Sorry if I didn't get to your question, 60 seemed like the max I could do in one video. Hope you enjoyed it!
Good for you, man.
i dont want to offend you or anything, but i was wondering if you only like D&D type fantasy minis, because...theres a lot of us in the scifi area of minis that i think would basically have a stroke if you started doing scifi terrain :O, not that i dont like fantasy or anythin, i love both! also i think your channel is really awesome and you put a lot of effort into it and it shows and i'm super thankful because, i can't really do any of this stuff (lack of talent and materials) so watching you do it makes me happy, lol congrats on going full time youtuber! Also i'm glad to hear your wife is doing better, too (i didnt watch the video before typing this because i was excited to hear the news, sorry)
Sean C - Watch Commissar Gamza for sci fi.
And Wyloch's Armoury, He has quite a few 40K scenery items : ua-cam.com/channels/rKJd7jQ989DZvtf5C69mYA.htmlfeatured
Sean C I’m sure I’ll eventually build some sci-fi stuff, but I’ll have to start playing something that needs it first. My builds are actually used for my game which happens to be fantasy. At least for now.
Congratulations on going full time. I hope to be in your shoes in a couple months!
You’ll get there man, you’ve got what it takes! Feel free to msg me if you ever need to bend an ear about the nitty gritty end of channel business.
It will happen. Your videos are honest and really helped out myself and a lot of other newbies.
Hope it happens soon for you!
Awesome! I watch both of your channels!!!!!! Congrats!!!
Two great channels.
Look at you now!
“For this kitchen remodel, what do you recommend for paint?”
“Start with a nice black wash to really bring out the details, then paint, then some dry brushing to bring out the highlights.”
You joke, but when I helped my parents remodel their kitchen my mom actually pretty much did this. Something she saw on HGTV for a ' farmhouse' look.
Congrats on becoming a content creator full time! So happy for you and your family!
Thank you :D
I just wanna tell you a little story. I hadn't played a D&D in 15 years (3.0 was the hot new edition ), and last December, while in a UA-cam hole, I stumbled across the dark cathedral video. I was instantly inspired to find some XPS and build something. My son was getting to an age where we could play dungeons and dragons. ..
It is because of you, that I rejoined the world of TTRPG and is now a family event, in our house.
I'm gonna get this comment tattooed on my back it's so wholesome
Yes!!! This is an awesome story 🙌🏼
Im so glad u r not stoping, i build every thing u show case and i love what u do (full time ) now thank u
Today is my 23rd birthday! My husband and I can’t wait to make terrain and buildings following your videos when we find a house and have space to do it! Best channel ever
Take care of what you need to take care of. You are the most important person to this channel. If you do need to stop no one would blame you. I'm always looking forward to more videos. I love the channel and am amazed sometimes by how much work you put in to the videos. Every one of your videos has helped alot. Thank you so much for your content
Been watching you a lot for about a year now, as I watch your channel grow it makes me so happy to see you succeed in something you both love and are clearly gifted in. Thank you Jeremy for all you have done for the community and I look forward to the future of BMC. Cheers!
Couldn’t recommend this channel more for crafters as well as DM’s! Videos are top notch, informative and cover a range of topics in a hobby where newcomers can sometimes feel overwhelmed or confused. Also! For those of you buying pink foam, buy it on a nice day with no wind, wind will bend the hell out of your foam and you’ll be fighting it learned from experience!
I stuck it out until the end... 41 minutes and change. In my "never to be humble opinion" it was easy, you were concise, entertaining, and most importantly to me, honest. I don't think you suger coted any answer and just gave no-nonsense answers. This is a quality that I often find lacking and it was SO refreshing to watch a favorite of mine already, this Q&A so well. Thank you, sir, if I wasn't already a subscriber, this video would have made me subscribe.
Your setup is one of neatest of all the makers I've seen on UA-cam. Really efficient looking, and inspires me to do some cleaning up!
I (and my wife by contagion) started watching your builds recently and have really enjoyed watching something of creative value get made. I am happy for the fact that you have the time to be a full time resource. Best wishes to you and your family.
I'm really happy with this news! good luck for this new adventure from Italy. We say “in bocca al lupo” !!!
Congrats! Great content and I respect the "Nothing" vs "Crap quality" stance. Looking forward to the future.
You did it!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, but also equally happy to hear about the successes and that your wife is doing better. You are indeed extremely hard working; even if the only thing on your plate was the YT channel, you have always put out quality, helpful content. Congratulations on making your goal a reality. It's well deserved!
Heya Jeremy, thank you for all you do man. Your videos have inspired me and helped me level up my terrain/tile projects. It makes me happy that you are continuing to make these videos and chose family and us!
