It launches early today. Pick your self up a set of two of these crazy cool dice!
OK after the massive diorama castle project, I figured it was time to see what I can do in a limited amount of time. Were we able to pull off this as a one day build? I'm seeing some more time limited builds in the future. This was a lot of fun.
Link to the build that inspired this one: gardensofhecate.blogspot.com/2... Gorgeous!
Thanks everyone for helping me get to 100K subscribers. Unreal!!

I think you are slow because you are incredibly detail oriented and a perfectionist. You also tend to use materials that look so much more realistic but take longer. This is NOT a bad thing. Your work is top notch quality and stands out above most of what you see elsewhere. Sometimes you want a quick and imperfect build, sometimes you want something that just wow's people. Your style is the WOW. Don't beat yourself up over it. We love seeing the high quality. There is no reason you need to crank out lots of videos doing lots of builds. That appeals to some people. But multiple videos of a single high quality build is also awesome. Be a Maverick, you don't have to copy everyone else.
Hey thanks Aaron, I’m glad you think that way. Appreciate the kind words man. I’ll keep on doing what I love doing.👍
@@RealTerrainHobbies yeah, I watch a lot of crafters online and you definitely have a unique flare. I think it's great and I think he should keep it up!
This guy's a pro bono
There is a trick to using fur for thatching! Mix PVA glue and water (about 50/50) and some medium brown acrylic paint. Just enough to tint the wash.
Paint thia wash onto the thatching until the fibers start sticking together. Once they do, take an old fork and starting toward the bottom of the roof, "comb" the fibers. This simulates the bundles of thatching used on roofs like this. Do this in 1" to 1.5" rows all the way to the peak.
After it dries, drybrush it with a lighter straw color. Then using a little more watered down PVA, apply some fine green flocking to the low points or dips in the roof (where water would naturally channel).
It's a pretty quick process. The longest part is waiting for the fur to dry!
that sounds great. I've seen people use old towels too. Doesn't matter what color fur you get if you paint it.
@@recoveringsoul755 Exactly!
I think this look real good for one day.👍🏼👍🏼
I think the roof needs to be stiffened up a bit? looks too soft to be thatch imo. could use watered down pva glue then comb it so it somewhat clumps together and dreis that way. idk i'd try some stuff out on test pieces. It has potential!
Yeah I would have done more and tried other things if it wasn’t a 1 day build. I’ll give that a try on a test piece and see how it turns out.👍
@@RealTerrainHobbies Best thing I can suggest is just a little bit of watered down wood or PVA glue brushed/combed through the fur. It's typically what's suggested with the thatching material from kits from the likes of 4ground.
@@Danthar thanks man I’ll give it a shot! Maybe I’ll try it and post some shots in Instagram.🙂
@@RealTerrainHobbies could you give us a link to your Instagram?
I was thinking either watered down pva or even apply some hair lacquer and then brushed with that fine brush?
i like the effect on the roof. reminds me of grass covered crofts in Scotland and also viking houses in Iceland.
What did you guys think of this video format? Thought I'd try something a bit different just for this one. I kind of like it for something different anyway.
And go grab some sweet dice from Easy Roller on their Kickstarter! www.easyrollerdice.com/RTH
My fav part is the door , roof I think can apply some dilutes glue and a bit brown or darker shade will look less fuzzy. I really love your work inspires a lot .
Thanks again for sharing your craft with us. As always Fantastic. 👍👍
I'm looking for miniature thatched houses since a couple of years since I just love all the different ideas. Fur never crossed my mind, but although there surely are more "accurate" ways to build them, the fur adds a beautiful bit of coziness to it! Making this style one of my favorites
Hey thanks so much! Many weren't a fan so put a smile on my face to read this :)
I love this channel it is so inspiring to younger creators to try and make the same things you do your projects are outstanding
Thanks man.🙂
outstanding move
Congrats on hitting 100k!! That is incredible and well deserved. You have one of the BEST channels on the planet! We appreciate the hard work you put into our launch video and our campaign would not have the same look and feel without you!
