Andy, yet again another WOW! Love the homemade roller. I've done the same with two simple Dollar Tree combs. However, your take on it seems to provide a lot more control. I've always wanted to get this classic monster but don't like the prices for what you get. This is going to be put on my to-do-build list. Thanks for sharing.
That turned out great, wish I saw this before I actually bought both rollers already haha. Especially like how the end results are always quite randomised due to the diy roller not having edges.
Love your roper. Will make my own "Roll maker" as well - especially if it's not identical to the GreenStuff one. Having the option to build more variations is always awesome to have.
I made 2 so far. The 1st used granny grating on a pair of 3" squares of peel & stick lino tile i had laying around (makes an alligator skin pattern). The 2nd uses bamboo skewers and another pair of lino squares.
Thank you so much, always love the ideas and execution of the videos. Will use this in addition to my existing ones. If you need more ideas for tools - what about airbrush stencils for pennies?
This is a great way to get a texture roller. But, as I own one of these rollers, I can tell you now you aren't getting the same effect. The actual product has sharp points along it, that give it a very crisp angle to the tentacle textures it makes. It also has a selection of sizes and guides that allow for precise control and a variety of designs. The smallest size has a few ridges per mm. I think the way you could replicate the actual product is by creating a tiny sawtooth pattern and dragging it through green stuff or oven bake clay, leaving that to dry. The sealing it with a thin layer of varnish so things don't stick to it. Hopefully you'll then get that very sharp edges like the original has. But in all honesty, if you are making lots of tentacles, cables, wires, textured belts, textured handles or even thin columns or table legs, the real tool is worth the money as the end result is near impossible to replicate on the cheap. The other way you could replicate the real product is with a good resin 3D printer. But not really that cheap unless you already have a 3D printer on hand.
My goodness friend, this is the most useful tip I’ve seen in months. It’s absolute genius, instant subscriber. More please 10/10
"Have fun." Always solid advice.
those rollers...DAMN! I gotta make some too

A classic monster for the classic dungeon crawl adventure! Great work as always ^^
I love it! I've been looking for a budget roll maker for a while, didn't expect to find one here when I clicked your thumbnail! Thank you!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
THAT is a phenomenal-looking Roper, my man!
Freaking awesome!
Fun build, love the texture the kitty litter gives you.
Excellent work on the tentacles, roller & the Roper looks amazing. Another brilliant piece
The homemade roller is an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing, glad to have this new tool in my arsenal.
Glad it was helpful! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Great job as always.
This is incredible! You just saved me from making a very expensive purchase! Can’t wait to build my own roller tomorrow!

I'm really enjoying the classic monsters. You are well on your way to having every monster in the 2nd edition Monster Manual.
I'm glad! If you have a request for a monster, let me know!
Rust monster?

I'll definitely think about that. I've been wanting to get into airbrushing
@@DungeonMiser I use a 0,3mm nozzle one from AliExpress for
Great idea.
Glad you think so!
I use two plastic Hair Combs
