How to Craft Realistic Climbing Ivy
When posting to my socials, the most common comments I get are queries and tutorial requests for my ivy technique. I figured this would be the perfect build to share my process.

Lair of the Spider Queen - Time-lapse build
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The Lair of the Spider Queen. 3 weeks worth of work crammed into an 18 minute time-lapse video. I suffered a few corrupt video files with this project, but did my best to edit the video together the best I could. ▬ Chapters ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - Logo 0:06 - Intro 0:31 - Creating the Foundations 1:12 - Sculpting the Rockface 2:16 - Adding a Ceiling 4:03 - Stalactites 4:29 - Gap Filling 5:03 - Sealin...
How to Craft a Thatched Roof

Welcome to the very first Miniature Wizardry TH-cam video! Putting this video together has been a massive learning experience and it is far from perfect (and way too long).

    I like the fact that you tell WHY you do each step. I understand and remember things much better when I know the way as well as the what of a project.

    I'm just getting this video 2 years later. Hope you are well. Thank you for sharing your skill with us! It's beautiful. I was surprised when I saw this: "Give Credit Where Credit Is Due". It is the name of one of the chapters in my book! I'm glad you put that there. It's important that people do just that, and don't take other's work as their own. I love the way you explain your process and why. I am saving your video to use on the Hobbit house I am making.... I might use this instead of "grass". haven't decided yet.

    • @miniaturewizardry7650
      @miniaturewizardry7650 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi. I assume you mean the ones that line the bottom of the cottage and make up the chimney in this video? If so, then yes, I used our small bricks, which measure approximately 15x6x6 (the dimensions can be slightly off if using our weathered bricks, as the weathering technique is quite aggressive and removes a little material in the process), hope that helps.

  • @aaronbono4688

    I've actually seen this done where they take the twine and just glue it to a strip of cardboard and then just wrap it around and then cut the twine on both sides after everything is glued to the cardboard. If you stack two pieces of cardboard on top of each other you can end up once cut having set up for four strips like you're doing here all at once. Once everything is glued and cut then you can unravel the twine and I would try to use a bristle brush to tease the strands apart quickly. The idea here is to do exactly what you're doing but do it in a more efficient and quicker way.

      Thank you, I really appreciate it. I do have a few new projects planned, it is just finding the free time! I work a regular job and most of my free time has been taken up with commission work, so TH-cam sadly had to take a back seat. I have every intention of getting back to it though, hopefully sooner rather than later!

    What kind of paste did you use for the floor and around the stalagmites?

    • @miniaturewizardry7650
      @miniaturewizardry7650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jacob. I assume you mean the white stuff that I applied to the ground? That was Sculptamold, which is kind of a plaster and paper pulp hybrid. It sets hard and gives the ground some natural undulation, rather than looking completely flat. If you mean the brown stuff, that was Vallejos ground texture, which is a thick gritty paste used to give a surface some texture.

    How did you do the wall effect, also how did you do the plants?

    • @miniaturewizardry7650
      @miniaturewizardry7650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used Dental Stone (a form of hard gypsum) to achieve the old stucco effect on the walls, with XPS foam strips to create the wooden beams. The plants were all done differently so you would have specify which plant you were interested in? However a lot of them are actually cuttings of real plants from Dioramapresepe that have been treated and dried out to preserve them, I just ran an airbrush over them to make them more lively and vibrant (dried plants tend to brown with age). I plan to do tutorials on both stucco and plants in the future).

    Very Interesting and looks great. Have you tried layering a second piece backer board 4" or 11cm down cut it in the center to make a second off of the same set of loosened fibers?

    • @miniaturewizardry7650
      @miniaturewizardry7650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No that had not occurred to me, I will certainly try next time as I definitely have enough excess length in the loose fibres to support a second strip before I trim them.

    • @JCinLapel
      @JCinLapel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@miniaturewizardry7650 If you have enough length you could use could even do more strips of card stock but I would put a third strip closer to the second because I am pretty sure it would be easier to glue. That is the great part of being in a larger group. Hope to see you post on the TCG sometime.
