Lots of love went into this build....Fantastic work!
Thank you Scotty!
What type of foam is this built out of and where do I get it and how do I prepare it for this use? Can you link to a product or set of instructions on the very basic step of procuring the foam and preparing it to be used?
David Collette Hi David, the foam is XPS foam and can be found at home improvement stores like Home Depot it Lowes. Local stores might have it too. There really isn’t any need to prepare the foam other than removing the thin plastic film that is in both sides of it. It peels right off. When cutting it use a sharp blade as they dull quickly. Check out any of my videos to see me cutting it with a Proxxon hot wire cutter or knife. I’d recommend watching my dungeon tile video and starting there. Let me know if you have any questions along the way!
Tabletop WitchCRAFT would Foamular R-5 work for this?
David Collette Yep, that’s XPS.
People like you make me sick...
...of my laziness...
You are an artist and inspiration. I swear to Ulric - I'll try to build something like that!
RivarohaT Do it! I’m here to help you. Take it one step at a time and if you have questions just ask me! You got this.
This is the first time ive seen any of your videos; what an eye opener!
You have a new subscriber
S Hollis Thank you Hollis
I've have a proxxon for two years now. I have learned more in this 20 min video than the last two years combined! Thank you! Simply amazing!
Thank You Duvanok!! I'm happy to hear you found the video helpful.
I specially like the eyes inside the sewer! great built!!
It's all about the details! Thank you.
I am simply blown the hell away! Your presentation was magnificent!! Your attention to detail is unbelievable! I can't thank you enough for showing us how you built this beautiful miniature castle!!!
Thank you so much Manuel. I really appreciate that, and thank you for watching!
I have never seen that trick for bending foam and it is BRILLIANT!
Thank you Larry :)
Hey this is really incredible! I don’t play any table top games, but this reminds me of how I used to have these diy cardboard castles as a kid that I played with every day. They came with little knights and horses, and they were my favorite toys for years. This video brought back that feeling of warmth and nostalgia, and made me very very happy. Even as an adult, I love miniatures and I love to make sculptures. You are an inspiration and have helps reawaken that inner child within me!
Hi Brittany, this really means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing. Maybe it's time to pick up some foam and make what you imagined as a child :)
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Seriously? Lots of love and hard work went into this build. Fantastic!
Thank you David.
I have been trying to figure out how to add additions to my castle now I know how. Thanks, bro for this.
You got it Maurice !
Quick tip for the magnetizing: instead of using magnets both in the board and the underside of the piece you’re putting on top, just put a magnet in the board, and use small tacking nails or screws on the underside of the top piece. This way you only use half as many magnets, and the polarity isn’t a concern
That's a good idea Jack. Although this does work, it doesn't have as much power as two magnets. Still a great option to save some cash. Thanks for sharing.
Although I'm not a D&D or other board gamer, I like the video's on the various buildings you create for those who do. Perhaps you can tackle building Santa's north pole for the holidays or build the castle of Disneyland since both are in the fantasy realm of what you do? Good work
Thanks TommyG. I keep track of all requests... you never know :)
I don't get why every video on youtube of someone making something awesome out of nothing has some dislikes.
Great work man!
pewpewplunkett87 Thanks, comments like this make up for the dislikes :)
Fantastic build full of cool details and nice tips. Great work!
Thanks Eric!
Finally someone who gets the terrain brush size right!
It hurts my soul when I see people drybrushing walls with tiny little brushes.
Castle looks great. I especially loves those gremlins/imps/ratmen/fraggles/Goes-bump-at-night creatures living in the sewer!
10 yellow dots on black cardboard tells more story than the average gaming table! :-D
Thanks :) Yeah, I'm not messing around with under sized brushes that's for sure. Also, it's the tiny details like the eyes that I love adding to my builds. It get's players imaginations going and helps with immersion!
Absolutely criminal that this doesn't have more views - your work is amazing!
Thank you Holly :)
Fantastic build. All your prep work creating templates makes this an approachable build for others to attempt. Really love the details, too-- the gate/front door is AMAZING!!! The sewer grate is supercool, too.
