I'm just floored at the detail you're able to put into those books. Those spine stripes really set it off, and I would never have thought to include them. They're all works of art, honestly. Well done!
haha cheers!! This wasn't really a LOTR project but the ring skit just happened.... again lol. I guess the little desk I made is supposed to be Bilbos desk with the red book ;)
You know that warm ,fuzzy feeling you get when you discover an amazing yet under appreciated channel and you just binge watch all the videos? I got that feeling today when I found your channel 😊
I really like how you did the books! I wouldnt have ever thought to do them that way, but my favorite has to be the outhouse.....maybe because i old and have to pee all the time??? ;)
Thanks Lance!! haha I hope I didn't cause you to have an accident. My daughter pee'd on the sofa today so thats fun lol Also, thanks Lance, I just got a notification from Patreon! I will send you a proper message a little later this evening. You legend :D
An outhouse! FINALLY someone made one! 👍 I have an ongoing joke with myself (as I have no friends) that no matter the terrain or diorama, there are never "comfort facilities". The bookcase is my favourite for technical execution. I love that you use carving to make items. I need to learn that skill! Speaking of which, have you mentioned where you obtained the carving set you use?
@@Nat1videos the outhouse was very cool, but I would be so uncomfortable without a door! 😅 If you have a few moments more, a door standing ajar with a crescent moon window up high, and a can (ceramic jar I guess) of wood ash would complete that excellent build.
@@andrewfarrington6927 I did consider it! Also nearly made a curtain style door... but I wanted to stick within the time frame of 1 evening per project and it was already late in the day on that one! I figured as long as no one can attack you from behind you are good lol
The well is my favourite, it's a beautiful little piece that tells a real story all by itself. Also, I can't see an overgrown outhouse anymore without hearing 'All Star' by Smash Mouth... 😄
Amazing job on these! I'd say my favourite would be the wizards desk with all the bits and bobs on, they look great 🙂 I need a bits n' bob and jewelry pieces tin like that When you put on the ring I couldn't help but start singing "the bearer of the riiiiing, the wearer of the riiiiing" 😂
@@Nat1videos haha I thought I recognised it, nice one 🙂 It has it's moments that film, some of it's weird with the mix of animation and people... and then there's Gandalf being super creepy in Bag End 😂
You never see the start of Hollywood films taking care of arbitrary daily tasks that we all must deal with. I love the idea of seeing that on the tabletop!
Lovely idea to do some smaller projects to help get the creative juices flowing. I love the wizards desk. To me there’s always been something appealing about scholarly looking desks.
Hey Michael, i absolutely love your idea (and the execution ofc ;) ) of these little daily builds! Can't even decide which build i like the most... they're all so characterful and rich with details! 😍 No matter if you go big or small with your builds, your craftsmanship, artistry and humour blow my mind every time mate! :D
Thanks so Martin!! Appreciate it so much man. I have a package sitting under my crafting desk all wrapped up to send to you! I keep forgetting to go out to the post office. I need to get that done!
You have such mad skills! I love every single one of these. But, more importantly - to me anyway- is that you brighten my day when I watch your videos. Michael, you are CRAZY!!! You should know better than to put on the ring! LOL
I’m really into the outdoors scenery stuff at the moment, so I’m really into your well and wood pile. The difference in flocking colours looks awesome. Cool video Michael!
Thanks Dale! Yeah, mixing up your colours really helps. Also trying different mixes of types works too. Here I only used fine foam flock, but a little static grass or maybe even saw dust would help too :)
Really fun video with great results for each of the builds. Like many others stated, I really like them all, but I think the wood pile is my favorite. I'm cooking up this cool ruin scene diorama in my mind for my next project and I might just steal the wood pile idea for part of it. Thanks for this and all your videos. They are always a ton of fun.
Thank you!! I am quite surprised to see how many people like the little wood pile haha It seems that simplicity wins the day yet again :D Thank you so much for watching !
So feckin' cool, Michael. They all turned out so well. My fav is the wizard desk. I want it. Not that one. I want a full size one. Ah, well I am going to 5-in-5 challenge myself, in the near future. It'll be nice to build for myself, for a bit You just had to, eh? ⭕
Thanks so much bud! Yeah I like the desk too, maybe one day I'll build something full scale lol. Definitely do a 5 day challenge, its refreshing! And yes, I had to with the ring joke... couldn't help it haha
Great stuff, very impressed at the productivity here, I'd be lucky to crack one of these builds out in a week, never mind five, especially five that look as good as these. Especially like the desk, I'll be stealing that design some day soon.
@@Nat1videos I sometimes think my pieces look a bit flat so I challenge you to make some pieces with a "tall/height" theme Totum pole, Column, tree for eg.
❤ I enjoyed all of your mini projects but my favorite is the well. I've been so afraid to try to build anything but maybe I can start by making something small like this
Really good video. Lots of basic techniques put together really well. Always good to get back to the basics and make small scatter stuff that always comes in handy. Thanks!!! (My fav was the bookcase, I've not seen the books done like that. Nice and simple but they look great!!!)
these types of projects are something i really need to start doing more. i'm usually a tryhard perfectionist who doesn't get anything done because i obsess over stupid details. maybe i'll try my hand at this sort of challenge
Yeah, this is literally the kind of project you can just let go and have fun... don't worry about mistakes just craft, hone your skills a little and then save your perfectionism for your big ideas ;)
Hi Nat great video. Would you please share the types of materials you use. What type of foam is this, the cuttin equipment, the paints, or what did you make grass and soul out of etc?
Hey Nadia! Sure :) The foam is called XPS foam, or sometimes its called underfloor insulation foam. The hot wire cutter is called a Proxxon hotwire cutter but I also use a simple wood carving knife a lot which can easily be found on Amazon. The paint I use is all from the Army Painter Mega Paint set. And lastly I use a light shade and a dark shade of foam flock from Geek Gaming Scenics. Hope that helps :D
@@ragozzinehq haha yes! Ok... well I know as a one off payment that is a lot of money, but let me at least give a fair case for the proxxon. Most people these days have phones, laptops or i-pads etc that kind of cost the same amount, but they suck us in to social media which isnt good for our mental health. A Proxxon won't do that... it will always be good for your mental health. Some people like to party or have few drinks every now and then, which over time adds up to a lot of money.... that fun is fleeting and passes very quickly and you have nothing to show for it at the end. The proxxon doesn't do that. It's an amazing tool that is great for your mental health because you get to be creative and make awesome things that are unique to you! It brings lasting happiness because you get to use it again and again and again... So I kind of see it as a very affordable investment that becomes way more valuable than $149 in a very short space of time. And if anyone can afford other fleeting expences that don't last then surely with a little time and saving they could potentially have a Proxxon which will last a life time and bring many years of joy and happiness. How'd I do ? lol
Sorry if you've been asked this before but, where do you source your pink xps foam? Only place I know of is the underfloor heating company and I just want to check I'm not missing an easier or cheaper option. 😊
Was wondering if could next time show the paint steps. Been trying to get a tree done on attempt # 4 still looks like “a poop hill” my 11 year old. Also would love to join discord thank you, Best, Kyle

