    hearing you say that your usual videos are only surface level instruction is insane. I've been watching your videos for a long time. I'm not a garage kit artist. I'm a painter. the garage kit community is very lucky to have you.

    Honestly, I'm always happy to see a notification that our Resin Queen has posted a new video!
    I'm going to admit, pinning still seems really intimidating, but somehow the way you explained it and also showed what you were explaining really did set a lot of those 'catastrophe-level' thoughts at ease!
    Definitely looking forward to everything you'll be doing next!

    I like the idea. This works well for wings and capes. Pinning hollow 1:6 scale and bigger models is a little more tricky. Cause you know, they're hollow.

    This is super helpful! The putty idea is a great idea for awkward pieces. Magnets have the uses if you have face plates to switch but I prefer wire for anything else. So much cheaper to use wire.
    Also love the shirt!

      How do metal pins fare with multiple reassemblies? I don't think I've seen anything like this on mass produced PVC figurines, so I wonder what advantages and disadvantages these pins have. They don't look too appealing on the surface, that's for sure.

    As an on-again-off-again 3d modeler who makes their own 3d-print GKs, I have a tip for 3d modelers who intend to sell their models as printable kits:
    99 times out of a 100, you and your customers will print your models hollowed out if they're printing in resin. Take that into account when splitting up your models into parts. Make either a spherical, or better yet cylindrical, subtraction from both sides of corresponding parts--depending on the size of the part. These perfectly aligned dimples make drilling holes for pinning super easy. And cylindrical guides are even better because even if the kit is hollowed out, the wall thickness will still provide some body inside the hollowed out part for the pin to grab onto, so long as you/your customer don't use too thin a wall thickness, and use too big of a drill/pin.

    • @leonasworkshop
      @leonasworkshop  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is the worst advice for when adding connections to parts. Your worst enemy in assembling and putting your parts together is that they correctly align and stay in place, if you put a cylindrical key on an arm, a leg or head, the parts will swivel out of place and you don't want that.
      Very few kits I've worked with had cylindrical keys and I've had to cut them to give them an edge so that it will stay in the correct position. Unless the parts have a section to stop the part from swiveling, this is not the way to do it.

    • @colesutra
      @colesutra ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@leonasworkshop It's not a key, it's a void, on both sides of the parts. Meant specifically for pins to go directly into. Either with a little bit of putty filler if the void is too large because someone went and upscaled the 1/12 scaled model 200% into a 1/6 scale. Or to use a drill to widen the pre-made holes to fit their pin gauge exactly.
      Sorry what I tried to explain wasn't clear enough. I was trying to describe a method of adding pin guides in addition to keys.

    Hello and good morning/day/night. I was wondering if you have any tips for making bases to replace any broken ones or dramatically oversized ones? I understand your kit/figs are custom, but I've had ideas of possibly replacing bases on figures/statue figs. Like would it be as simple as simply creating a resin replacement and then drilling holes for pegs. Or are there more factors I need to know. Because in some cases the bases are so thin and cheap I figured weight wouldn't really be too much of a problem.

    Hi Leona, I love your work and got into printing off my own figures and painting them because of your videos. You've been such a helpful resource and I'm very thankful for the in depth information. It always looks easy in videos made by someone with so much experience, but much harder to do in reality hahaha I do have a question that is probably a no brainer for you but... the thing i've found stupid hard is going back to sand a piece that primer showed where I missed spots. Removing the primer has been so time consuming and frustrating, I just wanted to know if there was a tried and true method you use.
    I don't watch a lot of stuff on youtube but you're one of like two people that I watch every video for after a friend shared your work with me. Recently another friend decided to get into GKs and asked me for tips and tools, and I was only able to help because of you. I know you got into the hobby/artform at a much less accessible time, so it is especially meaningful to be able to benefit from all the hard work you've put in learning this craft when there WEREN'T easy answers and the scene was so gatekeepy. Thank you for sharing what you know, and I'm excited to see those deep dives. It's also so cool to see a creator and artist from my generation of anime fans still dedicated to the oldies. I was so pleasantly surprised to see the Ayashi no Ceres framed animation cel. That's one of my favorite manga and no one really talks much about it these days. It's awesome to see an old school shoujo lover out there.
    Anyway, thank you for the wonderful videos and keep up the good work!!

    Your previous video on pinning is what I used as a reference! However, watching this one helped me understand a bit more also :) (I'm really dumb so lots of visuals help like this did!) Thank you for all the information!!
    Also -- I wouldn't mind seeing more of the painting! But, would it be only airbrush painting?? I don't want to invest in an airbrush right now since I don't really have an area for one and currently have army painter type acrylic paints (they're for minis), so most of my questions are like for hand-painting. Example: Is there a certain type of paint that I should try? What do you recommend for hiding or minimising brush strokes? (If at all possible LOL)

    Hi there! I love how helpful and accessible your videos are. It’s definitely helped me figure out what I need to start tackling the kits I’ve bought. Recently however I bought a kit that has a number of clear parts for the base! How would I go about pinning something like that?? I’m going to tackle some of my easier kits first because I’m so worried about screwing it up lol. Any advice would be so appreciated. I want to find a way to pin her and figure out some way to give her a diamond’s holographic kind of shine.

    Spooky. Recently a picture frame dropped onto my garage kits. That Kotobukiya Yoko mostly wasn't pinned and she lost quite a few parts. But next to that Yoko, an Amie-Grand Triela, which is my most recent kit, stayed undamaged. She was built with a mix of pinning and magnets. I've lost too many unpinned kits to gravity in the past, I now always try to pin.

    9:53 "Paint would strip away". Glue on paint, I will admit it, I do that sometimes, didn't think of everything when I paint before putting all together. For me, when I put glue on paint, around the glue there can be a whitening effect on the paint, not stripped away. I wonder why the glue does this on paint?