Jordana Wells I’m happy to hear that Jordana. Thank you.
found your channel a few days ago. currently binge watching to catch up, but had to leave a comment on here, these builds are amazing! and the fact that you include the links for the templates adds a nice touch!
scorpionridge Thanks. Please drop comments on all my videos!! I love the feedback and thanks for watching!
sir you are next level that is astonishing you are a very talented person i love this build truly breath taking can not wait for your next build im glad that you have patron now i defo will be over there and adding you to my ever glowing list loll but really mate well crafted love every second of it
Thank you Michael. That really means a lot to me!! I have so many ideas I just can't pump them out fast enough haha.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT ha ha ha i know that feeling well what ever it is i can not wait
Well that was an absolute Master Class, I thoroughly enjoyed your work throughout. Well done indeed, I loved it.
Thanks :) I just posted my second Epic Build the Colosseum. If you have seen that one check it out!
Well, when I saw your Coliseum Build, I nearly pee’d my pants haha, it was Spectacular. ❤️
@@subascosauce8288 :) Thank you. Another Epic build on the horizon...
So many great techniques! Thanks for sharing. I love the tiny jail cell under the stairs.
Such an amazing piece! It looks like so much fun to play around on. Fantastic montage at the end!
@@NakedBatBoy Thanks John, the jail cell was fun to make, and I have to admit, I've watched the montage a time or two :)
Found your channel through DTRPG. Amazing build. I'd get cracking on this today, but I made the foolish mistake of getting married many years ago, and being Valentine's day, it will have to wait until tomorrow.
Thanks, I hear ya. Make the other half happy too!
Absolutely incredible! Love the modular aspect too, use just the first floor, get rid of stairs, put a windmill on top whatever. The way you “big picture” so that the build isn’t just used for just one encounter in a single campaign is what makes it all so cool to watch never mind play. Great stuff.
Jon Chivilo Thanks Jon, I’m assuming you saw my windmill build as well? I like that idea.
Freaking amazing build. Love the trick to curve walls without breaking. 10/10 as usual. Keep it up!
Thank you Will !
Agreed! Game changer in my terrain arsenal!
Wow, that detail work! I found this channel by pure chance and I'm glad I did. I love your work! I'm inspired!
Thank you so much Nasia! I’m happy to hear it has inspired you and welcome to the channel :)
Man i wish i was as talented as u bro
Thank you David. Go for it, any questions along the way just ask !
Not to take away from your epic build, but shout out to the Lone Wolf book series on the shelf behind you!
Anytime, I’m collecting the new definitive editions now. Bringing back all kids of memories!
The fact that you replied to EVERY single comment is outstanding! You did a wonderful job. I would love to make this project, but i need 1/2 the size in scale. Is it possible to scale this project down or do you have projects similar to this that are smaller in scale? Thank you for your time
Hi Monica, I really enjoy interacting with all of the subscribers :) As far as scaling this down, if you take the file to any print shop this could easily be done by them. No reason you can't tackle this castle (haha) at the scale you want! Most of my projects are at the same scale so they match up with my Medieval village I'm working on.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT perfect ! Thank you so much for your response
The details and extras make this castle awesome! Impressive design and builds. Can’t wait to pick up the plans and build this. Need to build the other pieces first. Thank you for a great video!
I love the details as well, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.... and Thank you for your support!
Tabletop WitchCRAFT your welcome. I am planning a one shot for my group and will use this build and the graveyards build.
MIScooter Awesome!
gonna use this as inspiration for building my brothers twin boys a castle it looks amazing
bas van der werff Right on!!
It's awesome on the outside, just watched your Victorian Haunted House, as well. I just would like to see some room division in the floor plan when each floor is removed, maybe an interior wall or two to divide living spaces, work spaces, sleeping spaces. It would make them all more interesting as a player and your viewers. They would be attached to the floor plan and would be separate from the exterior walls that would come down around them.
You got that under control Randy! I did a floor plan for my Tavern build. I'll keep this in mind for the future! Thanks.
Wow, that's quite the undertaking. Great job
Thank you Harriet :)
Awesome work, though more of a keep than a full castle...you still need curtain walls for the full castle
Thank you. I’ll have to look into that.
