Um... WOW. Your ship build sent me on a spree of making at least 6 ships of various sizes and styles (not counting the row boat sizes). This vid may consume many hours and add a lot to my table. I'm running a world that has been flooded and I could see ruins sticking up from the waves. Well done brother
That's a cool idea. All you'd need to do is give the pieces a watery base instead of a rubble & sand base. I'd check out The Crafting Muse's channel as well. She did a vid a while ago on painting a stone dock which has some great ideas on adding moss and shading with paint to give stonework that grungy, "rising from the waters" look.
That sounds like a really fun game! If I was running a few encounters at sea, I wouldn't hesitate to drop these on a water board even thought the base doesn't make sense. If I was doing a LOT of sea based encounters I'd craft another set that had swirling water bases. That would look really cool, but obviously would have limited use so you'd need a lot of sessions at sea to make it worth the effort.
I want to keep it more modular than adding waves so that will have to stay "theater of the mind" this whole campaign sprung out of your long ship and DM Scotty's Dwarven ship
I need to get started on working on stuff like this cause I recently got into D&D 5e and I got a tabaxi/catfolk character who is on this *campaign* floating island called RA that my friend is dm'ing for me and Id like to eventually attempt dm'ing a Hellish citadel campaign.
The only think I think you're missing is stairs that lead from the edge of the tiles to the table. I think this is the coolest thing I've seen on the channel yet. Keep up the good work!
With no exaggeration: this looks like a straight up resin kit! After your door kickstarter finishes, I have a hunch you could get some seriously interested buyers for a set of these. Awesome work!
I may have misspoken as he may be releasing them direct. I was under the impression though there would be a kickstarter to accrue funds for the mass production molds
I had announced that I was planning on doing a kickstarter to release some of my own original resin Dungeon Doors. This may or may not happen, still undecided. I may instead produce a small batch and just sell directly, first come, first serve. After much thought I realized that doing a kickstarter may actually put me in a situation where I have WAY more orders than I want to produce myself, which would take away a lot of time from my main focus which is this channel.
Very inspirational! I made some walls out of pink foam scraps I had lying around. If the strips don't yield perfect stones--this is ruin-building and so much the better!
Thank you SOOOOOO much for these tutorial videos! My wife and I are just learning D&D now finally in our later years and we love it! The terrain is a must for us as we enjoy the visual part of the game as well. Your tutorials are easy to follow, packed with information, and very enjoyable. I've definitely found a new hobby thanks to you!
That is amazing. At first glance, I expected expensive resin copies of single wall pieces you made. But you hand cut and glue and painted EACH ONE. I am definitely saving this video for later. I'm not currently into building miniatures, but when I do, I will want to see this video again, for sure.
I am so glad I found your collection of videos. It has been very helpful in answering a lot of the questions about building miniatures. Your brick method has been eye opening with very useful tips. I am carefully selecting my supplies and tools as you suggested. Thanks again for all your help.
I made my modular ruins following this guide. I used bricks made from white food trays I had waiting for recycling, I think it's PET. Made a ton of 2cm x 1cm bricks with the same procedure BMC shows here. I ended with walls of 9 or 10 rows high, which I think look better than large bricks. More bricks=more work tho. I made the characterization with a tin foil ball, a pen for drawing cracks and tore some tiles after the assembling and painted with pva+black paint followed by grey+brown dry brush and light gray dry brush (really dry). I'm super happy with the result Thanks for this, BMC!
I started out just looking for some ideas for something to build for my daughter & son-in-law to help them and their friends enjoy D & D a little bit more! But I love your videos so much that I've been binge-watching them! I now have a whole slew of things I'm planning to build for them! I would love to support you on Patreon but I am retired and my SS only pays the rent. Keep the awesome videos coming, Jeremy!
