    Finally, a static grass process that doesn't involve expensive tools. Excited to give this a go. Thank you.

    I never thought of using a balloon for static grass, what a brilliant idea! I also really admire your modular tile design. Looking forward to more from this channel.

      Naa, can't recommend it. Tried it once before, either it does not work at all "at best extremely poorly, or all the grass will be lost on the balloon itself. I hand placed my grass upwards directly into the clue, it was much better and not any less of a hazzle then trying to use a balloon.

    To sanitize soil or any natural debris you might want in your terrain, you can bake them beforehand. Preheat the oven to 200°F (90⁰C). Spread the soil/branches/twigs out on a baking tray. Heat the soil to an internal temperature of 180°F (80⁰C) and keep it like that for about 30min, (or just keep it in the oven for like...45min?) *MONITOR CLOSELY in case the fire fairy comes to visit.* Then shut off the oven and let cool down to room temperature with soil inside. I'm no scientist, but this has worked for me so far. Don't @ me if your soil comes to life in 3 years. 😬 (Also beware the interesting smell that will likely fill your kitchen for the next few hours... Thanks @The8BitDuke for the added note!)

      Things like this are why I absolutely love your presentation. You go above & beyond to educate your audience about the steps you've taken to accomplish your project, with annotated references to where you learned certain techniques & in depth instructions to how to accomplish what you have shown in an incredibly digestible way to the most layman of us all.
      I can not wait to see how you progress in your career & your business grows. You are going to be an absolute giant in this industry if you just keep doing what you're doing and improve upon the formula as you see fit. Your presentation is already phenomenal & so personable that there's nowhere to go but up in this business. Keep up the phenomenal work & I'm absolutely positive that your dreams will come true.

      Not sure why, but the soil and bark I put in caught fire. 10 minutes at 200°F, right after the preheating was done. Spread out over a 15" sheet.

      @@digidragon1 Oh no that's crazy! I honestly don't know why it would do that unless there was something in the wood or soil that would catch fire at lower temperatures. And just to confirm it was 200⁰F and not ⁰C? Either way I'm glad you caught it! I'll put in a stronger warning of potential fire in my original comment for others.

    The pacing, the editing, the craft - this is an excellent video and I am very glad YT recommended your channel to me today! I also greatly appreciate you placing the sanitization recommended method in the comments, as videos that say "just sanitize it" (or worse, don't mention how essential it is) never helped me find a good method for doing so safely/easily, but it is nice to have some possible instructions in 1 place and by the same person showing the results! (the smell is always fun for those new to doing that....!)
    Really loved the way you did the wave across the drawing to the tiles themselves, and how you pace the instructions so well. Using a carpenter's square on the Proxxon is a great idea, as I have tried the other fence guides and all that and still have trouble with pushing too hard and making my tiles a little lop sided. I actually almost went with deciding not to do any "tiles" anymore and just big boards, but the modularity (and storage!) would be nice - you've rekindled my interest in making something like this, so thank you!! Keep the great work - subscribed for sure!

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wow, I greatly appreciate the elaborate feedback--it really helps me to know what viewers find helpful and enjoyable in their experience so I can continue to improve/what to continue doing. I'm definitely going to add a note about the smell from soil-sanitizing haha.
      I admit that getting the tiles to be a perfect 90 degrees can be somewhat tedious and infuriating, especially if it's repeatedly crooked (sigh), but yeah I found the carpenter square helps. One tip I would say is to actually invert how it's lined up against the fence guide, (and to accommodate the extra width of the ruler by calculating your cutting distance from the ruler itself), because it kept wanting to fall before I started by cuts with the heavy overhang, and there's enough to worry about movement-wise as it is. I hope that's useful to you and that you do find success in trying again!

Your presentation is fabulous, your on screen presence is top notch & extremely personable & your artistic merit is absolutely phenomenal! These tiles are absolutely gorgeous and realistic beyond words. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this video & I cannot wait to go through your entire catalog & see what I can add to my own personal repertoire.
    Thank you for everything you've shared in this video & all those I'm about to binge watch. I especially liked that you gave credit to those who you've taken inspiration from in creating your own designs. That shows a tremendous amount of maturity & humbleness that I personally feel is too often missing nowadays. I absolutely can not say enough good things about this video.

    before sealing if you are working with a slightly heavy/thicker sealant such as watered down pva glue. I would recommend putting some isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and giving it a light dusting to help brake surface tension. it helps keep it from creating blobs and filling in cracks which can remove depth from the piece.

