How To Make Toy Soldiers (Step By Step Guide)

A toy soldier is a miniature figurine that represents a soldier. The term applies to depictions of uniformed military personnel from all eras, and includes knights, cowboys, American Indians, pirates, samurai, and other subjects that involve combat-related themes. Toy soldiers vary from simple playthings to highly realistic and detailed models. The latter are of more recent development and are sometimes called model figures to distinguish them from traditional toy soldiers. Larger scale toys such as dolls and action figures may come in military uniforms, but they are not generally considered toy soldiers.
Toy soldiers are made from all types of material, but the most common mass-produced varieties are metal and plastic. There are many different kinds of toy soldiers, including tin soldiers or flats, hollow-cast metal figures, composition figures, and plastic army men. Metal toy soldiers were traditionally sold in sets; plastic figures were sold in toy shops individually in Britain and Europe and in large boxed sets in the U.S. Modern, collectable figures are often sold individually.

How much does all the equipment cost

[@hunterdrain8004]

But how to you make them fully 3D and not flat

[@legofanguyvid]

I think what you would do is either make the model in the round rather than just one sided and flat, or add more clay to the back and sculpt that into the other side so it is more 3D

[@berlin_actual]

You could also use 3d modelling

[@radicalelias9709]

But what if you don't have the stuff to make them, no paper, I'll 3 d paper no Clay, but how do you make them tho

[@PatrickTyrrell-jd5zy]

To start from scratch, you would need to sculpt an original from which to make a master mold. It requires artistic skill to make a figure completely from scratch. Some people buy unpainted castings abd paint them. You may also buy molds, and make your own castings & paint them, but this is becoming rare.​@radicalelias9709

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rodelfuaso2040]

the more you learn and i have that in my brain

[@steztoyz]

@2:09 Tin plus cast iron plus bismuth. This is wrong. There is NO iron in the alloy. A traditional tin soldier alloy is Sn /Pb/Sb. Modern lead free alloys are Sn/Sb, or Bi/ Cu. The best lead free is an Sn/Sb alloy. 92 to 98 Sn / 8 to 2 Sb.