Heeeey thanks so much guys! You guys are the best. I must say you have been/are an absolute pleasure to work with.🙂 GL on the KS!!
That turned out great! I would have saturated the fur with diluted glue and comb it through, so it wouldn't look quite so fluffy. But it still looks great as is!
If you use the fine comb on the roof and follow it up with some hairspray it'll firm it up without doing anything truly irreversible.
Awesome build, great video and the ASMR style you've working into this one was really good and fitted in well. Super work :-D
Floof roof! 😄 I love the house!
I just became a subscriber of yours 2 days ago. I just turned 53 in December. So you are inspiring to older viewers as well. Your examples and explanations are precise and understandable. I started a building 2 years ago that was going to just be like a night light. Now its a farm lol. Thank you so much.
The roof is interesting. Thatch tends to be pretty tidy, this looks more like a roof that was ignored for 50 years and has now become covered in grass. Or perhaps it's like one of those living roofs that are popular today.
That thatched roof is super sick with it.
Fur is way cool looking! Nice job!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Mel Gibson? Good work man love to watch this kind of stuff
pro tip! Use coconut fibers that get used for hanging baskets! Gives a better feeling of a thatching effect!
I actually like the ASMR format (no idea why), I find it quite relaxing to watch. Plus as usual, also picked up some great tips from you Neal. Thanks for the video mate, hope others also like your new format.
Its not "Neal", its *"Neil"*.
I think it counts as one day. You did a great job.
I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Not being able to craft right now, I’m super grateful I can at least watch, learn and plan for the future. Thanks for putting this up!
New sub cause you're Canadian and it's fun to watch the things you make
This series is the best to have on as you’re falling asleep. Perfect sleep videos.
This came out so much cooler than my farmhouse! And a much easier thatched roof. Great build!
Camera work and editing were on point 👌
Fun build, the fur for thatch is creative. Seamstress hint if you try that technique again - using a larger piece of fur and rip it into pieces. It hides the backing fabric and allows the long fur to hang freely on edge.
Hey great tip. Thanks Linda!🙂
If you score the back of the fabric with a knife before ripping, you get better precision and an easier tear, IME. I also prefer a less-blond and more gray fur, since thatch quickly weathers to that color. (To be fair, the color temperature settings on the various cameras are quite different. In some shots, the fur color looks much better than in others.)
This kind of costume fur can also be used to represent crops if you make it mostly stand up. Golden yellow fur is good for this, since getting fur in the right color of green for spring crops is harder. It's often useful to border the "field" with hedgerows or fences and use a base (I like MDF) when using fur for fields.
Keep doing what you do. Your attention to detail- especially the landscaping. I'm brand new to all of this and truly enjoy your work.
We absolutely love you videos! We just can’t get over the skill you have!! We always wait for a few vids to build up then binge them in an evening! LOVE IT!!! Never stop doing what you’re doing 😊
What a great idea for a roof. I checked the reference you used and I saw he soaked the fur with water and PVA. I think this is why that looks more realistic. The color of that fur is also closer to the real thing. For a 1-day build though, this is stellar work.
Finally, congrats for the 100K subs. You deserve it.
Thanks man. Yeah I think I’ll try the PVA thing and maybe post an update on Instagram 🙂
Great video new to the channel. And maybe some gnomes found a wolf skull and made a house out of it that's how real it looks. Awesome
love this turotial
I've always adored the look of these old houses. And this one looks amazing!
So this is what Mel Gibson does with his spare time. Love it, you got my sub.
Congrats on the 100k hallmark, Neil. Well deserved. That's some lovely little farm house!
I could watch this for hours
It’s amazing
Congrats on 100k. You do great work.
I love this project and think I might try to build something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the thatch!!! Looks awesome
Those Micheal Bay camera swoops are so inspiring!
The roof looks like the old rug at my great uncle's apartment complex
Lol
Another amazing build man, thanks for keeping up inspired
Midnight?!? Ya big weenie! Some of my best stuff come from sessions lasting until the wee hours of the morning. Really beautiful work man. Just beautiful!
