Britical Hit videos, Yuan ti - a piece of snake

Yuan ti - a piece of snake

I came to a point in the Callathiforay campaign where i needed some Yuan-ti snake people. These have got a, sort of, lizardy-humanoid top with a snake tail instead of legs.

I would like a squad of five of these Yuan-ti snake people. At £8.50 a pair, that would work out to £21.25, which is a lot.

You can get five models on this Frostgrave snakeman sprue, which at £6.45, is much more palatable. It's a difference of £14.80. The only downside is that these snake men - so to speak - have legs instead of a snakey tale, which is what I want.

But that £14.80 difference justifies me hitting the crafting table, so let's go.

On top of the Frostgrave snakeman sprue, I also need to provide my own: bases; paper clips; and Milliput modeling clay. And that's it.

I tried a bunch of different ways to anchor the paper clips into the bases of the snakeman mini. The best method I found was to drill a hole in the side of the slot from the inside and then thread the end of the paperclip into it. That way I had a length of paperclip that I could run along the length of the slot so that when I wadged some Milliput into the base to secure it, the entire length of paperclip was buried.

Here's me gritting the bases with well-dried builders' sand before I started modelling. There's no real reason why I couldn't have done it afterwards. I used Mod Podge to adhere the grit to the base and then a 50/50 Mod Podge water mix to seal it, once the first pass, as it were, had dried.

That bit of the paper clip that sticks out of the base dictates the form of the model and the flow of the tail, so in bending it in different ways, I'm getting in as much variation as possible between the different models. Before I started working on the tails, I attached the torsos from the sprues. This way, I can feather the join between the tail and the torso when I start modelling the tail.

Making the serpentine lower half is a matter of wadging Milliput around the pin made from the paper clip. It's my impression that snakes' bellies in general look different to the upper part of their bodies: the bit that you can see from above. I wanted to highlight that difference, so I put grooves and, sort of, striations in the sculpt.

To soften up the rough edges in the clay and where you could still see the paper clip, I used tiny amounts of Das clay encouraged into place with loads of water. The Das clay is the brownish areas that you can see against the, sort of, off-yellow of the Milliput in this footage.

Here we go: I haven't gone over the painting of the minis as there's many better painters than me on the 'Tube, although I did use loads of inks and washes diluted with flow-aid, which really helped. I've gone for… what would you say… like a green outer belly and then tan bellies which you can see, sort of, delineated by the marks made in the the Milliput, there. And then to finish off the colour scheme, we've got bronze armour and weapons which goes quite well with the green and the tan.

So what did I learn on this project?

A new way of securing pins to a base. That method of drilling a little hole in the side of the slot, threading a paper clip through it and then stuffing loads of Milliput in to secure it in place is really tough.

Milliput, it turns out, is pretty workable after it goes off. You can have a go at it with a crafting knife, or whatever.

This is a riff on the last point: I learned not to sweat dodgy sculpts too much. You can always use a little tool to scrape bits off, or you can use Das to add to it once the lower layers harden.

Last but not least: watery Das is a good way to feather rough edges or incisions.

And that's pretty much it. You know the deal: like, subscribe, Patreonise and all that sort of thing.

I should say that prices changed fairly significantly since the project was finished. I shot the video late July/August of last year, 2021. Your mileage may vary on the savings you make, if you go through a project similar to this.

As I mentioned in the start of the video, I've got some Yuan-ti in the Callathiforay campaign. The campaign is coming to its closing stages in terms of the game we're playing. If you're interested in the story, there's an entire playlist devoted to it. Please do have a look at it. Although the campaign is coming to an end in the real world, there's still plenty of work to do on the video series.

It's been a while since I've done a crafting video; thanks for watching this far. It's just as well, though, that I don't need to remember a snappy sign-off, which would have gone... here.