I love the technique you used to both cut and texture the bricks. The marking and then snapping off of each individual brick is so STUPID BRILLIANT to get the free texturing on the ends. Will be using this going forward. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Yea, it was my first time doing it, and I like it a lot better. Looks more natural, with no real extra effort. It's also oddly satisfying to snap them :)
Really great concept, Jeremy. I especially love this little mini towers/pillars in the center to help add some variety and break up the negative space. Now time to get crafting :D
Thank you for the information, instructions, and inspiration. I’ve been enjoying building and using my tiles and have started building my ruins. Already started on my 2nd set of bricks because, as is probably typical, I WAY underestimated how much I’d need.
Thanx man, started creating my own modular ruins :-) had some pir foam, these dont melt so i had to cut it with a knife. but still the hot glue did its job :-) used the shaking in a container with sharp stones way to make them rough this motivated me to also make my own flock from sawdust. now i have some nice ruins with plants, static grass and flock
Awesome! Also make a bunch of individual stones and bricks to scatter haphazardly over the whole thing after it is laid out. Add a little extra element of ruin to it all.
I have just gotten into this hobby, and your videos are a great inspiration. I think another embellishment I would add to the interior of the walls is dungeon decorations. I'm certain adding something like torch sconces, skeletons, booby traps, and/or chains would be a really nice addition.
Good god man, this is genius. My girlfriend is starting a Pathfinder game for her kids and I have been trying to figure out what I could do for dungeon scenery for her. You are a hero. Liked and subbed.
Whelp, now I got my project for the weekend. This will be great for making randomized ruins for my Necromunda games! The 80’s dystopian look of the classic game would look great for it, with faded neons and earth tones in the blasted rubble. Truly inspiring stuff man, never stop doing what you do.
This is really cool I wish more was like this. I play war games and putting buildings down on the table was always really annoying because they were never what we needed or have anything to do with what the scenario is. This might even get me into making some as I haven't wanted to do mine but these are also more easy to store when not used. The best of both worlds!
These kinds of modular builds are THE BEST. I've always had such a problem with making terrain pieces that get used one time and then shelved because they'll never be needed again. I really prefer to have pieces that I can use in a variety of ways multiple times. Thank you so much!
Totally! I think that's really the best way to approach this. I wish there was an easier way to set up tiles/dungeons in the same way as how they're presented in official D&D adventures. It seems like, functionally, one of the only ways to go about doing it is by using a dry erase board/battlemat. That's not really a problem per se, it's just a little disappointing when you can't easily integrate tiles that you've worked on into the winding/narrow official maps.
Yea, that's the main reason I don't use published maps. I tend to design dungeons around the way my tiles work, instead of the other way around. If I really want to use a published map I have to take a lot of liberties with the layout (which is fine) or do the battle mat thing if I want it to be accurate.
Great job ! I like its modularity. In particular, considering the thickness of the walls, you can create 3, 2 or 1 inch wide corridors. This combined with the small pillars that can also be used as obstacles would give fantastic configurations for under pressure exploration !! Cheers
YES! Even if you are doing no wall, negative space dungeon tile layouts like I do, you could use some of these sections on top of the tiles to squeeze the corridor where there has been some cave ins and stuff. I didn't even think of that. But that's whats great about designing things with modularity in mind, there are more uses than you can even plan for.
Perfect timing, I was just thinking through ways to make some "ruins" for skirmish games. I do 3d printing for my terrain, but the planning is the same. You helped me out a ton, I took liberal notes for my project. I also plan on adding some broken window frames and doorways to some of the long walls as well.
Great tip about the mess it makes. I used to do a lot of the texturing and stuff while in bed watching TV and it drove my wife crazy =) Between the sound the wire brush makes and the dust i create....I am no longer aloud to do that in bed
I'm not a tabletop gamer, but I love watching your videos. It's interesting how a lot of your modular techniques and concepts overlap with video game asset design. It might be a fun experiment (although labor intensive) to make foam modular parts like this, then photoscan them to make digital assets...hmmm..
Just found your channel last night. Already subscribed. You make some awesome stuff. I've only just gotten into D&D (always wanted to!) but I've always been an artist. I wanted to recommend that you use small magnets on the sides of pieces. You can cut from the bottom and push them up in it to where it's not showing on the sides but still close enough that it works. You can use magnets on one side and small pieces of metal (washers work great) on the other.
