Those look great!

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Glad you like them!

[@sculptdude]

Brilliant sir! These little goblins have to be my favorite sculpts of yours. Awesome work on painting the demo models. Looking forward to seeing you at the show.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thank you Patrick! I never had more fun then sculpting the goblins. Very excited to be doing more in the near future.

[@johnkelley9877]

I like Blueberry Bandits too! The figures look great and I hope you are a big success at the show.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thanks John!

[@trashcanhands]

Tom! I'm so excited about this video! You're awesome for doing this. Ill have to think of some good questions to leave. Thanks for sparking my love of sculpting minis.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thank you!

[@RoberttheFox0001]

Great video Tom. I'm looking forward to talking to you about The Goblin Menace at Adeptacon.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Can't wait!

[@xenoserum]

One day I'll manage to get to that show... I hope

[@TomMasonSculptor]

It's a great show. Super well run and you can't beat the miniature focus across so many genres.

[@xenoserum]

yeah I'm over in the UK so once I can sort my money stuff out I'll be over there.@@TomMasonSculptor

Hi Tom. I've been watching your channel for 8 years since myth boss Ali and I'm currently on my own freelance mini sculpting journey. You've been a constant source of inspiration for me and I've always loved your channel. What would you say your character concept worklow looks like? How long do you spend in the idea phase and so on?

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thanks for the question. Hope you caught the answer in the live stream.

[@sinistercraft3577]

Tom, i expect to see some video of the game being played at Adepticon also some of the players feedback.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

I have a little baby tripod and mic packed up. I'm excited to record as. Hope I don't forget during all the fun!

[@funwithmadness]

Wow! I had forgotten about that Yahoo group! Good luck at Adepticon! Some day I hope to get there but it's not happening this year.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

I hope so too! And yeah, 1listsculpting was awesome.

[@xenoserum]

Blueberry Bandits for the win... My question would be how would you sculpt lightning without making it look chunky

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Hope you caught the live stream! Blueberry Bandits it is. And I answered your question.

[@xenoserum]

@@TomMasonSculptor Cought most of it but fell asleep as was late in the UK. Need to watch the end. And awesome enjoyed the live stream

[@fernandoarrellaga6035]

Hi, so, I live in a country where there is no sculpting 'resources' I made my own tools and I use a 10min ( more like 5 ) epoxi putty that is for repairing things not sculpting but for the things I have done in the past works great ( big monsters ) and I'm very happy with my results. I tried to make a miniature (32 mm scale) and i failed horrible, do you think it is possible to sculpt with something like that? And if so, how would you approach it?

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Hope you caught the live stream and heard the answer to your question.

[@fernandoarrellaga6035]

@@TomMasonSculptor yes! Thanks you a lot

[@robk5865]

I build 1/72 scale model planes and no model manufacturers ever include pilots in their kits for that scale. I have every desire to sculpt seated pilots (I display my planes in-flight) but I have no idea how to scale things properly. I need a template to lay some tiny bits of wire on and get a skeleton going at least. The rest will be a comedy of errors, I'm sure.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thanks for the question. Hope you caught the answer in the live stream.

@@TomMasonSculptor 15 mm all up height will work. Currently looking at "seated figures" to figure out proportions for femur/calf length....for details no one will even see with the cockpit canopy closed (but I'll know those details are there) 😅