Yuan ti - a piece of snake

I came to a point in the Callathiforay campaign  where i needed some Yuan-ti snake people. These have got a, sort of, lizardy-humanoid top with a snake tail instead of legs. لقد وصلت إلى نقطة في حملة Callathiforay حيث كنت بحاجة إلى بعض ثعابين Yuan-ti. Llegué a un punto en la campaña de Callathiforay en el que necesitaba gente serpiente Yuan-ti. Je suis arrivé à un point dans la campagne Callathiforay où j'avais besoin de quelques serpents Yuan-ti. Cheguei a um ponto na campanha de Callathiforay em que precisava de algumas cobras Yuan-ti. 在 Callathiforay 竞选活动 中 ， 我 到 了 需要 一些 元体 蛇 人 的 地步 。

I would like a squad of five of these Yuan-ti snake people. At £8.50 a pair, that would work out to £21.25, which is a lot. هذه لها ، نوعًا ما ، قمة تشبه الإنسان السحلية مع ذيل ثعبان بدلاً من الأرجل. Estos tienen una parte superior tipo lagarto-humanoide con una cola de serpiente en lugar de piernas. Ceux-ci ont une sorte de haut humanoïde lézard avec une queue de serpent au lieu de jambes. Estes têm uma espécie de top humanóide-lagarto com uma cauda de cobra em vez de pernas. 它们 有 一种 蜥蜴 类 人形 上衣 ， 上面 有 蛇尾 而 不是 腿 。

You can get five models on this Frostgrave snakeman sprue, which at £6.45, is much more palatable. It's a difference of £14.80. The only downside is that these snake men - so to speak - have legs instead of a snakey tale, which is what I want. أود فرقة مكونة من خمسة أفراد من ثعبان اليوان تي. Me gustaría un escuadrón de cinco de estas personas serpiente Yuan-ti. Je voudrais une équipe de cinq de ces serpents Yuan-ti. Eu gostaria de um esquadrão de cinco dessas cobras Yuan-ti. 我 想要 一个 五人 小队 的 元体 蛇 人 。

But that £14.80 difference justifies me hitting the crafting table, so let's go. عند 8.50 جنيهات إسترلينية للزوج ، فإن ذلك يصل إلى 21.25 جنيهًا إسترلينيًا ، وهو مبلغ كبير. A £ 8,50 el par, eso equivaldría a £ 21,25, que es mucho. À 8,50 £ la paire, cela reviendrait à 21,25 £, ce qui est beaucoup. A £ 8,50 por par, isso resultaria em £ 21,25, o que é muito. 每双 8.50 英镑 ， 相当于 21.25 英镑 ， 这是 很多 。

On top of the Frostgrave snakeman sprue, I also need to provide my own: bases; paper clips; and Milliput modeling clay. And that's it. يمكنك الحصول على خمسة عارضات في ذبابة Frostgrave snakeman ، والتي بسعر 6.45 جنيه إسترليني ، وهي أكثر قبولا. Puede obtener cinco modelos en este bebedero de hombre serpiente Frostgrave, que a £ 6.45, es mucho más apetecible. Vous pouvez obtenir cinq modèles sur cette grappe de serpent Frostgrave, qui, à 6,45 £, est beaucoup plus agréable au goût. Você pode obter cinco modelos neste sprue de homem-cobra Frostgrave, que por £ 6,45, é muito mais palatável. 您 可以 在 这款 Frostgrave 蛇 人 浇 道 上 获得 五个 型号 ， 售价 6.45 英镑 ， 更 可口 。

I tried a bunch of different ways to anchor the paper clips into the bases of the snakeman mini. The best method I found was to drill a  hole in the side of the slot from the inside and then thread the end of the paperclip into it. That way I had a length of paperclip that  I could run along the length of the slot so that when I wadged some Milliput into the base to secure it, the entire length of paperclip was buried. الفرق هو 14.80 جنيه إسترليني. Es una diferencia de £14.80. C'est une différence de 14,80 £. É uma diferença de £ 14,80. 相差 14.80 英镑 。

