The bubbles totally make this build. I thought the lights were going to make it look kinda cartoon-ish (?), but it actually kinda gives the illusion of bubbling and stuff in the end. Super cool effect.
You are much more creative then most artists on here that do the same stuff. you must be an engineer by trade. I really enjoy getting ideas from you, and you epic builds are so great. Keep it up. Cheers.
Thanks Jarrett, we all have our strengths and weaknesses... and yes, I'm an engineer :) I'm glad to hear my videos are providing a bit of inspiration for your crafts! .... another EPIC build on the way !!!
The thumbnail is a mix of some artwork from a 80s horror movie vhs (I mean that as a compliment 😂) and a mortal kombat fatality. Looks amazing. Brilliant build as usual John, props to your daughter for the great idea!
I love this so much. I'm about to start running a long-term Call of Cthulhu game, and I'll need something a lot like this for some sewer scenes with evil space fungi. Thanks!
Another nice terrain idea: acid swamp in a toxic wasteland. Well I would like to do that, but since I do not have a room for that, my wife told me to stay with my minis... As an idea for a trap: Teleporting trap! You can make the like "glow on contact" ( maybe having a wire that needs only minor weight, like a mini, to make contact and glow up a "hidden" circle) Once painted it should look "normal" so your players done see the trap until one or two of them are at a further end of the dungeon.
Just a quick tip that I use that may have sped up the detailing process. Obviously you have a soldering iron, so simply wrap a bit of wire around the tip and leave a short lead. That will heat up enough to go around the base instead of having to reheat the pin over an over. Would probably work on the hot wire knife, but I don't know for sure. Great video! I am going to have to do this one after my blade trap!
LEDs and resistors … why you probably don't need one in real life, but do on paper. An LED is a diode, which works like a one-way valve in a pipe that needs a certain amount of pressure to open. That threshold is the "forward voltage". On LEDs it can be as low as 1.2v or as high as over 4v, depending. Point is that anything less than that and the LED doesn't light up properly. Once you hit that threshold though, the valve starts to open. At fully open, the LED reduces the pressure by its forward voltage and the rest … is heat and overdriven LED with a shorter lifespan. So a 25 year LED possibly had its lifespan shortened to 5-10 years. I doubt you're overly concerned. 😁
Let the guessing begin! 1) A large ship is the next project, where each layer can be removed for playing, 3 in total including the hull+the "captains hut" on top. A problem is the ship will be larger than the castle and the colesseum. Solution: build the castle even larger with additional battlements and castle areas. 2) I first thought maybe it's a board with levels, where ALL BUILDS FIT IN, from castle to dungeon to graveyard, ect, but that's just too large.....hmmm......nah, it's a large ship next, with harbour.
YEEEESSSSSSS! Another epic build! There is no stopping you! Loved the shot at the 12 minute mark as you gaze meaningfully into the flame as you melt the hot glue stick....it was a moment of tranquility and meaningfulness, as if it had a higher purpose than just making bubbles. Did you mount all the other 3x3 bases on the same sized mdf base or just the trap? If you do 4 epic builds this year....will that mean next year there will be more than 4? Thanks so mush for sharing these great vids with us, hard to believe it’s almost been a year!
Andy Gorman Andy tell me about it. The year flew by and I’ve learned so much and getting to know this whole community has been amazing! I just mounted the one mdf base to the trap to hold the batteries in place. As for the EPIC builds you and I both will have to wait and see what year two holds in store for Tabletop WitchCRAFT!
Amazing great ideas, I have a battalion of Catachan soldiers, as I'm making a Temple in a Death World Jungle and this build I can use putting a few sulphur ponds and open bubbling fire and lava pits. Question how do you get the led lights going on and off? Your a Mastercraftsman, congrats, Cheers from DownUnder Bob.
Thank you Tom. I always put two magnets together, and then take a permanent marker and mark the outside of each. When I add the hot glue I always put the marked side of the magnets in the glue. This way you'll never mix them up.
to make bubbles easier drop little drops of hot glue onto glass peel em off drop em in hot water you can also make mushrooms this way. if you press the glue gun just right you can get clusters of bubbles ( or toadstools) you don't need to drop em in to hot water if your making toadstools
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT No problem I discovered it by accident my Hot glue gun dripped onto my glass hob in the kitchen ( where I do most of my modelling) I notice these little drips looked like bubbles put a tooth pick in em they are great mushrooms. so I started deliberately dripping hot glue onto my scultpting glass and I got some really cool effects. I think it was you who I saw put hot glue in warm wter to make them clear so your partially responsible for it.
First time watching your videos, super well done and easy to follow. Do you have any simple suggestion for adding a small switch of some sort for the LEDs ? Not required here but want to transfer your idea to a diorama
I'm glad you found the channel. I don't have any suggestions for wiring up a diorama, but after working with and studying some videos with LED's it wouldn't be too hard to do...I guess depending on what your vision is.
Alright. I was planning to make some acid tiles for my current campaign but I wasn't sure if it would mess with the LEDs or if I should just put the was around the edges to add depth. I'll definitely make a few to test out though. Thanks for the great video and keep up the good work.
Awesome build, and the hot glue bubbles are a really intresting thing. If you are still taking suggestions for the traps of this series, may I suggest an Arcane trap? (Like a runic kind of trap?) I did some for one of my friends game, and I really want to see your take on it ^D^
I plan on getting into the Halloween spirit ;) I have a list of fantasy builds I'm trying to tackle, but yes, I definitely want to get into some other genres, and modern builds as well.

