3D printers can’t and likely will never show the precision that Adam brings to the table

[@ireadysucks3026]

@@reticuluminfirma9407 more like non-precision. part of why his stuff looks so good is because it’s not all perfect. there’s uneven texturing, etc etc. you can’t get that with a 3d printer

That florescent orange actually works pretty well in my opinion. Certainly the extra energy bits were well worth the effort.

Personally, I think the fluorescent orange spike on Knuckles add a bit of really interesting color variation that helps the model pop! 💥 An honor to be a new Patron on such a cool build ☆

[@trueshadowlover63]

those extra last pieces really turned on the slay button for this sculpture

[@Pistazien]

How do you make your clay so malleable? Mine always breaks apart so easily

[@ghoultooth]

Work it in your hands as much as possible, the warmer it is- the softer it will typically be.

[@azuroslazuli6948]

Yeah, always warm the clay first. Or just use Sculpey. I understand it works like ceramic clay.

[@roubs_gvg]

really cool features as always, you do ! The only thing that I find kinda weird is knuckles : especially the mouth. I'm not saying it to frustrate you or anything (my opinion, others might say it's cool or else idk) but it feels kinda weird, but it's a good work man and keep on doing this !

[@dragonburrito527]

The fluorescent paint is geniuse

[@Lucian_Andries]

Dude, the fluorescent paint made everything 1000 times better!!!!

[@KyleLeeman]

broooo those last tweaks took this from really cool to absolutely AMAZING.

[@deaconaligood]

Now what truly made this amazing was the fact he spelt Knuckles as Nukles and Sonic as Sanic

[@mattterrell4304]

This is why youtube needs a "love" button

[@elliejohnson2786]

There's a part of me that mourns the fact that we didn't get to see Adam sculpt a proper Sonic. But then again, seeing a goofy glowy spike ball is also pretty satisfying
