Making Action Heroes With Pipe Cleaners

Video Transcript

"Now I've shown you how to make three figures. Luke Skywalker, an Iron Man, and a Darth Vader. With the basic techniques I've showed you with these, don't be afraid to try something new. Just remember the whole circle head technique and what color is the basic costume and you can do just about anything. Don't be afraid to try new things. Now, I'll show you a couple more of my favorites that I've made over the years. Now this is really advanced, this is a Luke Skywalker from Empire Strikes Back on his Ton Ton. You can see he's in his Hoth gear and he's got his macro-binoculars to check for anything strange. Now lets find another figure. This, I used some fuzzy pipe cleaners for this Chewbacca. With his little bow caster I just used some thin black and his bandelier is a basic skin color. And of course I just couldn't show Chewbacca without his buddy Han Solo. Now as you can see his fists are coming out. What I do is the same thing with the arms and I just wrapped around a white around his arms. Like I said, don't be afraid to try new things. This is one particular fan favorite. This is a prequel thing. A General Grievus, with a cape and so on. This guy took me a little bit longer than others, I'm still developing techniques. I'm thinking about maybe redoing him in a different shade. But, this is how he is for now. Let me show you a couple more super hero guys that are my favorites. Just a couple more. Here is a Ghostrider. Now this one is actually a little bit earlier than most of my figures. It's basically just the same thing I showed you with Darth, except for I used some thin white to make a skull and some shiny in back to make his flames. You can see I've made some eye holes so that some yellow comes out. Now, one last piece I must show you. This one I'm particularly proud of. In a show of patriotism I have Captain America. I've also got his handy shield, which comes on by using a little brown thing and coming in back on his arm. So he's ready for anything. So, I'm Halley Joseph Eveland. This has been Expert Village and see you next week."
