Awesome video! So glad you started making tutorials again, you're one of the only miniature sculptors I've found on the platform and the content is quality. Thanks for sharing!
I know I'm late, but I've kept this tutorial on my "to do list" for a while, and finally had the chance to put it into practice. I had some leftover Milliput from another (long and boring) gap-filling job, and tried a few fur collars on some kitbashed mercenaries, made from a variety of kits from different producers: while it's not the most perfect mix for this job, the technique was incredibly rewarding and the results awesomely satisfying. Boy, I'm happy. Thank you so much!
Solid video, great technique. Been sculpting cloaks, badly. Just firing out a vid on it now. Moreso about how to practice on a budget rather than using a specific technique
Yup time to think what mini from my collection I can try this out in :) recently got some green stuff for the first time but have only covered a gap here and there. Time to be brave and try to sculpt something!
Great video! It is really nice to have another standalone video. I'll have to admit that I've been too lazy to watch the entirety of Goblin Baddie series.
Great video. I'm a sculptor and have been having friends ask me how to sculpt beards, specifically. Would you be willing to do a beard and facial hair video? During this isolation, I haven't been able to visit friends and teach, and it would be great to have a resource to point people towards for reference.
Ooohh where were you a month ago.. :( This video would have been so good to watch before I tried some fur sculpting on a really big miniature. Really great video man, will be rewatching and using this video for reference next time I do some more fur sculpting! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
You tutorials are excellent. Do you have any tips for fur with a more subtle texture? I want to paint a pattern over the fur, and I think it will be difficult where the fur is more defined.
I would suggest doing all of the fur like I show in the very beginning. Ideally using an X-Acto blade. That will give you to most control and allow you to put the finest detail into the fur without having it be overly defined like you see at the end of the video.
I have a problem in sticking the green stuff to the steelwire armour of my mini-miniature (it's a 15mm one), it sticks to the tool (silicone or metal it's the same) and not to the armour. Do you have any tips?
You can try adding a little texture to the wire first. Although at 15mm there isn't much room for that. You should add some lubrication to your tools so that they are less sticky than the wire.
That's a great solution! If you haven't, definitely try going in after using the roller. You can make slight adjustments that disrupt the pattern that will give it a much more lively and unique look.
Damn you, that video is better than mine xD
Fantastic job as usual, as I always say, best sculpting channel on UA-cam.
The more the better. Everything I have learned over the years was learned by seeing how different artists did it their way.
@@TomMasonSculptor that is very true indeed.
Again thanks for the content mate

Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial!
No problem!
great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Found this video when looking for methods to convert 3D printed Sunland knights into Middenheimers. Great video and easy to follow! Thanks :)
Awesome, thank you!
Always a pleasure
Thanks!

Great work!
Thanks!
This makes it look so much easier than i initially thought.
Give it a try. It does take some practice but I hope the lesson makes it more approachable.
Great advice Tom. Ill try that today
Awesome!
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
Awesome vid
Thanks!
Hey, cool!
Thanks!
Good tutorial man 😉
Glad you liked it!

Very cool!
I started adding fur to my Orks tonight, seriously needed this vid, cheers dude!
Awesome!
Superb thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video! Great technique and you teach it really well. Also camera and sound is beautiful. Thanks for this!
Thanks so much!

You can do it!
Great video!

I hear ya. It's a big series. Definitely will have more like this going forward.
@@TomMasonSculptor Sounds great! I'll be looking forward to it.

Great suggestion! Frankly I'm shocked I haven't done a tutorial on this already.

Better late than never :)
Amazing video as always! Any tip on how to make the needle tool?
Yes! My needle tool is made from a needle that I took off of a dress shirt. I put the needle in a tube and added a bunch of putty to hold it in place.
@@TomMasonSculptor a needle from a dress shirt? You mean one to sew or so? Thanks by the way!😁

@@TomMasonSculptor Thanks Tom for the advice
Lubricate my tool.
Best advice ever!
make sure your tool is lubricated ehehehehe
I CAN'T HELP IT! I decided long ago not to worry about innuendo. It just comes out to easily when sculpting miniatures. SEE!!!
