Nice builds however you don't want a hole in the roof,unless you are never going to have a fire in your roundhouse,fire and hole equals burnt down roundhouse.
Holy shit. Didnt even register these were topped despite the amount of doc I had on the subject, go figure... why is that, air suction? I seem to remember that Viking longhouses actually had no issue with an actual hole on the roof, but these ain't round for sure. In any case thanks for your input! I'll defenetly tweak my build and i'll pin your comment for viewers! Cheers!
@@LandvaettrsLair it seems as if this is the case with the suction,we will probably never know for certain but experimental archaeology has indicated this.its a fascinating subject.the weaving of the wattle as shown in your video is one of the methods i use in my builds and i can often be found sitting in front of the tv with cocktail sticks and a ball of upholsters thread weaving away.back to work now weaving some gambions for an artillery battery ,cheers keep up the excellent work.
@@adriantomkinson149 Interesting to know, gotta look into this when I get a little time, Getting real intrigued about it. Happy weaving for your artillery pieces and thanks for your input, cheers!
@@CrankyPantss interesting to know, however most image reference do show closed roofs, gotta look into this when I get a little time, Getting real curious about this... Thanks for your input!
This comments are gold. Thanks.
This is a BRILLIANT way to do thatched roofs! Thank you!
Now and then I just have to revisit these videos. I hope you're out there playing games, and having fun.
Thanks man! Yes, still playing games and having fun!
This is the best terrain/building tutorial I have seen because you don’t use fancy expensive materials you use what you can find around your house
Dunno if that's the best tutorial but wehn I can I always favor common materials! That way most crafters out there can craft it with ease, even newcomers! Thanks for tyou feedback! Cheers!
I just want to say thank you. Your craft helped me through my anxiety. Didn’t even know when it left me😅. Just wait for me to show u my project from ur tutorials. Keep crafting boss.
Awesome if this helped you fight anxiety! 💪I'd be super happy to see your project! Don't forget to tag me if you upload it lnon social media, or you can send a mail also! Take good care and keep on crafting! Cheers!
The thatch roof technique is the best I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing those ideas. also love the wattle and daub look.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked! Cheers!
Since everyone is way amazed about the rooftops, which caught me, too. They are so beautiful and they don't look to difficult to make. But then there is the surprise: the hotglue-stone-technic looks incredible! Holy mayonnaise! Thank you for the shot at the end.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the technique, took a little more steps than expected but the result does look awesome imo.
all I kept telling myself was.... no way he did this that way..... awesome.
Simple easy techniques can get you pretty far, thanks for you comment mate, cheers!
First time here. Subbed.
I love the intro. I think I like the stone and stick hut.
Très content de retrouver tes vidéos. On peut dire que le confinement a boosté ta créativité. Introduction amusante, partie instructive sur les techniques de construction et enfin très belle maitrise de la mise en peinture notamment des pierres.
Merci pour ton retour Patrick! Content que la qualité soit au rendez-vous. Les pierres sont pas mal mais j'y suis sans doute allé un peu fort sur le vert et le bleu de certaines pierres, pas encore l'habitude! C'est pas grave live & learn comme disent les anglo-saxons!
Landvaettr's Lair : pour ma part c’est très bien et cela change des pierres noires ou grises que l’on voit habituellement et qui est peu crédible sauf pour les régions volcaniques
I am enjoying your videos. It really explains each step in creating your Thatched Roundhouses and Huts. I especially liked your method using twine to create the Thatched roof. Being resourceful using old tape rolls are ingenious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback, glad the video proves to be resourceful to you!
@@LandvaettrsLair Do you any suggestions for creating individual slabs for larger village setups?
I usually go for modularity and scatter pieces for RPG purposes, but you could very well set them on a slab and create paths and a town square. If its for rpg or wargaming I would suggest to keep the space practical for miniatures or unit to deploy. If its dor diorama purposes you can get crazy with details, vegetation and terrain.
Thanks for adding the shortcut links!
So glad to be your new subscriber
The uploads are rather sparse lately due to the newcoming of a child. Channel aint dead though just on hold. Cheers !
Great tutorial! I'm in the midst of making a slightly larger one now using munchers (toddler cheetoes) cardboard canisters (4" diameter). Can't wait to get one under my belt, then start mass producing them.