THIS BUILD IS F$%^&*G AWESOME, if/ when i start crafting i would want to make something like this.
Thank you 💪🤙
I'm working on something like this using large cardboard tubes and xpf for blocks so they can stack and come apart!
Robert Lee Awesome
Looks amazing. I would've liked to see how you made the doorknobs, and other door hardware, and also how you made the scroll... but it was still an awesome video, with some amazing work 👍
Thank you ... and you can see how I made the door knob and the scroll. I have separate videos for each of those items. Check out the playlist labeled: Small Projects for Every Table, then the video "Green Stuff Sculpting Ideas for Leftover Putty" and "Miniature Scrolls Download FREE for D&D".
Amazing i really want to try this but cant find the plans ? Keep up the great work dude you are now my favourite youtuber
Thank you Brady! Check the video description. I have a link to DriveThruRPG.com where you can download them.
This is what I was looking for. This will be a great project to tackle, Thank you so much for the templates. Great design. I subbed for sure.
InnPea Sea Awesome. Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Holy Crap! Why have I not seen your stuff before!?!??! Great work
Luke Hopkin Thank you Luke! Spread the word :)
Pretty epic, dude. You should be proud. I would be. Thanks for sharing such a helpful video for crafting an amazing castle from XPS. I'll try this one day soon.
Excellent, let me know if you have any questions... and thank you.
Man, that thing is awesome! It looks like I need to run and get more XPS now I don't have enough!!
Thanks Matthew. Yeah, I just found a 2'x8' by 2" thick sheet at the house. Jackpot.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Lucky you, thickest I can find is 1.5! so if I hit the contractor tier do you get this PDF?
@@matthewprince6157 Yes you would get the plans for the castle!
FanDamnTastic...masterful work. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. Can't believe I'm just now discovering your channel as much as I've been on UA-cam for terrain, painting, and D&D. New sub..
Thank you! Just in time, next week is EPIC build 4 on the channel.
I can't believe this, it is gorgeous, a masterpiece!!!! Fantastic!!! Instant sub+like. I love how you can move parts and create new castles and different experiences, respect!
Akariyuli Thanks so much, and thank you for the subscribe!
Love your content, actually found you through Encounter Terrain, that dude needs so much more love.
Thank you and yes 100 %. Jo is an amazing crafter and friend !!!
WOW, what an epic tutorial vid!
Love the realistic details in the stonework 😇
the music is realy great as well, especially that majestic metal track at the very end!!!
Thank you Stian!! I’m happy you enjoyed the video :). All my EPIC builds have a cool montage at the end !
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Great feature! I'm curious who made that metal-track ? where is that from? 😎
@@stianthijsen4784 I get all my music from Epidemic Sound. The track is called: I Am Unbreakable by Niklas Johansson
Omg this dude is an absolute legend
Titus Stevens Thank you Titus 🤘
Now THAT'S some beautiful work sir!
VidovicArts Thank you.
Holy hell, first video of yours I've seen and I subbed the second I saw that castle. Amazing work and I'm looking forward to more from you in the future
Indestructoboy Awesome! Thanks, plenty more to come.
WOW 😲 what an amazing masterpiece! You are so insanely talented! Props to you dude! 🙌🏻👍🏻😎 I love this 😃💚

Jason Raper Thank you Jason. Good eye on the LW books. A lot of my inspiration comes from these. I’m glad you found the channel.
Holy Witchballs, that is incredible!

DavidMelissaNope Thank you David
Love all your makes - amazing work. Thanks for all the tips and ideas!
Amie Nash You got it! Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!
Thank you…. It’s about to get bigger :)
Holy socks this is a fantastic build!
Thanks Karl !!
You make it look so easy. I know if I attempted this it would look just abysmal xD
Just take your time, don't rush, and remember to have fun. Take it step by step. I bet you could do it :)
Я думаю, стоит сделать высокое основание с подземным этажом этого замка внутри. Ведь замки в основном на возвышенностях.
Это хорошая идея. У меня есть планы на что-то подобное в будущем. Спасибо за просмотр.