Okay... This is the coolest trap tile i've ever seen! I am loving your trap series
The Crafting Brothers Awesome, I love hearing that! More to come!
Dude, that is phenomenal. Out of this world. Well done.
Thanks a lot. I love the feedback !
Your technic for the bubbles is very original. You must be proud to have so much subscribers !
Patrick Massé I’m so appreciative of everyone that subscribes and supports the channel. I have to give the bubble credit to my daughter :)

Turned out so good. You should get some cabachons ,they are very handy in so many uses,eyes, bubbles etc!
Thank you Kenneth, and thanks for the tip.
An awesome looking trap. Thanks for the video.
You got it, thanks for watching!

Thank you ! I'll pass the word along to my daughter :)
I just come for the amazing skill. Love your work bud.
Tyler Smail Thanks so much Tyler, 👍
Great build! Looks really awesome, I love the glue bubbles idea!
Ken Spriggs Thank you Ken, I’ll pass that along to my daughter :)
Going to "borrow" a few of these ideas for future projects on my channel to.
Another Tutorial homerun! Even the small crafts are full of creativity and quality. Thank you for another perfect video!
Thanks so much :) I really enjoyed making this one!
Sounds awesome! Looking forward to more😄
Impressive and inspiring, I need to try resin and LED work. Well done.
Thank you. Go for it!
Can't wait for the 4th epic build! Thanks for all the work you put in, your channel is gonna blow up.
You and me both. Thanks a lot for that. I'm working towards it.
Man you make that look so easy wow very cool!

Done super clean and nice again. I could see me use this in some other way too (thinking about lava).
Thank you, and yes, I've sampled this with lava as well :)
It would actually be awesome for lava
Dude!
That is AWESOME!
Thanks 🤘
Look forward to this epic build! You do fantastic work, I'm sure it will be outstanding!
Ray Sepulveda Thank you Ray, I really appreciate that.
Wasn’t too sure how you planned to use resin and the leds. Another great video on traps. Can’t wait to add this to my underground catacombs.
Oh man, these in the catacombs... killer!
That turned out amazing
Thank you Rob... now you need to make one :)
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I just might, I do make terrIn, not at your level, but I make pieces for Mordheim.
Cuatro epico? You are a mad lad indeed. Great build as always. Can't wait to see where you take us next .
Thanks haha.
Amazing build. Gave me an idea.
Excellent!! Thanks.
Always excellent! I did hope for a little of the resin on the shield and lower spine of the skel, but it works as is.
Thanks Mykl. I thought about adding some to those areas, but I imagined it as the acid burned through everything it touched leaving nothing behind.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Less is usually more. An idea I should use more often!
Mykl Carlton Still a great idea Mykl
Those look great!
Thank you Mason.
Awesome! Keep it up.
Thank you.
Will do, thank you !
Ideas for traps;
Swinging log/axes trap
Bottomless pit trap
Pressure plate fire blowtorch trap
Spike floor trap
Check out my trap playlist...I have something that would work for one of these.... and lets just say you won't have to wait long for more :)
As always : wonderful !

