Helpful Tips:
-If your webbing starts to droop from the weight of liquitex, place something underneath of it to hold it up as it dries.
-If the webbing dries drooping cut a piece of it off at the corner and stretch it until taunt then reglue.
-IF your webbing is still droopy you can hide thin sticks painted white under the web and apply extra web over these sticks.

wow I can't believe someone else thought of this , to make mine hard and playable I used spray on yacht varnish. it made it solid enough to put a huge spider mini on it
Great video again Dillon! I even ordered some Halloween webbing off Amazon to get my version going.
Awesome! Post your results up on the facebook page if you get a chance, I would love to see how it turns out :) Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the shout out! Also, AMAZING video! My DM is going to flip over this. (He loves practical terrain and spiders ^^)
Any time Mia! Love your stuff :) Let me know if your DM decides to craft any of these webs, I love seeing other people craft using my tutorials :)
Awesome video, and thanks for the EC3D shoutout!
Thanks man! And no problem, absolutely love your sculpts and looking forward to the Depths of Savage Atoll Kickstarter!
Awesome... webbing looks great but more importantly.. the playability is priceless.. well done
Plot twist the spider is his real voice
I've been hiding it for so long....
This is really great. Very helpful! Can’t wait to build.
Great work on these pieces. I've only recently started painting miniatures and have wanted to make terrain for a while, but it's too intimidating. You really make this look easy. I hope your channel gets big so you can make more videos.
Thanks Dustin :) Here's hoping! Trying to get as much content out as I can!
Don't be intimidated heck terrain is cheap compared to minis. Cardboard and foam paper popsicle sticks straws toothpicks skewers are cheap to practice with.
This tutorial is full of great tips! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Found you via DM Scotty, awesome stuff! Great fun and brilliant tips. You have persuaded me to shell out for the liquitex
It is really great stuff, I used it for my ice scatter, bone golem, webs, and I use it to create shallow water effects too
Glad to see you uploading again!
Thanks man! Trying to be faster about it, the Crafter's Guide to everything took a lot out of me and then I was on vacation and building my big DND table so didn't have time to wrap this up as fast as I wanted to,
YES! Thank you for this! I can do this for my spiderman diorama
Idk how the terrain in the last moments of the video worked out for you, but you might be able to hide supports in the web. Probably could use wooden Dow rods as they are light weight and strong and best of all, cheap. Wrap the gossamer around it and the Dow will be unassuming.
It ended up working out but yeah I hid some thin metal rods in the webbing to support it. Some of the larger webs start to droop so I put stuff under them while they dried or pulled and re-cut them to get them to work.
Scotty sent me over very nice build and the spider character was pretty funny. Liked and subbed.
Thanks! I have been considering having that spider make a reappearance... we shall see...
@@CriticalCrafting I think that's a great idea. I liked his Peter Lorre voice.
Got to "... Your folly amuses me..." and immediately Liked this! LOL
Glad you enjoyed it! I was worried people wouldn't like my spider friend
Nice video! You could also use an air gun and some contact cement, then sprinkle some chalk dust on it, however it wont support weights, this is the best tutorial for this so far :D
THANKS!
Some of the best terrain I've seen. Love the texturing ideas, paint scheme and the webs. One criticism: I thought the spider overacted a tad. :)
hahahah yes, the spider is rather excitable lol thanks for the kind words :)
Really clever with the designs here. Love it. I plan to make some web terrain soon!
Let me know how it goes and share it on the facebook page!
Tried to make webs one time by spraying acetone onto polystyrene. Proved to be far to brittle. Looked really good, but you could blow on it and tear it. Thought about using it as texture if I could layer it under a clear epoxy, but never went through with the plan.
Should of tried covering with mod podge once that stuff dries its damn near indestructible.
Lots of great info crammed in!...nice work
Thanks! I try and get as much content into each video as possible, and throw in some humor cause well.. that’s just how I am ;)
@@CriticalCrafting Loved it!
this channel is very underrated
Awesome spider terrain.
Thank you so much, just what I was looking for for my castle miniature project. Also love your humor! Gaming looks like a lot of fun. I'll check in on the folks you recommend.
Thanks so much!
And DANG are those some good-looking webs
Still love this video so much
Is the cardboard sturdy enough to use as a base? I love what you did here. Recently I have been having an issue with my bases warping slightly.
Depends what you are using it as a base for, it definitely warps a bit as it is drying but I just bend mine back into shape until it obeys.
Critical Crafting 😂🤣
Might be able to use a heat gun or even a hair dryer the soften it for shaping.
Instant like for the cute spider plushie friend. xD
Haha thanks! I have been meaning to use my plushie friend in some more videos....
Oh yeah! I am definitely doing this!!!
Very nice video and very entertaining.
Great video and channel! Subscribed
Thanks DM DUncan :)
You've got to be the messiest painter I've ever watched, but your stuff is golden. Thanks for the tips!
Lol thanks Cody, yeah my hands are ALWAYS covered in paint... I wear an apron cause some how I end up with paint on my clothes... and in my hair.... and all over the living room
@@CriticalCrafting Have you tried using gloves when you paint or at least on the one hand? Or maybe try having the work on some type of holder?
@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz I normally put minis on a holder and I have gloves but honestly when I paint with gloves I can't feel the wet paint on them and end up applying paint to areas on accident by brushing the piece with my hands. It's messy work, but honestly I enjoy the paint on my hands :)
This would be nice for my drow n drider. Put a cool throne somewhere in there for Lolth. (Lolaltho she may not be able to sit in it). Saw an awsome drow female on a throne miniature that’d be perfect
I love the friendly neighborhood crafting spider
love this!
Glad you like it! I feel my neighborhood crafting spider needs to make a reappearance.
Nice got me laughing here and there full view plus 1 like 😁
Glad to hear I got some laughs in :) Thanks for the watch !
Thanks buddy
I think I use that for my marvel legends Spider-Man and spider verse venom venom verse
nice!! subscribed!!!
The spider is awesome, pls reuse him or try another tutorial with another creature.
HAhaha so glad you liked him, I was a bit leery of doing that kinda comedy but I think it came off well. I'll see if there is another video the spider fits into coming up...
Finally!
Oh man don't I know it! I am trying to get the topiary video out soon so there isn't so long of a wait, vacation plus building my DND table cut into my video time a lot the past 2 months!
Where can you get the thicker foam? I haven't been able to locate anything thicker than 1". Good Video, def got to make one now.
I usually find mine in dumpsters at construction sites BUT most hardware stores like lowes and home depot often carry the thicker stuff too in large sheets.
If I use a glossy mod podge would that work for the webs? This project looks really awesome and I am going to give it a shot.
Yeah it should work, it might take additional layering but I don't see any reason why not
Is there a certain foam board to purchase online or just go to local home depot? Ordering all items via your links
thanks I really appreciate that! I just use construction insulation foam (the pink panther stuff) I believe you can get it on amazon but honestly it is less expensive at your local lowes or home depot. (Or free out of a consturction dumpster)
About how much web did you use from the package? Got the same amount from my place of employment. Gonna wait for clearance
Honestly, barely any. A package like the one I used will get you a TON of webbing.
@@CriticalCrafting i realized when i actually read the packaging and its told me how much it covers
Great thx
You're welcome!
Great idea ! Consider it stolen 😉
theft with props is the best compliment lol
