Oh Crafsman, you can't put "Green" and "Miniature" in a title and not expect the Warhammer 40K Ork players to come in here all excited and such!

As a kid who grew up building models and fighting with essential tremors, thanks for acknowledging your shaky hands and not letting it deter you. There were times I’d mess something up and get really down on myself about it. You set a great example for people of all ages!

TIPS for SUCCESS (avoid frustration with Green Stuff!): ► Work in LAYERS! Sculpt a bit, set aside and let it cure, sculpt some more. Take your time with SMALL BITES and you'll avoid working under panic or stress. ► Work WET! Have a cup of water to dip fingers in, especially while mixing. Use a very thin, rubbed-in amount of petroleum jelly on tools or fingertips in extra sticky situations. ► If in a HURRY, use HEAT! Consider OVEN curing or, as I did to lessen cure time, a HEAT GUN. ► MAGNIFY that MIN! As shown in a few of the montage shots, I had head-worn magnifiers on for the finer details. If you've never worked with magnification, try it - because if something looks halfway decent zoomed IN, it'll look wholeway decent zoomed OUT. ► EVEN THAT MESS OUT! I almost didn't apply the Liquid Green Stuff, but I'm glad I did. I think that's when the whole thing came together, and some mistakes were hidden. TIPS for TAKING it FURTHER: ► MIX it UP! Consider mixing GREEN STUFF with MILLIPUT, PROCREATE, or other epoxy mediums to achieve a less "bubblegum" consistency. ► Get SHARP! For this video, I did a majority of the sculpting with a size 0 flat/chisel silicone shaper tool, and this shows in the soft, more ROUNDY features. But I think you'll get better results if you think like a wax carver, in terms of laying in material and making *cuts* with sharper tools.

KZfaq algorithm was doing me dirty there for a while, but bringing this channel to my attention was such a win. Crafsman is just so wonderful to watch and listen to

The crafting you have done to your show over time is inspiring in itself.

What a fantastic mini!!! Lovely video as always Crafsman - thanks for including me =]

As someone who has shaky hands, this is genuinely one of the most inspirational videos, by one of the most inspirational people, on the entire internet. It reminds me that being Steady is not a state of physical being, but instead, a state of mind. Keep on Craftin’ Steady, Crafsman!

Crafsman and miniatures go together like peanut butter and jelly. Love the sculpt and the video, Crafsman!

great job on your mini Crafsman! Now go cast it and gimme one.

Damn Crafsman, I started out making miniatures for our DnD games like this, from scratch with greenstuff, and I always felt like I just couldn't get the finesse and level of detail I wanted. So I've started "cheating", by modifying minis that I find in the hobby store - but you've just inspired me to go back to basics and make my original designs from scratch again! Just gorgeous. Never seen a mini with so much personal style!

This is incredible!!!

This is an amazing sculpt at any scale, but that clean, so tiny?! Amazing! Lovely video as always, this is a mighty tempting material to try out

Dang man I don't know how people can sculpt stuff so small. That turned out great!!

Crafsman swooping in again to save me from creative frustration. Seeing this gave me just the tips I needed to get me going again (waiting a bit for the green stuff to destickify, working a little more patiently, forming vs. trying to cut). Thanks, Crafsman!

Crafsman, I just wanted to thank you for always being a positive influence on the KZfaq platform. A lot of content creators on this site have been doing some terrible things, SSSniperwolf and Ephemeral Rift being two prominent examples. I know that sort of drama isn't your speed, but it really does mean a lot to me that I can always come to your videos to de-stress. We love you, and keep oooonnnnnn steady craftin!

Beautiful minifigure, Crafsman. Sadly, my eyesight isn't up to making stuff like this anymore, but I'm happy to enjoy watching you create wonderful wee figures like this, for hours. Thank you!

I do a bit of mini sculpting, and I get a great modelling medium by mixing 50/50 Procreate (like green stuff but grey) and Miliput. The result is less brittle than Miliput, and less 'chewing-gummy' than greenstuff!

Love how you demonstrate how you learn about the material. The process of learning to learn is so important and so easily overlooked!

I'd love to see this little guy return in a painting video.

the insane level of production value is under appreciated

I could not do miniatures in the same fashion as people, like you, create them. You have more patience than me.

