time to make an army of soldiers now

You have achieved critical mass. TP paint them, your should probably use a spray paint that holds to plastic. It will apply an even enough coat that hides the layers, but doesn't smother the details on the soldiers.

"I recommend not trying to print tanks" Says the guy who litterally recreated the M60 boley tank like this is incredible how you have improved so much

You have really inspired my son Crosley. He loves your channel, wants to make army men videos and wants us to make our own army men with a 3D printer.

the "nazi toy sodliers' are actually british and thier by steve weston toy soldiers

Thx for putting in the time and effort to 3D model the army men over if you can’t print them. I will be printing them if I can (my local libraries have 3D printers people can use for free) so thx a lot

As someone who used to play with lead and tin armymen, and later the plastic armymen, I love this. And yeah, for future reference most teachers in that area don't help much, it's a thing that is mostly trail and error. I took CAD in college, and it's basically the same. XD

Thanks for putting up this detailed vid. As a toy designer and art teacher (!), I too was amazed to find that nobody is printing their Green Army Men. I mean with the Toy Story movies out, even LEGO made their variant... I was surprised to see that Netflix' "The Toys That Made Us" hasn't covered the classic Bucket of Soldiers yet. Probably a phenomenon of our time where slaughtering zombies in a game is ok but a warped "gun" the size of half a matchstick is sending parents into panic mode. BTW: great approach to problem-solving! ...

Not bothered what anyone says about your vid I learned more about 3d printers from your vid than all the others I have watched thank you.

My young friend, Army men obsessed since 74 Timmee rules. Keep filming

the grenadier is by a company called matchbox its in the us infantry set(1;32)

I printed the normal guy, and it was awesome!

Interesting indeed...

Some of these army men look way different than the ones I grew up playing. Mine were the generic old 1950s models with the Korean war era poses

People think I like playing with army men like dolls. I DON'T LIKE PLAYING WITH THEM BUT MAKING FILMS. Their feeble minds just don't understand. Edit: thx for th likes (the most i ever got)

For the complex STL files that you couldn’t open in tinkercad, often/sometimes it’s possible to reduce the polygon count in a mesh editor without degrading its appearance. I use meshlab, meshmixer can probably do it too. Once you’ve reduced the polygon count enough tinkercad should be able to handle it.

You made many in one, your smart i never think about that

Myth. Your army men are excessive. Fact. This channel is underated

I wonder if I could design a way to make the guns interchangeable and maybe even joints on the soldiers. Or maybe I could design accessories for them too.

I think a good idea for 3d printing Army Men would be 3d printing the characters from the 3DO Army Men series like Sargent Hawk, General Plastro, and more 👌

This video is educational and hilarious👍🏼 Great video brother

Thank you for showing me how I love this video

Ya know if you bole them in very hot water they soften enough to change most pose’s. Then run under cold water . To stiffen the figure into new pose. 3D printer looks like fun to make new poses. But what you really need are better quality plastic toy soldiers. Those your using are knock-offs of the better ones. But your not crazy 😜. Lots of people are into the hobby. Cool video 👍🏿

Everyone in my school knows the fact that I have army men and they say, "bruh this is the kid with his little soldiers!". So I just respond with something simple. (One of the lines i used) "well, I mean EVERYONE has to have a great hobby right?"

i loved this toys simple yet very effective to entertain you my cousin and i had a cowboys and Indians set it was great

The fact you made that on tinker cad astounds me

2:43 fun fact that happened to me too but it was sketch up is harder

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to 3D sculpting and printing. I would recommend that you prime the figures first, before painting them with acrylics. Cheers!

i legit thought about this during school and now this was in my recomended

Now I think I’m going to buy a 3D printer. (Don’t worry I’ll use it for lots of other things too) and some glossy paint. Maybe in the future I’ll get a 3D pen to help clean up the soldiers seams myself. Any good suggestion on a printer? I don’t want to spend a lot as I’ll only be printing small things like this.

YOU ARE A GENIUS, REALLY GREAT THANKS.

the stop animation is so cool...and funny.

Thats my dream to make my own army men. Nice video toy soldiers fan!

Yo comrade, you can change their position by melting them for abstract positions like falling out of a tank etc, hope this helps!

nicely done

I'm also obsessed with those

You my man do the work god needs to do.

