i may not make Harry's Wizarding Tower of Magical Surprises, but im definitely stealing this technique to make a load of stone ruins and bastions and the like.
What 3 people didn't like this. I bloody love your stuff. And thiseb3 people can bugger off. This is hobbying in its truest form, full creativity. Using original methods created by yourself. I get excited for all of your videos. Thank you
"You'z a weirdboy Harry" "I iz a what?" "A weirdboy, and a pretty cunnin' one!" this build is really cool, the bricks really blend into it, not looking like sprues anymore, so cool ^^
Great, now I can't get the image of an ork throwing a gretchin (with in invitation to WAAAGH-warts attached to it's leg) through Harry's window out of my head.
Fantastic video with truly ingenious DIY craft which highlights sustainability and recycling. John highlights thst you don't need expensive equipment and to buy tones of specialist materials to turn household rubbish into a work of art!
You should consider using multiple shades and textures when applying flock. There are a plethora of options for moss/grass/shrub/tree creation. Great work, friend!
man.. the internet can be such a cesspool. But not you. You've got the most positive wholesome energy bro... keep it up. Also, I'm building a ruined city and Im totally going to use this video for my table.
Having the planes reminds me of slab construction in pottery, essentially you can use that to start building any basic geometry along your sprue frames you made in previous videos. You could use the syringe to draw things onto the sheet pan you couldn't otherwise make by just dripping it off a clothes hanger. That way you could create rings and therefore chains. Just spitballing, anyway cool videos keep up the great work!
Awesome vid. The creativity is next level and the scenery building is something I used to love in the hobby. Awesome result that would improve any battlefield.
If I might make a suggestion, if you want to expand into doing this fulltime it might be good to look at people like Midwinter Minis who have achieved that through patreon and stuff. You could also go further down the art patreon route with rewards like uncut painting processes and things where you explain or help people through painting and modelling since apart from lore videos a lot of people are looking for those really big models or armies as well as beginning tips and tricks to help them start painting well. Simple vids on colour washing and techniques like that could do well but I’m not sure
I love how you make the slate tiles :-) I use pine cone pieces for most of my roofs, as I make mostly Halfling/Elf type scenery, but also use cut up cardboard plant pots for slates, as they are smooth on the outside, and rough on the inside, so are reversible. I simply MUST try making the Goo From Sprues you use, just to see what I can do with it for myself :-) LOVE all your sprue tutorials, as I have a LOT of them lying around, as I collect them from my gaming mates and figure painting service customers, so now have lots of inspiring ideas to try out thanks to you :-D
"Repeat this process for the next... ten days." That, sir, is dedication. Honestly, I'm sure you're an apprentice stonemason at this point. Looks awesome! Using the wire brush method (which I know works on foam) on the sprues is amazing.
Love this build! Really want to get into making more of my own pieces. One thing you can do for the base is add actual stones and sand (before priming) and/or use textured paints (tiny bits of grit in it), then dry brush and then grass - gives it a real natural look. And also add a bit of felt on the bottom of the CD (which is a brilliant idea for a base).
Those bricks look really good! I am impressed with the overall design of this castle. Looks like something you could buy. I don’t play Warhammer, but I am going to try the modeling technique.

Thank you for inspiring me and my zombies thank you for the chariots
Seriously, impressed with this one. You are the SPRUE KING 🤴
Thank you so much, this is by far my favourite build =)
Some would call him.. Spruce Lee 🥋
It's far more than "pretty decent" like you said : it's incredible !!!
Thank you, this is my best build so far =)
I love the way you did the crumbling end of the platform, it really looks like it was once a bridge that has gone to ruin.
i may not make Harry's Wizarding Tower of Magical Surprises, but im definitely stealing this technique to make a load of stone ruins and bastions and the like.
These are some great aged bricks that will look good in what ever you make =)
Awesome you can make something so good out of what most people throw away. Keep at it as the builds just keep getting better.
Thank you so much, thats what makes these builds even more enjoyable =)
What 3 people didn't like this. I bloody love your stuff. And thiseb3 people can bugger off. This is hobbying in its truest form, full creativity. Using original methods created by yourself. I get excited for all of your videos. Thank you
Thank you and who knows lol =)
And Aww it definitely does inspire!
Thank you I am very pleased with this build =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist As ya should be I was in awww of it meself. May try something similar!!! =)
"You'z a weirdboy Harry" "I iz a what?" "A weirdboy, and a pretty cunnin' one!"
this build is really cool, the bricks really blend into it, not looking like sprues anymore, so cool ^^
Thank you I am in love with these bricks and will be doing more builds with them =)
Great, now I can't get the image of an ork throwing a gretchin (with in invitation to WAAAGH-warts attached to it's leg) through Harry's window out of my head.
You can make great rafts and boats with that stuff.
Oh and th tower looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much, now on to the ork tavern =)
This is incredible, the bricks and tiles are so good!
Thank you, I am pleased with how they came out =)
Fantastic video with truly ingenious DIY craft which highlights sustainability and recycling. John highlights thst you don't need expensive equipment and to buy tones of specialist materials to turn household rubbish into a work of art!
Nice touch at the end of the platform with the falling bricks!
Amazing. Coffee grinder is genius level.
I love everything about this build! That ork wizard is awesome!!
Thank you, orks and wizards are 2 of my favourite things lol =)
You should consider using multiple shades and textures when applying flock. There are a plethora of options for moss/grass/shrub/tree creation.
Great work, friend!
I agree and think this is one of your best builds. The texture on the tower is fantastic and the crumbling bricks work really well.
Thank you, defiently worth the time laying each brick lol, will probably do this for the ork tavern now as I love the bricks so much =)
Nibbly nobbly bits! Very helpful video! I had no idea where to start. 😅
Thank you, in my mind I can break down a build into small manageable parts, it makes the build so much easier =)
i love that ork wizard and his tower
the music is always boppin'
man.. the internet can be such a cesspool. But not you. You've got the most positive wholesome energy bro... keep it up.
Also, I'm building a ruined city and Im totally going to use this video for my table.
Awesome, making me want to collect Warhammer bretonians and orks again just so I can make scenery like that
The bricks... wth why did I throw all my sprues away lol, this is freaking brilliant!
love those bricks, great build!
Cheers Bill, definently worth the time laying each one individually lol 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist wouldn't have it any other way. It always shows when you lay them individually
Great video! And awesome tower, nicely done :)
Thank you =)
The coffee grinder trick makes all the sprues look so good, and with allot less time and effort.
It really does age them well and they all look a little different =)
*skips to the end*
Wait what how.
*goes back to the start*
I love that you made an ork wizard
Really loved the weathered bricks. Great work, man.
Rocking the CHRISTY FONT!!!
Impressive project and I am impressed
This is brilliant. What great vision and talent. Thanks.
This is reusing sprues to the extreme!
Wow m8, this opened up a whole world for me. I'm gonna do this.
Excellent work, and a very clear demonstration. Well done!
What an amazing job! I'm impressed!
I'd like to see a Ship, Galley, Frigate, something like that. Perhaps a bunker :)
I want to do a pirate ship held up by a balloon =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist Grot Skypirate ship incoming?
@@scheinerchen6471 yup its that incoming that I have already started on it =)
100% work of art
I love watching your videos, they inspire me to try and do more with the hobby :) Thank you.
Thank you, it is such a wonderful hobby, very relaxing and rewarding =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist I agree. Thank you for all your hard work bringing these wonderful builds to us :)

