DIY FOAM Observatory for D&D

- DIY FOAM Observatory for D&D. Convert the windmill we made 6 months ago into this observatory. This video marks my 6 month anniversary here on UA-cam. We are going back to my first build (The Windmill) and converting it into this Observatory. Downloading the plans for this build will make it much easier since we're working with moving parts. If you grab the plans, you need to check the size of your telescope tube and adjust the observatory opening for your first few cuts if it doesn't match up. An easy fix for an Awesome build!

All worth it ;)
Thank you Gareth!
You make the challenge alive with your creative magic. I really love the time you take and quality you strive for in every build. I cant wait to join the coven very soon. Ive been watching all your videos, making to get supplies and patterns needed. Thank you and Blessed Be now forever and always.
Hope your family is safe 👹
Thank you Jennifer I really appreciate that :) I aim for a finished piece that I want to see on my shelf with every single video! It will be great to have you in The Coven. There are a lot of excellent crafters in there :) Thank you for your support and you and your family stay safe as well.
Rockin!
Thank you Wyloch!
Dude, Wylock, why am I just finding this guy now? Lol you guys should cross promote more!
I really like the style you bring to these crafts.
Thanks Franky! 🤘
So one fun trick I learned for lenses from a friend was to take the old GW Spacewolf gray (not sure what the current exact analog is) over a white or gray prime or base coat and then hit that with either a blue or green wash, it's quick easy and gives a very nice luminous quality to lenses.
Conrats on survivng six months! During a pandemic as well!
I love the deep modularity of your pieces, varied tables with less storage required. Also appreciate how you turn artifacts of the process (the angles on the dome) into features!
Thank you Mykl... I'm always looking for where I can add more detial.
So many moving parts! Modular is king! Congrats on 6 months!
Right on !! Thanks !
You know I heard someone say "oh its just another BMC", but no man. Your stuff is next fucking level. Keep it up.
Jeremy is a great crafter, but we both have our own styles :) Thanks wellofff
That is a beautiful build. I like the dwarven steampunk style.
Ultra Girl Thank you. It was a fun change of style! Sort of started with my sewer exit video.
This is great and will fit my steampunk world perfectly. I like how it's a fair mix of medieval and slight tech fantasy.
Thank you Zach... glad this one fits your style!
VERY cool build!!! I love the glare of the telescope
Thanks a lot!
It’s videos like this tat explain why you have 13000 subscribers! That is absolutely amazing and another beautiful addition to your collection. You are now a master foamsmith 😉
Thanks so much Andy, I really appreciate that ! Onward and upward ! 👍
Tabletop WitchCRAFT it is a pleasure to watch these vids (they come out every Saturday morning here in NZ), and your finished pieces always inspire me to create some artwork of them as well!
Very, very cool. The metal work is really nice. Love that you put up plans to help people in their builds.
Thank you :)
Amazing build, will definitely incorporate it into my steampunk cathedral build
Sounds awesome!
I have been building gaming terrain for decades, and i never use foam as a material, but i love your channel and the masterful results you get. Bravo.
Thank you :) Maybe it will inspire you to give it a shot !
Love the modularity of your builds. 👌
jamie69murphy Thank you Jamie:)
Превосходно. Так и пахнет средневековьем. Лайк!
Fantastic build as usual, the lens on the telescope is phenomenal.
Keith Stewart Thank you Keith!
i didnt know you were only around six months congrats i love your channel.
I would love to see more things like this to be modular i love this idea.
PheonixKnght I try and fit in the modular aspect whenever I can. Thanks for the compliment!
Beautiful piece! I will be sure to watch this episode on this weekend, mate! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy it Max!
I enjoyed every single frame of the video, mate! Amazing piece, this goes together with the GW observatory in the top list of things to try... Thanks for sharing!
@@MaxDMCrafting Sure thing Max! Thanks :)
Astounding as always John your work blows my mind keep up your amazing work
Hey Michael, thanks!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT your welcome buddy
I love love love how modular and interchangeable your pieces are! This build is so cool!
Thank you ! I had been debating on what to transform the windmill into for some time. I'm glad you like it !
