@@TomMasonSculptor I hope so too, I bought some tools, and kinetplast clay (it hardens in an hour and a half) so I'll attempt my second sculpture ever. It's probably going to look awful, but it's a start.
man, you are friggin amazing!!! thank you for sharing your talent! :D it has inspired me to try it my self. i've done good number of conversions to warhammer fantasy/40k models, but I'm now looking to create my own for D&D campaigns, as i've now taken up the mantle of DM for my group. I'm currently working on a full diorama landscape for my party members to explore, but this will help bring my game to a whole new level. so again, thank you sensei!!!
I really did. I watched all the videos, very cool. Work with muscles, little shown. I'm just learning to sculpt from your videos. And a lot of muscle problems.
Loved the video Tom! I just have a little question (well, it's a few) since I want to get started with sculpting: How did you get started with sculpting? What were the first things you sculpted or what would you recomend to start with? Thanks in advance.
Hi Aaron. This is a topic for a video I plan on doing. Short answer is, I love minis and wanted to make my own. I’d suggest starting to sculpt a non-human. It’s much easier since the proportions don’t have to be exact. My first mini was a little goblin guy.
Had to scan through the video to remember how I did this one, HAHA. In this case, the entire miniature is still uncooked and can be manipulated (or messed up). The reason I did it that way was because I was sculpting the hands out of clay as well. But you can totally bake the mini and add the hands later. That's actually the normal way I do it unless the hands are on the larger size.
I use FIMO Classic (now called FIMO Pro I believe). I like the consistency of FIMO better and it smooths very nicely. SS works as well so if you prefer that, then have at it.
I do all of the FIMO sculpting at once then do a single bake. After that I may add some bits with green stuff or procreate putty, but there is no further baking required. Thanks for the question.
Thank you for answering, very impressed by your work! Do you have videos of how you make your amazing detail pieces, like bullet straps I saw on one of your characters. Thanks for your time!
On this figure, none of the FIMO is baked yet. Once I complete all FIMO sculpting, I bake the mini. Also, you can always bake the mini when there is greenstuff. The baking process does not effect it.
exactly what i am looking for! thank you (and your current patrons)!
Glad it helped. Thanks!
This is soooooo impresive! Very detailed.
Thank you. Hope it helps!

Wow, that is awesome! It will really bring your campaign to life. Love it!
Awesome tutorials thanks a lot. I've been wanting to give sculpting a try for a long time but never knew how. Until now.
That's awesome Graham! Get started and keep going.
Mind blowing work
Thanks!
Just started sculpting nearly done my first miniature just need to do the hands and head, the hardest parts
That’s awesome. Hopefully you’ve done those parts by now :)
@@TomMasonSculptor Yes I have and i'm just starting my next one now
Thank you for the video, please make a video how to make a belt on such a model, or something similar
Thanks Lickan. I actually have 2 videos on this subject. Though they are older ones. Search my channel for Belts and Buckles.
I really did. I watched all the videos, very cool. Work with muscles, little shown. I'm just learning to sculpt from your videos. And a lot of muscle problems.
impresionante muy buen tutorial
Thanks!
Can you show the mold and cast process? Great job, its amazing. Greetings from Brasil!
It is on the list. I hope to cover this sooner than later.
Thanks for watching!
Do you wait for the greenstuff to cure before applying the layer of fimo?
Great question. I look forward to answering it in the upcoming Q&A.
Tom , you're really good with details. Such precise lines, wow.
How many years you do miniatures ?
Thanks for the video!
Thanks! I've been sculpting since the summer of 2002.
What type and brand of clay are you using in this video? thanks
FIMO Professional. I mix white and black together to get that nice gray.

Please Tom, where do you biy the tools to sculpt?
Misterart.com for colour shapers and my website thetommason.com for the Wax #5
Super glue accelerator is my freind :)
hi Tom. Nice tutorial. Quick Question: is the base girl cured or do you take the risk of ruining the miniature with a tool or something?
Had to scan through the video to remember how I did this one, HAHA. In this case, the entire miniature is still uncooked and can be manipulated (or messed up). The reason I did it that way was because I was sculpting the hands out of clay as well. But you can totally bake the mini and add the hands later.

What Fumo do you use,and how come you don't use super sculpey
I use FIMO Classic (now called FIMO Pro I believe). I like the consistency of FIMO better and it smooths very nicely. SS works as well so if you prefer that, then have at it.
so do you bake the piece as you add details to the figure?
I do all of the FIMO sculpting at once then do a single bake. After that I may add some bits with green stuff or procreate putty, but there is no further baking required.
Thanks for the question.
Thank you for answering, very impressed by your work! Do you have videos of how you make your amazing detail pieces, like bullet straps I saw on one of your characters. Thanks for your time!
Thanks! I don't have any on the finer details yet, but they are definitely in the works.
Here you add a fimo hand to a greenstuff sabre. Now you cant bake it because of the greenstuff, but how do you make that fimo hand go solid?
On this figure, none of the FIMO is baked yet. Once I complete all FIMO sculpting, I bake the mini. Also, you can always bake the mini when there is greenstuff. The baking process does not effect it.
sir what clay do you use?
good day!
I use FIMO Classic. Although I think they changed the name to FIMO Professional.
Thanks!
Epoxy putty???
Fimo sorry