Yes please. I will make loads of this. My only problem is that I dont have any foam cutter :,( This may convince me to buy one tho! Simple and great! Love it.
Made a whack of blocks when I seen the ruined castle video (go watch it if you haven't) built the tower. Finally got around to constructing my ruins.... 12 each of short walls and long walls. 6 each of the corners (12 total) , 1" pillars and scatter. three 2X2 pillars and four toppled monolith type pieces. hope this is enough. Fun build for sure. Few more corners to build and I'll be done. When I finish the ruins I'll make a smaller ruined tower. Cheers!
I'm a brand new sub and huge into DnD and Wargames, so it bogles my mind I haven't heard of you before now. I just wanted to say I've binge watched a good part of your channel and you put out some amazing looking tutorials that are very easy to make yourself. You got me hooked on the good ole foam and mod podge style of terrain building! I would love to see some Dwarf inspired architecture videos, I'm a massive fan of that Dwarven style, cheers!
As always, these look absolutely amazing! I really need to get a Proxxon cutting table; I'd love to do something like this both for tabletop rpgs and wargames.
oh btw a 10x15 inch piece of pink 1/2 foam cut to 5/16th and 9/16th will give you 1536 blocks. You should get 32 rows from 10 inches when cut to 5/16th (1/2 foam is actually 9/16th).
This is very nice! I can see the same thing done with different types of walls for taverns, shops, etc. They could have built in stuff like shelves and other details. I have some tiny leds (1.8mm) that I have been toying with adding to wall sections like this for torches. Well done, Sir!
Yea, this system could be easily adapted to do walls for other buildings. It doesnt really work for interior walls because of the base on one side, so I wouldn't use it for a dungeon. But you could do this for laying out big houses, inns, etc. I'm actually planning on doing that with some tudor style walls, and have some with windows in them. The built in idea is something I didn't think of though, that's a great idea.
Hmm, it might actually work for a dungeon, if you use both sides. Think about them in terms of transitioning from one type of space to another. I am imagining a wall section that has been excavated or has crumbled away to reveal an earthen tunnel, or an iron grate leading into a sewer, for instance. I am certain that the creative minds here could come up with all sorts of ways to use them. Yeah, the built in idea came to me when I was using the tiles the other day and was thinking about one of your videos where you were showing how you set up your table, with the props and stuff all sorted out, and covered until the room is revealed to the players. I thought it would be kind of neat to just grab a wall section with a bookshelf or table attached that wouldn't necessarily impede play, and wouldn't get knocked over, either.
This video is pretty sweet but you're beer collection up there is great. Stone IPA is one of my favorites by far. If you like sour ale check out sour wench from ballast point.
I love this idea, I have been using PVE floor mats to build my bricks and the texture that comes up from using scissors to cut them is great. I am making a full city ruins set for 40k ATM. Epic idea about making it fit tiles.
Wow I really like those. Now I have to make some in the future. They would go good with my magnet dungeon tile 2.5 if I wanted to go that way. Just another awesome build by BMC!!!
been watching your videos the past week-ish and think I'm gonna give this a go, especially since backing a kickstarter for some scenery and housing for tabletops, this will pair very nicely :) enjoy your videos, keep em up :D
Great job, man! I've been using some modular walls for a bit and they're great for making buildings on the fly. Yours definitely look better than mine though, haha! Well done!
I love how OCD organized you are! The shelving and set up is Top Notch! Goes hand in hand with how Top Notch your builds are as well! This is how I'm going to setup my basement. My wife is all in too with it! Are more those black shelves and cupboards from Ikea?
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial thanks I'll google it. Was at DollarTree to get the foam too! Can you also point me to one of your videos that says what pink or blue foam you use... Didnt see it on your Essential Tools list!
As not all bricks fire correctly at least some houses in the 1800’s Illinois were built with three courses thick, with the worse bricks sandwiched between the other two.
Dude...WHAT I just discovered this channel & immediately subscribed. This looks so much fun! I wish i had the materials to make stuff like this. Do you think molding clay would work for projects like this??

