I have a player that loves using Leomund's Tiny Hut spell, and this would be a great way to show that at the table!
There you go Tim... you have to make it now :)
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Definitely! Even though we are playing online only right now I want to make one anyway. Of course, I made a big Amazon order yesterday, so I may have to make another one soon, plus go get some yogurt... (blueberry in honor of my Maine roots). Have you tried Fimo Effect yet for doing things with LEDs? I saw it on a video from NerdForge and have a brick to experiment with.
@@chemgeektim You have to love those Maine blueberries :). I haven’t messed with Fimo yet… I’ll have to dig into this. I already have an idea for it haha.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Nice! I know how it goes! Looks like they have a couple of translucent varieties in the Effect line, and a glow in the dark one too.
That’s awesome! I have a two part resin mold for a full sphere, now I have a new way to use half of the mold without using a ton of resin!
Excellent :) !!
quick tips for tacky UV resin surface: you can 1- let the sun does the work(cuz sunlight has a different UV wavelength than your LED lamp), 2 - apply a layer of NON-WIPE nail gel UV topcoat (The non-wipe uv has different formula i guess), or 3 - wipe off the tacky resin with 80% or higher ethanol, (the surface becomes matte) then apply a layer of glaze, clear nail polish works.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing.
I could see this being used on a very important boss fight, requiring players to shut it down while fighting minions, to then face the boss. Great craft as always, I really appreciate the variety that you bring, each video is guaranteed to fill a different need in a tabletop game.
Really cool idea Levi, and thank you for that comment !
I bet the clear plastic Christmas ornaments from craft stores would work well for this.
Yeah for sure!
Now that is amazing quick craft! I like the way you created the bubble. Another great video John.
Thank you Scott! Great craft yourself !
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thank you!
Seems perfect for Leomund's Tiny Hut!
Yes!
This is fantastic, you could add so many diferent textures to the bubble. Even add a bit of pigment to it. Awesome work, as always!
Sure can! Thank you :)
That's a really cool idea. Looks like I do need some UV Resin. Also, nice candle. Firelight fable candles are really awesome.
Thank you ! Yeah the UV Resin is real nice to have on hand. The candle... smells... awesome :)
Really cool spell-marker! I love the name too! Shield of Faith! Awesome! I posted a picture of my Tentacle Trap (Tentacles coming out of a puddle of water on a dungeon tile) to Tabletop Crafters Guild a few days ago. I'm sure that if you did one it'd be even cooler looking! Hint hint! LOL
Thank you :) !! Have you seen this video: ua-cam.com/video/GFt9ix7JhkM/v-deo.html
Ooh this could be a good way to make a glass dome. Nice job dude
Definitely! Thanks :)
This could also be used for the magic spell Leomund's Tiny Hut effect. A 10 ft radius hemisphere immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above and remains stationary
Definitely !! Thank you Michael.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Your welcome
This is so cool! I'm gonna use it to make void shields for my titans.
Right on, sounds awesome!
The best spell effect i have ever seen!!!
Oh wow... thanks I appreciate that ! I'm glad you like it :)
Hobby Lobby/ Michael's carries DIY spherical ornaments in assorted sizes. I've seen 2" to 4"+. They're made of clear acrylic. Maybe these could work. They come in bulk packs.
Cool. You could still wrap it in saran wrap to get the wavy effect.
Hope your nephew (I think it is) who got hurt by an evil wizard's Fireball spell is doing much better!!!! Great video as always!!!
Than you Mark for asking.... He is doing much better! Excellent in fact. Still a ways to go in recovery but it's looking good. Thanks!
I learned from nail art videos that you can wipe away the tacky layer with alcohol. That's what I've been doing when working with UV resin.
Ahhhh... cool... Thanks for that tip. I'll have to try it out.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Sriously, Thought it wasn't curing properly, mind blown after watching nail artist explain (with infographics!) how uv resin works. She deserves the thanks... forgot her name though :D
Also just a fyi you should check out how we do sugar crafting on objects to make things because it's very similar to what you did here to make the globe and I'm sure there are tons of other shapes/things you could make by copying a few sugar crafting methods.
( We would have blow up balloon to size of globe , covered in plastic wrap then cover in hot sugar, once the shape was made you pop the balloon and remove it then you are left with a perfect globe )
I thought of doing that! I'll give it a go on my next one... Thanks.
This would also work really well for antilife shell! I need to start experimenting with resin, there's so much you can do with it!
Yeah it's a great tool in your arsenal!
Cool. I think I would've given the base a grey/white foggy look to make it a little more multipurpose.
Cool idea, I like it.
Really good video, lots of potential on this one. Good for power shields in SciFi games, too. I got a bunch of clear Christmas tree ornaments years ago to make domes for buildings, they would work great for this, too. Thanks!
Oh yeah for sure... this would make a killer power shield !! Thank you.
Good stuff, John. The resin "bubble" technique is truly cool
Than you :)
"Tabletop witchcraft loves yogurt" - Terry Cruise
LOL
I could use something like for the effect I was looking for Gandalf against the Balrog. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh awesome, glad it helped !!
Holy cow. How did you come up with the idea for using plastic wrap? That was brilliant. Thanks for the craft. It’s really amazing to see your take on your patreon’s ideas.
It just came to me haha... Yeah Scott's build was great and I'm happy to have spawned this video from his Craft Off submission!
Really cool idea! I'd love to see more spell effects like this, it adds so much to an enoucnter!
Cool... I'd like to add to this playlist for sure.
