Hello, this is very cool, how would you recommend getting into such a hobby? Is polymer clay and stuff expensive? do you need a proper kiln? stuff like that.

Oh geez.. I've defeated Calamity Ganon three times, but I don't think I've ever realized exactly how much of an absolutely monstrous abomination he is. Well done like always!

[@katedp7825]

Yeah, he's so easy to defeat once you master flurry rushes and parrying. A lynel is harder than Ganon. But lynels are still easy.

[@tophatdat1075]

I've defeated him 4 times. Twice to show off to my friends! xD

Botw was my first game and when i first saw him i was so scared, i thought this was going to be the hardest boss in the zelda series based on his skull face, amalgamation design... Then he was the easiest boss out of the entire series, which is a good thing for me 😅

[@thefishysalmon8749]

Yes! Now I can ignore the fact that I’m putting off fighting Ganon by watching videos whilst doing every single side quest before the main story!

That's nothing, I 100%-ed Botw and then (almost) 100%-ed Age of Calamity and now I'm *finally* going to (eventually) beat Ganon in Botw.

This model is absolutely amazing! I love the intricate details on Ganon, and tiny Link’s master sword, along with the other resin parts on Ganon give off a nice “glowy” illusion. Although the main sword on Ganon seems a bit too short, this still looks absolutely amazing. Love your content; keep up the beautiful work!

First time viewer here... Holy crap, this is amazing! I used to get excited about working with Sculpy in art class in high school, but we never made anything even remotely as intricate as this. Lots of cool techniques I've never even thought of (like the armatures).

[@ladysunny9681]

Great work as always! I'm super impressed and I can only wonder. How can you keep being patient enough to build these detailed sculptures?

[@rebeccaimmel4160]

Pro tip from a polymer chemist: you are right. Acrylated polymers like you were using can’t fully cure in the presence of oxygen. Covering with a layer of water is a neat idea, but there’s another technique that works. After zapping it with your uv light, wipe the surface of your polymer with an ethanol or IPA dampened lint-free cotton cloth. The alcohol quenches the reaction and removes the top-most layer of molecules, leaving behind only those that were cured without exposure to oxygen. The benefit here is that alcohol is crazy volatile and evaporates way faster than water. Excellent work, as always. I love your videos!!

[@jaczylijaaleniepowiemkto3243]