Thanks Mark!! It's all about the little details :D
Bwahaahahahaha! That ring montage with the Black Riders had me actually laughing out loud!
haha YES! I was quite happy with myself when I thought of that lol
Man, they are class wee bits of terrain, Hard to choose my favourite one to be honest. Meta humour on point too 😆
haha cheers!! This wasn't really a LOTR project but the ring skit just happened.... again lol. I guess the little desk I made is supposed to be Bilbos desk with the red book ;)
@Nat 1 videos Hahaha just happens, doesn't it. OK, if it's Bilbos, that's my favourite 😆

haha Just need to paint up a bug green Ogre! Also probably need to make a door now haha
I love the uniqueness of the wood pile! Cute 😊
Thanks Cerise!! I wasn't sure if people would like the wood pile, like maybe it was a bit plain....
Really enjoying that you're clearly having fun with the transitions!
haha yeah, I am having fun with that... probably overdoing it but hey, overkill is underrated haha
Amazing job on these! I'd say my favourite would be the wizards desk with all the bits and bobs on, they look great 🙂 I need a bits n' bob and jewelry pieces tin like that
When you put on the ring I couldn't help but start singing "the bearer of the riiiiing, the wearer of the riiiiing" 😂
haha yeah a bits and bobs box is a must! Also did you notice I used the sound effect from the Ralph Bakshi film when I dissapeared ?
@@Nat1videos haha I thought I recognised it, nice one 🙂 It has it's moments that film, some of it's weird with the mix of animation and people... and then there's Gandalf being super creepy in Bag End 😂

haha it adds to the realism I think... Your character in your DND game surely needs the toilet every now and then lol
@@Nat1videos 🤣
Lovely idea to do some smaller projects to help get the creative juices flowing. I love the wizards desk. To me there’s always been something appealing about scholarly looking desks.
Yeah, I kind of almost imagine it like Bilbos writing desk... but for DND a wizards desk is maybe more fitting :)
Bilbo as a wizard, now there's an amusing thought. :)