Question how do you get the led lights going on and off?
Your a Mastercraftsman, congrats, Cheers from DownUnder Bob.
That campaign sounds awesome! The LEDs that are in the video description are flickering! Nothing special to do just power them up. Thank you Bob 🙏
With some very minimal wiring or even using the long legs of the LED you can do this with one battery.
Stefanie Elle You can it just becomes a little bit of a pain to take the lights in and out.
i was interested in knowing where you got your miniature bases for the battery install, i'm having trouble finding the hollow bottoms
They are listed in the video description in my Amazon links along with everything else used in the video :)
Looks awesome. How do you make sure you dont glue the magnets the wrong way up?
Thank you Tom. I always put two magnets together, and then take a permanent marker and mark the outside of each. When I add the hot glue I always put the marked side of the magnets in the glue. This way you'll never mix them up.

Do you think it might be worth adding a touch of green on the skeleton to simulate reflected light? Maybe it's not worth doing. I dunno.
You could do some OSL for sure... not a bad idea.

Try Out some micro switches, very cheap at AliExpress (China)
Crafting is dangerously fun! But careful making acid traps!!!
:) Good advice.
Would a bright green wash make the acid colors stand out a bit more or would that be a bit too much?
That's not a bad idea, and I did try it. I wasn't crazy how it looked when the LED's were on. So to me it can look better off or on?
Alright. I was planning to make some acid tiles for my current campaign but I wasn't sure if it would mess with the LEDs or if I should just put the was around the edges to add depth. I'll definitely make a few to test out though. Thanks for the great video and keep up the good work.

Very cool tile. Have you tried using your glue gun nozzle to create the hole for your magnet? It works pretty well for me. Keep up the good work.
I've used it to melt the foam as I show in the video but never to make the hole. I'll give it a go. Thank you !
I haven't enjoyed a trap series this much since "Fate: Apocrypha". You know what I'm talking about.
Ja-a-a-ames Ba-a-a-axter I had to look that up. Now I need to watch it!
With Halloween coming up, will there be any themed builds? Also, do you do much modern style builds or just exclusively fantasy?
I plan on getting into the Halloween spirit ;) I have a list of fantasy builds I'm trying to tackle, but yes, I definitely want to get into some other genres, and modern builds as well.
For the collab my money is on...
*Goobertown*
Ohh... that would be fun :) He's actually sorta local to me...
How do you keep your fence from moving without holding it?
The wood guide for the fence is snug in the rail. It holds it in place.
The build is with Jeremy of Black Magic Craft
You’ve lost me sorry. What are you saying?
Use a forester bit a lot easier
edgotbait Seems like that would tear the foam... no?
Oh no! You burned 3 of your fingers off making this acid trap!!! Even without them you will probably still craft better than me :P
:) Too kind Eric.
Does your daughter play dnd too??
Yes she does... and when the stars are aligned just right I can get my younger son and wife to play as well!
Sorry about your hand bro. It will take a wile for that to heal
It's all good, I got some Neosporin on it. Thanks.
Tabletop WitchCRAFT lol
construct a city
I’d love to!
Resin these days is so expensive sadly.
That's an easy work around for this build. It takes about $1.50 in 5 minute epoxy to get a very similar effect! Give it a try.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thanks! Its what I've been trying to substitute in.
Those poor clippers
I know :(
