Genius, I actually used a popsicle stick for mines but used a hobby knife to shred the wood and make it more straw like. I then glued the shreds to give it a aged look. I also painted in a lighter brown and black washed it after. The black wash was very watered down I only wanted it to seep into the cracks. But that depends on how clean looking your figure design is. But this is ironic cause I used this very method of construction for my bruce lee figure.

It's great to see you active again. Hope that this will become a trend.

2 videos in 1 month? hope your schedule stays like this! loving the hats, very cool design

Super job! It's always fun to watch you work.

Awesome video. I'm no longer a 1:12/6'' fan. But this will be proper for my 1:6/12'' figures. Thanks for the share. I did one with metal. When it bends it sucks.

Hi I was watching you tip that was great. I also do a straw hat by follow you tip but a bit change something. Thanks for sharing a this good technique. I add this vdo link in my page to respect your credit. Thanks again have a nice day.

This is really good. I enjoyed your video and this is eye candy for action figure collectors of ninjas or fighters. Thanks so much! Keep the ideas flowing!

Another great tutorial my friend!

He's at it again. You could put the string through holes in the hat before you put the layers of tale are on so there is a mechanical and chemical connection and give a cleaner look.

You are awsome, I hope you will make General Grievous diorama some day or any rots diorama in 3.75 scale 😁

Awesome job, one thing you might want to try is mixing black paint with modpodge to seal it better and make it more durable and then you can paint over it.

Glad to see you back, Budgetjedi! Even happier to see you sharing Marvel Legends builds as I also have moved away from Star Wars to focus on ML.

Amazing. Love the creativity

Thank you I’ve been looking for a video like this

Best channel on youtube

These are really cool!!! I’d love to see more mini accessory tutorials, honestly!

Awesome, always love when you post!

Thanks! exactly what i was Looking for :D

Good stuff my friend

nice videos very resourceful

I use a slightly different process for mine. It's essentially the same, but I use the little starbucks/coffee cardboard holders because they have that corrugated texture that kind of look like straw once it's painted. This is awesome though, i think this should help me refine mine. Thanks!

Merry Christmas Buddy to you & your family!🎅🎄

Looking Awesome

great video bro!

I know you don’t do requests as often, but have you ever considered challenge yourself with Felucia from the Star Wars prequels? I think you would rock it!

Awesome

Keep up the great work !

I've been planning on making a Shinobi Mace Windu originally inspired by Brian Snook's render using an Articulated Icons ninja. This is perfect!

Awesome bro 👍 Also please do give links to the Action figures if possible 😊 Love your Videos 😎

hey budget jedi just a little request, you should do like a video showing off all your amazing star wars diorama kinda like a collection vid. life if you agree everyone

I would use cheesecloth or a very thin fabric to give the illusion of weaved straw texture. Instead of the tape

You know what might be cool… Use your same exact tech nique, but when you lay out your blue tape spray it with spray glue and glue some cheesecloth flat onto it... Might give it that weaved straw look

Btw you should also made a building with those bricks in the back

Thanks for this. I was wondering what to do about the hats for a diorama I am doing and you know what it's like if you over think something! I ended up with a total mental block...I am doing it in 1:6th but this could be used for any scale. I will have a look around your channel to see if there's anything else you do that I can use, in which case I will subscribe, and also to see if there's any tips I have that you could use. Thanks again

For your jubei a suggest using red elastic string for his harness

Thank you for this

Can you do a video on how to make that robe on Logan?? Loving it

Nice, did you make the Samurai Kimono dress?

I think that can also work with the straw mat you have

Cool 👍☯️👍

Good job fixing Mezco's cheapness.

you should make another batman arkham asylum diorama with killer croc then a one for mr freeze

Krazy glue is better. Super comes apart a bit. Or if heat catch the glued spot too much.

Jubei,👏👏👍

Very nice tutorial bro, i wanna ask about a blue tape. What type or what the name of tape when i search to the store?

Where did you get the outfits

Cool videos, but i need help of You experience, how i put battle damage (burns and rips) efects to My custom capes yo My Marvel Legends. Please iluminate me.
