These roofs are an amazing alternative for a lot of the popular and modern methods. I always click on this vid to rewatch it every time it comes back in my feed :)
@@theDMsCraft I think a lot of people underestimate just how valuable your old vids are. I'm constantly finding myself circling back to them years later. Nobody these days would think of using the glue gun for thatching or the corrugations for easy shingles. I honestly think the shingles are so good because they even have a bit more of a "fantasy" feel to them and less of a "medieval wargaming" feel to them. Maybe I'm just a DM Scotty fan, but you never cease to amaze me. I got into crafting five years ago because of you and your videos.
This is why I love to support you on Patreon Scotty - I'm always discovering videos I haven't seen before! Some great tips here! Love that water wheel. I'm sure you could make it look ever more amazing now with foam and/or popsicle sticks and/or etc. So many nifty ways to make terrain these days!
Thanks so much for that support Perry. Lots of techniques have advanced and I sure could but I love that those without the resources can still make some good lookin' stuff.
Again, I really love this method of construction utilizing your 2.5D method. I finally got around to building a simple "house" just to test out some other concepts/ideas I had and ended up staggering the strips on the roof so that the corrugations mimicked tiles on real rooftops - ended up looking really nice. Thank you again for posting all of these vids, very, very cool inspirational construction methods!!
Now you got me rethinking future builds; Eyes & Ears Open, thank you Scotty - open floor play, simply managed. I might try magnets or using short corner support posts to fix in external walls and leaving internal walls as cover/sight dividers - General Rid Stump!!!
Love how cheap and simple these are! No exotic materials or tools, just some paint and creative use of common materials. I just adore the way you did the stone walls on the lower mill... just a few cardstock squares to suggest the existence of stonework One thing you might add to the lower tiles are an indication of where the windows are on the 3D structure, like a different colour paint or the like. Gives the PCs some more visually tactical options for fire lines and ingress/egress.
for sure. I just wanted the dice to decide lol. my walls back in the day were one pop stick high and drew in all the bricks and made all the room stuff. all pop sticks. the craft has come a long way. it's amazing the creativity of people. I love it. gives me hope for a better world.
This is an absolutely amazing method! It's super practical, and fairly easy to prepare. Well done DM Scotty, I'll be sure to remember the method, and will implement it into some games. seriously impressed with the use of 2.5d tiles in a 3d village, so I'm going to drop a like! kudos!
Been watching your stuff for awhile now and that's the first time I've seen this vid! Blown away! Great work scotty! Pretty sure I know what my next craft is going to be!
Even though i've made a ton of buildings, both mediëval and modern and posted tutorials myself on my channel....i still love rewatching this video for the god knows how many times... :-) it still remains awsome DM scotty! Still hoping you would one day do a tutorial of these.
this is the perfect idea for me , sometimes I like to use some 3d stuff if it's something small but can't afford to do the hirst arts stuff plus this is still way easier and it looks great as always .
Those buildings look awesome, even better than the papercraft buildings IMO. After that thread on the DM Craft forum, I started working on a larger two story tavern/inn using foam board and wood (similar to Kamloopian and terrainnoobs builds), but got bogged down with the enormity of the work it required. But your approach looks nearly as good with much less work. Thanks!
YEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW you'd make some 3d buildings some time i just didn't go back far enough:) LOVE the 3D / 2.5D method Bro:)! Always love seeing your mind at work! Beautiful build Buddy!!!!!!
I assume putting small square blocks by the corners, or sticks that goes inside the corners would give lots of added stability. Since if you push the main building, the structure could slide ontop of the 2,5d inner floor and push over the interior furniture (although, a rigid construction could have everything topple as well come to think of it.) But just to keep those slight nudges from pushing things inside. The buildings look really nice, i really like the mill. I would have done the grinding wheel slightly different, but that's the joy of crafting it yourself :D
I LOVE THIS GUY ....you are the only youtuber who use recylable materials in your miniture not like other who prefer to use woodland ceanix ......THIS GUY IS GOOD ..... pls make a tutorials on how to make those awesome house especialy the roof on the mill I LOVE YOUR VIDS keep em comming
Amazing! Was getting ready to build an Edo village for a miniature skirmish game. Think I will give this a try since, as you say, reaching down between walls is a pain.
I did something similar, but made a second floor attic where the roof lifted off and put more dressing on the top of the box (just wooden coffee stick boards for the floor and a hole for a ladder to get up.)
for the glue gun trick. would a metal comb/pick or somthing easy to clean off, work nice to and mabey. cause itd make more fine lines. could u mabey do a video of showing different house tools that might work?
Really nice way of doing this. I am too detailed at the moment. But to me it seems to me more quantity than quality. I need to speed. But a small town like this would be really awesome! Thx for sharing :)
Can you tell me how the roof is supported. I see the sides have a piece of card stock but I'm not sure I get it. Is the roof, under the shingles, four parts; side, side, and two bigger pieces glued together? Or is it three pieces; side, side, and one bigger piece that was folded in half? I figure you've worked out the particulars.
I like this method better then the Titlescapes method for outside settings. I prefer the Tilescapes method for the dungeons and caves. But I do intend to use the Tilescapes outdoor setup to do storyboards and some model setups for movies.
Just one point though. I've noticed your cottage has windows, but when you remove it, your tile has no indications of where the windows are. This might come into play if the players ever need to peer through windows to see if enemy reinforcement in soming or somethig to that effect...
That is a good point. In play I always just approximate where the windows are but as a crafter you can easily mark the edges of the tile to show where they are.
I been making 2.5 tiles since 1st edition. Kind of a bold statement as the originator. Maybe I'm the originator? We better roll some D20's and battle this out. Lol I made massive dungeons out of popsticks. Book shelfs tables torches beds books. Perhaps you meant calling it 2.5. just saying this style isn't exactly new. Nobody showed me anything back then. I was making elaborate pop stick lamps when I was 8 and now I'm 47. Good stuff thoughKeep going. I'll keep watching. No offense man. My craft was a bit more janky then today.
What I mean by 2.5D are tiles with short walls that simulate full walls to facilitate easy access. This was a combination craft where I put a full 3D structure over the 2.5D tile. I coined the term 2.5D when I started making vids because I had seen flat tiles and tiles with full walls but not tiles with very short simulated walls....enjoy the vids...lots to share.
Perfectly playable 2.5D floorplan with 3D facade on top - genius as usual!
Thanks, Very playable.

