5:40 AMKlumsyKwatsup man
5:40 AMZippMonkhey i doing good
5:40 AMKlumsyKure shaping the pieces today? \
5:40 AMZippMonkjust some cosplay building
5:41 AMZippMonkyep
5:41 AMKlumsyKyeah i saw that
5:41 AMKlumsyKyou finish the surface with some compound after the base is shaped right? what do u use?
5:41 AMKlumsyKwhat do u use for glu?
5:42 AMZippMonkcontact cement
5:42 AMKlumsyKtakes forever to dry right?
5:44 AMZippMonkabout 10-15 min
5:44 AMKlumsyKoh thats quick
5:45 AMZippMonkya as long as you smooth it out and have thin layers
5:45 AMKlumsyKso after they are glued up what do you use to build the smooth surface
5:47 AMZippMonkso will be using the kwik seal to cover up the seams and edges
5:47 AMZippMonkthen lots of sanding
5:47 AMKlumsyKoooooh thats why they looked white
5:47 AMZippMonkthen once that is done then covering with plastidip
5:47 AMKlumsyKand some kind of similar housegold putty to build the surface on top?
5:47 AMKlumsyKright
5:48 AMZippMonka few coats then after that a sandable filler primer
5:48 AMZippMonkthen more sanding
5:48 AMKlumsyKdamn dude its quite the achievement if u ask me
5:48 AMKlumsyKyeah i figure, then spray paint the accents, etc...
5:48 AMZippMonkya lot of work and patients
5:48 AMKlumsyKthis is not your first suit Im guessing
5:50 AMZippMonkyep it is
5:50 AMZippMonkat this size
5:51 AMZippMonki did some bracers and a small chest piece as first
5:51 AMKlumsyKi see. well if it looks as good as the helmet id say you can probably enter contests and win
5:52 AMZippMonkthe helmet was commissioned by a good friend and fellow stream i support
5:54 AMKlumsyKu have been streaming here for a while?
5:55 AMZippMonkjust started few months ago
5:56 AMZippMonkbeen doing it on a normal schedule now for about 2 months
6:00 AMKlumsyKcool i'm just starting now
6:00 AMZippMonknice and your working it looking good
6:01 AMKlumsyKive tried streaming on other platforms before but .. thanks, but i got no views qwhatsoever
6:01 AMKlumsyKI mean i didnt really promote but I think the algorithms for suggested streams on places like twitch or youtube are geared to promote whatever's aleady popular so its a catch 22
6:20 AMKlumsyKis the helmet functional?
6:20 AMKlumsyKlike ... can you se out the eyreholes and not suffocate
6:22 AMZippMonkya it is totally functional
6:23 AMZippMonkneed to add in the padding inside to get it to fit more comfortable
6:25 AMZippMonkon any channels you have to be consistent on it might not have a lot of viewers for a while
6:25 AMKlumsyKright
6:25 AMZippMonkalso promote self as much as you can
6:25 AMKlumsyKi mean the padding
6:25 AMZippMonkif in other communities try to post up when you are live
6:27 AMZippMonkto get followers need to be talking about what you are doing even when no one is watching
6:27 AMZippMonkjust need to start to get in the habit of it
6:28 AMZippMonktake small breaks and explain in some detail what you are doing and why
6:28 AMKlumsyKright right
6:28 AMZippMonkthe more you interact and talk people will watch it more and want to chat and join
6:29 AMKlumsyKi dont think my goal for now is to have huge channel growth, just maybe to not be completely in a vaccum ;)
6:29 AMZippMonki still struggle a lot on it
6:40 AMKlumsyKso do you or have you at any point in the past play 40k
6:41 AMZippMonkya about 15 years ago
6:42 AMZippMonkthen used to play dark heresy role play
6:42 AMZippMonkand almost all pc games of it
6:43 AMKlumsyKyeah lol about same here minus the small scale tabletop
6:43 AMKlumsyKnever gpot into necromunda or stuff like that
6:43 AMKlumsyKi playd fantasy though
6:43 AMZippMonkya i did minatures tabletop way back in day
6:50 AMKlumsyK yeah man i had like at least a 100... but the army was lost to time.... or to friend's thieving roomates to be precise
6:50 AMKlumsyKbut by then I really didnt have time or space for it
6:53 AMZippMonkya time space and money came factor for me
7:08 AMKlumsyKi saw some discussions online about how come the warhammer franchise has such a "loyal" following
7:09 AMKlumsyKsince obviously the loyalty is something that other companies realyl want
7:09 AMKlumsyKbut they also want it .. like, next month.
7:10 AMKlumsyKi said I think the player base for warhammer is people with patience and long attention spans, because thats like pre-requisites :)
7:10 AMZippMonkyep agree with you on that
7:10 AMKlumsyKif you can spend 500 hours painting minis and then a day to set up and play the game with meticulous rules
7:11 AMZippMonkyep
7:11 AMZippMonk500+ hours or painting minis for 5 hours of play... such patients
7:52 AMKlumsyKOk man I'm done for tonight catch you next time !!
7:52 AMZippMonkok you have a good one and be well
7:52 AMKlumsyKlooking forward to seeing all the pieces done
7:52 AMKlumsyKPeace
7:52 AMZippMonkgood night