What are all those bottles on top of that shelf?
Bowed Siren they look like beer bottles to me.
I cant visit the site
just says "Hello bards"
That site is way broken. Nice video and build though
I wanna see everything you have put together in one big scene
yeah, that would be awesome.
I’m so inspired but I know my stuff won’t look .5% as nice
It would take up 4 tables
Um... WOW. Your ship build sent me on a spree of making at least 6 ships of various sizes and styles (not counting the row boat sizes). This vid may consume many hours and add a lot to my table. I'm running a world that has been flooded and I could see ruins sticking up from the waves. Well done brother
That's a cool idea. All you'd need to do is give the pieces a watery base instead of a rubble & sand base. I'd check out The Crafting Muse's channel as well. She did a vid a while ago on painting a stone dock which has some great ideas on adding moss and shading with paint to give stonework that grungy, "rising from the waters" look.
That sounds like a really fun game! If I was running a few encounters at sea, I wouldn't hesitate to drop these on a water board even thought the base doesn't make sense. If I was doing a LOT of sea based encounters I'd craft another set that had swirling water bases. That would look really cool, but obviously would have limited use so you'd need a lot of sessions at sea to make it worth the effort.
I'll check that out thanks.
I want to keep it more modular than adding waves so that will have to stay "theater of the mind" this whole campaign sprung out of your long ship and DM Scotty's Dwarven ship
I need to get started on working on stuff like this cause I recently got into D&D 5e and I got a tabaxi/catfolk character who is on this *campaign* floating island called RA that my friend is dm'ing for me and Id like to eventually attempt dm'ing a Hellish citadel campaign.
The only think I think you're missing is stairs that lead from the edge of the tiles to the table. I think this is the coolest thing I've seen on the channel yet. Keep up the good work!
That 1/8 inch leeway is the genius touch on the idea. Thanks for your work and for sharing your crafting with us!
Thanks for the health n safety plug in the video. Its one thing I've always appreciated.
holy balls thats great
With no exaggeration: this looks like a straight up resin kit! After your door kickstarter finishes, I have a hunch you could get some seriously interested buyers for a set of these. Awesome work!
I’d love to, and would actually do a much nicer sculpt for that. Problem is that’s a lot of resin $$$. Maybe one day though.
Uh...what kickstarter?
I may have misspoken as he may be releasing them direct. I was under the impression though there would be a kickstarter to accrue funds for the mass production molds
I had announced that I was planning on doing a kickstarter to release some of my own original resin Dungeon Doors. This may or may not happen, still undecided. I may instead produce a small batch and just sell directly, first come, first serve. After much thought I realized that doing a kickstarter may actually put me in a situation where I have WAY more orders than I want to produce myself, which would take away a lot of time from my main focus which is this channel.
Yep, this was exactly the style I was looking for. Thank you!
Just found your first Five builds vid and I’m smitten. I love the 3”x3”’s and the ruins. Just in time for a long weekend of hobby.
Very inspirational! I made some walls out of pink foam scraps I had lying around. If the strips don't yield perfect stones--this is ruin-building and so much the better!
Thank you SOOOOOO much for these tutorial videos! My wife and I are just learning D&D now finally in our later years and we love it! The terrain is a must for us as we enjoy the visual part of the game as well. Your tutorials are easy to follow, packed with information, and very enjoyable. I've definitely found a new hobby thanks to you!
Top 5 BMC video! An instant classic! Great work JP!
That’s what I like to hear :)
Agreed such a great idea
This fits with an idea I have been kicking around. It's good to see it fully visualized before I started making anything for it yet. Awesome!
That is amazing. At first glance, I expected expensive resin copies of single wall pieces you made. But you hand cut and glue and painted EACH ONE.
I am definitely saving this video for later. I'm not currently into building miniatures, but when I do, I will want to see this video again, for sure.
Most of his stuff is designed to be relatively easy and cheap for us to be able to copy, imitate, or be inspired by.
