam and that you liked making tiny nerdy things. Turns out you give me the same humorous vibes :D Here, have my like and subscription.
For soldering, use flux. Also, flux expires. I don't remember how long it takes to expire, but I found that out when I was telling my friend about it while using flux branded Radioshack. Maybe 6 months iirc?. Also, the Frox looks awweeeesome. Makes me appreciate it so much more
I use polymer clay (specifically Sculpey Original, you can find it at Walmart for super cheap on an individal scale, but for a whole classroom it might get expensive) and it doesn't cure until you bake it in an oven! I use a regular kitchen oven as well since it doesn't require high temps to bake. You can leave it out uncovered for a long time and nothing will happen, it's great!
For the grass, maybe an overgrown bargainer’s statue? A Warped forest themed build sounds cool, but I’m not sure if the grass is the right color. It also reminds me of ori and the blind forest and the glowing mushroom biome in terraria, but those seem like they would need more LEDs.
LEDeez nuts

I'm not an expert in soldering by any means, but I do do it fairly often, and weird beading that doesn't stick might have to do with the wires being too cold compared to the solder. It'll cool quicker than it should and won't stick. You can sometimes get around this by holding the soldering iron behind the wire, with the solder wire in front, so the heat has to travel through the LED wires (or whatever else you're wiring) first before getting to and melting the solder

Oh my you are spot on, great idea!!
Hi, I am here for the lumps and bumps. You nailed another project for the scrapbook! Good thing there are plenty more monsters for you to sculpt. I didnt even know floss came in different flavors lol!
To help the solder not ball up, use flux. It makes to solder flow and wick to the metal wire
this is sooo amazing! inever seen some frog crazy like this one! this has got to be one of y favorite projects you made ^^
A tip for soldering: if you're having trouble keeping the wires touching, twist em together. Ideally, you want it to look kinda like a twizzler, doing this will also make a much stronger connection once it's soldered together. Also, idk if you have one already, but please please *please* have some kind of device to push fumes away from your face, that stuff is nasty. You want the solder to basically flow onto the wire, it should look like it's just coating the wires, having a big blob of solder isn't ideal (but isn't necessarily a problem, it just doesn't look great) Be sure to wipe your iron off whenever it gets the black crusty stuff on it, it should look like shiny chrome while you're working with it. You should also, before you actually start soldering, apply some solder to your iron, again, going for a shiny chrome look, just get a nice blob on there and wipe it away, leaving a thing coating on the iron. (This is called "tinning" and is also what you're doing to the wires themselves) Practice really helps, and as long as you haven't burnt anything, it's pretty forgiving, you can just reheat the solder and try again.
The amount of work and love you put in every little detail is amazing 🥰
It's spectacular.
The accuracy is soooo wild. Incredible sculpt!
That's definitely the best view I've ever gotten of a frox. After that thing one-shot me the first time I encountered it, I've kept my distance, lol

I have been borrowing my friend's copy of the game since I refuse to pay $70 for a base game, but it went on sale so now I own my own copy. I haven't come across this guy yet, but he looks cool! Your patience with the details astounds me.
Love the frog. You should turn other characters into frog versions of themselves. An army of frogs. So many frogs.
Glory to Frox
Man, before you added the back legs it really looked like an OoT Dodongo lol😂 Amazing work, as always!!
you make TRULY AMAZING pieces!
once again, i am in absolute awe
YAYYYYYYY!!!! ANOTHER LEGEND OF ZELDA CRAFT❤❤❤ Love to see it! :)
That was ever satisfying to watch. Must have taken ages to paint. Very nice work.
A good idea for bumps or any kind of indentation for patterns, is to use cling film and a blunt tool to draw them on that way you don't get the sharp outlines - look at North of the Border videos he uses this technique alot 😁
I could listen to you talk 24/7. Since you have the grass, some resin, clay, and great with LEDs. You could visit the Depths again and craft a Lightroot
this looks awesome! i never realized how colorful the froxes are
awesome as always! you have significantly more subscribers than when i found your channel, but still deserves way more subscribers
Amazing work and very detailed! I love watching your channel, the Korok torture device is still my favorite XD
Also, not sure if you are aware, but try to avoid touching Resin directly with your hand ( 20:48 ). Most resin used for crafting is highly toxic and its best practice to wear proper masks and gloves when working with the stuff. Sometimes people know and sometimes people don't but either way always be careful when using Resin.
The man is stunning, you can see the effort that goes into every little detail!
This is amazing! I love these types of videos and now that I found your channel and that it also includes Zelda content, I'm definitely subscribing!
Woah! Chunky lad! Turned iut amazing, those leds where a great touch
I love your videos so much! I always wondered, what kind of paint do you use? The colors are always so vibrant and opaque!
I use a brand called apple barrel paints, they are so cheap (like 60 cents a bottle) and I couldn’t believe how good they were for that price! They definitely have a few colors that need lots of layers, but such is the burden of a 60 cent bottle of paint lmaoo
@@CrossingCrafts okay thank you so much!!
I love how you could even make a frox look loveable and collectable. ❤
❤ I would love to see you make a "Rot" from Kena: Bridge of Spirits. 😊
idk if ive commented before but i love ur channel so much i remember when i first found u and it was like a hidden gem im so excited seeing ur channel grow, even if im not really doing much lol
edit: and also ur sculpting skills are insane like i strive to be like u in my sculptures
The paint job is amazing!!! It must've been a PAIN(t) doing it tho.
So cool!!
I clicked the video thinking your name was Adam and that you liked making tiny nerdy things. Turns out you give me the same humorous vibes :D Here, have my like and subscription.
pre-tin (add solder and flux to) the wires using the helping hand, then when you join them, they join easier.
For soldering, use flux. Also, flux expires. I don't remember how long it takes to expire, but I found that out when I was telling my friend about it while using flux branded Radioshack. Maybe 6 months iirc?. Also, the Frox looks awweeeesome. Makes me appreciate it so much more
The details on this are stunning!
He looks so gnarly and awsome! I'm inspired to sculpt some zelda monsters of my own now 😆 Love your work!
oh my god its gorgeous so smooth and pretty but also grimy i love this big guy
This is incredible! Do you have to do the whole clay figure in one go so it does not dry, or is it stored somehow? I want to do this with my students
I use polymer clay (specifically Sculpey Original, you can find it at Walmart for super cheap on an individal scale, but for a whole classroom it might get expensive) and it doesn't cure until you bake it in an oven! I use a regular kitchen oven as well since it doesn't require high temps to bake. You can leave it out uncovered for a long time and nothing will happen, it's great!
For the grass, maybe an overgrown bargainer’s statue? A Warped forest themed build sounds cool, but I’m not sure if the grass is the right color. It also reminds me of ori and the blind forest and the glowing mushroom biome in terraria, but those seem like they would need more LEDs.
