Wargame Tabletop RPG Terrain Scratch Build for Miniatures Gaming "The Hidden Valley 2: Lost Mine"
I seriously love your work, especially these small terrain builds. Each one is so cool and on its own can tell a whole scenario. Thats why I love this channel so much.
Nice work. I really like little pieces like this. Best regards Chicken
Thank you! I loved your collaboration with Boylei. Happy crafting!
Another excellent piece.I like the idea of using flocked embroidery floss for the vines. I have seen plain embroidery floss coiled up to represent ropes too.
I love the fine texture of embroidery floss! I want to try this again and pull a few smaller strands out to create more depth.
👍🔥🤘❤️
Thank you for watching!
I like the idea of having the wall go just past the edge of the "base," allowing for a mid of modularity with other pieces on a table.
I felt like I was breaking the rules! I saw a piece of terrain on pinterest that looked like the whole base was rubble. Very inspiring!
Awesome-looking piece, though it does make me want to hit those veneer stones with a little overbrush of some white/eggshell color to make it look like they were plastered/limewashed at one point.
Oooo! That's a great idea! I will have to do another build with that detail.
I think I like your original method for vines. Having said that, maybe combine both to add some bulk where needed? Still, I think the arch looks awesome! You are building fantasy terrain, not a scale miniature so who cares if the masonry is not realistic. 😉
I guess an impressionistic approach isn't so bad for game terrain but I love throwing the little details in there as I can. Thanks for the encouragement!
Always super impressed with your builds.
Thank you so much for catching another video!
Loving this channel, my dude. Calm, focused, and informative. Not only are your models first class but your delivery of the tutorials is top shelf as well. Keep up the good work.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! This is a great hobby and I love sharing!
Dont be so harsh to Yourself. Its a game terrain not real life diorama
I aspire to greater craft but I do appreciate the encouragement. Diorama artists are so amazing!
First class terrain as usual, very impressive!
Thank you for watching another build!
Great build, love the finer detail inside the archway
Thank you! I want to take another crack at arch building. I feel I could improve quite a bit there.
Love your video's. The video about the ruind building has started me in miniature building. I'll use your video's as inspiration, for my D&D session with my students. In about a few weeks. :D This is there first time playing D&D. Do you have a list of products/paints you use?
Good luck with the game! That sounds so exciting! I use all cheap craft paint. The most expensive item is my Proxxon hot wire cutter but you can achieve similar results with a sharp craft knife. I do coat the finished pieces with Minwax Satin Polyurethane.
Love these builds. The vines are a great idea. It would be great to show us all your builds in a setting as your work has a great theme going on. Keep up the great work, look forward to future projects.
I would need a bigger game table! They are starting to pile up!
Love the vines. I do something very similar, but instead of pva glue I use a heavy body acrylic paint to stiffen them up
I liked the color of the thread I used but painting sounds like a good way to go as well!
The vine idea is great. I've not seen that before. This is a very cool build. Thank you for sharing your work. What spray lacquer do you use?
Thanks! I use minwax satin polyurethane. It will eat foam so you have to be sure everything is painted.
@@ravenstead Thank you again!
love the vines!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to experimenting more with the technique.
Looking good, bro. I used that vine technique years ago, but never added to it with more flock. Great idea! I'm still learning new techniques from you. -Rick, USMC
Thanks! I think I may try untwisting the embroidery floss into multiple strands and see what that looks like.
Don't know if I said this before but your wet on wet style works so well. Finally had a project to try it recently
Thank you! I borrowed the technique from Bob Ross! Glad it worked out for you!
Love the shaping and weathering. Looks really good 😊😊😊👻👻👻
Thank you! I really enjoyed this build!
Looks great!
Thank you for watching!
After getting my Proxxon im going to make this as a nice at starter.
That's going to be great! I love my proxxon. I'm thinking about getting the fence from shifting lands. The stock fence is a little wiggly. Best of luck! I have a Patron showcase on my Patreon page if you want to show off your builds.
I enjoy your videos and your presentation style. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! This is such a cool hobby!
awesome!
Thank you!
Several years ago to make this layout and some six or so years later I have finally made it. Had the best time too. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
I bet yours turned out great!
Always look forward to these builds.
Thank you for watching another video!
Awesome haunted ruins, and just in time for October. Of course you still managed to include the ever present rotten plank.
Never forget the rotten plank! We need tee shirts! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful as every time you craft anoter piece. 😊
Thank you! This was a fun, quick build. I already have a D&D encounter written for it!
@@ravenstead that sounds great. 😊
Awesome, as usual! Love your work! <3
Thank you so much for your support!
Very atmospheric. I love the smaller builds, that look so detailed and amazing, but still inspire en push me to make my own terrain too.
This is a great hobby! Even cardboard terrain is looking good! Go for it!
I love it , great work 👍
Thank you so much!
good stuff, good stuff.. I want to see you do oil washes I think you'd kill with em.
Thank you! I just need to build a few test pieces or maybe I'll just go for it on camera.
Another creative masterpiece, congrats, I do like the finishing, especially the use of the moss/vegetation...