Thanks!!
Love the wood working pile!
Thank you :)
These look so cool! I love the idea of just crafting freeflow like this!
Thanks man! Yeah, its fun and I find it really helps develop the skills a bit, especially for the carving knife :)
You have such mad skills! I love every single one of these. But, more importantly - to me anyway- is that you brighten my day when I watch your videos. Michael, you are CRAZY!!! You should know better than to put on the ring! LOL

Yea I need to get experimenting and learning from the UA-cam greats! Ol’ father Time is definitely my enemy though!
Thanks for all the little ideas for when i'm bored and don't feel like making a big project !
Happy to help! Small projects can be just as much fun :D
Great video for some little scatter piece. Love the design and details.
Thanks Scott! Sorting through a backlog of comments this morning lol ... hope you are well ;)
Love them all but my fav is the wizards desk ❤
Thanks Bumpy!! That might be my favourite too... although the well is also fun :)
Great detail on such small pieces, I can’t even achieve that on my 1:12 scale pieces. Thank you for the video, very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks Caroline! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Спасибо Вам за ваше творчество, вы дали мне много идей как сделать ту или иную поделку! С большим удовольствоем смотрю ваши видео!

Thanks Brad!!
So feckin' cool, Michael. They all turned out so well. My fav is the wizard desk. I want it. Not that one. I want a full size one. Ah, well
I am going to 5-in-5 challenge myself, in the near future. It'll be nice to build for myself, for a bit

Even 1 craft a week is still a win :)
Still one of my favourite videos ever!
Would love to see another 5 day challenge soon ❤
Thank you !! Ok cool... well how about you challenge me? What would you like a 5 day challenge on?
@@Nat1videos I sometimes think my pieces look a bit flat so I challenge you to make some pieces with a "tall/height" theme
Totum pole, Column, tree for eg.
Excellent editing, dude. Beautiful builds too
5 day challenge build sounds awesome.
...but do I really need 5 more toilet mimics????
haha yes, yes you do Steve!!! An army of toilet mimics lol
Love how our terrible British weather entered the picture. Might do this idea with some friends at some point after GCSEs have finally finished.
Do it!! You will have a ton of fun :)
They are all so cool, but if I have to pick...I can't pick. 😅 The bookshelf is very cool.
haha thank you :D
Awesome mate love them! Makes me want to build a wizards library!
Thanks man! Yeah I keep thinking of doing that again... I did one a couple of years ago and I recon I would do a better job now haha
Great inspiration and job well done. Simple yet effective.
Thanks :D
Good stuff. Little projects like this are great in between the big builds.
Yes they are! Keeps you busy while you think up the next BIG idea haha
definitely the well for me or the wood cutter's stump
or the privy
ohhhh so it looks like you prefer the outdoors ?! :D
@@Nat1videos or maybe the bookcase
or the desk...
Calm mint for the owl go rhythm.
Thanks Tommy, appreciate it lol ;)
Very solid projects and work with multiple games and settings
❤ I enjoyed all of your mini projects but my favorite is the well. I've been so afraid to try to build anything but maybe I can start by making something small like this

Weeeeeelll, if I had to choose one it would be the Well!
Well well well! Someone who likes Dad jokes lol
these types of projects are something i really need to start doing more. i'm usually a tryhard perfectionist who doesn't get anything done because i obsess over stupid details. maybe i'll try my hand at this sort of challenge
Yeah, this is literally the kind of project you can just let go and have fun... don't worry about mistakes just craft, hone your skills a little and then save your perfectionism for your big ideas ;)
I mean the real winner was those transitions. But if I had to pick on… it has to be the well. A classic piece of scatter terrain for sure.
Yeah, the well is hard to beat! It also gave me the opportunity to do the ring skit which is a bonus lol
Reminds me I'm using cardboard not often enough .. :D
Bit of card board comes in very handy!
Awesome work on these.
Thanks so much Stephen!!
SORCERY!!!! very noice!! tanks!
I am HIGHLY disappointed!! “Cheesy camera trick?” Here I thought it was Nat1 magic that painted those highly detailed builds! 😂 -Rick, USMC
haha Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that and kept my secrets lol
nice fun builds. enjoyed the vid

I don't craft nearly enough to warrant a hot wire cutter, but my god does it look cool to have!

can you come over and sneeze my Hogwarts grounds pls ???? ;-) love the well !
haha I would love to sneeze on your terrain Tine, if only!! Thank you :D
You make it look so easy, but I know that if I tried this, each build would look like a dog ate my materials and threw them up on the desk lol
Have some faith in yourself.... In fact getting your dog to chew up the foam would be a great way to make ruins lol