I am so glad I found your collection of videos. It has been very helpful in answering a lot of the questions about building miniatures. Your brick method has been eye opening with very useful tips. I am carefully selecting my supplies and tools as you suggested. Thanks again for all your help.
Very nice, that preview at 3:00 looks phenomenal.
Thanks man :)
I made my modular ruins following this guide. I used bricks made from white food trays I had waiting for recycling, I think it's PET.
Made a ton of 2cm x 1cm bricks with the same procedure BMC shows here.
I ended with walls of 9 or 10 rows high, which I think look better than large bricks. More bricks=more work tho.
I made the characterization with a tin foil ball, a pen for drawing cracks and tore some tiles after the assembling and painted with pva+black paint followed by grey+brown dry brush and light gray dry brush (really dry).
I'm super happy with the result
Thanks for this, BMC!
Man just want you to know how much your videos make want to craft. Which is a lot! Very motivating and fine to watch!
That’s the goal :)
I started out just looking for some ideas for something to build for my daughter & son-in-law to help them and their friends enjoy D & D a little bit more! But I love your videos so much that I've been binge-watching them! I now have a whole slew of things I'm planning to build for them! I would love to support you on Patreon but I am retired and my SS only pays the rent. Keep the awesome videos coming, Jeremy!
I love the technique you used to both cut and texture the bricks. The marking and then snapping off of each individual brick is so STUPID BRILLIANT to get the free texturing on the ends. Will be using this going forward. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Yea, it was my first time doing it, and I like it a lot better. Looks more natural, with no real extra effort. It's also oddly satisfying to snap them :)
Yes like popping bubble wrap . . . mesmerizing!
Really great concept, Jeremy. I especially love this little mini towers/pillars in the center to help add some variety and break up the negative space. Now time to get crafting :D
Thanks, those mini pillars will also get a lot of general use in dungeons and whatnot, very handy.
Black Magic Craft That's pretty much how I see all of these ruins being used in my game :) Thanks again, Jeremy!
Beautiful, practical and inspiring. This is your best project yet, and that's saying something!
That's a big compliment. Thanks!
Long time subscriber and completely agree!
Thank you for the information, instructions, and inspiration. I’ve been enjoying building and using my tiles and have started building my ruins. Already started on my 2nd set of bricks because, as is probably typical, I WAY underestimated how much I’d need.

Awesome! Also make a bunch of individual stones and bricks to scatter haphazardly over the whole thing after it is laid out. Add a little extra element of ruin to it all.
The edging on those blocks looks amazing, I need to try this when I get the time they look fantastic!!
Thanks
I have just gotten into this hobby, and your videos are a great inspiration. I think another embellishment I would add to the interior of the walls is dungeon decorations. I'm certain adding something like torch sconces, skeletons, booby traps, and/or chains would be a really nice addition.
Then they wouldn’t be modular. Those additions would look silly when using them for outdoor ruins 😉 think reusability!
These walls are excellent to use around the Gloomhaven board pieces as well to give more of a immersive feeling to the game.
I'm about 9 days into making a set of tiles for myself and now you do this to me!!! Damn you!!! I love your work.
Don't stop, keep that momentum rollin!
Good god man, this is genius. My girlfriend is starting a Pathfinder game for her kids and I have been trying to figure out what I could do for dungeon scenery for her. You are a hero. Liked and subbed.
This is so making me want to create some Dungeons and ruins! All I need now is, well, everything 😐
Great looking walls. Very nice explanation and easy to do tutorial. 👍
Whelp, now I got my project for the weekend. This will be great for making randomized ruins for my Necromunda games! The 80’s dystopian look of the classic game would look great for it, with faded neons and earth tones in the blasted rubble. Truly inspiring stuff man, never stop doing what you do.

I'm trying more and more to treat my builds like LEGO, that all work as part of a system for maximum versatility.
Totally! I think that's really the best way to approach this.
I wish there was an easier way to set up tiles/dungeons in the same way as how they're presented in official D&D adventures.

