On the way in, this guy told me there was this half-man, half-bull creature in there who would show me around. I said "Will it take long to get round?" He said "It's a minor tour". Excellent work, great modularity brother 🥃🤘🏼
I really dig these. A hedge maze is pretty simple, but that little touch of the animals really pushed it over the edge, and the glory shots with it set up were really inspiring.
*_The end result is quite nice._* *_I remember my first hedges: they were scotch brite pads with flocking. They still work 100% after all these years._* *_I'm not convinced that the "Garden Lawn" was necessary to add on the hedges? If it was for roundness, that could easily been made with the hotwire. However, using the green lawn as a green lawn; now that's an idea._* *_Also, always paint any underside of terrain black, so no one can see the pink/blue/red foam, or add filt instead of black paint; it makes it all look so much more classy._*
*_And one more nitpick: the ground around the hedges is black? It needs to be gravel, so you need a board of very small (grey)stones to set it all on top of. There would then be a slight problem if you wanted to make a larger or smaller maze; but if you needed a larger Villa; you'd just make another section, so making more than 1 gravel board is no biggie._* *_But then, if you all ready have a large gaming table with it's own board, that "problem" is solved._* *_I would instead of a gravel board have laid cobblestone in a pattern/used one of those rollers and laid in cobblestone. That is actually a very quick process with some Das clay._*
I actually also bought the same rolls of grass when shopping for bottle brush trees. Hedges like these would be great for D&D or war gaming sight blockers. Thank you for the inspiration.
This is great! I play tabletop wargames and scatter terrain is what people want and need, but don't have to much. What you showed here will be useful and used!
These little crafts are fantastic! They're great inspiration to just get up and try to make a few things without worrying about the scale of the giant projects.
That was such a great video and the addition of the animals really makes them stand out from other hedge tutorial videos. Really liked it. Thanks dude.
Right on, sensei! Yeah, the smaller builds would be cool to see along with your larger ones. I really like the way you come up with different projects than other content creators. - Rick
Fantastic vid and loving the smaller builds as they really add to the visual attraction on the table. The only other ‘grass matting’ I can think of that has a sort of rubber backing is the smaller Woodland Scenics grass mats (for model railroading), and they come in about 4 different grass colours. Love the repurposing of the failed fox print!
"I wanna add a bunch of these animals to the hedges to offer a cool little detail you might notice." And that's when the craft went from good to great! I don't think I would have thought to do that, but this was such a perfect addition to the build that I can't believe I didn't see it coming. I really need to do a haunted hedge maze session sometime, and this video will be perfect for when I do that!
how can i not click with a thumbnail like that?? so beautiful!!! the hedges are gorgeous but the animals are the icing on the cake! love the paint job on the fox, you managed an impressive amount of detail with a large brush.
That was a very enlightening video for a simple and creative way to make some hedges. Those have such a broad level of use. Again you take the craft to another level level by adding the little deals. Love the animals; they add realism to the hedges. I do like the smaller videos of the simpler projects. I believe this and last week’s video help the beginners complete a piece of terrain for their tabletop. Keep up the amazing work and videos! Thank you.
Really good video, really good hedges. Please, do more of these quick-crafts, it's fun to do the smaller, faster projects that level up your table. Keep up the good work.
nice 'simple' craft that you can detail out as far as you care to. great idea! turned out very cool. The hedges look a little like green twinkies... or maybe Im just hungry... Great video as always!
Love the smaller crafts usually John. This is no exception. Not sure if the lawn material is needed with all the turf you added on top. Perhaps a dark green painted piece of foam on itself would be enough as is when you chamfer the edges. WIll definitely try it. Thanks for the cool idea!
Up close you can still see some of the green grass below, but certainly you can do it on a piece of foam painted dark green. Thanks for watching and the review :)
I remember when I tried painting scaled-down animals. The toad was almost microscopic, but I had a briliant idea, and glued a single hair from my own head to a tooth pick, and used that to paint the details on the toad! Was still awkward with that.
I love your work these look awesome. Another way to make nice hedges is to use thick green scouring pads and flock. Used to do that on model railways as a kid. I'd not thought of using them as a cool dungeonish maze though.. wandering monsters!
Regarding spray bottles getting stuck after using it. Just unscrew it and have a second bottle with IPA. Give it a few spritzes to clean it. I use mine for a year without issue.
for a cheaper version of this, just get some of that styrofoam made from the little balls. cut them to size and then just rub them with your finger to break off a bunch of the balls and make the rough shapes of the bushes. Then just prime and paint. I made a small hedge maze this way, and then glued them all to a foam board from the dollar store. Then i glued a bunch of dill to the "floor" for grass. the whole maze cost me under $2 because I already had the paint and the styrofoam from a vacuum i just bought.
Loved this! Although, it seems to me, since you did so much flocking, one should be able to simply carve the foam to the desired shape and then flock heavily. I didn't see the purpose that "grass mat" served. I also like both the larger builds and the small builds. I think the small builds are a great way to compliment the larger builds. Please, keep it up.
I love the review thank you. It’s hard to see in the picture but you can see about 10% of the mat. That being said you can definitely get away with straight foam painted green.
For me these more modular builds are far useful than the big grand 'one time use' builds. But I play more skirmish games like Frostgrave and Rangers of Shadow Deep so the big stuff 'might' get one use. These hedges could be used in nearly any game. Example: BMC's 'dungeon stackers' might be the most useful thing I've built for gaming. They can be used in so many ways. Not having unlimited time to build things crafts that can be used in numerous ways are far more practical for me. YMMV. Cheers.
Really like these. Could use something like this in my collection. But playing dark sun atm, so have to be desert-i-fied, Maybe thorny bushes instead of hedges, anyone got some good tips?
The smaller scatter terrain and related pieces are much more practical than the giant set pieces. It would also be useful to include considerations for non-3d printed alternatives to those steps. Something like a referenced link to small animal minis ready to purchase or another TH-cam creator that does tutorials in mini sculpting small animal for example. No need to re shoot your video, just mention it in the v.o. And add the links in the description or a pinned comment.
Those look good. Unfortunately, I recently finished a cheaper version of hedges that seem like they might have been a bit easier Took some of the green pad pod scourers, cut them to look like the right height compared to a mini, glued them to wider craft sticks with a few rocks and sand glued to the stick as a base, primed them and hit it with a darker brown coat, painted the rocks and sand, then used a coat of mod podge over the scourer part of it and dipped it in a mixed thing of flocking that I have from some older projects, then soaked it in thinned glue. They don't have the almost manicured look that yours has for a garden hedge maze, but they look as useful as older hedgerows and the design is adapted from an old wargame modeling thing for hedgerows. The sticks and scourers were also from dollar tree, so dirt cheap to make a pile of them
while I did in fact "thumbs up" your video, I am truly disappointed at the timing! Our campaign JUST saw our heroes traversing through a cursed hedge maze. I could have used this inspiration 10 days ago! LOL. seriously, keep it groovy. awesome video.
A other kind of items that I will used later ( almost eleven months) to do with my sister 's santons collection a magnificent " crèche " ! ( Sorry but I can't find the true exact word to translante the french word " crèche " ) !
On the way in, this guy told me there was this half-man, half-bull creature in there who would show me around.