It's been really busy at work the past few weeks and I've been stressed out, running around all day. This was very relaxing for me to just sit back, decompress and chill. Thanks Crafsman, you da' best. ☺

Feels like the old CrafsMan is back, showing us how to build stuff. Thank you CrafsMan!

I love watching these, and seeing the little un-acknowledged techniques/problem solving that people figure out. Like making the scope for the rifle, you placed the styrene tube on a drill bit and laid it on a sanding sponge to hold it steady to scrape a side down to glue it nice and stable. *chefs kiss*

Crafsman, you are such a treasure! You never cease to inspire me to try things that have intimidated me for so long.

i'd skipped this initially. But the next vid on hoses&cables referenced back here & i got interested.

All those years you've put into crafting really shine in videos like this

I've been a freelance miniature sculptor for almost 20 years and it's cool to see you use the same techniques as you try stuff out. I can't stand greenstuff myself and only use it when I have to so you got my respect for sticking with it and getting a mini completed, I've seen others interested in trying this just give up rather than deal with Kneadatite.

It's only a matter of time before a Space marine project hits your desk. I'm here for it 😁

This channel is such a gem. I go piece by piece, slowly just like you do, so what I'm saying is thanks for the videos. 👍

Oh boy! Sculpting! Cameos! Heroic scale!

Perfect 5/7 cameo! 🥳❤️👍🏿

I just found you and subscribed. You are an extremely intelligent person that talks to me like I am 4, but a very smart 4 year old. I love it. You say exactly what I need to know minus a bunch of extraneous talk. Every word has value, and you are simultaneously entertaining. Everyone making DIY videos needs to watch you.

This is great, Crafsman. I wondered if I could just make figures out of Green Stuff...

Crafsman be steady craftin his way straight into our hearts. Thanks, Crafsman

If you ever miss produced a miniature like this I would paint one in a HEARTBEAT

CrafsMan is like Hennessy🍾 and cool jazz🎶.. Going to get some Monster Clay myself.. Keep on keeping on and craftin..

Heck yeah Craft Man! 🤘

im not finished watching yet and its already the coolest thing ive seen someone do by hand! awesome job!

That kind of detail in such a tiny sculpt is amazing. I love how you're always trying something new. Fyi Hecate = heck ah TEE

Sweet sculpt and ah particularly appreciate the awesome soundtrack you produced for this one! Ultra tight work, Crafsman, thank you.

Turned out great, buddy. Love the rifle!

your work makes me smile real big. enjoyable to watch and listen to.

You are really showing off now! Your sculpting skills are impressive.

Crafsman you are awesomely talented! The patience it must have taken to create this amazing miniature. Keep up the great work! All the very best wishes 😊👍

This looks so good! And I really appreciate the narration of the process, I've wanted to sculpt some guys from scratch for a long time

Crafpuppet, no wonder you tremble after that amazing sculpt! Who knows how many hours that took, yet you make it look so do-able. Hope you get some rest.

This a masterpiece Crafsman.. seriously one of my favorite things you've done so far. So much skill.

The very last blooper I was 100% waiting for the “C’mon, gimme a hand” pun to the handless mini figure

Soooo cool. And great music, as always, Crafsman.

Really love the details you always manage to get. Especially with such tiny things. Also your little joke at the end about your shakeyness made me giggle.

I didn't want to spend money on a new set of silicone brushes, so I just made some using some de-haired brush bodies, with heads made of the green stuff itself coated in a bit of petro jelly. Worked surprisingly excellently.

Like the je ne sais mohawk! And we don't mind your shaky shaky - don't even worry about it! Love to you and the whole CrafsFamily.

Crafsman! Ana is the best, so nice you're a fan of her too! : D

Thanks for letting us chill with you, CrafsMan.

Super fun. Immediately made me think of Air Raiders!!! My favorite 80’s miniatures.

Craftman you make things look so easy !!! And i love your soothing voice ! Not to mention all your projects keep up the great work !! And THANK YOU !

CrafsMan you are the best. Thank you.

