I really don't like using foam for structure because, unless you seal it from the atmosphere, it will always deteriorate and disintegrate over time. That said, your hay bales look really good and believable. Cheers from eastern TN
Thats a brilliant hay bale, I need some hay but am not sure about bales in medieval times? They look really good though, I have been around hay bales my whole life and these are well convincing! Its called baling twine.
@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws Making hay into bales is late 1800s, not earlier. The clue is that wire is used, and wire had to be drawn by hand in the Middle Ages, making it very expensive. So before the 1880s, hay is pitched up into the hayloft from the hay wagons, and lies around in huge loose heaps. That's why sleeping in haylofts was a thing. In chilly weather you could burrow into the hay for warmth.
Just popped over from Dar Matter Crafts who suggested your channel. Those blocks would make great miniature lamingtons, lol. I really enjoyed the tutorial therefore I subscribed.👏👏👍
Haha...I had lamingtons on the brain when I made those, putting that brown ink on, looked like chocolate sauce soaking into cake.. Then the sprinkling of coconut husk. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Thank you for subscribing, I hope you find some good stuff here to inspire your crafting!
I made it from cardboard using an image online from the game Elder Scrolls Online. I created this a couple of years ago before I started making videos. But am keen to start making more buildings like this in the near future.
I didn't make that ink, a man who was a paint technician years ago made it. Sadly it's now all gone and I'll have to buy some brown water based stain to replace it.
Those hay bales look very realistic. Thanks for sharing this with us.
They came out better than I expected, They've been one of my favourite little things to make
Thank you for the tutorial. Gonna make these for my DnD terrain
No worries! 🙂

Just what i was looking for..my christmas crib will be perfect now. ✌️😊
Excellent! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!!
Cool but not sure why you stained it first. I did them without the staining. 😌

Looks great, hmmm I may add some of these on my latest project.
Excellent! I will have to check out your latest work :)
Wonderful, thanks for sharing this tip
You're so very welcome! I hope you found this to be helpful :)
Wow this is amazing
Great idea. I will definitely try this. Thank you.
These are fun to make, just be very sure to trim each side as you go, it's key! :)
Great video 👍👍
Thank you! :)
These look amazing! ♥
Thank you!
So realistic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's that little layer of paint to highlight them. That's the secret...Don't tell anyone! o.-
@@dinkydioramas8349 you have my word 😉
Brilliant! Thank you for this, I've been trying to find a tutorial for these!
That's excellent, I'm glad you found what you were looking for :)
@@dinkydioramas8349 I made them for my 1/12 scale medieval tavern that I've been building over on Instagram. They came out great!
Great project, thank you! Your Tudor house is lovely. Is it a kit or did you make it yourself?

Really cool!
You did this very nicely 👍😁
How do you make the ink?
I didn't make that ink, a man who was a paint technician years ago made it. Sadly it's now all gone and I'll have to buy some brown water based stain to replace it.
What a pity. I was hoping to finally find a good recipe for that stuff😉
@@juliagroothuis It is a great pity I cant make it, I'd be making it by the barrel full and immersing everything in it! lol
Looks like chocolate fondu!!😆
I got hungry several times making these little treats lol
Will this be suitable for a replacement for hay? Due to allergies thanks you
I would imagine it would be yes, as it's made from coconut husk.
