You are probably the only person that could ever put up an 18 minute long youtube tutorial for an epic build using nothing but leftover scraps just to proudly say it looks like shit at the end. It looks good my man, maybe a more white or grey base coat for the stonework to emulate limestone.
"XPF foam, a material that nobody bothers to Google" hilarious and accurate
So true.
Dude, it looks great. Don't be so hard on your self, you are the reason why I started building minis.
Thanks! I know it's not bad but I hyped myself too much while seeing it unpainted so I expected more :D
@@BardsCraft I agree with InnPea you are too hard on your self man, it looks great. Also, I love your humor it pretty much matches mine so I watch for that reason too. Keep up the great videos, I plan on starting up a crafting video series showing my techniques with recycled foam and I hope you will like it.
Damn right mate.
The shingles look like dragon scales🥰🤩 I really like the blue.
Yeah I knew they would look good :) a bit like the scales on the first blue dragon I made
Lol, I literally said the same thing. I LOVE it!!
Best GM crafting advice ever:
"Play D&D in candle-light so no one sees my mistakes" - Bard's Craft
That's a keeper alright.
I don't get why you think this doesn't look awesome. This is an incredible build!!!
Artists are thier own worst critics.
Cutting Sounds: check. Cutting with big kitchen knife: check. Cutting with sword: check. Dry brushing sounds: check. Messiness of build in the beginning: check. Final look of build awesome: check. Video uploaded in friday, thus saving our weekend: check. 😎
I know I’m two years late, but seriously have enjoyed watching your builds and practical usage of materials. A lot of my terrain has been modeled using your techniques and builds! Keep inspiring us with your creativity!!
Dude, I don't do wargaming, just plane models, but buildings and dioramas you're creating are just amazing!!! Congrats!!!
That blue roof is chef's kiss good.
If you can find push pins or small nails, you can use them to pin the cardboard together while it dries.
Great job! I'm happy you just "eye-balled it" because it looks more organic that way. Too many other crafters are often busy with exact measurements which makes the craft tedious instead of fun. 👍🏻
Everytime in the beginning it seems shit but then suddenly everything comes together into aaaamaaazing builds. Those shingles have such a nice tetro vibe
those shingles would look amazing in a dragon bones temple.
good result with simple material. that's why i prefer this channel over others that have gone crazy with magnets and resin stuff
have you tried a metal wire brush on the cardboard?
I shall take notes of the dragon bone temple, sounds like a cool project :)
I am doing shingles out of cardboard right now. Applying woodglue and dragging sharp tool through drying glue.
@@Carpetcleanerman Yes that also works! Good luck
That roof was sick! But like many others have pointed out, the rest of the build was really good as well! Many times we as creators are the worst critics and I hope that you can find some comfort in our unanimous hype with this building and the rest of your builds! Keep this stuff coming man! Eat more oats!
you are right that roof is beautiful
Your channel and NerdForge are the ones that got me into making dioramas and book nooks. Now, every box is a potential diorama or book nook. I didn't throw anything away hardly ever before, NOW, I just don't throw anything away. LOL
Dude - it looks great ! You failed at nothing ✨🧝🏿♂️🧝🏽♀️✨
I don't think you failed at all. It looks really good. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Literally one of the BEST channels out there. Showing us peasants how to build and craft without being fancy using tools that i never even heard of, a well respected boi that NEEDS more subs, it's a damn crime you don't have more subs and even more view's. Your videos are the only reason i am comfortable using a kitchen knife in stead of a utility knife ir wire cutter.
You are absolutely my favorite crafter on youtube!
Eye if the beholder. You see all the imperfections I just see an amazing build. Love the blue tiles and highlights. The gold really saved the brown edges I was not seeing it come together until the end.
I would suggest to try putty (for walls), white it is not dried yet, you can add some cool texture on it. Putty will make cardboard a lot harder and sturdier.
Plus, you can also add brick texture using brick template
Did you have fun building it? 'Cause I had fun watching it. If you call this a failure, keep them failures coming. The wonkiness of these builds just adds to the charm of wargames terrain. You are so subbed, mister!
I love the inspiration you bring to the crafting community, and the message that you don't need expensive stuff to create great buildings
That's the reason I like this channel so much. Not everyone can afford or even want to afford a proxon hot wire cutter. Sure they do a great job, but for that kind of money they better. I liked your way better: anyone can get the materials, and even more important anyone can cut your material.
Plus, you not only get a like, but this is my third or fourth post on this video alone. UA-cam loves comments.
Best of all you are not always begging for money. Thank you for such a great channel.
F0k0 I agree with you. If your goal is to create the most authentic looking buildings, maybe all of that expensive stuff and perfect measurements might help. If your goal is just to build cool looking props to add to the tabletop experience, this is a great way to go. This way looks like it's more fun to do, too.
