In B4 "shoulda made trapdoors functional" comments....didn't want to, that would really be pretty pointless ;P
Hope you guys enjoyed this vid, and I hope it helps all those asking about doing wood texture on foam. If you wanna pick up some tools & supplies to tackle this build don't forget you can help out the channel in the process by grabbing stuff via my essential equipment links: bit.ly/EssentialEquip
Pointlessly awesome, you mean! Just kidding, way too much work for practically no payoff, and would probably make the whole thing far too fragile for actual (or at least, repeated) use.
Ok what about making a working mini guillotine
Definitely more plausible
OK, so that's a no on the trapdoors, but why do the condemned have their weapons drawn. Surely they should be disarmed with their hands tied behind their backs.
2/7 literally unusable, the wood texturing is nice though.
Ian you could actually make one out of a hobby knife blade, but then it may be dangerous
I'm not going to spoil things and let you know I made a guillotine video for next week............but if I were to do something like that, I'd have the same mindset, that making it function would be pointless for game purposes so I wouldn't bother.....not that I've done this or anything....nope. Stay tuned for next friday's episode, it will be a TOTAL surprise.
THANK YOU for steering away from brown wood! Your dark brown wood is the only thing you do that I found annoying, so I literally cheered when you stopped the video to go outside and check out the fence boards. Lovely work as always. For not being a knot guy your nooses aren't bad at all.
You are a true artist and knowledgeable teacher. Thankful for your back catalog. Slowly working my way through it.
Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to this hobby, especially crafting with foam. Been having a blast so far crafting all sorts of things and it made DnD so much more fun.
New People......Seriously, dig into the back catalog of videos.....it is so worth it!!!!
But then they can't ask me question's I've answered 200 times already! :P Thanks for watching :)
This looks great! The weathering is epic!
Jeremy great job again!!! I was wondering if you could do a video of all the game pieces you made for your gaming table, “All the items on your Shelves!!” Behind you when you make your videos!!
I arrived late to this channel… and have watched episode 1 to 101.
Thank you!
I'm working on that right now too
I come back to this video for wood inspiration every time I need to paint it
The absolute first time i see someone to (rightfully) complain about "Just-Brown" Wood. Truly awesome Paintjob. And thanks for your Channel, you helped me getting started in this hobby :)
This is the first video of yours that I watched over a year ago. Thanks for continuing to make amazing content!
Another awesome build.
Damn man.... You are such a pro !
I love this. Stuff that I can use with my paper maps are ALWAYS going to get made. Thanks!!!
Looks great! After building your (really cool) Goblin barricades I'm planning to build a wooden watchtower and would love to see any "light" wooden structures in the future. Thanks your videos!
I do like the colour scheme. Very nice
Have you tried using small lead shot in the knots to make the rope hang better I embed plastic skulls with it to make them hang better on chains if that makes sense
That Death tarot card shirt on the gallows video though.
#details #extraeffort #sealthedeal
I suppose The Hanged Man would have been too on the nose.
Nah, if I had that shirt, you know I'd be doing it.
Where'd you get the Death one btw?
www.redbubble.com......which is the answer for %99 of the shirts I wear in videos.
More excellent foamsmithing.
Very cool transtion from camra to computer
awesome build!
kickass build Jeremy
1st time I am commenting but so much shared knowledge in those videos....So when you texture you wood beam (wearing a mask like you said in other videos) do you vacuum your work station after to remove any particles ? ventilate your room opening windows ? Blow air on the pieces you made to be sure they are clean when you handle them.
I am new and want to use the XPS Foam the right way and safely.
I use a shop vac after doing any sanding to clean up my space! I keep one connected under my desk at all times. Very handy.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Thanks !!!
Best colour match for that light brown you use? Either vallejo or GW?
would guide holes for the tooth picks make the foam less sturdy than just jamming the picks in?
"Not everyone is going to look in the back catalogue. Although, you should"
I am haha
I woulds say for woods, instead of a black modpodge, use a bown version
How would you do a flooded room? One that the characters can go down under the water.
