    You say no one helped you and then you take the same attitude that "I ain't gonna hold your hand. You could show basic techniques that are used by all customizers like the heat and pop to take arms off without breaking them, and disassembling figures in a way that won't break them. that is something you could do. this video doesn't show any kind of process. if you want to be lazy and not try to learn how to sculpt or paint, you're not going to get any better. You don't need to sand prep a figure for 1w2 hours, In the time it took to watch your video, 15 mins, I lightly sanded and painted half of a 6 inch figure with black Citadel paint. There are water based Tamiya paints.
    Teaching something to someone is not holding their hand. Teaching is sharing your knowledge and helping them find solutions.

I have plenty of other videos to the tune of the above comment which you’d know if you did the slightest bit of back tracking which you don’t even have to do because I have a playlist with all the videos that are tutorials lol. I didn’t wanna give this energy because I’m being judged on a video that’s pretty much a skim through, I have detailed videos that’s have helped plenty of people who LOOKED through my channel, and no I don’t wanna hold anyone’s hand I had to learn myself just as you should, me making the videos is helping plenty trust me, if you follow along to the videos you can get the gist of what to do and how to do it, Again thanks for watching 👍🏽
