Thank you! I really do need to finish out a village!

I get the value of painting out stones. I have seen a few other crafters do this and it looks really cool. I like both looks but I need to do more research. Maybe a trip to Germany or Scotland is in order? Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you coming back for another video!

Thank you! I appreciate your support!

Thank you for watching! I want to do more with the vines.

Thank you so much! I have started featuring these builds as part of my patreon rewards. We are playing a "choose your own adventure" style game. The current session is centered around the Goblin Stronghold build. Thanks for watching!

@@ravenstead Sounds like a blast. Wish I could join. Sadly, the lack of monetary flow prevents that. Still, its great to see your work. It lets my imagination flow. And gods know I have an imagination. LOL. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you! I loved your collaboration with Boylei. Happy crafting!

I love the fine texture of embroidery floss! I want to try this again and pull a few smaller strands out to create more depth.

Thank you for watching!

I felt like I was breaking the rules! I saw a piece of terrain on pinterest that looked like the whole base was rubble. Very inspiring!

Oooo! That's a great idea! I will have to do another build with that detail.

I guess an impressionistic approach isn't so bad for game terrain but I love throwing the little details in there as I can. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you so much for catching another video!

Oh wow! Thank you so much! This is a great hobby and I love sharing!

I aspire to greater craft but I do appreciate the encouragement. Diorama artists are so amazing!

Thank you for watching another build!

Thank you! I want to take another crack at arch building. I feel I could improve quite a bit there.

Good luck with the game! That sounds so exciting! I use all cheap craft paint. The most expensive item is my Proxxon hot wire cutter but you can achieve similar results with a sharp craft knife. I do coat the finished pieces with Minwax Satin Polyurethane.

I would need a bigger game table! They are starting to pile up!

I liked the color of the thread I used but painting sounds like a good way to go as well!

Thanks! I use minwax satin polyurethane. It will eat foam so you have to be sure everything is painted.

@@ravenstead Thank you again!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to experimenting more with the technique.

Thanks! I think I may try untwisting the embroidery floss into multiple strands and see what that looks like.

Thank you! I borrowed the technique from Bob Ross! Glad it worked out for you!

Thank you! I really enjoyed this build!

Thank you for watching!

That's going to be great! I love my proxxon. I'm thinking about getting the fence from shifting lands. The stock fence is a little wiggly. Best of luck! I have a Patron showcase on my Patreon page if you want to show off your builds.

Thank you for watching! This is such a cool hobby!

Thank you!

I bet yours turned out great!

Thank you for watching another video!

Never forget the rotten plank! We need tee shirts! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This was a fun, quick build. I already have a D&D encounter written for it!

@@ravenstead that sounds great. 😊

Thank you so much for your support!

This is a great hobby! Even cardboard terrain is looking good! Go for it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I just need to build a few test pieces or maybe I'll just go for it on camera.

Thank you! I would love to see some of your miniatures on this terrain.

@@ravenstead One day may be!😊😊

Our dear rotten plank friend missed you too! Thanks!

Someone just saw a hot glue string I missed, does that count?

Lol! Hot glue strings! A "happy accident" as Bob Ross would say!

There are several other builders, Black Magic Craft, Eric's Hobby Workshop, and Boylei Hobby Time, that have some great advice on using oil washes. I have been using watered down acrylic ink and acrylic paint for my washes. I have some old oil paints that could be thinned down with spirits. I have my process fairly homogenized to water based materials but I should give oil washes a try. The clean up and drying time has been a hurdle for me so far.. Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate the feedback!

@@ravenstead i used to use an oil wash technique in illustration, you would cover your pencil drawing with heavy fixative, then paint over the whole thing with thinned down oil paint. Then pull the highlights off in reverse with a brush using pure spirit, and when it dried enough, with an eraser. It was a fast technique, I don’t remember anything taking more than half an hour to dry. I would wait an hour just to be certain, then fix again before acrylic and color pencils to finish. It was a moody vintage photo look. I’ve thought about trying it again now that those noxious solvents are optional.

@@thaliahelene I bet that looked amazing! I would love to see your work. I watch Bob Ross all the time and draw a lot of inspiration from oil painters. I try to use an impressionist approach to terrain with indications of detail. If I were to get into more diorama work I would definitely want more detail. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot to me that you would take the time to share!

Maybe these are African medieval stone buildings. (failed monty python joke)

Great ideas! I am getting a little to comfortable in my palate, I will have to branch out. Thanks for the feedback!

We shall see. It just had a spooky feel to it when I was finished. I may use this as an inspiration for my next Patreon adventure campaign. We just start one featuring the Goblin Stronghold from last week.

I appreciate you watching!

Thank you! I might have to expand on the terrain a bit! I liked the thinner base. Thanks for watching!

That's so exciting! I love gearing up for a project! Goodluck!

It was a fun build! Thanks!

Thank you for the first comment and for watching!

Thank you! This was a fun build!