Here's me gritting the bases with well-dried builders' sand before I started modelling. There's no real reason why I couldn't have done it afterwards. I used Mod Podge to adhere the grit to the base and then a 50/50 Mod Podge water mix to seal it, once the first pass, as it were, had dried. الجانب السلبي الوحيد هو أن هؤلاء الرجال الأفاعي - إذا جاز التعبير - لديهم أرجل بدلاً من قصة ثعبان ، وهذا ما أريده. El único inconveniente es que estos hombres serpiente, por así decirlo, tienen piernas en lugar de un cuento de serpientes, que es lo que quiero. Le seul inconvénient est que ces hommes-serpents - pour ainsi dire - ont des jambes au lieu d'un conte de serpent, ce que je veux. A única desvantagem é que esses homens-cobra - por assim dizer - têm pernas em vez de um conto de cobras, que é o que eu quero. 唯一 的 缺点 是 这些 蛇 人 - 可以 这么 说 - 有 腿 而 不是 蛇 的 故事 ， 这 正是 我 想要 的 。

That bit of the paper clip that sticks out of the base dictates the form of the model and the flow of the tail, so in bending it in different ways, I'm getting in as much variation as possible between the different models. Before I started working on the tails, I attached the torsos from the sprues. This way, I can feather the join between the tail and the torso when I start modelling the tail. لكن هذا الاختلاف البالغ 14.80 جنيهًا إسترلينيًا يبررني أن أصطاد طاولة التصنيع ، Pero esa diferencia de 14,80 libras justifica que vaya a la mesa de trabajo, Mais cette différence de 14,80 £ me justifie de frapper la table d'artisanat, Mas essa diferença de £ 14,80 justifica que eu vá para a mesa de trabalho, 但是 ，14.80 英镑 的 差异 证明 我 有 理由 去 制作 工作台 ，

Making the serpentine lower half is a matter of wadging Milliput around the pin made from the paper clip. It's my impression that snakes' bellies in general look different to the upper part of their bodies: the bit that you can see from above. I wanted to highlight that difference, so I put grooves and, sort of, striations in the sculpt. لذلك دعنا نذهب. así que vamos. alors allons-y. então vamos lá. 所以 我们 走 吧 。

To soften up the rough edges in the clay and where you could still see the paper clip, I used tiny amounts of Das clay encouraged into place with loads of water. The Das clay is the brownish areas that you can see  against the, sort of, off-yellow of the Milliput in this footage. بالإضافة إلى ذبابة Frostgrave snakeman ، أحتاج أيضًا إلى توفير Además del bebedero del hombre serpiente de Frostgrave, también necesito proporcionar el mío propio: En plus de la carotte de l'homme-serpent Frostgrave, je dois également fournir les miennes : des Além do sprue do homem-cobra Frostgrave, também preciso fornecer minhas próprias: 除了 Frostgrave 蛇 人 sprue， 我 还 需要 提供 我 自己 的 ：

Here we go: I haven't gone over the painting of the minis as there's many better  painters than me on the 'Tube, although I did use loads of inks and washes diluted with flow-aid, which really helped. I've gone for… what would you say… like a green outer belly and then tan bellies which you can see, sort of, delineated by the marks made in the the Milliput, there. And then to finish off the colour scheme, we've got bronze armour and weapons which goes quite well with the green and the tan. قواعد خاصة بي ؛ bases; bases ; bases; bases；

So what did I learn on this project? مشابك الورق clips de papel; trombones; clipes de papel; 曲别针 ;

A new way of securing pins to a base. That method of drilling a little hole in the side of the slot, threading a paper clip through it and then stuffing loads of Milliput in to secure it in place is really tough. وطين النمذجة Milliput. y arcilla para modelar Milliput. et la pâte à modeler Milliput. e massa de modelar Milliput. 和 Milliput 造型 粘土 。

Milliput, it turns out, is pretty workable after it goes off. You can have a go at it with a crafting knife, or whatever. وهذا كل شيء. Y eso es. Et c'est tout. E é isso. 就是 这样 。