What was that tan he was using?
am i imagining it, or is the top side of the horizontal beam underneath the structure still purple at 13:08 ?
is there a way to make miniatures fully customizable and articulated?
I think the thought/problem behind painting brown wood is that most people either don't know or have forgotten that wood only retains those brown colors for a very short amount of time if its not stained and/or sealed; left exposed to the elements, that brown gets leeched out rather quickly and is replaced with that grey/bleached look. So people just slap a couple of different browns on and call it a day, which is fine if you're looking to make something look like new wood but where's the fun in that?
Really, new wood (most species of softwoods used for timber construction) is naturally a very light yellow/gold, not dark brown. Dark brown really only occurs from stain/preservative, or in hardwoods like walnut that aren’t used for heavy construction. So any dark wood in miniature buildings really implies painted or stained wood if you’re forced to think about it. It’s fine to do that, but it’s fun to try and make things at least a little authentic looking sometimes....mostly because carved grain detail really gets lost when painted very dark.
What kind of foam do you use and where to get it? I'm glad you explained how to do the wood grain. That was my first question. I love your work. I'll subscribe if you tell me where you got the arch stencil on the shelf.
P.s. I lied. I already subscribed. lol
th-cam.com/video/0_vV6X3iHs4/w-d-xo.html
Arch template is from shiftinglands.com
Is it weird that I'd very much like to make you a few nooses and send them your way 🤣
Or it it more weird that my parents showed me how to make them as a kid and I've gotten pretty good at it. 🤔
You fence looks like it had a wood stain on it at one point so it may not have Ben the best reference but the build still turned out great
That's what raw cedar turns into after 10-20 years
wait... even with it painted how are you hitting it with an acrylic spray? Mine always melts if I do that....
Use acrylic sprays that don't melt foam. This brand of clear coat, like Minwax polyeurethane, is safe on foam as long as you spray properly (light passes from over 8" away).
Also, I protect my pieces with mod podge first.
Incredible! How did they manage to keep their weapons while being hanged? Jk 😉😄
Great job! Why haven't those minis used their swords to cut themselves free? ;0)
Well, if they were smart enough to do that, maybe they wouldn't have been captured in the first place.
By far my favorite TH-cam channel. I really enjoy learning your techniques and the way you teach them.
I love this channel! Always very creative and funny. I can’t craft and I don’t even play dnd right now but is it weird I like to watch this before bed since it’s so relaxing?
I watch asmr videos every night to go to sleep.....mostly of people colouring or unboxing things....so no, not weird at all :D
Black Magic Craft yeah, I watch asmr sometimes too. I have insomnia so thanks for putting out videos to help :)
Mackenna Caren I have insomnia as well, I always play rain videos! Or something like a podcast that’s really chilled out.
Knuckle Joe I don’t listen to rain asmr much, but curling up with a blanket during a storm is one of my favorite things for sure. I weirdly enough like the thunder too lol
Killer wood paint job! Very convincing.
I first saw your custom dragon build, after that I subscribed and started watching the tutorials from ep 1. Maybe 3 weeks in and I'm at this episode...
Even though ive seen all your old videos, I still enjoy how you recap on the process of your builds.
Great looking work.
Another great video. Thanks for posting.
If you want to skip the trap door(s) on your tree, set the beam a bit higher so there is room for the barrels/stools that the hangman will kick out from under your minis' feet.
I recommend for weathered looks, especially in wood, to use more greens in a base coat! Humidity and mold tends to green things over time, especially wood. These vids are super inspiring and makes me even more excited to world build for dnd!
Beautiful work man. And loving the new music throughout.
Thank you!
Safety glasses everyone. You never know when crafting.
After once getting molten solder in my eye, I don't mess around with not wearing safety glasses....even when they seem unnecessary, because weird things happen.
You: I wasn't doing good knots so I had to look up a reference.
FBI Agent: oh we got a suicider at {insert address here}
You should have used waxed string for the ropes, it would have worked much better.
That wood coloring is amazing!
Awesome vid as always :D
The wood looks absolutely fantastic. I do really appreciate your effort in trying to produce more realistic wood. This method will be my guide from now on.