    Balloon trick is outrageously helpful, I tended to just put flock for the grass in my wooded terrain and call it close enough because I didn't want to bother with a static grass applicator. So thanks for the great tip from a genuinely informative video.
    Big respect for just using regular krylon clear coat too.

    • @raecheldoes

    0:45 This is the first time I've ever watched one of your videos but I'm already stoked about it because of this trick that you're using to cut a vertical piece without using one of the Shifting Lands Proxxon guides! I don't know why I never thought of using a box like that! Subbing!

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm happy to spread different ideas! The Shifting Lands guides are awesome but they're pricey so I'm all for the cheap alternatives. I did glue a pieces of semi-gloss poster board on top to make the box smoother, in case that helps.

    Brilliant! This has just solidified an idea I've been tossing around for years. My mistake was in visualising larger tiles, I think.
    I never would have thought of spraying matt varnish over the top of grass though. I would have thought it would become more brittle, rather than stronger. The snow effect you get from using the varnish is usually if the air is too humid, by the way. I tried varnishing some models after a storm and they all came out frosted. This was solved by a second layer of varnish, though.

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว

      Woohoo! Glad to inspire. Both RP Archive and Geek Gaming Scenics sprayed their grass, so I gave it a go. It's honestly really worked for me. And thank you for the matte varnish tip! It's good to know that it can be solved with another drier attempt haha.

    Love this I have built alot of rp archives stuff
    I love how modular these appear to be. Rather than making a "cut path" these seem alot more versatile. Love the vid, keep it going!

      Yes I love his stuff so much as well!! Thank you for the compliments!

    Wow these look beautiful, congrats! I love the idea for static grass, so practical. I'm making wilderness tiles at the moment, so I'll definitely be adding some of these techniques to the tiles!

    This is really cool!
    The tile system would be great for modular trenches!

    This is excellent. I can see so many uses and cool ideas for feature tiles (4x4 or 6x6).

      Thank you very much! I do think the pun counter is here to stay haha. Looking forward to making more!

    Great work.
    IMO, you'd use 1/2 as many magnets if you put the magnets on the bottom and played on a magnetic surface. Our local "big box" stores have dry erase boards that are also magnetic. i strip the frame off, lay down a 1" grid with heavier lines every 5" for easy counting. Just using two gives us enough room for any situation.
    JC Magnetics (the place I buy mine) are great, but they aren't cheap when one thinks of doing 20-40 tiles.

    This was really, really good! High production value video, great narration and the steps seems easy to follow all the way. But most importantly an excellent end result with the tiles. This is BETTER than most of the big channels out there...

    • @raecheldoes

    Terrific artwork and an extremely well presented video too! Easy to follow, fun, clear and concise. Good music, perfect editing - well done! Thank you for sharing this clever project. I think my crafty wife and I could have a lot of fun with this and my players will love the finished product as well! The balloon trick is ingenious! Never would've thought of that 😃 Polyester is adorable, btw 🐶

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @robpaintsminiatures

    This is an amazing technique and love the modularity of the whole thing... I may have to do something similar but in a bigger size for wargaming table terrain!

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! I'm so used to smaller tabletop sizes so I would love to see how it can be adapted to larger tile sizes!

  • @donjuandon
    @donjuandon ปีที่แล้ว

    Just stumbled on this video and it's fantastic!! I've been trying to come up with a good way to do more modular wargame layouts, and doing 6x6" or 12x12" tiles might work great while still being easy to store and flexible for the layout. Thanks so much for this!

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd love to know how that goes! I am tempted to add one or two 12x12's as well so we'll see if that comes out in the future. Thanks for your encouragement and you're very welcome for the inspiration!

    Great Video! I'm just getting into terrain building and really love RPArchive's modular system, but I'm also always on the look out for ways to add variation and new techniques within that system. This is perfect for that! You also probably just saved me $75 I was eventually gonna spend on a static grass applicator☺

    • @raecheldoes
      @raecheldoes  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ah yes RP Archive helped propel my modular game 10x. Happy to add to the library and the savings!