A reconstructive archeology video I watched on TH-cam had reconstructed a Celtic roundhouse, and a closed thatch roof with no smoke hole worked quite well. The space was big enough for the smoke to rise above head level, and the smoke would slowly filter out through the thatch itself. The smoke and carbon monoxide would build up a bit near the roof, but this helped to snuff out any errant sparks that were thrown up by the fire, extinguishing them before they reached the flammable thatch.
Interesting finds! Thanks for the feedback and the reconstructive archelogy facts. Cheers!
Here's the video in question, timestamped to where they are talking about the fires, smoke, and why Celtic roundhouses lacked chimneys: th-cam.com/video/XYoZcvqWE2g/w-d-xo.html
This is extremely useful I'm crafting right now and needed to see your videos. I need to get some twine to make my thatch roof
Glad this was helpful, did your thatched roofs went well ?
I'm diggin' the thatched roof...off to watch the original video since I'm looking for a rectangular shape for my current build. My gang is headed into a swamp and a gritty thatched roof is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!
Nice. Swamp heh? Don't hold back on wethering effects then! Cheers!
I absolutely love this ❤️
Thank you for your nice comment!
Laughed my way through your great intro! This was another fantastic build. I liked seeing your reference images and hearing how long the wattle-weaving took you to do. I also love how you use what you’ve got (including garbage like tape rolls) instead of just buying new things. Thank you!
Glad you liked the intro, these are by far the most creative and entertaining part when making a tutorial. Takes quite some extra time tho lol. Glad you liked the creative process as well, I really try to recycle as much I can and alxays aim to make do with what most crafters could either have home or could easily afford! Thanks for your feedback! Cheers!
@@LandvaettrsLair Definitely some great acting career ahead. Would love to have some outro too !
Fantastic results and a great tutorial, thanks!
In reading about thatched roofs in use today I noticed two things you may enjoy hearing. First the round or oval shape allowed the thatch to be put on as a spiral rather than in concentric circles which was easier to do. second the thatch allows smoke to sift through the thatch with out making a hole for it, the smoke helps to preserve the thatch. Yes if the fire is too large it or uses fuel that causes sparks it can set fire to the roof so the occupants may have restricted themselves to using charcoal.
Interesting finds! Thanks for your input! If Im not mistakened chacoal started being actively produced during the Copper age for mettallirgic reasons but theres no doubt the process was known before, for exemple for baking ceramics. I doubt it was frequently used for domestic use but I could be wrong. Yeah it seems the smoke helped preserve the thatch, maybe the carbon released... the thatching of the rooftop also seem different in some cases, probably to favor smoke exhaust. All in all these houses were probably very smoky on the inside...
This is one of the best crafting videos I have ever seen! Im going to try these for Infamy! Infamy!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked.
All of your builds are doable with simple tools and materials but look absolutely brilliant, and are based on "real life" structures or formations. I really enjoy this channel a lot! I wish I'd see this before I made my own roundhouses, yours look much better than mine. Gonna try out your technique for wattle fences though.
You deserve more views and subscribers mate!
Glad you found this inspiring and thanks for the support!
There were several reasons why they didn't have a hole in the roof. Firstly it was a lot warmer. Secondly, the roof was high enough not to worry about catching fire and as already noted the oxygen level at the top of the roof was low, decreasing any risk of fire. Thirdly the smoke seeped out of the roof virtually all the way round deterring fleas, lice, bed bugs etc. Fourthly, outside animals, mice and birds would not want to nest in the roof or keep stealing the straw to take to other places! However it was not very healthy for the human inhabitants as a lot of the smoke was inhaled leading to lung and breathing problems!
These look amazing like always :D You do such an awesome job thank you so much for sharing!
Damn! Amazing design, incredible execution!
Thanks man! Appreciated
This is FANTASTIC! I have got to make these!
Go make'em then! Cheers!
You've done it again ... created a masterpiece ...
Your ability to combine colors and texture is just amazing, really really great work.
If one day, you should be struck by boredom and had an irresistible desire to build a "little" something ...
Then please please pleeeeease ... let it be a Viking longhouse and/or a Viking farmhouse 👍😉
Many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work 👌😊
Outstanding Work thank you God Bless.
Well done. I was excited to see you putting out another video.
