    How to SCULPT a MINIATURE (in Green Stuff)!

    October 18, 2023 /

    This is my approach to sculpting a miniature figure for the first time using Green Stuff. This is also my first time to sculpt anything close to 28mm, and I’m naturally shaky, so please forgive the jitters.

    B GRADE Pocketnaut

    October 10, 2023 /

    The process of injection molding will always leave you with some items that just aren’t up to par. These Pocketnauts are the ones that didn’t pass Crafsmama’s quality control standards. They might have discoloration, or what look to be cracks where the plastic just didn’t melt together well. While Crafsman is out filming in the shop (which is almost every day), we’ll be working through the B Grade Pocketnauts and listing them in our shop at a discount. These will not be sent with the backer or header cards, so that we can keep those designated for the A Grade figures. https://shop.crafnation.com/product/bgradepocketnaut

    Pocketnaut Production Update!

    August 23, 2023 /

    We’re working on finding a good flow for filming in the shop, as well as producing the Pocketnaut figures. It’s not feasible to do both at the same time, so when Crafsman isn’t filming, the Crafsfamily will be producing. This means we won’t be having BIG releases of the figure, but the hope is that we will list however many we can make in a week, every week. So keep your eyes peeled for small releases as we settle into a good workflow. 😀 (https://shop.crafnation.com/product/pocketnaut)We can’t thank y’all enough for your support and are thrilled that you all are enjoying the figure!

All in an effort to get back to the way I USED to film (when we were making episodes every week)!