adding the animals made the whole terrain "alive"! love it !
Thank you :) !
Hey! You DID make it! Awesome!
I am loving the smaller builds as much as the big ones.
Awesome, I’m happy to hear that :)
I'm new. This is my 1st vid of yours, definitely blown away from the simple yet detailed details.
Well, welcome to the channel :). I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
More small crafts like this, please. I really enjoy these more than the big crafts
You got it :). Thank you !
I actually also bought the same rolls of grass when shopping for bottle brush trees.

That’s awesome. Hard to pass up on that find :). Glad the video helped!
The little crafts are great! They provide inspiration to me at the least, and then I can devise how to do them with my kids for a win win.
I love to hear that! Thanks for the comment.
Very helpful, see you next time.
Glad you liked it. Sounds good :)

Love the hedges and the smaller crafts, it was a great way to start my day
Awesome, I love to hear that :)
These look great and are SO easy to make!
Thank you. They are a quick, fun, and easy build for sure.
I love the small craft projects. Thanks!
You got it, thanks for the review.
Love the small items that complement the larger pieces :) Great as always.
Thank you Michelle 😁
What an incredible idea!!! I would add some nails or bolt into the foam just to add some weight to them. Other than that, amazing project!!!
Thank you, and great idea.
This looks incredible! Bravo

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT got the notification bell on brotha . Haven’t done crafting since moving in September. These short videos have me motivated !!!!
I need to make these for sure! Great work as always!

Well that's an original solution! :)
Looks great! Somehow magical... reminds me a bit of "Laberinto del Fauno" movie
Thank you…. And I’ll check that out.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT You're welcome 😀 I'm not sure if you like movies like that, but it was definitley worth to see
It’s nice to see something that’s more my speed lol the airship is awesome but doesn’t seem obtainable any time soon.
I’m focusing on smaller builds this year…. Still some big ones, but mostly crafts you can tackle in a week or less.
Thank you! They look great!
Thank you !

love it keep on making more small scater
Will do :)
still killing it buddy!

Awesome!! They’re nice to have :)
@TabletopWitchCRAFT yeah be really cool for my DnD & Warhammer games. Great looking terrain in general, I'll be watching all your vids now for sure

old wargame technique is similar using faux putting green mats
I almost want to eat them 😂 Especially when you were doing the flocking.
:)
Cracking build!

This is amazing 😍.