Crafsman, that music track during the sketch scene is amazing! You always make great tracks but that one is *chef's kiss*

Oh my good-diddly-goodness!!! I needed this sooo much!! Thank you!!!

No one gonna talk about the shaky hand joke at the end😭😭😭 love ya crafsman 🧡

Wow, that mini came out lookin' SO GOOD!

That’s how I look when I wanna do some crafting today, too! 😄😄😄

Been sculptingnmynown minies for a year with your vids in the background really excited for this episode and I hope to see you expand it on it.

Peace and love back at ya, Crafsman!

Watching your channel is like bathing in a river with a bear that scrubs your back for you

30 seconds in and already love it.

Amazing work. I love how you give credits to those who inspired you and that you always come up with something new. You are such an inspiration.

Amazing work. But since you've introduced me to the magic of apoxy sculpt, i haven't gone back. Its SOOO useful

A crafsman video dropping while I'm at work. This is exactly what I needed to power me through the day.

Great work on your miniature, Crafsman. Never heard of Gardens of Hecate until now, amazing stuff. Those Grobnik guys are too cool, they look like little Giger people.

Thank you for a moment of gentle in a time of harsh.

Im sure its already been mentioned but I really like a combo of green stuff and epoxy sculpt or milliput white. Seems to be a magic formula for me.

50% Greenstuff and 50% Milliput will give you the best of both worlds. A lot of scultors are starting to use both as Greenstuff on it's own can be quite hard to sculpt.

WIcked mini, an some chill beats, always a 10/10 with TheCraftsman.

You’re a gift, thank you for doing what you do

Inspiring! Started my own channel because of you, Miscast and Bill Making Stuff.

I'm amazed you can do work that fine while wearing gloves.

Lol I figured gaslands would open the door to other tabletop stuff. I'm planning to try my hand at making some Mordheim and Necromunda figures so all of this info is super useful! Thank you Crafsman!

that miniature looks really cool I really enjoyed watching the process

Always love me some craftime with da crafman oh good stuff

SteadyCrafsman, you got skillz!

Far out CrafsMan. Thank you as always. Would love to watch you paint him.

Cool video! Also, thank you Crafsman for introducing me to The Tired Craftsman, I love his tutorials and is he super friendly too.

Good job! Always looking foward to what you come up with next!

I had to rewind and double check the “inspiration bag” because I had that little space guy with the grey suit and orange helmet. No idea what it was from but it gave me nostalgia seeing it again.

You da man!

That music got really good and abnormal at the end, I diggity dig it 👍

Looks absolutely sick!!

1:42 that's my favorite pen, writes notes on my arm just as easy as any piece of paper.

I'm a bit of a shaker too. And working in such a small scale is hard. Holy! You nailed it, Crafsman.

I started using Pilot V5/7 in middle school, about 30 years ago now. Still my go to pen for everything.

one of the best miniature sculpting videos that I have seen. Not only did you show xto use green stuff, but how you made the styrene rifle was cool too. Great job of giving props to the channel that you got your inspiration from. I will check out Ana's channel now.

That’s friggen sweet!!

Man I am SO glad I found your Channel! Fuqin rock on Craftsman!

You my friend are amazing! Thanks so much for the amazing tutorial, I'm new to the figure building hobby and this was EXTREMELY helpful

BoomShakalaka! craftsman, thank you for another inspiring video 📹 🙏 ❤️

thank you for doing this Craftsman.

Crafsman, this video is fantastic! As somone who paint minis, kitbashes, and uses green stuff, millaput, brown stuff, and blue stuff I still learned something by watching you, plus this was just cool to see. This vid is one of my favorites. I'm currently repurposing a heroclix Hulk into a barbarian with the Arby's hat and a silly mustache for our famil DND campaign, and sculpting has been my favorite part of it. It is coming along, but this video really inspired me to finish that up and start something completely from scratch with armature wire and green stuff. Thank you Crafsman for making this video, and I'd love to see you expand on this concept too. Some ideas are to paint this mini, perhaps sculpt more space minis, and even do a space diorama with the figures in it. Just some ideas, but I love all the content you make. Thanks again Crafsman. 😊

Been wanting to try miniature making for a while to add some unmade characters to a collection of figures I bought. Thanks for sharing.