Congratulations man. I always love to see people being able to make a living doing what they love! Good for you!!
This is late but congrats on going full time! You're so informative and entertaining, your hard work shows!
Congrats, brother. Nothing beats working for yourself. Enjoying your content!
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like a really rough year.
Congratulations dude! Here's to many more awesome projects here on the channel!
Congrats!! Been self employed for a long time and love it. All the best on your full-time channel. You always do quality build work.
I've been out of the loop for a while, and so glad things are working out for you brother!
Hey, I'm a student in Saskatchewan going to school for carpentry and love d&d, as well as performing locally with guitar and wanted to say your a pretty awesome role model.
Okay I need some advice. My son is writing an adventure for D & D. I thought it would be cool to make a miniature set of his adventure building. It is going to be huge even to scale. It will be 4 ft. x 7ft. and possibly 4 ft high or a bit higher. It has to be light weight and done in parts that fit together. As each floor will be separtate so they can see where the action will be as they clear it. Maybe each floor could have like 3 sections. They need to connect to stand on their own without coming apart. Each floor will occupy the table separately but when done it will all come together. Like I said a big project but I think will be awesome when done. I am also not very good at details so I may need help on that end. Any suggestions?
Really appreciate all your hard work and perseverance. You have influenced my own gaming so much and receive a ton of compliments on my terrain which I credit to you. Thank you!
Congrats on meeting your channel goals. I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your grandfather and friend.
BMC you’re an inspiration. We love you and want you to succeed and be happy. The information and beautiful videography and crafting has been a miracle in my life, brought a friend and I closer together, and truly improved my life. Keep it up!
Just finished watching this today while working thanks for the answer on my question. Good job and Keep the great thing your doing
Congrats, Jeremy! Thank you for the inspirational content. All the best!
Congratulations 🎉 on becoming a full time youtuber! Doing what you love is the dream. I wish you and your family the best of luck in this new chapter of life 👊🏽🤨
A LOT of good news! Congrats for your success J! I'm also glad about your wife! - I'm experiencing something like your situation with my wife... so I understand A LOT! Very happy with your decision... BMC rocks! By the way... I appreciated the answer to my question... I'm shooting and editing - just as a beginner - also alone... and it is a sort relief for me to know that you too suffer Lol... and look where you have arrived! You are a great inspiration for me. If you want I will come and help you to record your videos lol
woah, that did seem like a tough year and half. Glad you have a good and healthy way to cope, your videos are great, I appreciate you a lot.
Congrats going full time :) I just recently joined, but I really like your content.
I'm not into crafting, but I like to relax to these videos.
Congratulations on going full time. Love all that you do and I really appreciate you doing it!
Good luck with the changes. Thank you for answering these questions.
Haha, your musician story hits home. I was in a touring metal band, and that kinda just fell apart on its own (not really because of family stuff). I got back into D&D after battling alcoholism as a way to trick my friends into coming over and hanging out instead of going out to bars. 2 years later and it has completely consumed my life. But I feel like I'm in a healthier place now than I have been in years.
I wish I had thought to ask more about your music. Next time!
The first Q&A vid from last year talks about my music in detail if you’re interested.
Ah cool! I'll check it out.
I came to say a similar thing! Was in a touring band for 5 years, and after it fell apart I realized I'd built my life around my band, my bandmates, and only planning as far as the start/end of the next tour or gig. I got back into TTRPGs and gaming in general, and now I feel like a happier, healthier person than I ever was when I was "living my dream" on the road. I really miss playing gigs and living in music, but I really don't miss all of the drama and pain that comes along with the lifestyle.
Congratulations Jeremy! glad to hear you got the oppertunity to do this :)
Very good vid answered a ton of really great questions. Glad things are starting to fall in line for you, yes kids hard work really is the answer. Look forward to your vids hope you continue to grow and branch out. Way to go Jerome.
Congrats bud! So glad you're making enough cash doing this to support yourself and your family.
Loved this Q&A. Thank you and congrats on doing this full time! :)
Congratulations! --I'm pretty new to the hobby, but love your videos and everything BMC.
I'm so happy that you will be more relaxed making your video's. Good luck being a full time creator and I'll be watching :)
Great news on becoming a full-time UA-camr! Congrats! I really enjoy watching your foam build videos, and want to try and replicate some of your builds for my gaming. I can't imagine how your videos could possibly get better, which says a lot. Your vids are great!
Congratulations on going full time. I hope it works out for you in the long run.
Congratulations to you and well-wishes to your wife! I just happened across the channel and it looks to be top-notch content.
