  • Watch me scratch build a set of ruins with an arched gate from XPS foam for my Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game! I use foam, craft paint, hot glue, and flocking to make this scatter terrain.

    Loving this channel, my dude.
    Calm, focused, and informative. Not only are your models first class but your delivery of the tutorials is top shelf as well. Keep up the good work.

    I seriously love your work, especially these small terrain builds. Each one is so cool and on its own can tell a whole scenario. Thats why I love this channel so much.

    I like the idea of having the wall go just past the edge of the "base," allowing for a mid of modularity with other pieces on a table.

      I felt like I was breaking the rules! I saw a piece of terrain on pinterest that looked like the whole base was rubble. Very inspiring!

    Another excellent piece.I like the idea of using flocked embroidery floss for the vines. I have seen plain embroidery floss coiled up to represent ropes too.

      I love the fine texture of embroidery floss! I want to try this again and pull a few smaller strands out to create more depth.

      Thank you! I want to take another crack at arch building. I feel I could improve quite a bit there.

    Love these builds. The vines are a great idea. It would be great to show us all your builds in a setting as your work has a great theme going on. Keep up the great work, look forward to future projects.

      I would need a bigger game table! They are starting to pile up!

    Don't know if I said this before but your wet on wet style works so well. Finally had a project to try it recently

      Thank you! I borrowed the technique from Bob Ross! Glad it worked out for you!

    Looking good, bro. I used that vine technique years ago, but never added to it with more flock. Great idea! I'm still learning new techniques from you. -Rick, USMC

      Thanks! I think I may try untwisting the embroidery floss into multiple strands and see what that looks like.

  • @TheSasquatchjones
    @TheSasquatchjones День тому

    Love the vines. I do something very similar, but instead of pva glue I use a heavy body acrylic paint to stiffen them up

    • @ravenstead

      I liked the color of the thread I used but painting sounds like a good way to go as well!

    Awesome-looking piece, though it does make me want to hit those veneer stones with a little overbrush of some white/eggshell color to make it look like they were plastered/limewashed at one point.

    • @ravenstead
      @ravenstead  19 годин тому +1

      Oooo! That's a great idea! I will have to do another build with that detail.

    The vine idea is great. I've not seen that before. This is a very cool build. Thank you for sharing your work. What spray lacquer do you use?

    • @ravenstead
      @ravenstead  День тому

      Thanks! I use minwax satin polyurethane. It will eat foam so you have to be sure everything is painted.

    I think I like your original method for vines. Having said that, maybe combine both to add some bulk where needed? Still, I think the arch looks awesome! You are building fantasy terrain, not a scale miniature so who cares if the masonry is not realistic. 😉

    • @ravenstead
      @ravenstead  19 годин тому +1

      I guess an impressionistic approach isn't so bad for game terrain but I love throwing the little details in there as I can. Thanks for the encouragement!

    Love your video's. The video about the ruind building has started me in miniature building.
    I'll use your video's as inspiration, for my D&D session with my students. In about a few weeks. :D
    This is there first time playing D&D.
    Do you have a list of products/paints you use?

    • @ravenstead
      @ravenstead  19 годин тому +1

      Good luck with the game! That sounds so exciting!
      I use all cheap craft paint. The most expensive item is my Proxxon hot wire cutter but you can achieve similar results with a sharp craft knife. I do coat the finished pieces with Minwax Satin Polyurethane.
