Nice work dude, that scatter terrain came out perfect for those spiders. Also there's no harm in shout Outs, there should be far more of them in the world 😁
WOW this was absolutely amazing Mike! I'm overflowing with amazement 😂 Amazing scatter terrain, a forest adventure and sooooo many new techniques for me to try out and things to buy 😄 Thanks for this!
The algorithm betrayed me and hid this video from me but I just found it. This is incredible. The trees are amazing and the dirty down moss is a real game changer. Soooo many techniques I want to try out now!
Wow, Michael! That was some very awesome scatter terrain! I’ve been using dirty down moss for about three years and love it. If you haven’t already, try the dirty down rust it’s great stuff - Rick, USMC
Hey Rick! Yes mate, the rust one is on my list too!! In fact I fully intend to use it when I am finishing off my Grond Model, which is still in the works :D
Awsome stuff. Definitively going to take some of this home, as I soon also plan to make some rock formations. Very much appreciated.Oh, and I like how bonds and connections are made visible in this video. It just shows how much sharing knowledge and collaboration brings.
Awesome mate love the final look of those trees and terrain too, it’s great that you can manipulate the roots to attach to the ruins just great 👍 Thanks for another great video and I would love to see more of that forest you explored!
I’ve not seen one of your vids before. I’ve recently been watching a few mesbg, diorama building and wild exploration videos generally and youtube has put this forward as the perfect centre of that Venn diagram!
7:28 I hope that it shows every time I watch your video because I've watched it somewhere between 10 and 15 times! Sorry I couldn't give you more than just the one like! But I did subscribe! And yes please show more footage of Devil's Chaple Scowles! It looks ancient and creepy! It's beautiful! Great video Mike! This puts you at the top of my list of craters that I watch for inspiration and tips! Just awesome!
Great video! I really enjoyed watching and learned some new techniques as well. Your personality really makes me want to watch more of your videos. Happy Modeling ~ Cory
Wow, amazing miniature terrain as well as the real forest! I think I may use this way of making the trees (I know of the wire method, just never had seen it done with pipe cleaners).
Really enjoyed the video. You manage to do a good job of being both instructive and entertaining. Would love more footage of you walk through the Forest of Dean. Some very interesting terrain there. Definitely an inspiring journey. I felt for you when you mentioned the broken knife. Good tools can be hard to find, and are sometime even harder to replace if that style, or manufacturer, no longer exists. Interesting tree making methods. I don't think I have either seen either of them before. I liked the final results. My only complaint would be that I feel the terrain was a bit too rocky, and the trees are too short for Mirkwood as described in the books. I would have gone for smaller rocky outcrops, and taller trees, but that is just me. All in all well done, and worth the time watching.
Thank you so much! Yes I see what you mean in terms of size etc... but for tabletop gaming there are also things to consider like the practicalities of game play and also storage of the terrain, so a few bit of artistic licence have been allowed here and there ;)
You were right - what a banger of a video!!😆 I’m SO jealous of your new BeaverCraft set!😱 When you pushed pins in your terrain, I started wincing until I remembered the rocks were foam!😂
Thanks Sam!! The carving set is super nice... not gonna lie. Check the links in my description because I think there is some discount applied. Just not sure about international shipping etc
I knew you'd smash it with this project but those webs are a great idea! Especially being tucked into those rocks. Great job and I look forward to the next one!
I love this video and have been making Mirkwood scatter terrain every since I first saw it! I've scoured youtube looking for any other good videos showing how to make forest terrain, and they are few and far between and pale in comparison with yours!
Thank you so much! Yes, that forrest is beautiful! I want to camp there some day... although that is a little scary considering it is called Devils Chapel 😅
@@Nat1videos Lots of uses, tree trunks and limbs, use a fork to make bark lines. Use it for basing material. It is hard as a rock, mixes with water, add some PVA glue for extra adhesion. Caution though, too much liquid and it may warp MDF or poster board. FYI, I think that Kraut Glue is just PVA mixed with water, model railroaders use that a lot.
Thank you so much! Please do make your own. And if you need any tips feel free to jump in to my discord server... there is a great community there more than willing to help :D
Did the Krautcover darken when pouring the fixer on top? I've tried to do that with Geek Gaming Scenics, and that majorly changed colour. .edit - spectacular result - lovely scatter terrain.
