3D Printing Army Men

[@TheGeneralMoe114]

You have achieved critical mass. TP paint them, your should probably use a spray paint that holds to plastic. It will apply an even enough coat that hides the layers, but doesn't smother the details on the soldiers.

[@NimProductions]

Yea I don’t have that tho

[@TheGeneralMoe114]

@@NimProductions Yeah, but just buy some. Any tool shop or whatever seems them, once you have a can life becomes so much easier. You will be like "Hey, this thing is pretty great! Why didn't i do it sooner? That's Great!"

[@NimProductions]

I have black and white paint spray paint that’s it

[@d.o.f.t.1578]

Use acrylic paint

[@PineappleSyrup]

time to make an army of soldiers now

[@Cincinnatifamily]

You have really inspired my son Crosley. He loves your channel, wants to make army men videos and wants us to make our own army men with a 3D printer.

[@DragonixBeys]

Cool

[@adrianevans7508]

Same here

[@f.d.6667]

Thanks for putting up this detailed vid. As a toy designer and art teacher (!), I too was amazed to find that nobody is printing their Green Army Men. I mean with the Toy Story movies out, even LEGO made their variant... I was surprised to see that Netflix' "The Toys That Made Us" hasn't covered the classic Bucket of Soldiers yet. Probably a phenomenon of our time where slaughtering zombies in a game is ok but a warped "gun" the size of half a matchstick is sending parents into panic mode. BTW: great approach to problem-solving! ...

[@NimProductions]

Thanks for the feed back, I’m glad to see people other than kids watch my videos

[@Toasted_Failure]

"I recommend not trying to print tanks" Says the guy who litterally recreated the M60 boley tank like this is incredible how you have improved so much

[@thelucondrix391]

As someone who used to play with lead and tin armymen, and later the plastic armymen, I love this. And yeah, for future reference most teachers in that area don't help much, it's a thing that is mostly trail and error. I took CAD in college, and it's basically the same. XD

[@ovizcarra8667]

the "nazi toy sodliers' are actually british and thier by steve weston toy soldiers

[@RHNGaming]

oscar vizcarra innit, that actually really annoys me they've labelled it that tbh

[@jeffersonfan393]

Thx for putting in the time and effort to 3D model the army men over if you can’t print them. I will be printing them if I can (my local libraries have 3D printers people can use for free) so thx a lot

[@privatemcguffin1537]

Interesting indeed...

[@Darg0rTSL]

i loved this toys simple yet very effective to entertain you my cousin and i had a cowboys and Indians set it was great

[@cb3391]

My young friend, Army men obsessed since 74 Timmee rules. Keep filming

[@himselfadam8093]

Not bothered what anyone says about your vid I learned more about 3d printers from your vid than all the others I have watched thank you.

[@chazcoronado3563]

I think a good idea for 3d printing Army Men would be 3d printing the characters from the 3DO Army Men series like Sargent Hawk, General Plastro, and more 👌

[@CallofPlastic]

Back in the day.

Thats my dream to make my own army men. Nice video toy soldiers fan!

2:43 fun fact that happened to me too but it was sketch up is harder

[@thatsalotofsodiumcoins1615]

That is why legos are so amazing for stop motion films

[@NimProductions]

But they are more time consuming to film

[@Lego501st]

This video is educational and hilarious👍🏼 Great video brother

[@greenbannerproductions3641]

People think I like playing with army men like dolls. I DON'T LIKE PLAYING WITH THEM BUT MAKING FILMS. Their feeble minds just don't understand. Edit: thx for th likes (the most i ever got)

[@Sgt-lott10]

Warrior 347 Studios I know

[@greenbannerproductions3641]

Thx

[@Sgt-lott10]

the stop animation is so cool...and funny.

[@colebailey]

The fact you made that on tinker cad astounds me

[@williammellethin10210]

Thank you for showing me how I love this video

[@rockonnotman1699]

It's funny I was think about this the other day in my 3d printing class

[@putrid.p]

For the complex STL files that you couldn’t open in tinkercad, often/sometimes it’s possible to reduce the polygon count in a mesh editor without degrading its appearance. I use meshlab, meshmixer can probably do it too. Once you’ve reduced the polygon count enough tinkercad should be able to handle it.