Thank you SO MUCH for making a miniature farmhouse with a thatch roof instead of anachronistic tile or shingle roofs. I tried making one during the pandemic lockdowns by cutting bunches of straw off an old broom but it just didn't look right and then I ran out of straw.
This channel deserves not 100 000 subscriptions, but somewhere around 1 000 000 or 10 000 000
Thanks to this guy and the other Diorama makers, one of my Anime figurines base is way more cooler and realistic 😄
It's nice work as usual. Also there is very unique and interesting texture in
fluffy roof. I always enjoy your video. Thank you !!!
Killer builds! That castle flyover reminds me of when feature films used actual models.
Super video ! Tips and techniques. I need some OLD structures for my 1800's HO Train layout, PERFECT ! Thank You !
Fantastic build. Even more so considering the time restraint. Also congratulations for reaching 100k subscribers. It certainly is well deserved.
Thanks for the awesome video, congratulations on 100k subscribers!
Technically she was built in under 24 hours so it’s still a one day build
A replica of your 100K subscriber plaque in weathered wood and stone, lol. Good build. Congrats!
Wonderful video, and natural sound is really a good thing. It can be cinematographic, as it is in Alain Cavalier's films in a way. And it's feelings, reality ! Thanks.
Great content Dude!! Thank you for the inspiration and learning opportunities. You’ve definitely earned 100K subscribers and so much more!!!!
oh my goodness....sponsor!!! You are so hardworking and incredible!!!! I am so happy and proud! I've been out of the loop. I love the video editing!
Thanks Michelle!!! :)
Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers. The house turned out great and the idea with the roof is very good. Thank you. Greetings Tino
Thanks Tino 🙂
Congrats on 100k - you rock!
Wow that was amazing.
love it. Looks sweet
Thought I'd pitch in on the general roof comments! Think you certainly had the right idea, my thoughts would have been to make the strips narrower to have 3 or even 4 to each side of the roof structure (Sod roofing would be laid in rows etc) Also could try a larger toothed comb and as you drag it down- try spraying with hairspray to fix it into position (it IS hair after all lol!). It would have the effect of slightly clumping the strands together to give the appearance of thatch. To finish up I'd give the edges a very sharp trim, which would give the appearance of layers to the thatch which we see here in the UK still. As for colour, you can certainly use varied browns- even some greys to show extreme aging, but also don't forget that thatch can also gather moss as well...
I love watching your videos..you inspire me every time I watch. I loved the fur for the thatch..thought it looked very realistic and also think some glue will help it be a bit more clumpy...very nice color and texture. I love the format as well and could listen to you build all day..(and have wink wink). I am also in love with your work space. I am constantly looking for more space in my house...and wish I had a basement. Keep up the good work..I love it!
Nice job Neil! Looks great!
Thanks Ross!🙂👋
That building looks great! I was sold on the fur as soon as you put it on, kinda laughed in frustration when you where doubting yourself. “Come on! It looks great Neil!”
Lol thanks Dave!😁
I love what you do im starting for the first time tomorrow 😊
Amazing cant wait for more, top man.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Your work is outstanding. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
Love it!! One thing I do to stiffen up and add some variation to the thatch color is use my airbrush with some thin downed paint or ink and spray it into the hair and then comb it through a bit after it's all wet with a bit of paint and it seems to work great! Love this video!!
Congrats on 100K subs. Great build
Great build. The fur looks good for thatch, cool idea. Yeah, could've finished in one day if you'd started earlier. I'm liking the detail of your boards and plaster work.
Just discovered your channel. Your videos look amazing! I have a lot to watch. I know it’s cheesy but my wife and I love that crappy lemax spooky town (Halloween village) stuff. I’ve always wanted to make some cool dioramas for it.
I have this crappy jute cord/rope I use as thatch. It easily unravels on itself so I just unravel it and glue it down in bunches. The color is already perfect and the texture is perfectly imperfect.