@@Nat1videos Some of the base-ready mixes - can't remember the exact name, but the ones where theres a mix of static grass, rocks, coloured sawdust, sand, etc
![Games Workshop sent me a MOUNTAIN OF PLASTIC | Osgiliath [7]](/img/n.gif)
A video of the forest would be very nice if you had remaining footage.
Ok great! I will definitely do that at some point soon :D
A tour of locations that inspired Tolkien could be a neat little mini series 🤔
DEFINITELY !!!
Those trees blew my mind! Thank you for the demo. Great work.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching :D
This is the coolest method of making trees I've ever seen!
I agree! Fun, easy and they look great :D
Nice work dude, that scatter terrain came out perfect for those spiders. Also there's no harm in shout Outs, there should be far more of them in the world 😁
Cheers dude! We need to get on that Collab with nenji at some point ;)
@@Nat1videos Aye, getting back k to content creation is a goal for the near future and then I'm well up for that collab
These are easily some of the best forest scatter pieces I've ever seen! absolute works of art!
WOW this was absolutely amazing Mike! I'm overflowing with amazement 😂 Amazing scatter terrain, a forest adventure and sooooo many new techniques for me to try out and things to buy 😄 Thanks for this!
Cheers Jake! I thought you of all people might enjoy the nature footage. Glad it was a hit :D
@@Nat1videos oh yeeeah! Definitely one of the best forests I've seen and haven't been... I'll have to change that and get lost in there too 😅
The algorithm betrayed me and hid this video from me but I just found it. This is incredible. The trees are amazing and the dirty down moss is a real game changer. Soooo many techniques I want to try out now!
This is one of my favourite video tutorials! I watched it 3 times :) Those trees (and everything else) look incredible!
Awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again for the tip on the Horse hair ;)
Wow, Michael! That was some very awesome scatter terrain! I’ve been using dirty down moss for about three years and love it. If you haven’t already, try the dirty down rust it’s great stuff - Rick, USMC
Hey Rick! Yes mate, the rust one is on my list too!! In fact I fully intend to use it when I am finishing off my Grond Model, which is still in the works :D
Your LOTR dioramas are the best. I’m just repeating myself I know but there’s no other way you can describe them. Fab!
Mate that Mirkwood set is perfect, love it! 🌳 I really want to try some of those methods, especially the melty pipe cleaner fun! Great video man 🔥
Thank you bud! Yeah man, pipe cleaners for the win :D
Really enjoyed this. A simple concept but carried out in such a detailed way that it exceeded what I was expecting. In a good way. Loved it. 🙌🏻
Thanks so much ! Really glad you enjoyed it :D
This is great! The pipe cleaners trick is very cool
Yep! Be sure to check out Encounter Terrain on instagram ;)
Awsome stuff. Definitively going to take some of this home, as I soon also plan to make some rock formations. Very much appreciated.Oh, and I like how bonds and connections are made visible in this video. It just shows how much sharing knowledge and collaboration brings.
Absolutely ! Sharing knowledge is what its all about :D
Fine. I’ll go get myself some pipe cleaners.
Amazing job Mike! 😮 Really gets you in the mood.. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you Slavko!! Annnnnnd I hear that congratulations are in order !?!
@@Nat1videos hahaha yeah! Ok... As soon as I get back from my honeymoon I'm getting the pipe cleaners.
Wonder Web is also great for spider webs. Its fine and a bit translucent.
ohhhh yeah! Thats a great shout :D
The tree method is amazing.
Yeah I love it! Defo check out Encounter terrain on Instagram, tell him I sent you lol
Gorgeous pieces mate! I've been meaning to try out that dirty down stuff for ages but have never got around to it. It worked out great!
Cheers Adam!! Yeah man, I'm looking forward to trying the rust now!! Hope you are well man, looking forward to seeing some more content from you ;)
Another stellar project, man
Thank you Steve! Much appreciated bro :D
CREEPY? CREEPY? CREEPY? Yeah, I can't argue with that. Amazing build
haha cheers Lawrence! And thanks for the handy tip ;)
Awesome mate love the final look of those trees and terrain too, it’s great that you can manipulate the roots to attach to the ruins just great 👍 Thanks for another great video and I would love to see more of that forest you explored!