Tabletop WitchCRAFT I was thinking there must be some way to incorporate this into the castle build, maybe switch out the shrine on the top level?... I haven't made the castle yet (just got the Proxxon recently!), but I'm sure there's a way!
@@BellydancerMaliha Great idea... you know the observatory would look cool placed right on the top of the castle ! I'm going to take a picture of it and post it on my UA-cam Photo Request album on my Facebook page :)
Fantastic work. Really enjoy your style and your engineering approach to building. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Lucas :)
Nice tip metal tool and cooling hot glue
Sure thing.
That looks so good dude I am blown away.
Thank you :)
Super cool. Wow! Love the steampunk look but still useable for D&D. Another fantastic build!
Glad you liked it John. Thanks!!
Man, I love this. This is amazing and inspiring to start building. I'm waiting on my HOT Wire Machine.
Thank you. You’ll enjoy it when it arrives!
Just awesome. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Huge congrats on 6 months!,
Amazing details..
Thank you Fargrim!
Seeing that Hero Quest in the background kills me, I had the original Hero Quest as a kid, never played it, was in mint condition. When my mom and dad moved house they left it in the attic, I could cry, lol.
Congrats on the 6 month milestone, im calling 50k subs at the 1 year mark.
Sean Ward I hope so Sean, thanks. FYI... I shed a tear for you.
That's fantastic! And congrats on your 6 month anniversary!
Thank you Olivia :)
Such a cool build. I would love to incorporate this into a wizards tower!
hmmmmmmm...... :)
Loving the modular aspect of the whole thing. Not only does this observatory look awesome, but using the base of the windmill gives one less piece to craft.
I try and do that with most of my builds... otherwise I would need a storage unit haha.
Love the modularity! Great job! Congratulations on 6 months!
Craft Logic Thank you!
Man, this is beautiful!
Thank you Rob !
I am always impressed with the amount of detail put into your work. Greatly Enjoyed the video!
CREATURES CAVERNS & CRAFTING Thank you 🙏
Congrats and thanks for this awesome build
Thank you rafael!!
Yea this turned out really nice.
Thanks Renier
Great job on this one, well done !
Thank you.
Awesome work man. You put a lot of detail into your builds, and they always look amazing. :)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!! 🤘
Love the copper , cool build.
Thank you, this was a great build to work on the patina effect :)
Top level stuff! So glad I found your channel!
Thank you, and I'm glad you found it as well !
Awesome building and made some great details. Thx for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Another incredible build.
Thank you Tamsyn :)
You outdo yourself with every video you put out!! Your channel really makes my quarantine sooo much easier!
Thank you Benjamin, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel... hang in there.
You bring such a distinctive style to your builds, and it's really awesome. Having your plans drawn up and downloadable is a cool touch as well.
Jacob Harbin I love to hear that Jacob, thank you!
I always want more of your videos.
Thanks Kenneth!
Bravo! I cant wait to test my skills out and try your builds out. 😊
Thank you! Post a pic of your finished build in the fan art photo album on my Facebook page!
Here I'm sitting, thinking I know what my next build is gonna be, but now I want a windmill and a telescope 😅
You have the ability to not just teach but inspire, keep it up!
Hi Mirko, thank you for that ! I really appreciate it :)
Awesome build!
Thank you !!
Well done! Grats on the partnership! Looking forward to the next 6 months!
Thank you David :) .... me too!
Thanks, very inspiring!
Thank you :)
That is AMAZING.......!!!!!!
Thank you Adrian!
love this build - great theme - i can just imagine a bunch of dwarves running this
Yep, I can totally picture that.
Great job bro! You earned it!
Thank you :)
This is pretty damned cool. I especially love the modularity with the base.
Thank you Lipzig!
this was awesome, congrats on the channel getting more traction
Thanks, I love seeing everyone enjoy the content.... it keeps me motivated for sure.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY FRIEND.
Thank you Maurice :)
Great build! I just supported you on Patreon. Can't wait to see what you make in the future.
Thank you Adam, I really appreciate that! I have some awesome stuff planned... and the list just keeps growing :)
You totally have earned that youtube partnership dude. Keep up the great work!