[@NimProductions]

I know but it was a little too complex to included into the video but i know u can do it

[@thomasstolfi665]

Ya know if you bole them in very hot water they soften enough to change most pose’s. Then run under cold water . To stiffen the figure into new pose. 3D printer looks like fun to make new poses. But what you really need are better quality plastic toy soldiers. Those your using are knock-offs of the better ones. But your not crazy 😜. Lots of people are into the hobby. Cool video 👍🏿

[@Error-pe3rq]

Everyone in my school knows the fact that I have army men and they say, "bruh this is the kid with his little soldiers!". So I just respond with something simple. (One of the lines i used) "well, I mean EVERYONE has to have a great hobby right?"

[@NimProductions]

yessss

[@Anthony-ob5ih]

Stay you man i support you all the way

[@hamiburgerdoesstuff4996]

The first 15 seconds of the vid is highly relatable lol

[@rwcowell]

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to 3D sculpting and printing. I would recommend that you prime the figures first, before painting them with acrylics. Cheers!

[@pete8299]

Some of these army men look way different than the ones I grew up playing. Mine were the generic old 1950s models with the Korean war era poses

Just getting into Army Men Stop Motion and was looking for a way to make custom poses. Thanks for this 4 years later. Lol. By chance do you have a link to the TinkerCad online file with the parts already seperated? Or is that in the linked mediafile?

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

Alright if you say I can’t make a tank I’m gonna 3d print a KV-2, Katyusha rocket launcher and KV-6

[@bengroce7973]

Thanks man! I'll try this out

[@o_sch]

Now I think I’m going to buy a 3D printer. (Don’t worry I’ll use it for lots of other things too) and some glossy paint. Maybe in the future I’ll get a 3D pen to help clean up the soldiers seams myself. Any good suggestion on a printer? I don’t want to spend a lot as I’ll only be printing small things like this.

I’d say the ender 3

[@3dprintwiz378]

Learn blender man, it's hard at the start, but when you get use to it, you can pose and position any character you want the right way. By the way you made me lough, and I just want to say, I think my family thinks of me the same way, but makers make, not matter what. Keep it up.

Yo comrade, you can change their position by melting them for abstract positions like falling out of a tank etc, hope this helps!

[@youngcruzer2823]

I love army men

[@FernandoRojas-du3sg]

I have experience painting plastic soldiers, you must get the figs printed first with printing paint or other hard paints with spirits base in order to paint with the acrylics smoothly.

[@Franco.Tarantula]

Please make a new version of this video

[@o_sch]

I wonder if I could design a way to make the guns interchangeable and maybe even joints on the soldiers. Or maybe I could design accessories for them too.

[@sammywest2583]

I play with 3d modling all the time, and its really not as hard as you make it out to be. If you think making armymen is hard, then you are going probably the high poly route, rather then the low poly. Poly is polygons, or how many vertices are with in the mesh. with 3d animation, its fairly easy to make stuff. It just takes practice. If you think something is hard, its just because you haven't practiced enough and learned the functionality of the program you work with.

[@ForeverTributesNL]

That teacher sounds like a real jerk. Nice video mate.

[@radicalelias9709]

From an arcade when I was like 10, I got lots of tickets from the arcade until I saw the army men toys that it would cost 5 tickets, guess what me and my cousin, but 100 of them is that crazy or what 😳

[@KrXFnnTMIFdrM7kDIyAPg]

This is a comment from five euros later but I love this video so much and I’ve been watching this channel for 10 years or something like that but just so you know you don’t have to use a plastic army men model you can use a basic human model and then download props like helmets, guns and other equipment and then scale it to size you can find a lot more human models than army men models that are free if you’re on a budget, I actually did this by using a Donald Trump model, cutting its hair off and replacing it with a helmets and then giving it weapons in a backpack