Thank you! I would love to see some of your miniatures on this terrain.
@@ravenstead One day may be!😊😊
Beautiful build, love seeing the rotten plank back
Our dear rotten plank friend missed you too! Thanks!
cobweb could b a cool and subtle "haunted"" touch :--)
Someone just saw a hot glue string I missed, does that count?
I noticed some strands of cobwebs in there as well. Very cool. As always.
Lol! Hot glue strings! A "happy accident" as Bob Ross would say!
You know, I’ve never heard of anyone trying this material in terrain painting, but I put that down to being novel: they make a water soluble oil paint. One tube of Burnt Umber ought to tell you whether it would work for you, and it should be pretty translucent even before you thin it out, with water or spirit. Dark brown. Enjoyed your video, nice little ruin.
There are several other builders, Black Magic Craft, Eric's Hobby Workshop, and Boylei Hobby Time, that have some great advice on using oil washes. I have been using watered down acrylic ink and acrylic paint for my washes. I have some old oil paints that could be thinned down with spirits. I have my process fairly homogenized to water based materials but I should give oil washes a try. The clean up and drying time has been a hurdle for me so far.. Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate the feedback!
@@ravenstead i used to use an oil wash technique in illustration, you would cover your pencil drawing with heavy fixative, then paint over the whole thing with thinned down oil paint. Then pull the highlights off in reverse with a brush using pure spirit, and when it dried enough, with an eraser. It was a fast technique, I don’t remember anything taking more than half an hour to dry. I would wait an hour just to be certain, then fix again before acrylic and color pencils to finish. It was a moody vintage photo look. I’ve thought about trying it again now that those noxious solvents are optional.
@@thaliahelene I bet that looked amazing! I would love to see your work. I watch Bob Ross all the time and draw a lot of inspiration from oil painters. I try to use an impressionist approach to terrain with indications of detail. If I were to get into more diorama work I would definitely want more detail. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot to me that you would take the time to share!
You really should give it a try to paint those stones in sandstone brown (reddish brown / e.g. old GW saddle brown) with a highlight of pale skintone. Pretty much most European medieval stone buildings from little stables to majestic castles were constructed from the red sand stone (harder and more expensive) or yellowish sandstone (cheaper and softer). It looks much more realistic than grey stones and is not as usual in the tabletop community.
Maybe these are African medieval stone buildings. (failed monty python joke)
Great ideas! I am getting a little to comfortable in my palate, I will have to branch out. Thanks for the feedback!
I'm curious; what's haunting the ruins? I like this build because it seems very playable all by itself; a small ruin sitting alone in a shrinking clearing. Thank you for sharing.
We shall see. It just had a spooky feel to it when I was finished. I may use this as an inspiration for my next Patreon adventure campaign. We just start one featuring the Goblin Stronghold from last week.
That is a must!
I appreciate you watching!
Very cool project ✌️
Thank you! I might have to expand on the terrain a bit! I liked the thinner base. Thanks for watching!
My painting skill is more geared for miniatures. I got one stop tomorrow at Home Depot for the right foam and minor tools. I can't argue with getting a free hot glue gun. Soon enough, I'll have time to do my own work. Your techniques are easy to grasp and i could get it going really quick. Love these videos. 👍
That's so exciting! I love gearing up for a project! Goodluck!
Another great little project. Thank you!
It was a fun build! Thanks!
First Comment!!!! Go Me!! Nice video!!!!
Thank you for the first comment and for watching!
Bro I absolutely love it! Good job!
Thank you! This was a fun build!
Nice work
Thank you for checking it out!
Nice build. It gives an interesting, if not exactly secure, high vantage point. With how far out the top end of the log stuck, as well as the fact that the lower end was hollowed out, I tend to suspect that bugbear would have ended up faceplanting as the log tilted under his weight.
Lol! I totally agree! The next time I use this piece that is most likely what will happen! Thanks for watching!
Really cool build!!! Love the bricks and palisades 😊😊😊
The bricks were tedious but the detail was worth it! Thanks for watching!
Your terrain pieces always turn out so awesome. You have a very cool style and aesthetic!
Thank you! I am very often surprised when something actually turns out okay! It's amazing what you can hide with flocking and misdirection!
I really do like these smaller terrain pieces that you make and this one in particular reminds me of one of the very first pieces of terrain that I made 20 something years ago when I was first introduced to Warhammer Fantasy. I had a small warband of Skaven and I wanted to make them a watchtower so with my parents trusty hot glue gun I cobbled together a horrible looking mass of sticks and hot glue which didn’t match the scale or even resemble anything that could pass for a watchtower lol It was an awesome mess and who would’ve guessed that all these years later I’m still proficient at making a mess when it comes to making terrain for my wargames 😂
LOL! I keep a piece of terrain I made about 25 years ago as a reminder to stay very humble. I've made more terrain in the past two years than I ever have. I learn something new with each build. This hobby is filled with so many talented builders! I could just watch other people's videos all day! Thanks for checking it out and keep slinging that hot glue!