Fridge Magnet Thank you :)
It’s beyond me how you only have 30k subs. I shared your video to add some more. ❤️
Thank you, I really appreciate you spreading the word and your support. :)
Subbed. Beautiful build. Looking forward to watching the rest of you vids.
Awesome, thank you Richard... enjoy the videos!
Nice work. I like it.
Thank you :)
A masterpiece!!!
Thank you!! :)
Nice job bud. This is a great build. I was particularly intrigued by your creation of the dome. I've been planning on building a Eastern Orthodox church with it's distinctive onion-shaped dome, and I think you've just given me the answer as to how I'm gonna do it. Keep it up, because they really do just get better and better.
Mike Covell Thanks so much Mike. I’d love to see that build when you have it done!
Excellent content. Thanks.
Thank you Peter.
What is this, an observatory for ants?!?
First time viewer, love the build and commentary. Keep up the great work!
Chub Nub Thanks :) Will do.
Nice build
R Broyles Thanks
Dang. This build is on the next level. I really like the brass/copper painting that you did on the telescope. I was surprised that the rhinestones turned out so well as rivets. I have access to a bunch of those so I'll definitely go ahead and use them now. As usual, thanks for the quality videos and pro tips. Cheers, --Bo
Thanks ! Yeah, it's funny adding the rhinestones at first... it's deceiving. It looks cheesy unpainted, but they are awesome as a final product !
The whole build is amazing, but I really enjoyed watching the dome being cut on the jig ;D Shifting lands have some awesome stuff...
They sure do!... thanks for watching :)
I love it! I have been working on an observatory too, but mine is by no means as fancy. I am also working on a set piece for once the players go inside. I would love to see your take on something like that 😃
That would be a fun project. You’ve given me some fun ideas.....
awesome!!!!
Thank You ! :)
Amazing
Thank you.
Love your builds, so professionally done :) I'm loving the modularity of your work, its really inspiring for me and would love to try some of your builds though I'm still trying to get the right tools and space :P Congrats on the partnership :)
Thank you :) I'm not sure what stage you're in with regards to crafting tools but I did a basic and advanced tool videos. Here's the basic one for you to start with if you'd like: ua-cam.com/video/SgE0viD_fu4/v-deo.html
I'm a professional astrophysicist, and I approved this build! :D
Very fantasy look one (you would never have the telescope going out like that, how do you protect it from the result ? :P), but it's super cool to see an observatory ! :D
Congrats for this build ! Really cool. I'll share it with the folks at my two universities ;)
Very cool... thank you !! Have you ever seen those travel cups that fold all the way down to a small puck?.... well... in my world that's what happens here haha :)
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT That's exactly what I thought of :P A telescopic teslecope (unintended pun ^^) Again, it's anyway super cool to see an observatory being built :D That's the most important !
Now if you know someone for a DnD session, to interpret the crazy astronomer living there and lecturing your player all the time about planets and stars... you know where to find me ! XD
awesome
Thank you.
Great video and crafting, tanxs for sharing.
Carpediem
Thank you Bruno ! Thanks for watching.
What about a grand throne room like you'd see in lotr or the Witcher series? It could have two different versions I think, one being maintained and the other in ruin. Just a thought if you're interested
Cool idea!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT other suggestions for after the throne room (because obviously throne room gets top priority) : library interior and mage/alchemist laboratory.
Maxime Teppe I love this idea!!
Your new réalisation is certainly the post complexe to built. For thé Lens the egg of KinderChocolate can do the job.
It's a bit more complex, but really isn't too hard. Are you going to give it a try ;)
Tabletop WitchCRAFT Not sure ! It is a bit too modern for my fantasy universe
Epic
Thank you :)
Subbed. You've got some of the best looking builds. Also, do I hear a little East Coast? I'm from Long Island, NY orig. Now in Washington State.
Wow, I have to tell you ... you're good. I haven't been asked that in a while. Originally from Staten Island... I moved to a place with more trees, and cleaner air a while ago!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Oh man, I heard it from the first video!
I was trying to place it... I figured NY but couldn’t place a particular area or neighbourhood. :)
Awesome build. I'm love how everything is hold together by magnets and is total convertable. As a engineer I always wonder what CAD software you use? Keep up the awesome builds
Thanks :) The expensive one :( As an engineer I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about haha.