Great entrance drop... also just a great video. I liked the more behind the scene adds, but also just how well this project turned out. Definitely copying this!
Thank you!
nice addition to any DM's terrain. Also thanks for the extra content you posted the other day. Much appreciated.
Holy crap this is insane!!! Amazing!!!
Ok, I heard people talking about this video on the Facebook page. I am so happy that I finally had time to watch
Another big build, I respect that.
Well done. 👏👏👏
So awesome dude, can’t wait to make one
I’m pretty sure that I can just use this entire video to build a real gallows in my back yard... lol Your “inner contractor” is showing.
My only problem is "Hirst-itis." The scale is off by at least a factor of 2. I understand that sometimes too big actually looks good, but the right scale ALWAYS looks good.
Anyone have problems with that particular krylon melting foam? I have used other krylon stuff that did. Thanks guys.
Sorry for late comment - maybe this is answered elsewhere but I can't find it. You frequently talk about a 'golden brown' for your new wood painting technique. Your golden brown looks quite a bit more orange'y than the CraftSmart "golden brown" color. Which paint color are you using for this technique?
ever wonder why chip board is called chip board, isn't it just "cereal" box cardboard? I mean I can see a lot of the stuff my mom's putting in the recycle bin and i'm going to sneak in and take it out! hahaha...
I'm so glad that you didn't get all 'hung up' about the whole situation!
LOVING the white 'Yorkshire Rose' on your T Shirt!
This is incredible man love how it turned out
The paint job for the wood looks really great, good work!
Fun build! If you look at ships and fishing villages I think they might have had a lot of other rope built decorative bits.
I feel kind of handicapped here in the UK. No matter where I look I can't find that soft pink foam that you use so often. I have found some but it's nowhere near as good as what you have. It's frustrating. Great build btw.
How come the minis being hung still have weapons? Lol. Love your work bud. Haven’t seen a vid or yours that I didn’t like.
Hi where can i buy black Mod Podge stuff ? i don't find the same model you use in video can you help me ? I've a lot of crafted structure to paint!
OmG I will be using this to make a Evil Horde Hangmans Gallow for my MOTU diromas and customs.
LOL, I watched this specifically to see what clever hack you found to make miniature noose. Well at least I do not feel as bad that I cannot make them easily.
To make a noose for miniatures I use a small jig I made with some MDF board and two finishing nails. Just hammer in the nails enough to hold and as far apart as you need the noose and wraps. From here there's two ways of doing it. The first and easiest way for those that aren't good with knots is a simple overhand knot. Make sure that the knot is at the back side of one of the nails, now cut off a length of the twine and wrap in up to 13 times between the two nails and glue the ends to the wrap and cut off any extra from the ends. I use superglue on the end of a toothpick for this so it can slide up and down freely for now. Now loosen the overhand knot so you can take it off the nails. Slide the wrap to the knot or tighten the not till you have the right size loop you need and glue the wrap to the knot. This will stop it from sliding off and it will look like an actual hangman's noose.
The second way. Like the first coil the twine between the two nails, only if you know how to make a hangman's noose, and on the back coiling (going back towards the noose loop) and make your 13 wraps and finish as you would for a noose. Once done carefully slide the noose off the nails and feed the tail of the twine through the loop on that end and lightly pull the loop at the other end to tighten the noose not and done. You can adjust the loop to the size you need at this point and use glue, superglue or pva or whatever you prefer to lock it in place.
Maybe I should be making videos on how to do all these small detail pieces. Don't have the right camera or much time really to do them though. So I will just give my advice when and where I can I guess.
How dare these people not go back and watch every video, LOL. He's right though, you should.
Applause to the dry brushing, so fucking beautiful!!! :D
To help make nooses, use something like a toothpick while wrapping your loops and remove it after you start to tighten it.
Any crafters in the UK found a suitable finish matt spray that doesn’t melt the foam? - Thanks. 👍🏻
have been watching ur channel for less than a week, havent watched how to make wood grain yet..............oooffff
Yeah, but theres always that one drunk guy in our group who wants to put his finger through the hangman's noose and get it stuck...pulling the gallows halfway off the table.