The tackyness of the resin will be probably due to a couple of variables........ how well mixed it is before use and ambient moisture... the latter being what usually catches people out, moisture interferes with the chemical changes going on. . . . dry, warm (not hot) environment for best results :) (info more for others as im sure you know this stuff)
Ture.. good stuff here.
So easy, and so beauty! Like!
Thank you !!!
Don't mean to burst your bubble. But was going to come up with an old shield joke, but those have been around for aegis.... Great job, as well as, the great ideas are much appreciated brother. 🤘
Aaaannnnd…. There he is with the one liner haha. That was a good one. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤘
i can only imagine that your game table is a work of art
Thank you 🙏
Cool idea and well executed! I'm curious if the dome could be reworked into a wall, where the inside facing part of the wall would wrap around the LEDs. If that makes sense. Like if you could fold the finished dome down around the LEDs you'd have a wall effect. I know you cant fold the finished dome but you could craft it with that in mind from the beginning. could make cool wall of fire, ice, or thorns effects. for the dome goes with the classic Prismatic Sphere! Easy to do just swap the static LEDs for color shifting ones. It fits well too because you aren't supposed to be able to see through the sphere. Great vid as always!
Awesome ideas Clay... thanks... and you know your spells !!
Beautiful piece, as always! Perhaps a short series with Wall of Fire and so forth?
Hope things are going better for you all.
Great suggestions... and thank you !
That doesn't really work for Shield of Faith, mainly because shield of faith tends to be great for dealing with melee and the size of the spell effect blocks that.
The dome, however, seems about the right size for a globe of invulnerability...
Ok, globe of invulnerability it is :)
Very cool idea
Thank you!
ooooooh my favorite fairy UFO
haha, thanks.
I have a Challenge for you with this project. Instead of making it a full bubble of it already being cast. Try to make it as if the magic is coming from a character and its in the process of being cast. Almost as if it was an umbrella holding up water. With the Whiffle ball i think itd be pretty easy to do since it has holes
Very cool idea for a diorama! Thanks.
Hmm... very good idea, but what about some energy like spells? Like lighting
Now you have me thinking! Thanks.
Realment és un efecte màgic! 🤩 Moltes gràcies pel video. Salutacions
Moltes gràcies! M'alegro que hagi gaudit del vídeo i gràcies per veure'l.
I have a tip but I don't have the skills I probably would have used a balloon instead of the ball that way I could have just popped it would be easier to remove everything
A balloon would have worked... might not have been perfectly round at this size but who knows. Cool idea.
Yogurt containers? Ah, I see you're a man of culture.
Nice work! 👍
lol... that I am.
Trop beau !
:)
Very cool
Thank you !
Love it, great work as always!
Thank you !!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I'd like to second that comment. Ass Watcher said it as succinctly as possible whilst still imparting true feeling. :)
Your dome could be a huge gelly Fish too 😂
Oh yeah, very cool idea !
Wicked cool
Thank you 🤘 !!
There is a similar trick to create chocolat shapes using balloons.
Yes, I think I've seen that on YT.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT the advantage is that you can create even more complex design and deflating the balloon, not risk breaking the cover
Fantastic idea using simple around the house objects! Would be great to see used as a spell of protection….especially when you take in the “OUTHOUSE OF DOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!” …..just sayin’. 😜
I was just talking about this last night haha...
Wait, all you needed that yogurt container for is to draw a circle? Or where else did you use it?
haha... I mixed my Sculptamold in it too :)
What if you don't have access to UV Resin?
Some great suggestions in the comments... take a read thought. You can buy some clear spheres at craft stores as well.
You got any tips on were to get any of the materials for anything cheaper ? My biggest problem is I'll see things like this and other terrain . The green stuff , the different type of mode podge and the different types of sculptermodles, foliage, crafting jewelry...exc and if I buy these at the craft store or hardware store to get the foam and tools im spending hundreds of dollars just to make things for cheap . I know it will be cheap in the long run but holy hell does it suck. Online seems cheap at first until you take into account the shipping price from each individual place because every store that has something you need at the cheapest price also has something else you need at the most expensive. So b4 you know it your paying 50$ in shipping fees
I hear you.... that's part of the great thing about this hobby, you can look for anything you have to make these work. Check your local dollar store for items that can replace the dome, like clear Christmas balls, or those toys that mice run around in. You can make your own sculptamold or texture paste as well. Watch my catacomb series for some ideas.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thank you man I really appreciate the help . Im new to all of this but im already addicted. Do they make a AA for this ? Like crafters anonymous or nerd rehab lol jk
@@DarkFire0421 You might be on to something haha.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT news breaking report . Scientists found out that inhaling the fumes from melted xps foam is more addictive then heroine . And in later news reports on overdoses from ava glue sky rocket tonight at 11 😆
Fun
:)
Do you happen to know how many LEDs were in the strip you used and what voltage/current they used?
30 LEDs.. sorry I don't know the voltage/current.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Thanks
You got 2 views from me. I clicked on the thumbnail and then started spreading filler into gaps on a base for a diorama I'm making and by the time I was done the video was over. I didn't see one bit the first go.
Haha, we’ll I appreciate rewatching it. Hopefully the diorama is turning out like you have imagined it!
A balloon would give a better finished sphere
I didn't use a balloon because it wouldn't be a perfect sphere like the ball was. Also supporting the balloon and working with the plastic wrap wouldn't have been as easy. The plus side to the balloon is that it would be easier to remove. A cool idea LJJumble!
Too big. Looks more like a resilient sphere.