Thank you, well lockdown 3.0 does give me lots of free time lol =)

Awesome vid. The creativity is next level and the scenery building is something I used to love in the hobby. Awesome result that would improve any battlefield.
Thank you, I will be making more medieval style buildings =)
Looks really great, if it's a bit wobbly a weight underneath will keep Harry happy.
VERY GOOD CREATIVE WORK!!!! Greetings from Germany!
That is super creative. Great video.
Absolutely insane how good this looks
He's So cute I love the little wizard orc harry. Also amazing use of recycling
Thank you, I forgot to give him a long white beard, maybe next time =)
My tiny mind is blown. Great idea 👍
Thank you =)

Nice build Jon, really impressive brickwork there, a right proper labour of love!
Cheers bud, yup definently a labour of love but well worth it =)

I love watching the creative process take affect. Cant wait to see your Deamon Prince come to fruition.
Thank you, he is coming along well, I will be doing a livestream later today and doing some more on him =)
Wow..gorgeous brick work. I think you may be completely nuts, but really awesome look!
That looks brilliant!
That’s an amazing stuff, your ingenuity knows no bounds, I loved it.

Welcome to the world Harry!

Increíble!!! Un gran canal!! Saludos y ánimos desde España!
Outstanding

Have to say that orc-wizzard its hella cool. Nice paint job :D.

Yeah that's defiantly one of your best builds so far, these bricks look fantastic m8 :)
Thats such a good build! Amazing work
Thank you =)
"Repeat this process for the next... ten days."
That, sir, is dedication. Honestly, I'm sure you're an apprentice stonemason at this point.
Looks awesome!
Using the wire brush method (which I know works on foam) on the sprues is amazing.
Thank you, if something is worth doing, its worth doing right =)

The lonely ork really isn't gonna be lonely when he opens his bar hehe. Well done on the build sir
Thank you although the lonely ork isnt allowed in his own bar lol =)
He looks like is screaming for the grotz to go of his lawn. XD
Your pure dedication frightens me, but looks amazing and seems like it costed less than any gw mini so great vid!
Awesome job, really creative!!
Thank you so much =)
Cool build! Bit fast, though. I was still on Nurgle King speed...
Thank you, haha I dont like watching long videos so make mine how I would want to watch them, concise and to the point =)
That’s what I would do
That's incredible!!
Thank you =)
This is crazy good! Wish I could leave more thumbs up.
haha thank you =)
Hagrid : Your a wizzard Harry!
Harry : WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH !!!!!!!!
You have improved your mini painting so much
Thank you, he came out quite good =)
That tower looks gorgeous! I love it so much! I think I will make my own one day and will use this video as a guide. Thank you!
Thank you and have fun building =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist Will do!
Excellent build!
I love it!
thank you so much =)
Amazing work, such creative use of sprues! I'd love to see some sort of Ork boat or maybe a zeppelin!
Im going to make a zeplin pirate ship one day =)
Your a massive inspiration
Clever bugger!
Thank you =)
i can already say i like harry ;)
Me too, he is so much nicer than the lonely ork =)
These are getting so good
Thank you =)
You defo should do a video on how you paint it's so good
Is it me or your builds keeps getting better ? Very nice !
Your videos have been amazing for ideas. I've just gotten in to gaslands and with money tight atm these vids are perfect.
OMG. The best.
This was so amazing to watch, by far my favorite build of yours so far! Excited for more!
Thank you, I will be doing some more medieval buildings =)
Brilliant!!
Those bricks look really good! I am impressed with the overall design of this castle. Looks like something you could buy. I don’t play Warhammer, but I am going to try the modeling technique.