Ya know my current dragonborn fighter probably could have been ahnged at the gallows for beating the crap out of another dragonborn but i think hed be to tall for most gallows, and maybe too heavy
Incredible, i need one of this for my next session! Thanks, perfect timing!
I'm pretty sure they take the weapons away from the condemned people before hanging them. lol
Love your content.
Note to the town' law enforcement: take away their swords before you try to hang them. 😉
take toothpicks and IMPALE THE FOAM
I would cut the rope with the knife they foolishly allowed me to keed ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!, thanks for this, great video and just what I wanted to do today
That intro caused me physical pain. It was funny but it hurt
Love the fact they were sentenced to death at the gallows, but given all their weapons 🤣
I'm.digging into the back catalogue right now lol
When tying small knots, tie them on a small dowel then slide them off....
so this is why in school they gave us marshmallows and toothpicks
Any thoughts on how to do niches? Possibly for poses statues in?
Dude... beautiful build!
13:15 you can see some pink that you missed. Not nitpicking.
Curious which specific colour are you using for the drybrushing? My Craftsmart "Tan" looks is a lot more gray than what you're using. Is it Suede or Khaki or something like that? Thanks for all the great videos, it's been a real help getting into this new hobby.
It’s either suede or khaki. Don’t remember which because I use both often. But for this its one of those, whichever is the lighter of the two.
Awesome job and vid as always! How do you avoid the planks getting too grainy when using the brush? Mine are constantly grainy, with small flecks/grits of the foam, rather than straight lines :'(
The technique works better in one direction than the other. Foam has a "grain" direction and you want to bursh with the grain rather than across it. Practice on some test pieces to get a feel for identifying the best direction. Sometimes it just happens though depending on the foam.
thanks for providing the links to get the materials
My first thought was he made a video dedicated to me, GALLOWAY! I'm not a hangman but a cool build nevertheless. 👍
Just for you man, just for you.
Ok, just first lemme say im a fan.
I really like your vids and I think you have a great talent for this.
But...i feel like you need to be careful with how you look for inspiration for your painting.
I saw that you looked at your old fence for the color...that looked like old pressure treated lumber. It goes VERY grey with age. and the grey is super intense.
and frankly i feel like you went a little too grey on the gallows.
But that being said there are woods that do turn a more grey tone with age naturaly.
So its not like im saying its wrong or that you messed up.
But just bare in mind that sometimes that old wood you see...is what old "modern" wood looks like.
A gallows was usualy custom built for every hanging. Unless of course they did hangings like every day. Guess then they would keep a set.
But usualy they were built relativly new so a less aged look might have went good. But as said..its cool i really liked it.
and i woulda loved to see some sort of mechanism to release a trap door to make it actuaslly a working gallows.
Also have you made a guillotine?
maybe a whole tourture cell torture dungeon thing would be cool Iron maden the rack and some chains hanging on the wall...that sorta thing?
That fence is cedar bud.
2:07 "I bet you really loved that mixing of metric and imperial measurements"
As a fellow Canadian, I didn't even notice.
Yea bud
Another great video, Jeremy. I've once again been inspired to get to work on actually making things, haha. Sometimes I really just need this kind of jump start, so thanks for that. Cheers!
Now I want to walk around my Grandfather's farm to see what colour all the fences are. I suspect colour will depend a lot on what the wood has been treated with, like creosote/Creocote, especially as some of those treatments are "wood" coloured XD
Of course, age and type of wood are. Dad's hen house for instance, is a shade of brown, but that's because it's former pallet wood coated in a shit ton of creocote >_>
Yea, that's the thing. You will find dark brown wood, usually because it's been stained with a persevative. I tend to imagine things like gallows in fantasy settings to just be natural wood, even if they were using some sort of stains (on houses and such) I doubt it would be used on something like this. The big factor is also what type of wood was used and how long it's been around for. Cedar for example silvers very quickly, where as spruce/pine/fir goes through a bleaching cycle first and takes much longer to go gray.....point of the story is, yea, totally go check out some old wood, see what you find, use that as inspiration! If nothing else you've had a fun day walking around a farm :)
