[@muitongkapppi]

Cool

[@GeanGetSetGo]

10:50 that stop motion was so smooth

[@isn0t42]

I used to make miniature swords out of ice cream sticks at one period in my life.

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Amazing creativity! The fight sequence at the end was awesome too, love that sword break animation

[@Falco5623]

Do you think you can make a scythe tutorial

[@John-cw9bt]

Very nice......good tutorial. Your walking sequences in the animation are very realistic. Cheers

[@Hsjsududswhsjdjxizzioao]

You deserve way more attention than you get sir, I loved the way you narrated and explained that :)

[@JacobFoust]

Cool! :D

[@keitalin8368]

The animation was soooo cool broo

[@capkds]

Wow! A great tutorial for such and unexpected theme! For some reason I’ve never thought about folding the paper, what I did was using a stencil which was left from the first layer for the blade, and then duplicate it as much as I need. Yet, maybe that’s because of the type of paper I use, it’s more solid than a common printing paper. Yet, the tutorial is very entertaining and useful! Thank you!

[@sherjoshuamendoza113]

Ilove this tutorial, I also like to know &learn how you make a paper miniature armour/armor

[@thisisadudehi6201]

[@pyro._.laylaginger]

[@ivancho-]

[@tosinstudent4617]

Hey can someone explain how he made the saya because i also want to make it but i am having problems because i dont know how to make it

[@Abstraxtudio]

Hi Tosin Student, if you're still looking for ways to make the Saya, I've made a more detailed explanation at 5.40 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipzMnpqQhLx1sJI I know it took awhile to upload and hope this makes up for it.

[@daffiarya2476]

what glue are you using?

[@Abstraxtudio]

A regular PVA glue

[@daffiarya2476]

@@Abstraxtudio ok thx

[@daffiarya2476]

Im gona make it right away

[@TomScreve-qf2mc]

Can you make a tiny odachi

[@minianimations2256]

Your craftsmanship and creativity is amazing. Your ingenuity in creating something from everyday materials is really something. I also adored that fight sequence at the end. The part where body chan broke apart body kun's blade, with all the individual pieces in slow motion was just buttery smooth. Did you have to individually use stands for each piece as they were flying through the air? And you use of clear, still wide shots really made the action dynamic and easy to follow. The transitions were also smooth with the sheet of paper being used as a distraction by body chan. How long did it take you to animate the fight sequence? Still, thank you for your hard work on this video! Hope to see more!

[@Abstraxtudio]

Glad you've enjoyed the video. I used a low profile wooden skewer for the smaller pieces so they wouldn't cast big shadows. The animation took a few days to plan and a week or so to animate.

[@mohammadalamin7247]

how do you cut them with a cutter after applying glue and how come the tsuba and the katanakake thick

[@MzwandileHadebe-mg1ni]

Does a 7.5cm paper work ???

[@Abstraxtudio]

It should. Though it might be a little smaller or thinner if you're making a long ones. Either way, it can be done.

[@MzwandileHadebe-mg1ni]

Thanks

[@claymadebruh4523]

Bro didnt struggle

[@treymcclure4645]

[@herobreakingamez9695]