Perfect timing, I was just thinking through ways to make some "ruins" for skirmish games. I do 3d printing for my terrain, but the planning is the same. You helped me out a ton, I took liberal notes for my project. I also plan on adding some broken window frames and doorways to some of the long walls as well.
Yea, you could easily adapt this concept to 3d prints.
Great Build, will be building this one - thanks. You could also make a non- rubble build for dungeons or castles that are not in despair.
Fantastic. I had a similiar idea about side walls for double use as Dungeon Walls & wargaming scatter terrain.
Great stuff. Very inspiring ideas - I'll definitely use these techniques when I add to my Frostgrave terrain. Thanks for taking the time to share
Great tip about the mess it makes. I used to do a lot of the texturing and stuff while in bed watching TV and it drove my wife crazy =) Between the sound the wire brush makes and the dust i create....I am no longer aloud to do that in bed
this is really a great way to build walls and ruins thanks
Oh, this is a great idea, can be used for lots of tabletop games! Bravo!
Very versatile.
This is so good! Time intensive with each individual brick, but it looks so great when you’re done!
I'm not a tabletop gamer, but I love watching your videos. It's interesting how a lot of your modular techniques and concepts overlap with video game asset design. It might be a fun experiment (although labor intensive) to make foam modular parts like this, then photoscan them to make digital assets...hmmm..
Nice video man. Very easy to follow.

You can use magnets on one side and small pieces of metal (washers work great) on the other.
Hey Jeremy. I love your work and it has inspired me to start doing some crafting of my own!
God: "I have created the heavens and the earth!"
BMC: "Hold my ale..."
Super excited to make these!
You won't regret it.
Another great and inspiring build... anything you can make that allows for multi uses is awesome !! Thanks again!!
Working on mine looks real good man
Awesome modular ruins, have to try them one day, superb and realistic!👍👍
Really, really nice and easy. Congratulations and thanks.
Yes please. I will make loads of this. My only problem is that I dont have any foam cutter :,( This may convince me to buy one tho! Simple and great! Love it.
Made a whack of blocks when I seen the ruined castle video (go watch it if you haven't) built the tower. Finally got around to constructing my ruins.... 12 each of short walls and long walls. 6 each of the corners (12 total) , 1" pillars and scatter. three 2X2 pillars and four toppled monolith type pieces. hope this is enough.

Those look ridiculously amazing! Very inspiring!
As always, these look absolutely amazing! I really need to get a Proxxon cutting table; I'd love to do something like this both for tabletop rpgs and wargames.
Very cool!!! I definitely prefer your modular stuff, and this was an excellent addition!
4 corners, 4 walls, 6 small walls, 4 boxes, 6 small boxes, 6 flats is about 1100-1300 blocks for those wondering.
oh btw a 10x15 inch piece of pink 1/2 foam cut to 5/16th and 9/16th will give you 1536 blocks. You should get 32 rows from 10 inches when cut to 5/16th (1/2 foam is actually 9/16th).
Good thing that I had the day off work today. Already started on my set. I love your work!!
Just about the best way to spend a day off from work.
This is awesome. I look forward to trying my hand and something like this.
These are incredible! Seriously impressive.
Sweet set, these look great. Well done with this design.
Well done sir! I love your artistry.
Thank you :)
this is precisely what i need ill be building my out of dollar stor foam for now but this kills several problems at once for me thanks
I do really LOVE your crafts!
Thanks for that amazingly detailed tutorial!
Best wishes from Austria
This is very nice! I can see the same thing done with different types of walls for taverns, shops, etc. They could have built in stuff like shelves and other details. I have some tiny leds (1.8mm) that I have been toying with adding to wall sections like this for torches. Well done, Sir!
Yea, this system could be easily adapted to do walls for other buildings. It doesnt really work for interior walls because of the base on one side, so I wouldn't use it for a dungeon. But you could do this for laying out big houses, inns, etc. I'm actually planning on doing that with some tudor style walls, and have some with windows in them. The built in idea is something I didn't think of though, that's a great idea.