Good for you man. So happy for you to be able to do this full time. +1 cheers
If you ever have the issue with the size of the base being bigger, go to the craft store and get a few of the wooden discs that are the 1 and 2 inch diameters. You can easily put them underneath the base to raise it up and let you fit characters in place.
It becomes even easier if you also have metal washers of the same size, stack two or three of the discs glued together with a washer on each end. Paint it black and you can normally work with it...if you have a magnetic table, add a magnet into the center of the bottom washer...
The major problem with the minis size is when people scale things odd
I know this is a few months late, but something that might help with focusing the DSLR by yourself is to put blocking tape on the floor so you know where to put your tripod and maybe use a mic stand with a tennis ball as a stand in for yourself. I'm sure you've found a way to work with this, but I figured I'd offer a little bit of help if you still need it. Love your vids as always and you've been a huge inspiration to get me started in the crafting scene.
Congrats.
It makes my day to see your video posts. You trump my 3d printers when it comes to making terrain ! Keep up the great work.
ha I love Rhett and Link, Tested, also if you like food shows check out Binging with Babish. Glad you're not quitting the channel, you're the reason I make these things. I don't even play, I just love making stuff.
Babish also recently quit his day job to do UA-cam full time
I'm listening to this as background noise at 3:00am as I work on a very over zealous Halloween DnD build. Thank you.
congrats on going full time! love your vids, even though I'm only sculpting minis right now. lots of great advice and general attitudes towards life in this video. really glad to see your hard work and dedication paying off.
Good news! You deserve to be a full time crafter. Rock on!
Great Q&A , I completly agree that the work life balance when doing a channel is a nightmare so respect to you for getting to the point you can do the channel full time. Hope the next year is a good one for you and you have the time to enjoy what matters most your family.
Congratulations on going full time content creator.
I've been crafting things for decades (ren faire, costuming, actual robots) but just just getting started with terrain. I gotta say, your thoughtful, precise approach and execution is inspiring and quite appealing to me as an engineer. Since I run sci-fi for my group (we're starting a Star Wars campaign soon) I'll be focusing on sci-fi tiles and terrain. But, Star Wars is a space opera fantasy setting, so there will definitely be some fantasy style builds. I may even record some of the builds since there's not a lot out there for sci-fi that isn't Warhammer 40K.
If, by chance, you make it down to Austin, TX at the beginning of any May, I'd love to have you as a guest at Chupacabracon. But, I know traveling from Canada can get complicated and expensive and, as a charity, we couldn't help. But, open invitation regardless.
Thanks for the videos, tutorials, and tips.
Congratulations man! You are living the dream
The bigger shock would have been if you chose to quit your family for work and the channel, but this is fine for content. LOL
Good luck with the channel going forward. It's great stuff.
I could try....but they would end up finding me.
You could banish them to the Vale of Shadows.
Send them to the wall?
Send them to the wall?
Thank goodness! I can't watch the video yet, at work... I saw the title and thought you were quitting the channel, NO!!!!!!!! I had to hurry to the comments to see what's up. Glad this thing is taking off like you deserve. You're an amazing crafter.
Wish you the best, keep up the content and I pray your success grows!
Thanks for the channel. You seem to make RPGs very accessable, and I appreciate that very much! You never get more time with your family, so cherish those moments as much as you are able.
Congratulations!!!!! I love seeing UA-camrs that are able to make their living doing their craft. It is so awesome :-)
Good for you man! Livin the dream
I follow you in the main group and in the pvt fellowship. You killed it bro. You answered so many questions I had and so many more I wasn't thinking about but once you said it I wanted to know the answers. Congrats on 2+ years and here's to many many more.
I am more pleased at this news than I have a right to be. It's easy to just sit here and watch, but I know it's WORK to create such content. I wish you and your family all the best at this, at the same time I wish I could support such effort more than I can. The best I can do is be a fan and watch faithfully and I know if I ever get back into modeling, this channel is going to be my 'go to' for almost all of it. Thanks for that, and thanks for all you do.
Congrats to getting to your dream of being a full time creator. It’s awesome to see someone from our great city on here and to make it. Thanks for all the great videos . 🍻
You're a fucking legend. I am proud to count you among my circle of friends.
And I'm forever grateful for all your help, guidance, and inspiration to get me here :)
It was worth it.
Nice man, happy for ya. You're the reason I have a proxxon table.
Congrats! It's always a relief to escape BS and be your own boss!
You're channel is awesome and inspiring. I watch a number of mini painting and terrain channels and your's is the best! Keep up the great work! And thanks so much for your practical approach which makes being a beginner so much fun.
Congratulations on making the transition! Love your work and your channel is really inspiring to me :)
Yassss!!! Keep it up man. Love your vids. I’ve rewatched many and I even made a couple trees from scotch brite pads.
