Questions...There have been a few questions asked about how I make my twist tie dudes and figures. If you have one, share it, if not, you'll learn something new about a fellow RT member, or have some time to spare.1. How many of these dudes do you have? A: About 30, but I change how they look like I make 1 and then he has 30 different looks. 2. How many twist ties does one take? A: depends on their size, the smallest would be about 30, the biggest would by about 100+ 3. how much time does one take? A: As much time as I need, and when I feel it's done. 4. where do you get them? A: All over, manly at stores in the produce sections. 5. So you steal them? A: I take them, they're not priced, and I haven't been caught. I'm saving to buy some off the internet. 6. Where do you get your ideas? A: Everywhere, from games, movies, news, anything. 7. What was your first twist tie dude? A: when I was about 6 years old, i bought a toy plane from a flea market, it was the coolest, while I was in the car driving home with me family, i was able to open the hatch and found some space to put the pilot. but I didn't see him at the market, so i forgot about the hatch for about 30 minutes. after I had helped my dad take out the trash, I found garbage ties in the box. I broke one off and bent it, it looked like huge TV bunny ears (yeah that old) , i folded them til' the were the size of 2 beans together. so I grabbed 2 more did the same with 1 and tied them together with the 3rd. at that moment, in an instance, I had so many ideas, but I concetrated on the plane. it was hours of enjoyment, then, i found a bundle of smaller ones about the size I use today, and made my first Alien. he was abole to turn into a skateboard. as the years go by, I tried many different ways of making these figures you now see today. some were manly lego parts held together by twist ties, some were made with just 1 tie! bu now, they are my passion, my drug, and my inspiration to invest further into video games. hope that helps. if you have more just ask, I alwasy check my messages |