Very well made video

Just getting into Army Men Stop Motion and was looking for a way to make custom poses. Thanks for this 4 years later. Lol. By chance do you have a link to the TinkerCad online file with the parts already seperated? Or is that in the linked mediafile?

Cool stuff

Nim: I am making army men Friends and family: wHy Do YoU nEeD tO mAkE eVeN mOrE Of ThEm?!?

Thanks man! I'll try this out

can you upload your soldiers, i wanna print them without wasting all the time creating them. Your good at this!

I have experience painting plastic soldiers, you must get the figs printed first with printing paint or other hard paints with spirits base in order to paint with the acrylics smoothly.

Nice job dude!

It's funny I was think about this the other day in my 3d printing class

Alright if you say I can’t make a tank I’m gonna 3d print a KV-2, Katyusha rocket launcher and KV-6

The first 15 seconds of the vid is highly relatable lol

I got a soldier poses that are so good!

Good memories.... the Type Of Vids I watched

This video is so funny! Good sense of modern humour...

I need the WHOLE WORLD OF ARMY MEN

The picture that you showed in the intro had the same army men as i did!

That is why legos are so amazing for stop motion films

Subbed 👍 Green Army Forever!

It’s a good idea,maybe company’s could sell the model right and a person could make there own using the right

good afternoon, what printer do you suggest getting to print army men? thank you

“The next thing is to add stands” My brain: STAR PLATINUM

Nice

The background music is good lol. Jazzy Erika and British Grenadiers.

we can all agree they are great for playing AND film

thanks for the help

Please make a new version of this video

Ooooh cool

You crazy boi!

haha i love it, gived me idea for projekt at school. you culd do full plate and put it on kinkerkad, that wuld be usefull :D

Are you going to make a t-54 international use

You should make casualty figures for all sides

Great video. Not going to lie if I had access to a 3d printer I would do this. School teacher can be strange beasts.

you should make a file with all the base parts of the "grenadier" so people can make them easier.

I make films with army men but I have not made one in quite a while. But it’s cool and my younger brother likes them lmao.

WHEN IS THE HOW TO ON THE JEEP COMING OUT YOU SAID SOON OVER A MONTH AGO DO IT !!!!! I NEED A JEEP FOR MY ARMY MEN !

this video is so nice

Love this guy he’s funny

Smart idea.

I play with 3d modling all the time, and its really not as hard as you make it out to be. If you think making armymen is hard, then you are going probably the high poly route, rather then the low poly. Poly is polygons, or how many vertices are with in the mesh. with 3d animation, its fairly easy to make stuff. It just takes practice. If you think something is hard, its just because you haven't practiced enough and learned the functionality of the program you work with.

I do poses but I don’t quite know the best ones

How old can I do 3-D printing? I’m only 11 in the six grade

When will you show the prints?

I have a question nim what did you’re going to do with the armymen with guns?

I can’t import the file to Tinkercad because it’s a .zip file. How do I fix this?

Good

I worked tinkercad when I was in my robotics school and I printed a tiger tank

That’s how you actually make a prototype

Teacher: you can’t make toy army men with guns Me: Oh Sorry I just thought this was AMERICA!

From an arcade when I was like 10, I got lots of tickets from the arcade until I saw the army men toys that it would cost 5 tickets, guess what me and my cousin, but 100 of them is that crazy or what 😳

Two things 1: do you want to some how trade army men 2: do you want to some how make a stop motion film together I know its stupid but cool I need more solders And would be cool to make a movie

I just realised you were using the Finnish song "säkkijärven polkka" for the background music and to that I say IS THIS A MADAFLIPIN WINTER WAR REFERENCE!

Love the yoga poses!

I was reading comments about you doing a 3d printing army men video

Couldn't you print models of any soldier if they're going to be painted? I'm sure there's a large selection of non Army Men soldiers that can be printed and painted green/tan etc

1:05 I hate these soldiers🤣. Amazing video bro

Just subbed

*Tries to 3D model an army man* Teacher: *sees un-realistic gun* Student: *Gets called down to the guidance office*

Sane un nade fun of for likeing toy soilders i mean there awsome and thanks for the tip

is the girls und panzer theme in the background or am i crazy

I love army men

Can you make video where you 3d print army Men?

The "Nazi Toy Soldier" looks more like British WWII lol

You should make 2 shotgun guys so that it looks like he pumped the action just an idea