Will do my best. Already have an idea.
These are stunning! Fantastic buildings.
Thanks!
Another gorgeous build. Great tips and solutions. Thanks for the upload!
Thank you for your comment! Cheers!
Well done that man. These look incredible.
Thanks man, appreciated.
Awesome tutorial
Awesome build dude! The end result looks great 👌
Thanks mate!
excellent
Thanks!
Awesome work…..
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the feedback!
This is truly a very useful tutorial. Thank you. Waiting for more such videos.
Thanks, glad it helped! Don't hold your breath tho the uploads are a bit erratic. 😆
Good to see you back with another cool project! 👍👍👍
Glad I could pull that off lol! Thanks for your feedback, Cheers!
Inspired job, creative and realistic...and a gorgeous intro btw!
Thanks for the feedback! Intros are nearly half the work lol
Super dope
What a great video, you always make me want to build your terrain. Keep up the great work and we'll see you on your next video
Thanks for the support! I adready have a new idea, lets see If I can find the time!
looks great
Thanks!
Dude - your stuff is awesome. I dont know how I didnt find your channel before. This rocks.
Welcome on-board! The channel isn't overly active happy to have you here nonetheless!
Excellent! Great follow-up to the other thatched roof video.
Thanks for your feedback!
Beautiful work! Well done!
Thanks!
Amazing tutorial. Loads of really unique tips for some truly believable results.
Thanks! Glad you liked!
Top notch! Thanks!
Youre welcome and thank you for your comment!
Love your wattle technique. Useful crafting and relaxation all in one.
Glad you like. Cheers!
excellent, I spent some time in Uganda and was amazed at these round houses, they were baked mud brick and coated with mud stucco, the earth tone was very red, love your idea for thatch, I was amazed at how circular they were, I was able to see some construction of long houses but not the round ones
This looks brilliant, I will try to incorporate this in my eventual diorama, especially for animal shelters.
Superb work.
Thanks you!
Love the quality you bring. I was going to use faux fur for my thatch, but this twine technique can't be denied.
This technique is probably the faster it gets with twine, but gluing faux-fur is defenetly faster! Boils down to what finish you want for the pieces really.
Tabletop crafters so often miss the impact of plaster/daub in building materials. The ubiquitous "medieval house" is often wattle and daub. Most castles were plastered and white-washed when they were new, a detail often lost on us modern folk because most such coverings wore away over time. For that matter, many castles of the era were made of wood, not stone, the plaster and white-wash serving to make them indistinguishable from a stone castle. Again, we tend to not think of castles made of wood, because they all rotted away centuries ago.
So thanks for not only replicating period building materials, but showing at least one cottage in the process of losing its daub, exposing the wattle beneath. It would be nice to see more terrain crafted to show this effect.
Yes! Most medieval castles actually ressembled more the White castles traditionnally seen in old fairytales than the grim dark look that is in todays fashion...
Great video! I liked how you showed different options and how to build them. The tape roll is a really good idea! Keep these videos coming. I am subscribing.
Welcome on Landvaettr's Lair and thanks for the feedback! Cheers!
Great video and fantastic result. Quite laborious, but it worths it so much.
Thanks Karkaj! The roofs were actually pretty fast to craft, but the stonework did take a significant amount of time...
Just amazing, really thanks for sharing with us :D
Glad you liked! Thanks for your comment!
GREAT VIDEO - love your intros - thanks for all the different techniques - I literally just saved the roll from a roll of duct tape so now I have something to try
Glad you liked the intro, these are fun but long to make... Go ahead, if you ever post it on the Tabletop Crafting Guild on Fb dont forget to tag me id love to see you take!
Really nice video, I'll be trying that. Very cool that you did a few different types.
Glad if it got you inspired. Thanks for your feedback!
very nice, Great job..
Thank you!
Well I've noone to play any rpg's with anymore, but I am building a fairy garden in my bedroom and your hut-building technique is perfect! I also watvhed the crafting muse so...good to know you both recommend the twine method for making thatch! Thanks so much :)
Cool video thank you
they look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, also pretty easy to make!
Very good.
Thanks.
I love this technique. I used your original thatched roof technique in my Farmhouse video. Thank you for this.
