  • This was a very fun video to make and I hope it helps you out tremendously. The original Grenadier was not created by me but I could not find the author.
    Here's some of the models I made www.mediafire.com/file/txz3oe1...
    Also Here the music used • ガルパンジャズロック!!
    I wish the best of luck to your creative minds

    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.

    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

    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! ...

    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 👍🏿

    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.

    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.