Congratulations!!! Happy for you and your family!
Congratulations! Love the channel, and your honesty. Especially when you show the mistakes along the way. Very helpful to know the thought process behind the builds.
What a great video! Very inspirational. I've started filming some crafting videos and hope to start uploading soon, very nervous and very exited!
I saw this on the 12th not the 13th but love the video man very much appreciate what you do. This hobby helps keep my mind calmer.
Hi Jeremy! Awesome decision! I will you the best of luck and I'm expecting alotta awesome videos & tutorials up to come!!!
Congratulations on going full time. I remember your vid from a while back where you put yourself out there and publicly committed to this goal. I remember thinking that took guts, and you also seemed quite emotionally invested in achieving it. It's really affirming to see your hard work and dedication pay off. You should feel proud about this one, you've earned it.
On a (possibly not completely) different note, I usually tune out and bail from vids over 20-30 minutes as they tend to be b-o-r-i-n-g and torturous videos which should have been edited down to 10 minutes. I was really hesitant about watching a 41:17 long video, but I was surprised when you said, "Well, that's it..." at the end. It didn't feel like more than 15-20 minutes spent, so congrats on not only learning the RPG terrain craft, but on learning the vid content craft. You kept me engaged through over 40 minutes of nothing but talking head content - impressive!
Hey man, big fan. I'm a little late to the party here but congrats to you going full time. Sorry for the rough year brother, I've been there. I have Crohn's as well, I really hope whatever meds your wife is on continue to work. Best of luck!
Hey Man, I really enjoy all your stuff and I am super happy for you becoming a full time content creator. Thank you.
This was Awesome. Hope you do more of these in the future. Although it's funny how many people could answer their own questions by simply checking out your older content. Wish I had the money to support you on patreon, but the life of a disabled vet is very paycheck to paycheck. Oh well, keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for this great youtube content! I love every minute of it and i hope your channel will grow every single day! Good luck :)
I'm hoping to start a new business this year myself. I tried UA-cam way back in 2007 and found it just wasn't for me, maybe with the new job I'll do some videos for it.
@blackmagiccraft i have only just started watching your channel, you have some great content and have inspired me to make terrain now for warhammer 40k, went out a bought some XPS foam and a cutting tool and am going get busy.
I just wanted to say congrats on the channel, sorry to hear about your wife, i also have Crohn's and this disease sucks so much. I'm happy you have each other and support each other so well.
Keep up the good work, all the best.
BOY!!! You had me worried. I was legit about to flip some tables!! lol Anyway, good luck with the channel from here on out.
Awesome thanks for answering questions. Started watching your content recently congrats on living the dream!
FYI, even if your videos are a little long, there is a playback speed that for us who may get impatient or are strapped for time, can speed the video and fully comprehend what you are saying and doing.
I have been a gamer since 1978, but, due to circumstances, aka Life and children stopped modeling and now I have more time, (grin,) art is so precious, and I want to let you know I appreciate your channel past and present here in 2022, congratulations for making these items and being a Game Master. love the inspiration! from an avid gamer fan with my children and grandchildren, and lazy computer RPG real time games runescape, wiz101 wink.
Glad you're doing what you love, keep up the great work!
I really hope you get to that point. I would love to watch your streams. Even if you are crafting live.
I sincerely wish you success in all you do. Your results are amazing, and I can't believe you don't have a million subscribers. I absolutely believe you'll get there. Thanks for the great content. 🍺💨
Congrats on your great new! Didn't know about your wife, but very glad to hear she's doing well. Love your videos, and look forward to more sick creations!
I make dioramas and playing tables for 1:72 miniatures.so its even a smaller scale than d&d but your Videos have allways been a great source of knowlegde for me. Greetings from Germany =). Cheers
This was a wonderful video to watch. I have a channel myself (The 28mm Build) and it has very few vids as I have realized what a massive undertaking it is. It is as you have said, a great deal of work doing what you do, and I respect and appreciate your drive, passion, and dedication to your craft. My hat is off to you. This vid was full of all kinds of great insights and information. Thank you for what you do and have given to this community.
Great video! And I've just made the jump and joined the Fellowship. My first game as a DM is coming up, and I feel waaaaay more prepared now that I've crafted some terrain and watched videos like this one. Thanks man!
Thanks so much!
Very happy for you! And well deserved.
Oh man, I missed it and didn't get to ask! Hopefully we get another qna??
Very late but, my condolences for your losses.
Oh! And congratulations to your success and your wife's health!!
glad to hear that you have gone full time!! yeah! you rock!
Great video man! Always enjoy listening to you discuss your work, and it's great to hear your personal life is going well too!