Saw your content. Glad you liked the vid man, however if you wanna show actual appreciation might consider mentioning the original content creator of the technique, or at least don't take credit for it man, that was kinda rude...aside from this I like the concept of your Channel of crafting brothers, to my knowledge it's one of a kind.
@@LandvaettrsLair I did not mean to take credit for your technique, I feel really bad now... This was one of the first things I ever built and when I edited it down, I cut out the part that mentions your channel. Again, I feel really bad as you were one of the first crafters I found inspiration from. I promise to give you full credit in future videos. Thank you for calling me out on this, it helps me to be part of this growing community.
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 It's okay man, there's no hard feeling really. I saw your content way back and didn't bother calling you out on that one because I didn't want to pick on you... After all the crafting community is meant to share techniques and I understood you wanted to grow you community. It just appared a little disingenuous you coming around thanking me on videos afterwards, so I figured I'd tell you. I wish you the best with your channel, you have a nice concept there with the Crafting Brothers! Cheers!
These look absolutely awesome, you are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for sharing this :-)
Thank you for your appreciative comment! Cheers!
Great craft & nice video! ..Loved the intro - Beard on!🍺
Thanks! Glad you like the intro 🍻
So I saw your post on one of the fb groups and thought to myself, nice looking thatch! Then I saw how you achieved it and said, dang, that’s going to take awhile! Awesome work my friend! You’re very talented. I too love making scenery. 🙂
This is a really awesome build idea! I made one for my group immediately! You are not only a really good crafter but you are also quite a good artist as well! The only thing I didn't care for in doing this build was how much jute twine the roof used. I went through an entire thing of it. But it does look really good!
Thanks! It does use quite a bit of twine, but nothing goes to waste. Would gladly see the result of your crafting! Cheers!
@@LandvaettrsLair Sent you some photos on facebook!
19:34 that violence ! Really love the opening. God i know this bed and i know this blanket. How nostalgic ... now i am bading !!
The post prod made a fast UP since you've got your new phone. Clear and well done, no doubt that anybody who want's to tatch his/her wife/husband will know how to do.
Violence is my middle name. Don't bad man, Batman is way cooler. I'll thatch you if you thatch me bro.
Sweet I had the idea for a celtic board
Glad if this helps! Cheers!
Great intro,thats what i like here :)
Hehe glad you like, I defenetly enjoy making these ;)
The woven wall techniques is also good for trench lines walls.
These are great, makes me think of old Castrejo buildings such as in Citania de Briteiros... I'll need to make some of these.
Thanks, if you ever post it on the Tabletop Crafting Guild on Fb dont forget to tag me id love to see your take!
Landvaettr's Lair daccordo
wow!
Great build. I'm experimenting with this technique now. I have found that I can unwind the twine on the strips of thatching by dipping the free ends in a bowl of boiling water for a few seconds.
NIce technique i'll try if I ever craft new thatched roofs!
very good!
Thanks!
I wonder how well it would work if you used baskets from a thrift store or the Dollar store to build the base, so that you don't have to do all of the weaving yourself.
Seems like a great idea to save up time if you can get a hand on it! If theyre made out of actual rattan or wicker id suggest wetting the fibers to get more flexibility. But its a great idea for the weaving part!
Absolutely superb work! I had been struggling to find a good quality and authentic looking solution for thatching and your technique has now become my go to! Simple and extremely effective. I hope you don't mind but your video inspired me to share my own take on the technique (I gave credit and linked to your original video). Anyway I just wanted to thank you for sharing.
Cool mate, happy to see the tutorial prooved useful to you, nice easy to follow tutorial you got there thanks for giving credits to the OG tutorial. Wishing you all the luck with your new channel!! Cheers!!
Beautiful work!! Woa
Cecilia
Thank you Cecilia!
Thank you for this great video! I'm in the process of making a hut and it's awesome. A tip for the hot glue stones- I don't have a small hot glue gun, so I found it easier to blob stone shapes into a non sticky paper (like for stickers), and after they cool, peel and glue them to the hut wall. It allows more control and less wait between stones "coats", as all of them call at the same time and I can also texture them before.
Glad the video was useful to you! Sure good idea to adapt to your own contraints and find new ways! Would gladly see the result of your craft!
@@LandvaettrsLair I just finished yesterday, the roof part was indeed very messy :) is there a way I can send you a picture?
