      Hi Joyce!
      I promise I will try to make The Overcrag just as interesting and entertaining as Undercrag City! I have no intention of leaving you all in the lurch!
      Mrs. O'Truth and I are working on the next video right now - a rather special one! But be warned - you're going to have to wait an extra week (so no video this Sunday! Sorry!)
      Plenty more to come! See you soon!

    Yet another awesome build! Scraps and I are most impressed, and we're loving the story of the Priestess climbing up there every morning to welcome the sun......they breed 'em tough in Undercrag City!! Once more, no sheep, or husbands, have been harmed during this episode. We look forward to the next installment and the continuing story behind this amazing build 😊

      @ColonelOTruthMiniatureIssues we can't wait! I have been telling friends about Undercrag City and how it's developing. They all think I'm cracked, but that's because they don't understand how fascinating it is to watch someone with your talent and imagination, bringing your ideas to life each week.

    ❤❤❤ Oliverius was old and tired. Very puffed out after venturing into Undercrag city. He visited the various buildings. Worshiped in the church. And sang hymns. Marvelled at the stone dragons poking the heads out of the rock. Got a bit tipsy in the tavern. Climbed up many tight and dark passages. Got frightened by the hidden insects and arachnids in the gloom passages that lead to the higher places of Undercrag city. Worshiped again at the dragon chapel. Crossed over a rope bridges to visit the upside down windmill. And left a gift 🎁 on the morning stone. A simple gift. A sunflower. To symbolise the coming and going of the sun. To pay respect to A marvellous work. A true masterpiece. That has inspired me to write stories. To practice my gift of storytelling. And gain confidence. And to say thanks. For a lovely journey. The history and architecture of A legendary world.

    I normally paint fantasy miniatures and used to make fantasy terrain pieces for D&D but I've
    been working on my N gauge model railway recently and couldn't find exactly the

    I 100% gasped when you said it was done and on to Overcrag! So wonderful to know that it's not ending yet!
    Seeing the dragon's face, I had a flash of scaffolding that sculptors would have used to carve it out. It makes sense Undercrag is built, but perhaps Overcrag is still in the process of building...? Timer will tell 😉

    As has come to be expected, another _absolutely splendid_ build! It might have been one of your "more simple" builds, but the intricacies it portrays are fantastic! I will say...I would _not_ liked to have been the one to carve the dragon's head on the tip of that precipice 😳😬😂 I'm certainly looking forward to Overcrag City! We need a complete, "walk the streets" tour of Undercrag City and the story of how it and Overcrag City will relate to each other. I'm positive the story would be enchanting!

    I think I remember you mentioning that you make terrain for wargaming; is Undercrag intended to be a setting for a game, or is it just for the sheer awesomeness of creation? I've really been enjoying how layered the story' behind the city feels, too - I get such a strong sense of place and history from it.

    • @ColonelOTruthMiniatureIssues
      @ColonelOTruthMiniatureIssues  Місяць тому +1

      This started as a piece for wargaming but quickly became completely impractical and got totally out of control!
      I think of it more as a setting for a roleplaying game than anything else, although my main reason for building it, is just for the sake of itself.

      I get asked this question a lot.
      I usually tell people that the best thing to do is buy the cheapest board possible, preferably not from a ‘proper’ art store. The lower quality board falls apart better!
      I’m going to ask my local supplier what brand (if any) they buy - it has no labels, so I don’t know!
