Hi there… I just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel and your creativity and inspiration. I just shared the link to your channel with a Facebook group that I follow and I am sure that many will love your videos as much as I am. 👌🏽😃
Awesome trick Garman. I think I like the tile grout version better but I've never used tile grout in this way before so I'll have to try it and see! Great video as always my friend!
Nice video as usual and it looks amazing! For realism point (it's fantasy and so this doesn't really matter) though it should be wattle (normally woven sticks) under the daub.
Genius. Simple but very effective. Have you ever used spackle (dry wall compound)? I like using it in similar fashion to grout. It is easier to use and quick drying but doesn't normally come in powder which is needed in some projects.
I’m working on some wall tiles from Matt’s build at the RP Archive channel. I was going to do some tavern-y looking walls at some point and this is a great addition to the build. Great video!
Hello Sir! May I suggest an alternative to Aileens tacky glue, Titebond has a quick and thick… or thick and quick that I love way more. Plus you get twice as much for the same price. Love the detail videos!
I would suggest one additional step if using the grout. Before you do the cracks, use a cheap sponge, and get it damp before going over the stucco/render with a gentle dabbing. One major thing that sticks out with the technique as shown is that you get a lot of tool marks that are massively out of scale, the sponge blends those more into the rest easily. Another option for the stucco/render that tends to work is the patching compound from the dollar tree. I've used it for this kind of thing with some slight modification, thinning it slightly with some acryllic ink (and water) and paint along with a small amount of sand to add a bit more texture to it before working it into the walls. Using some of the ink in it makes it blend in more if something happens and it chips to make it less visible.
I think I prefer the foam core version, the details on the actual tile grout are a bit too large for scale, though I might change my mind if there was a good way to get a much smoother finish to it.
The technical term for that exposed brick is "Cracked stucco in need of repair." ;) (Looks great, just not usually intended by the builder, I imagine.)
I am praying you only used the 1” foam for presentation purposes. When I first got into the hobby I made a house out of 1” XPS and it was just terrible. I was almost embarrassed to put it on the table 😅 1” is perfect for hills and blocks and substructures. Never again as the walls of a building 😂
Historically, European medieval buildings were whitewashed typically … but who says it must be so in our game worlds? I say have fun with the colors, architectures, and art styles. It's another world-why wouldn't it feel like one? Love how your sepia and tans and khakis made these walls look very old, worn, and perhaps not cared for in a very long time. That fits well with lots of plot hooks.

Nicely done. Enjoy your videos.
Enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Great-looking project and simple, Garmin! Nice!
I definitely prefer the foamcore look as opposed to the plaster, but both are cool. Keep up the great work.
This was a hell of a tip and I have to say I'm going to use it!

Brick or stone covered with stucco also existed and exists.
Great tip. The stucco does have a more realistic appearance, but I think I'll stick with the foam for ease of application.

Both look great, but I think I prefer the foam one over the tile grout.

I've been using caulk mixed with baking soda for my daub. So far it's been holding up with the local heat and humidity.
Really liked both. Did one take considerably longer? If not I guess it's just preference.
OK, that foam holds texture so well! Where do you get it?

In my experience the tile grout is a bit of a pain but I do think the look is worth it.
Watered down craft paint is a nice tip
How heavy is the grout on a typical building?

Where are those windows from?!!