Hmm, it might actually work for a dungeon, if you use both sides. Think about them in terms of transitioning from one type of space to another. I am imagining a wall section that has been excavated or has crumbled away to reveal an earthen tunnel, or an iron grate leading into a sewer, for instance. I am certain that the creative minds here could come up with all sorts of ways to use them.
Yeah, the built in idea came to me when I was using the tiles the other day and was thinking about one of your videos where you were showing how you set up your table, with the props and stuff all sorted out, and covered until the room is revealed to the players. I thought it would be kind of neat to just grab a wall section with a bookshelf or table attached that wouldn't necessarily impede play, and wouldn't get knocked over, either.
Dude this is some great stuff. Gonna be up late tonight crafting now thanks!
Ingenious - and gorgeous!! Well done, mate.
Great work and with a very good straight forward delivery, Thanks man. Love your work!
This video is pretty sweet but you're beer collection up there is great. Stone IPA is one of my favorites by far. If you like sour ale check out sour wench from ballast point.
Best project so far! I would make a whole dungeon in this style.
These are awesome! Looking forward to making my own set soon.
This set is worth the time and effort to make.
I love this idea, I have been using PVE floor mats to build my bricks and the texture that comes up from using scissors to cut them is great. I am making a full city ruins set for 40k ATM. Epic idea about making it fit tiles.
I've yet to play around with that type of foam. I should test it out.
Wow I really like those. Now I have to make some in the future. They would go good with my magnet dungeon tile 2.5 if I wanted to go that way.
Just another awesome build by BMC!!!
Thanks. Yea, if you've got magnets in your tiles you could totally throw some in these to make them work together.
Now these are ruins! Hands down the best set I’ve seen to date. I thought you even went hurst art for a moment. Very well executed man!
I've been trying to figure out the best way to make modular ruins. Thanks for the video!
been watching your videos the past week-ish and think I'm gonna give this a go, especially since backing a kickstarter for some scenery and housing for tabletops, this will pair very nicely :)
enjoy your videos, keep em up :D
Great job, man! I've been using some modular walls for a bit and they're great for making buildings on the fly. Yours definitely look better than mine though, haha! Well done!
Thanks :)
Wow, what a great video! You have to be the most patient person I've ever seen!
Nice job on the stair tiles, the stairs look like they go into the table.
There is a video on those if you missed it: th-cam.com/video/1OpDkgFtQGY/w-d-xo.html
I love how OCD organized you are! The shelving and set up is Top Notch! Goes hand in hand with how Top Notch your builds are as well! This is how I'm going to setup my basement. My wife is all in too with it! Are more those black shelves and cupboards from Ikea?
Watch my hobby desk tour video 😉
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial thanks I'll google it. Was at DollarTree to get the foam too! Can you also point me to one of your videos that says what pink or blue foam you use... Didnt see it on your Essential Tools list!
Ok....so watch my whole basics videos playlist 😂
One thing a lot of people don't know is that in real life old brick buildings are actually doulble walled like that. It adds insulation. Nice work
As not all bricks fire correctly at least some houses in the 1800’s Illinois were built with three courses thick, with the worse bricks sandwiched between the other two.
That is an amazing idea, dude!
I like that you can use them as walls for dungeon tiles too.
How do you not have a million subs or more?! This was fantastic! Thank you for your thorough explanation
Please tell 1 million people about my channel! Or failing that, a couple buddies.
I see a bottle of hobgoblin from wychwood brewery on the shelf behind you. That's worth a like all by itself.
Super cool idea. Also, your shirt is kickin'!
You are crushing it! I love this system. I'm inspired to try to do the same with papercraft.
Nice, the principal of the design is what's important. The materials and execution are irrelevant. It would work perfectly with papercraft.
He always has the best t-shirts.
Dude...WHAT I just discovered this channel & immediately subscribed. This looks so much fun! I wish i had the materials to make stuff like this. Do you think molding clay would work for projects like this??
Great work! Im gonna have to do this too.
Sweet build! If I make anymore ruins it’ll be in this format. Unless of course it’s an epic set piece 😉
You are gonna have so many ruins XD