What a great job! Amazing build. BTW where is the link to the bronze paint? Beautiful color combination.
Thank you Sonia. I added both colors used at the bottom of the Amazon Links for you :)
Feels a little stumpy compared to the windmill, but man is it cool that you can just swap them out as you please.
I like to get the most use out of each build.
I have to say, that's some impressive stuff. I'm not sure how I've never seen your channel before, but here I am now. So far I have just watched this, your sewer tiles, and your ultimate castle build and I have gotten major inspiration from all of them so far. Fantastic stuff. A question though. I noticed on your paints you say Vallejo paint a lot. It seems to cover really well, especially the bronze. I have tried a few different metallics and most don't do full coverage like that. Granted, most of the time I do want the semi-opaque so the black undercoats give it an older and more rusty look, but sometimes, like on the telescope, a completely opaque look just looks so much better. Are the Vallejo paints worth picking up for this?
Bob Shewmake Thank you Bob, I’m glad you found the channel! I wouldn’t recommend Vallejo paint for large projects, they are mostly for miniature painting. I use them for small sections of the craft builds only. The main paint used for the telescope is Antique Cooper 666E by Folkart. I would recommend that for sure on this build. It’s an excellent paint.
Very nice but I suggest a pinhole observatory.
Thanks.
Love it man, and glad to be the 666 viewer lol. Just a general “talk shop” question for you. How much raw footage do you have recorded for something like this before you go through the editing process?
About 60-90 GB... easily over 100 clips.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Good to know I'm not the only one then, am about to release my first episode and was fretting over the amount of editing I was having to do.
Dude the observatory looks rigth out of the webcomic Girl genius
Right on !! Thanks Esteban.
Do you have a video on how you make your copper patina wash?
I do, check out my video that came out 2 weeks ago. The greenhouse addition to my haunted house. Perfect timing :)
Thanks for replying. I'll check it out @@TabletopWitchCRAFT
I am the artist that did the art for the shirt. see it on instagram @tregis_fantasy_artist or @tregisart on Facebook. :) Working with this talented dude was my privilege. :) Awesome and kind craftman ! I also have an artstation if you're curious. Cheers.
Same to you Regis! It was a pleasure working with you. I recommend checking out his art, some very inspiring work.
Que material é esse? Algum brasileiro sabe que material é e Se vende no Brasil? Tem uma textura melhor que isopor(sem as bolinhas), mas facilidade de corte tão quanto isopor. Do que se trata? Alguém sabe?
What material is this? Does anyone know what material it is and if it sells in Brazil? It has a better texture than Styrofoam (without the balls), but easy to cut as much as Styrofoam. What it is? Anybody know?
Estou usando espuma XPS.
Where did you get your drybrushes from? What manufacturer?
Hi kolobite, I have Amazon Links to the brushes and most of the items used in this video in the video description.
How about an arcane tower attachment as well?
I'm getting this a lot... and I like the idea ;)
What are those wooden templates you are using? I'm new to the hobby and love my Proxxon, but the templates look really interesting.
Luis Sandoval Hey Luis, are you referring to the windows? Or the jigs used on the Proxxon?
Tabletop WitchCRAFT I’m sorry the wooden jigs.
Luis Sandoval Ahh ok, yes those are jigs from Shiftinglands.com.
Tabletop WitchCRAFT Thanks so much!!!
Luis Sandoval Anytime.
That is yet another great video with an idea that I am totally gonna use. But for the love of god, why... WHY did you put an uneven number of cogs in a circular sequence? They couldn't possibly turn that way. Stuff like that stabs me right in my ocd-ridden heart.
Lol I was wondering when someone was going to make that comment :)
You deserve more subs. Google adwords. ;)
Thank you Ben :)
👍🇪🇸
Do take anything we say to heart to much if it's critical. We're all fil of sh.. BS yeah that's it. But if it's a complement, don't worry we're still full of.... lol.
vonries I hear ya... Just meant that I use what I can to grow and the other stuff... well.... ;)
:D
Seven people do not like astronomy.
Ronin :). I was hoping to change their minds....