Thank you . I'll look for prints place
Sure thing. Thank you.
hey man your crafts are good i made the crypt thank i am going to make this to
Timothy Garrison Thank you. Go for it!
I see what you were meaning with in the Dome Cutter review about how this style of dome gives a noticeable difference in material and texture. Being as i wouldnt be able to afford the dome cutter im curious if you think layering it with some sculptamold and then sanding it would give it a more uniform texture?
You could try the sculpt a mold, but I would recommend using DAS air dry clay. You could place the exact stone pattern in that and would match almost identical to the rest of the build. Another good idea Cloud.
Nice work! What you are calling the parapet is actually called crenellations.
Thank you !!
Great content, epic castle, this is exactly what i want on my gaming table!
Thank you 🤘
Bloody hell that is epic
Right on John!! Thanks.
Dude... I... what... this is just amazing! My mouth kept falling open. You deserve WAY more subs! Insta subbed, liked and shared!
Vincent Van Camp Thank you Vincent! Just in time... I have a video coming out in a few weeks that is just as big and Epic as this castle!!

I propose a challenge to you TTWC......Think you can made a scale foam model of Castle Ravenloft?
Oh boy... I do like a challenge. I'll keep that one in mind. I have quite a few things planned at the moment.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Just let us know when you're going to do it......
Perfect! Congratulations! Love it!
Aparecida Donizetti Souza Pinheiro Thank you :)
Thanks. Great work on the build & vid.
Thank you Janet.
Man this is amazing, well done!
Thank you Divine :)
First of all AMAZING work!!!!! Question: I don't see where I can get the texture tools for the wall. Can you help.... thanks and again nice build!!
Hi G Cogs, I have a video on how to make them. Check it out. If you don't want to make one, Shifting Lands.com sells them. Here's a link to my video: ua-cam.com/video/mJS5JjTP1P4/v-deo.html
Fantastic and badass.
Thank you !!!!
Muito maravilhoso! Muito gente você! Arte Parabéns!
leandro nando Muito obrigado
Gorgeous !! 🙌💯
Cookie Kunty Thank you 🤙
At first I was puzzled, but then I realized that you are American and have probably never seen a real castle.
But on the whole, I like your work.
Another awesome video! Stupid question time: Where on DriveThruRPG do you find the plans you use? You’ve inspired me and I want to try your method rather than doing the drawings myself.
Marty Lybbert Thanks Marty. I upload my plans to DriveThruRPG and the link to them can be found in the video description.
17 people are annoyed at the lack of MACHICOLATIOOOOOOOONS.
Not me, I think this video is great.
Sam Sowden García Good one, maybe you’re right. Thanks :)
That was insane. Amazing job!
Thanks Alessio!
In a word... EPIC!
Jacob Hope Thanks Jacob
Oh man that looks awesome! Cant wait to build one and play Curse of Straad inside it!
BTW: Did u ever heard about Zombicide The Black Plague/Green Horde? How about building some of their scenarys 🤔
Reinaldo Rodrigues Thanks! I have heard of Zombicide, but haven’t played it. I think I have something tho for you coming out in the near future......
Outstanding! Absolutely inspiring
Robert Evans Thank you Robert! Next week’s video is going to be just as EPIC as this castle. I hope you check it out!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT you make it I will watch it. I really appreciate the fact that most, if not all, of your crafts are playable. I too try and make that happen for my peeps
Robert Evans Right on!!
Why arent you working for Dwarven Forge or curing Cancer?! serously thank you for this tutorial. my Proxxan will be here in 3 weeks and this is the 1st build im doing! My D&D youth group thanks you subbed and added your vids to my favs.
Thank you so much Vargar! I really appreciate the kind words... you definitely put a smile on my face with that one! Any questions on the build don't hesitate to ask.
Wow, man. This is amazing work!

Truly a masterpice!!!! what music did you use for the montage?
Thank you... I don't have that song in my library anymore. I get my music from EpidemicSound. If I find it I'll get back to you.
everything is amazing!
do you have a link for the brick design roller you used to impress the foam?
Thank you :). I actually have a video on the channel on how to make them. If you want to buy one you can find them at ShiftingLands.