Roof looks great! The overall build is pretty nice. I think color of walls should be either green, or orange yellow. I think green would look best tho. And maybe yellow gold dry brush on top.
Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your budget conscious builds!
No mistakes have been made here. Happy incidents i call them. In my book thats a fantastic build! And the shingle roof looks super cool. Thank you for uploading evem though you might be a bit unhappy about it. We are amazed and love it! Also: no oats were harmed during this build!
I love how much work you put into your crafts!
Also farm more watch time! I'm fine watching you craft more, especially when I finally get un-lazy and make my own terrain.
Oh I’d like to see you take this build further! I think it’s a great start!
That blue roof is gorgeous!
I love how this temple looks. And that it's all built from cardboard - I love that you use such simple easy to find things to make amazing terrain and creatures out of. I have hope that one day I can do some for myself (I have to get my work area to a stage I can use it for that as at the moment it is working as a support structure for piles of stuff I don't know where to store).
When you said you made a rushed project by observing yours it will help make me pay more attention to mine. The best lessons are mistakes. Awesome craft by the way
2:10 that cut lol. Love your work, and your editing!
Hello! I watch a lot of your videos and when you made the mention of not finding well priced glue-sticks I thought why don't I help with that with patreon. Hope to keep seeing more of your videos, cheers for the content so far! Would love if you snapped a few photos from your D&D campaigns to share on your website as well
The whole idea is amazing.
I wouldn't expect such a great construction with tiles, roof all from some pieces of cardboard.
The color shading of dragon scales is awesome :)
I think you did an amazing job!!! Don't ever say you did a bad job. You are trying and that's more than a lot of people. Your builds are always great and you think of using things that I never think of. Keep making all the things and I'll keep watching! Your videos always make me smile and think of more ideas. 😊👍
I know its stupid, but the sounds of your dry brushing gives me hope. That one day I will be able to take up the craft again and host my sessions after all this is over. During all this Im still working, and have zero time. Thanks for inspiring me and giving me something to look forward to.
I love the shingles they look like dragon scales too
Those shingles came out amazing. I never would have thought that the blue could work so well.
Roof shingles texture looks great
Watching as it comes together is enjoyable
Kitty's box is put in a good use!
Just found your channel. You are so inspirational. I've been making cardboard terrain for a while, so I'm used to rough builds, but, yours are so clean. Absolutely top notch, man!
The paint job on the roof shingles is great, and I think the gold trim goes really well with it. I can see what you mean about the colors on the walls coming out kind of flat, but I don’t think it looks nearly as bad as you think it is. One suggestion I’d make would be to paint those decorative elements on the walls a different color. They’re a cool shape so it would help them be more visible and distract from the color of the wall that you weren’t happy with. Overall though really good work!
You can use tooth picks or pins or skewers to help hold the sections together while drying.
You're too hard on yourself, buddy. This is great! For just using cardboard and oats packaging, this turned out wonderfully. It should be most excellent for a DnD game. I'm sure your friends appreciate the creativity that you bring to the tabletop. Thanks for sharing your tips, tricks, and techniques. Cheers, --Bo
I think it's pretty good, and a trick for the hot glue, keep a little water handy and wet your fingers so it doesn't stick and burn! Great vid!
Honestly it looks great
The shingles are the highlight of the build, they look awesome. I'll keep that in mind when I decide to make a dog house for my dog but with pieces of plywood instead of cardboard box. Thanks for the inspiration
I would really love a short video where you show us your favorite ways to prepare all these oats you eat. Edit: I'll share one of mine. I live in very hot area, so I like cold oats alot. I rinse raisins, then drain them ( i don't like getting grit in my raisins) then I put the oats, the raisins, a bit of apple sause, greek yogurt, milk and cinnamon in a sealable container shake it up and leave it in the fridge over night. In the morning I've got delicious cold oats.
That roof is epic.
looks amazing. As a crafter i can tell you we are the only ones who notice the mistakes. Looks great. I will start building my temple soon.
Another option is to stab toothpicks into the corrugated gaps inside of the cardboard to hold up panels while your glue dries. You can even leave them in for extra stability :-)
Oh, it looks great! I love your commentary, too, very droll and amusing.
If you see the starting materials at the begining and the outcome in the end, it went far beyond my expectations. its awesome. Good job.
First. Amazing building. But, more important, this Bard is looking more and more jacked.
Them hot shingles in your area, hell yeah!
I thought it came out amazing man, the roof is incredible! Nothing wrong with the wall color or texture in my opinion, all around sick build. Keep up the great work
Those roofs are gorgeous!
Perfect motivation for trying new stuff! Started doing some prototypes for more intricate windows in xps.
That roof looks really good
Omg dude.... That texture. Thank you so much.
