Another great build vid! not my period but still learned loads from the methods used. Thought the still photos at critical points were excellent. Honestly, i hope other companies see your recommendations as a big boost to their business and support you in kind, as so far i have made significant purchases from Charlie Foxtrot, Grand manner, Warbases, Supreme Littleness and more all on your recommendation- and now after seeing this it will be hovels and bad squiddo for things that had slipped my observation in their ranges! Keep it up Rich. Regards, Dan
G'day mate. Good to see you got home safely. Really enjoyed your/our video. We have a greta hobby community and it's good to be able to point out those companies who have some exceptional products. Not overly bothered about a shout out back. It's all about the community
@@toofatlardies Hi Rich..glad you enjoyed it! I think its fantastic that that sense of unity and community is felt not just by us - and you- all as gamers but also by you as companies too. long may it continue..what a great hobby we have.
Very nice, might have to give it a go. I have piles of coffee stirrers that I think would work as well as the planking though they might need a bit more work to look as rustic and axe hewn.
Pretty good video. I was a bit skeptical on your method and materials...but the results have prove themselves worthwhile. Never thought to use scouring pads for thatching. Thank you for a great how-to video.
Excellent video chaps. I don't game this period but I've taken a lot of ideas for future terrain builds from it. I also intend to use the phrase horse's arse at least twice this week 😁
@@toofatlardies Aye, 23:36 - this is now going to be my standard way of describing avoiding messing up when building scenery. It sounds aptly rural and village like anyway :D
Picture me puzzled... so what DID you do to the roofs? I can see that the green pot scourers have changed but we did not see the process that was followed, we only a got a brief verbal description. The roof process on film would have been very useful. B
Thank you. It is the missing link! :) If I can make one suggestion... I use these green scourers new as the basis for 15mm WW2 bocage hedges. I glue them to wood strips and then flock over them. But for roofing you really need to have them more flexible. I find that - in use as a scourer - they rapidly go limp and flexible. So, as a roofing material, especially over the ridge of the roof, trying soaking them in very hot water for an hour or two or just pinch a used one from the kitchen. You should find it much more maleable. B
These are great, hoping to use these techniques for a little DB village! Related question, do you have any suggestions on what a 5th-century British church might look like? Would these techniques yield a somewhat historically accurate result? (i.e., build the big drinking hall and stick a cross on top)
might I suggest that it would have been even simpler to just score the planking into balsaso it went on in one largish piece as opposed to being so fiddly
That's true. I must say that I don't think the effect would have been as rustic as what we achieved, but certainly if you wanted to save three minutes it's an option.
Roofs look great. Good idea using the scouring pads.
great finish, and the roof material is really effective.

Great news that you've found it useful.

Looks very good.
Good work, the finished house looks excellent.

Creative and very nice job, congrats!

Did I really say 'Horse's arse'?

Beautiful.
Cracking stuff Rich 👍

If you like, I will do that tomorrow as a supplementary video

I thought Morph was going to appear when the music started ;)
He did, hahaha

Fingers, fingers!