@@mikeelarsen1964 totally agree =)
It would be great to see your stuff laid out as an entire town, showing the interiors and street level views.
Someday.
+theDMsCraft Yes please!
Is today that day?

Radical Buddha Very welcome, have fun crafting.
This would be good for an inn, and you can redo the outdoor sign and floor layout inside for different inns!
Beautiful work! I love the wattle and daub style. This looks like a good use for some empty tissue boxes.
so true

I agree =)
this is really inspiring , I think both buildings are great , but that mill was awesome thanks for another good one DM SCOTTY
FANTASTIC! Please do more 3D buildings. Perhaps a Smithy, Barn, Inn, Ale House
Glad I found your channel man! Now D&D with my friends will be so much better!
You know it!....Rock On!
Pizza king Kev. I love d and d too

Greatest idea ever for miniatures buildings!
Even though i've made a ton of buildings, both mediëval and modern and posted tutorials myself on my channel....i still love rewatching this video for the god knows how many times... :-) it still remains awsome DM scotty! Still hoping you would one day do a tutorial of these.
I really need to
This is almost exactly the method my friend and I came up with for the buildings except we grid all the floors. great vid!
Thanks, I don't use the grid hence no grid. Been a long time since I made this one =)
I actually made one like this using your instructions and the players loved it! Thank u DMscotty
this is the perfect idea for me , sometimes I like to use some 3d stuff if it's something small but can't afford to do the hirst arts stuff plus this is still way easier and it looks great as always .
Same reason I like it
simply amazing crafted a lot due to your videos quick question how did you do your crates with sculpy or something else
Just found this, and man am i just amazed. Super cool. I definitely plan to make plenty of different structures using your ideas
Sounds great, cheap and easy.

Very cool and very inspiring. Thanks again for the vid dm scotty! Long live o' great crafty dm!