This is a riff on the last point: I learned not to sweat dodgy sculpts too much. You can always use a little tool to scrape bits off, or you can use Das to add to it once the lower layers harden. لقد جربت مجموعة من الطرق المختلفة لتثبيت مشابك الورق في قواعد الرجل الأفعى المصغر. Probé un montón de formas diferentes de anclar los sujetapapeles en las bases del mini hombre serpiente. J'ai essayé un tas de façons différentes d'ancrer les trombones dans les bases du serpent mini. Eu tentei várias maneiras diferentes de ancorar os clipes de papel nas bases do mini homem-cobra. 我 尝试 了 很多 不同 的 方法 将 回形针 固定 在 蛇 人 迷你 的 底座 上 。

Last but not least: watery Das is a good way to feather rough edges or incisions. أفضل طريقة وجدتها كانت حفر ثقب في جانب الفتحة من الداخل El mejor método que encontré fue perforar un agujero en el costado de la ranura desde el interior La meilleure méthode que j'ai trouvée consistait à percer un trou sur le côté de la fente depuis l'intérieur O melhor método que encontrei foi fazer um furo na lateral do slot por dentro 我 发现 最好 的 方法 是从 内侧 在 槽 的 侧面 钻 一个 孔

And that's pretty much it. You know the deal: like, subscribe, Patreonise and all that sort of thing. ثم ربط طرف مشبك الورق بداخله . y luego pasar el extremo del clip en él. , puis à y enfiler l'extrémité du trombone. e depois enfiar a ponta do clipe nele. ， 然后 将 回形针 的 末端 拧 入 其中 。

I should say that prices changed fairly significantly since the project was finished. I shot the video late July/August of last year, 2021. Your mileage may vary on the savings you make, if you go through a project similar to this. بهذه الطريقة كان لديّ مشبك ورق يمكنني تشغيله على طول الفتحة De esa manera, tenía un trozo de clip que podía pasar a lo largo de la ranura, de De cette façon, j'avais une longueur de trombone que je pouvais faire courir le long de la fente de Dessa forma, eu tinha um pedaço de clipe de papel que eu poderia passar ao longo do comprimento do slot 这样 我 就 有 了 一段 回形针 ， 我 可以 沿着 槽 的 长度 运行 ，

As I mentioned in the start of the video, I've got some Yuan-ti in the Callathiforay campaign. The campaign is coming to its closing stages in terms of the game we're playing. If you're interested in the story, there's an entire playlist devoted to it. Please do have a look at it. Although the campaign is coming to an end in the real world, there's still plenty of work to do on the video series. بحيث عندما أدخلت بعضًا من ميليبوت في القاعدة لتأمينها ، تم دفن طول مشبك الورق بالكامل. modo que cuando metía un poco de Milliput en la base para asegurarlo, todo el clip quedaba enterrado. sorte que lorsque j'enfonçais du Milliput dans la base pour la fixer, toute la longueur du trombone était enterrée. para que, quando eu colocasse um pouco de Milliput na base para prendê-lo, todo o comprimento do clipe de papel fosse enterrado. 这样 当 我 将 一些 Milliput 推入 底座 以 固定 它 时 ， 整个 回形针 长度 都 被 埋没 了 。

It's been a while since I've done a crafting video; thanks for watching this far. It's just as well, though, that I don't need to remember a snappy sign-off, which would have gone... here. ها أنا أقوم بصقل القواعد برمل البناء المجفف جيدًا قبل أن أبدأ في تصميم النماذج. Aquí estoy yo lijando las bases con arena de construcción bien seca antes de empezar a modelar. Me voici en train de poncer les bases avec du sable de construction bien séché avant de commencer le modelage. Aqui estou eu lixando as bases com areia de construtor bem seca antes de começar a modelar. 这 是 我 在 开始 建模 之前 用 干燥 良好 的 建筑 沙子 打磨 底座 。
