How to Articulate A Paper Action Figure, Ep. 3 - The T-JOINT (Tutorial

[@Loosecannon16]

A quick contribution: you can make those joints using super glue (loctite) and card shims, with two benefits: the super glue hardens the paper and the shim allow a sleeker profile on joints like these.

[@andy-zr9sq]

I have a missing finger and with this tutorial i made a paper finger

[@PaperPatriot]

[@jaynm4448]

[@diearc.]

@@samuraiartph4102 no it’s not same don’t think you’re superior if you make this at 10

[@scrub4250]

After 1 year I was able to perfect the T joint🙏

[@asees5866]

Really? I started a week ago and i suck

[@sm00thi312]

Same

[@sm00thi312]

But ill try again

[@PaperPatriot]

This is an updated tutorial on how I make what I call a T-joint which I use for all my articulation. It’s not the most exciting or requested video but I will have a series of new tutorials over the coming weeks and I had to make this technique clearer before doing them, Thankyou!

[@woodenpints]

PaperPatriot Sounds awesome. Can't wait.

[@rizerryan]

Yes, pls do more

[@PaperPatriot]

there isn't? its the same type of joint I always use, I just call it a t-joint because it looks like a T, before you add the card at least.

[@PaperPatriot]

I mentioned it at 0:34 haha

[@carmencartagena1145]

3 things to say 1- Can You make a female body tutorial? 2- Youre awesome and your story is greate 3- I couldnt do it....and i even cried😢

I’m making Eren titan form from attack on titan with you tutorials, I’m gonna start with this, but overall you are super smart! Epicc work

[@JD-ky9ys]

If you’ve completed it upload it to your channel I’ll watch it

[@hrg384]

Ill do it

[@Br35hon]

I really wanna get the exact same measurements as you because I just like to perfect it like you.

[@PaperPatriot]

okay well in that case I make evertthing in a 1/8 scale. So i find the official height and divide it by 8. So spider-man is 178cm therefore my model is 22.3cm. Doomfist is 218cm so my model is 27.2cm etc. And every drawing I do is to this scale as well. If you have any questions about specific measurements of something feel free to ask!

[@Br35hon]

Thank you

Thank you for the tutorials. I have made my own articulating action fig using your technique.

[@harshitnaidu2419]

[@_SPIIIDER_]

Amazing stuff You've actually inspired me to get back into art myself, although I use a different medium. Masking tape. Keep on keeping on innovator!

[@PaperPatriot]

Yes, go for it!

[@LankySanky]

YEEESSSS I use masking tape as well

[@andrebalada3971]

[@Mowgli_ll]

the joints I used to make where not solid at all I would just hot glue the card onto the "pivot" instead of cutting a hole and reinforcing it from both sides lol it wouldn't go to well

[@PaperPatriot]

hahah how good is that trick! it took me years to figure it out and It's the key to making strong joints from paper...well I think so, glad it helped.

[@AstonishProjectt]

Your videos are great!! You should do a paper muscles tutorial, i'm working a paper The Maxx figure and he is a bulky character :)

[@PaperPatriot]

thankyou dude! It so happens I am currently working on muscle tutorial(s)

you are welcome!

[@endoskeleton8005]

hey i'm almost done with my eva hehehe but i didn't make eva 01 and i have a question have you create a small version of your paper toys like 5inch?

[@PaperPatriot]

Nice, No not really. When I started I didn't have any scale I was sticking too but they still ended up being around 18-20cm tall. Now everything is in a 1/8 scale, even the pokemon. well except for the ridiculous things like a titan or Eva. I actually drew an Eva to the size I would make it and it would be 50cm tall! In a 1/80 scale

[@swarupsoumya5098]

Love your videos too keep it up

[@PaperPatriot]

:D I will

[@tiktalk2490]

When your realize that you have no harder paper. Oof

[@carlitoscollectoredition2133]

Take your like bro

[@PaperPatriot]

I will :)

[@carlitoscollectoredition2133]

Your paper action figures are cool men. Continue working.

[@saulodecastro9344]

So you use three cylindrical layers? Two for the main cylinder and then another cylinder for make the motion of the junction T? Is the second layer only used to limit the paper leaving the junction free? or should it also be free to improve mobility? thanks in advance! you do an incredible job! I'm sorry if you do not understand something, it's difficult for me to try to explain in a language that I do not have much mastery. I take your advice I'm trying to do my best with the materials I have access to.

[@labjay2174]

Any substitute for the double sided tape?

[@PaperPatriot]

What do I use if i dont have the double sided tape?

Bro, a long ago it took me SO LONG to get this right, and now i can make one easily, im thinking on making jonathan joestar from jojo's biz adventure.

[@rakhamgn]

Genius

[@Rubixmaster5448]

Which paper is it

[@ragewireloki6213]

I don’t own any double sided tape. Is it possible to make these without it? Edit:I managed to make it work by replacing the double sided tape with glue. Also your pin is huge. Yours is 2.5 inches or 6.3 cm mine is 2.2 cm or 0.9 inches. Your t joint is huge. Nevermind I missheard. You said 2.5 cm.

[@crvptrvp]

Sooo... What are the material costs when you start out and ~per Figure? Your Work is so amazing, honestly. That's so creative and also Challenging, because it's paper after all. Appreciate the Work you do ✨

[@etiennebland8964]

I love your videos but I do have a question for you if you don't have double-sided tape or class group can you still make the action figures?

[@brilliant_spinz328]

How much length is your lever

[@bhupalsingh1231]

[@PaperPatriot]

:D

[@bason8682]

When do you make a leg frame and feet's frame I'm waiting for that

[@locke_ytb]

If you have a chance make a template that we can print, cut and glue together because some of us don't know how to draw.

[@etiennebland8964]

What if you don't have double-sided tape could you still make the action figure?

How do you make arms? like konshiro arm Im make a figure and i have problem to make the muscle hands

[@PaperPatriot]

you will see shortly.....like today

[@lesliechow1528]

Can i use elmers glue?

[@kalpanaananthasubramaniam4698]

Do you use the same method for a double joint? Btw great vid!

[@PaperPatriot]

More or less. what you do is; instead of attatching the pivot to a tube of paper for the lever, you attach the pivot of one joint to the pivot of another joint. the same way by wrapping the two pivots with card and filling the gaps with glue. It's not as strong though so I only use it for the neck

[@brilliant_spinz328]

Please give link for reference drawings of sin goku

[@paperprime7481]

What to do when the joints get lose

[@ArchrandysPlayz]

Or double sided tape?

[@xshiver2855]

So hard DAMN

[@manboy7184]

Also I dont know what you mean by useing double sided tape on the pin

[@indranilmitra1200]

But how do you make avengers action figures muscles

[@jessediazgaming8388]

Is so hard you should do it not just fast slow because I was trying to do a figure but it took me a hole day do it slow and do it with more sense

[@111toushiro]

I still dont know how you cut in the middle of the card without cutting the edge.

[@rezcole]

Also, if i use printer paper(stacked to make it thick), could i use hot glue?

[@PaperPatriot]

not sure what you mean, glueing multiple pieces of paper together to make them thick? may as well give it a go

[@rezcole]

Yea, just because I don't have thick paper

[@duunce6397]

How do u make a head? It would be nice to see a tutorial on it :)