Ohh I love this! Can you make a video on where you store all the miniatures you make? Also how you take care of them?
Hey sorry about the late reply. Im actually working on just that atm, a miniature display-case. I'll do a showcase in not too long. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers!
Hey, looks great! In going to try it. Lots of round cardboard tubes in the shelf.
Do it! I'd be happy to see the result.
3:00 And thus, Merida was born from a tube of glue. Sticky redhead !
This is actually Bola, viking shieldmaiden. She's the miniature curently used by one of my players for her OC.
very nice :)
Just found the channel. You've earned a sub
Welcome onboard!
We miss you! Hope you and your loved ones are healthy and doing well! Slainte!
Hey Coleen, Im doing great, just been crazy busy is all (we've recently had a child 😉). Aint got time for TH-cam atm but you can follow me on instagram I do paint minis from time to time! instagram.com/landvaettr/
Slainte!
@@LandvaettrsLair congrats on the little one!!
@@coleenknickelbein8063 thanks!
So many roundhouse's...Chuck Norris would be proud!
lol
Excellence.
That's very flattering. Thanks.
Pour les murets, tu peux utiliser les cartons ou l'on renge les œufs, je crois que c'a s'appelle du papier gaufré....
Oui la texture est interessante et jy ai pensé, mais je voulais que les pierres ressortent de la masonnerie, et aucune envie de découper les pièces séparémenindivduellement. Au final j'ignore si cela aurait été plus long car le muret a pris pas mal d'étapes différentes, mais a mon avis le resultat est tout de même supérieur niveau texture et forme des rochers... Merci pour ton conseil ceci dit, il existe en effet de très belles réalisations de maçonneries avec ces emballages d'oeufs!
amazing tuthorial..big secret just i know..
You've said too much and you have my curiosity. What big secret did you unveil?
any thoughts on how to avoid getting the linear row effect on the thatch? i'm looking for a scruffier thatch and the only thing i could think of would be deliberately cutting the rows unevenly in the first step, or making smaller rows, shaping them a bit, and then applying them like shingles
If you have a trimer you could just Trim the strips unevenly before gluing them on, would be faster than cutting with scisors.
18:02 you can also try using hair spray :D
I guess that could work yeah but dunno how hair spray will hold up time...
Love all your techniques and especially like myself you always find a way to create your vision! What type of foam did you use for the outsides?
Thanks! It just pretty standard foamboard you can find in most craft stores, this type doesnt have any paper backing to remove so I find it pretty convenient.
@@LandvaettrsLair thanks 😊 the UK is pretty crap for decent craft supplies but I shall try to find some. This looks like stuff we have here used for packaging but our stuff is very shiny and probably would not hold paint.
Good luck finding the suitable foam. Also usually a maintone basecoat mixed with pva or modgepodge does the trick on most surfaces. If its porous its better, but you can also maybe sand the surface of the foam for more adherence...
Awesome tutorial! You needs to release some new vids!
Aint got much time lately but i got something in my drawers, but it will be showcases not tutorials.
I love the video! I've been gathering supplies for my own build since I'm completely new to this, but I've been struggling to find the right foam. I read you use foamboard without the plastic-paper-y coating. Would regular polystyrene foamboard work or should I look for things like 'low density/high desity EVA board? Sorry for the dumb question but I haven't been able to find out.
Really it depends how easily the foamboard coating peels off...if it's easy too peel go for it. XPS foam would also defently work provided the strap is thin enough.
Eva foam could work but it's usually more dense and would probably require some kind of heat treatment to get a durable and convincing texture (not impossible to acheive with a heated up tool & aluminum foil, but defenetly more complicated than just rolling a ball of foam)...
Cual es nombre de la cuerda? Probé usando cáñamo y tuve algunos problemas ya que son 2 hilo. Pero excelente video aprendí muchos tip
I love this build--I'll have to make my own buildings like this! Where can I find the goblin miniatures in the showcase at the end of the video?
These are Dark Heaven Legend miniatures, casted in pewter for an original sculpt by Tre Manor. You can buy them by two on reaper website: www.reapermini.com/miniatures/goblins/latest/03776
@@LandvaettrsLair Thank you!
Just wondering what you used to make the larger roundhouse?
This is super cool - and must take sooooooo... long. Are you going to start posting to TH-cam again?