Thank you man!! Was a bit of a trek getting this video out, but got there in the end. Really appreciate you watching :D
Stellar work my dude, those pieces look amazing. An exploration video would be epic!
Cheers bro! Cool man, a couple have asked for the same! I will put something together :D
I’ve not seen one of your vids before. I’ve recently been watching a few mesbg, diorama building and wild exploration videos generally and youtube has put this forward as the perfect centre of that Venn diagram!
Welcome aboard!! i am so glad you found my channel :D
Great video! I think these pieces of scatter terrain are your best yet! I will be trying these techniques out with my kids asap!
Thank you so much! Yes, I am really pleased with how they turned out. On to the next project :D
Those trees look fantastic. I picked up the Rangers of Shadowdeep book yesterday and this is vibe I want to do for the scenery!
Awesome! Sounds like the universe ise telling you to build some terrain haha
Wow! Amazing video. This is a project this is definitely the type of project making my shortlist.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful, I hope you enjoy making your terrain :D
The dirty down stuff is great
I LOVE it!!
Damn! Really good job with these, so I guess I’m doing forest terrain now. Your vid made my evening 😁👍🏻
Thank you! That is music to my ears mate, have fun :D

Thanks Cory! That is honestly one of the nicest comments I have... to be complimented on my personality ... :D Thank you !!
Looking awesome! Build is great but those expressions when you're shaking up the moss, they stole the show for me 🤣
Thank you mate !! haha yeah man... I do make some weird faces. My wife has been telling me for years lol
Wow I love the rock formations and what you did with those pipe cleaners. I subscribed!
Wow, I am blown away, this terrain is gorgeous, and you used a variety of techniques I have never seen before. Well done, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Phillip! Really glad you found it helpful :D
Beautiful work, as ever, Michael. The build is excellent, and your vid production skills rock. Always fun hanging out and crafting with you
Thanks Cross! Yeah man, the hangouts are great!! Need to get another one booked in soon ;)
Wow, amazing miniature terrain as well as the real forest! I think I may use this way of making the trees (I know of the wire method, just never had seen it done with pipe cleaners).
Yeah the pipe cleaners method is really good! Let me know if you like the texture before or after adding texture paste ;)

@@Nat1videos I can imagine it would be!
Beautifully done! Great tips and real life inspiration. Thank you!
Thanks so much Kim, really glad you enjoyed it :D
Durham's Rock Hard Wood Putty.
Ohhhh for which part of the build?

This is some gorgeous scatter terrain with the perfect creep factor!!!! ❤😊❤
Thanks so much!! I'm glad it has the creep factor, mission accomplished :D
@@Nat1videos you are welcome 🤗
Definitely mission accomplished!
Looking great. Well done.
Beautifully stunning terrain!!! Bless ya for shoot oot.

This is just an awesome pice of a wholesome video ❤
Thank you so much :D
Great stuff. Actually learned a lot of new stuff!
Trees are epic
Thanks so much ! :D
The language you used earlier in the video made me think, when I was younger all of my friends were tools! 🤣 These turned out great!
haha I know exactly what you mean ! Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it :D
well. i know what im doing today. great video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Oh yes! The Forrest of Dene 😍
A beautiful place!!
Did the Krautcover darken when pouring the fixer on top? I've tried to do that with Geek Gaming Scenics, and that majorly changed colour.
.edit - spectacular result - lovely scatter terrain.
It initially darkened and then lightened up again as it really dried out... Which basing product where you using ?
@@Nat1videos Some of the base-ready mixes - can't remember the exact name, but the ones where theres a mix of static grass, rocks, coloured sawdust, sand, etc
Wow! Nice builds!
Thank you so much! I am glad you like them :D
@@Nat1videos *subsribing noises*
super cool!
Thanks so much :D
This is epic!
Thank you so much! :D
I want my whole house to look like this😂🥰
Fantastic forest! The characters and critters added to it, as well! =^[.]^=
Thank you! Yes, Benji and John both did a great job! I love their contributions :D
Where do you get the rubberized horse hair? Amazing work btw. I learned more from binge watching your videos on a Friday night than I ever have
Great stuff! What is the music you're using around 7:20? It's gorgeous!
Thank you! That track is called My Soul Delights by Bonnie Grace :)
Amazing
Thank you so much :D
Forest footage yes please
Where do you get the horses hair from
Where did you get the rubberized horse hair?