I rarely comment videos but this time I think i have to do it!
Amazing work and great imagination!!!
Wow! Just Wow.
the Fachwerk (the crossing outer bordes), are awesome looking
I LOVE THIS GUY ....you are the only youtuber who use recylable materials in your miniture not like other who prefer to use woodland ceanix ......THIS GUY IS GOOD ..... pls make a tutorials on how to make those awesome house especialy the roof on the mill I LOVE YOUR VIDS keep em comming
Thanks, I plan on making a vid showing the process.
Very nice work. I can't wait to get started on my own.
Is there a tutorial video for these houses?
Will you do a short explanation on the construction/painting techniques you used here?
This can be done with mountain's caves, too. Amazing idea! Genius!
so true.
How the heck do you do this? Everything you make is so amazing! You are the Chuck Norris of DMs
Thanks much
Did i forget to mention you have beautiful hair?
Why thank you =)
This stuff is awesome!! New DM here looking for cheap stuff & I'm in love with your channel!!
Glad you found me.
Fantastic idea, Scotty!
Wow, that looks great man. Could you make a tutorial on how to make those roofs with the glue gun?
Thank you.
The Mexican D&D players around the world thank you and your cheap ways to make terrain pieces lol
Very welcome =)
Amazing! Was getting ready to build an Edo village for a miniature skirmish game. Think I will give this a try since, as you say, reaching down between walls is a pain.
This is really fantastic. Genius, man.
Thanks, I really like the ease of play
Nicely done, man. I've been looking for some good ways to make houses for a town my guys are about to go into and these will be perfect.
Glad you found it helpful.
Amazing Work Mr. DM!!!!
Why thank you =)
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. It is inspiring me to try some things.
Scotty, this is some really cool stuff.
Thanks again for all the compliments =)
Wonderful craft! Thank you for the inspiration 😁. Any types for a new Homebrew DM?
Types?
You just earned yourself a sub good sir! This is genius! Gonna make an Inn this way!
awesome...have fun
I did something similar, but made a second floor attic where the roof lifted off and put more dressing on the top of the box (just wooden coffee stick boards for the floor and a hole for a ladder to get up.)
Awesome! Sounds cool.
Very cool, they are much easier than they look. The just take some time to construct.
Amazing stuff! If you are not careful you will also be the originator of a RPG/wargame hybrid system.
great vid. glad I subbed. do you sell any of your old pieces or do they just get archived?
Another one for my favorites!
for the glue gun trick. would a metal comb/pick or somthing easy to clean off, work nice to and mabey. cause itd make more fine lines. could u mabey do a video of showing different house tools that might work?
True....good idea.
Leave a 1/2 inch tall wall portion behind when you pull the building off....
And mark the windows and doors on the "sill plate"
Love your tutorials all of them!! What size box did you use to make the inn? Was trying to make one and could not find it on your pro boards. Thanks.
Let me measure it....you can really make it any size you like.
Thanks.
FANTASTIC
What were some of the measurements you used? Like height and what not?
WHERE DO YOU KEEP ALL OF THESE AWESOME THINGS?
The crates are from hirst arts molds but you can easily craft them yourself.
Really nice way of doing this. I am too detailed at the moment. But to me it seems to me more quantity than quality. I need to speed. But a small town like this would be really awesome! Thx for sharing :)
+TheHelium999 Very welcome, Yeah, my thing is cheap and easy.
Wow love the ogre encounter idea. You're a genius, sir.
Can you tell me how the roof is supported. I see the sides have a piece of card stock but I'm not sure I get it. Is the roof, under the shingles, four parts; side, side, and two bigger pieces glued together? Or is it three pieces; side, side, and one bigger piece that was folded in half? I figure you've worked out the particulars.
I had a peice of cardboard under the shingles and just hot glues each strip of shingles onto it,
I like this method better then the Titlescapes method for outside settings. I prefer the Tilescapes method for the dungeons and caves. But I do intend to use the Tilescapes outdoor setup to do storyboards and some model setups for movies.
Cool, all styles can work together.
True.
Hey Scotty, how do you find space at home to put so much of these things? Don't they occupy too much room?
I have a large basement and now a game room =)
Once again amazing.
It was a small post office box that I cut off at 2.5 inches (tall)
*Exhale, stir coffee* Time for a full channel re-watch.
Awesome...soooo many vids
This is great!! Keep up the awesome job your doing. #fanforlife
how big are the buildings cause I'm gonna make an entire village with some ally ways and like a fountain in the middle
Hey DM Scotty any chance you could work with Wyloch to produce a 3d file for these? So he can put them on his website.
I mean the fronts
Cool idea
How you did the Mill roof?
Werewolves are always wrecking peoples cottages. Those jerks...
im right there with you. remove the whole building/leave the floor. thats ironically how im doing my tavern building. its more shadowbox esc
Is there an video showing how you made that house?
I do not...Basically I took a box and put a roof on it.
Good stuff.
Excellent.
Awesome simply awesome
great vid. Can you post dungeon creation?
already have numerous vids on DC...check out my channel.
Just one point though. I've noticed your cottage has windows, but when you remove it, your tile has no indications of where the windows are. This might come into play if the players ever need to peer through windows to see if enemy reinforcement in soming or somethig to that effect...
That is a good point. In play I always just approximate where the windows are but as a crafter you can easily mark the edges of the tile to show where they are.
awesome!!
Love this!
Thanks, one of my old crafts but easy and looks great
so how do you make your cities if you dont craft a bunch of houses like this
+Damon Melville I use 2.5D
Nice video love it.
So glad you enjoyed it
looks cool
Can you make a video about how to do a roof?
I have been meaning to do this
Amazing!!!
How do you store these creations?
On shelves in my basement...I also use clear plastic containers.
you are very skilled. I feel like you could make me a house out of cardboard and glue gun
SWEET!
I'll take those houses off your hands anyday! lol
soooo cooolll!!!

Wait... is this a re-upload of a much older video with a new intro? :P
Nope
Mighty similar, I'd have to say. Still this one is a food refresher. :)
I need that Mill so bad! >_>
whats cardstock
Basically what a cereal box is made out of.