Great job Good Very Talented 😀🏠
Love this style of video
Congrats to 100K!
Thanks!!!🤗
Nice work! Once again, nailed it! Keep up this great work, and loving the new style, but it can be quiet sometimes, so maybe throw in some music here and there to fill in the audio gaps, otherwise, keep up the amazing work!
Yeah, it was just an experiment for this video only. Not planning to completely change things up. More of a 100k thing 🙂. Thanks man!
Congratulations on the subscribers and you do awesome videos. Thanks for all the videos
The channel that just keeps on giving! Thank you for the inspiration Neil and congratulations on 100k! Next stop... wold domination!
Making a farm house is like a right of passage in the crafting community
The best thing I found for doing a thatch roof is taking gardening twine and wrapping it around a strip of cardboard then run 2 beeds of hot glue on one edge. Then to remove cut the other edge to release from the cardboard. You can use the same technique for round roofs as well. The only difference is that you need to cut the cardboard into a ring. Do your gluing on the inside part of the ring. And the cutting on the outside of the ring. After removed from the cardboard comb it out and add black or dark brown. I hope this helps out in the future.
I'll check those dice out, they look really cool , thanks.
Might the fur 'read' better as thatch if you thinned out some white glue (Elmer's) and brushed it in? The fur hairs would stick together more (not be fuzzy) and thicken. Brush it downward... and maybe even put some moss in the mixture (because thatch rots)?
Love your work! Very soothing....
(I should read the comments first. Lots of similar suggestions.) :P
Nicely done
well ... i never experienced asmr until now and i must say its nice.
Love the roof, looks great and gratz on 100k subs, well done =)
Very cool!!
With what you do and the quality of your videos you deserve even more subs!
Thanks Karina🙂
For whimsical fantasy, the roof works really well I think. The front door is my favorite item tho. It all came out pretty nice.
Neil, I found that if you dry brush another layer of wood stain on the white dry brush, it gives it a very natural worn effect. Try it out!
Awesome mate well deserved 🍻🍻👍🏻
The Reese’s product placement. 😂
WTG 100k subscribers.
Perfect detailing leading to great naturality. Love your creations bro. Abit unhappy with the roof. Feels too soft n fluffy. But the idea of using that cap/hat whatever for a thatch roof is good.
Amazing, congrats, muito bom, parabens.
congratulations for 100k subs, and amazing only one day you build that, perfect buddy
Thanks man! Hadn’t seen your channel before. You have yourself a new sub!
@@RealTerrainHobbies thank you so much, i really appreciate it
I missed the medieval music in this one, but I liked your videos and I respect your beautiful work. Greetings from Croatia, home of Tabletop World.
I think I was one of the first 100 subs. Congrats on hitting 100k subs.
Not trying to bash you or this project as I love the work you do. But...
Not a fan of the broken down farmhouse/cottage that seems to be all the craze at the moment. And the fur roof just doesn't look right. No matter what is done to it it still looks like fur to me.
I prefer using jute twine and cut it into small pieces unravel it soak it in black tee or instant coffee for an hour or two and let dry completely. Then I lay a strip of tape down and press the fibers onto it and you have ready to use strips of thatch for a roof. Or if you want the nice thick thatched roof, and you know how to use a sewing machine you can use strips of fabric as a backing. Lay a thick layer of fibers on the fabric leaving a little fabric showing at the top of the fibers and fold it over the top of the fibers and sew through both layers of fabric and the fibers and that will hold them in place. If you want an extra strong hold use some modpog or similar glue on the fabric lay a layer of fibers on the glue let dry add some more glue to the top end of the fibers and lay more fibers on top of that till you get the desired thickness. Then fold over the fabric and sew it together. You can make yards and yards of ready to use thatch roofing for future projects this way. You can even wind it on an old fishing line bobbin or similar and store it for later use. This looks much better then fur, in my opinion.
I would try brushing the roof with some watered down pva glue so it's not so fluffy. Love the build!
Wow, i think i'd take at least a week to get to that level, also working from noon till twelve.. really impressive