Dude your building looks awesome and you have a great amount of spirit. Are there better crafters out there, maybe but you have more heart than anyone! Keep crafting and making videos because you are a one of a kind!
Fantastic build from essentially nothing! True elven craftwork. Dragonscales look amazing ...
I love your videos. You have a great sense of humor and make me laugh out loud. I agree with the prior commentor. Your building looks fantastic. I really liked your techniques and that you state what ideas you were happy with and what you would do differently. I had a thought about your decorative strips. Ir you covered them with painters tape you could peal it off after the texture and they woul be smooth. I think the parts that you thought were not quite right add to the realism. I think sometimes people get so caught up in perfection that they forget that real buildings are not perfect. Especially old buildings.
That roof is beautiful!
Dude that looks amazing. I wish i had 1/10th your talent.
I'm sorry that you're not happy with the outcome. I think it all looks very cool. As always, I'm impressed with your vision for turning card stock and cardboard into such cool structures and minis. So many people are just copying the same builds using the same exact foam, paints, and fancy cutter tools. You are making unique builds from your own imagination and basic supplies. That is praiseworthy, Bard buddy. Very well done.
Great work, man. I usually make up textured paint (with sand or sawdust), that way it saves you an extra step (I've got a video on it)
Don't worry too much about making little mistakes here & there....
Instead, cover them up with little added details/features (eg, glue on some haphazard coffee stirrers to look like there's been some makeshift repairs) by adding things like weathering, moss, bird's nests, vines, dirt, flock, tufts, etc..
Another brilliant video. Well done
Love your amazing use of cardboard and glue! Look forward to each new video! Eat your oats!
This is an awesome build. It looks great. Don’t be so hard on your self!
I love love LOVE the roof!! The blues make it almost look like dragon scales. ❤️
your other kitchen knife at 2:10 is very impressive
Love your videos. Keep em coming. I have a good laugh at all the brushing noises. It's great to see how your channel has evolved.
First, let me say that your work is fantastic, and the building looks great, so don't judge yourself too harshly. My only observation in the shingles is that maybe a green coloration or a green hue would have been better since elves tend to be more in tune with nature. The way you make the texture on the walls is very interesting and shows creativity. I like all the videos you have posted on this topic of building terrains and buildings, they are quite educational and informative. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, and for giving us tools that we can use to make our hobby more enjoyable.
Glad you like the videos!
That looks great from my point of view. We are always our worst critic. Love the elvish design with the pointy arches and tiles. I may try to build one of these, but I don't think mine will come out as good as yours. Thanks for the tutorial.
Fundamental learning about Elvish Architecture is no much curves required.....🤩😇
Ah, the traditional Nordic Crafting Sword :D
Another great project. Your techniques are really impressively simple.
Bud, watching your videos just fills me with joy. I enjoy them so much! I wish I could come play D&D with yall. Keep up the good work!!
Love how the roof turned out, especially with the paint! When you need straight lines of shingles like for this build you could try cutting rows of them to glue on as a strip. Guaranteed straight rows, plus it saves a bunch of time glueing
The roof STRONGLY reminds me of Warcraft, and that makes me happy!
dude this is great!
A really good terrain from trash, ive seen so much cool terrains that are supposed to be made from trash, but you will need tousands of specific stuff so it looks good, instead, you maek this out of garbage and its sooooo good looking.
Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the "lessons learned" part - this is great!
Man I wish we were going back into a lockdown. All I want to do is build terrariums and a cardboard city for toys in my kids play room. Awesome build brother.
We have built a few cardboard cities / castles, but you do it with style. I have Oct - March for the cardboard city (winters off is the best part of my job, But I have money coming in and wife makes bank, so no my children are not living in squalor.).
Edit- Love the idea of using cereal box cardboard for rooves. Smart.
Part of crafting is messing up, that's how you learn. Good job man.
I think the color combo worked out in the end, I wasn't sure about it at first, but it looks good.
This looks great! Nice work and thanks for sharing!
Amazing job!!! You’re already doing great but If you get some sewing pins you can push them through the cardboard while your glue dries or even just leave them in to add a bit of stability to your build? Just a thought 💭
Yesssss. A terain that I have the materials for!!!!
Again an awesome piece and I really like the blue!!! Thx
Amazing craftsmanship.
This is fantastic work, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! I love it that you try new things and throw caution to the wind. I learn something new from every video.
Thx for sharing your honest thoughts.
I am currently building a 2ft by 2ft playmobil castle for my daughter after being inspired by your vids.
This is another one. I am definately using that baking soda idea, jt covers really well.
Nice build. It looks great.
This roof is so gorgeous! I LOVE it ♡
I really like the paint job on the roof. Those colors look amazing.
That looks fantastic. You amaze me with your simple materials and epic builds. Great looking buildings built inexpensively. Keep up the good work!
That looks amazing!
