Having lived in more than one 300+ year old house, all I can say is that slightly warped floors just add to the realism.

The bright stone colors under the wash really worked well!

I’ve watched a ton of your painting videos . Didn’t realize you did terrain as well. Happy days finding an another reason to watch one of my favorites. Love you showed a mistake !!

Thanks! I don't do terrain as often but i want to do more!!

That looks like so much fun. I bought a LOT of those stir sticks to build a very large sailing ship for a D&D game, long long ago. It's nice to see that technique being used.

It turned out so good! I've never seen the 'stones in a can and shake' method before - will have to try it. Great video - thank you!

What is this, Black Magic Howl? But this has classic Dana vibes

The purple and turquoise really looks good on the stonework.

This was very enjoyable and felt like a back to roots exercise in crafting terrain

Love this, Dana! I've been really into kitbashing and scratch building recently, so it's always awesome to see other creators making awesome content about it, too. I'm looking to build a miniature set for miniature photography soon, so thank you for the inspo!!

Yay for the Dice Chatter mention! Love to see the result of a similar-but-different method. And having everything at an angle gives the building so much character!

Dice chatter is severely underrated.

Good to see your Architecture Degree not going to waste, the way you nailed all the terminology for the elements of the substructure was perfect🤣. But seriously, great job and always good to see the mistakes and fixes in videos like this, we've all experienced the PVA warp but not everyone knows how to fix this. Can't wait for the next video.

big fan of dice chatter, black magic craft and ... Dana Howl ! awesome build and love the tutorial steps, very clear, full of different options ! keep it up !

Loving the Mordeheim vibes! I finally managed to get the book and I'm getting ready to dive into my own table!

Very cool. I was initially skeptical of several of the techniques, but the finished product proved me wrong. Very moody overall look. Nice work

The magenta, blue, cyan gradient looks awesome.

The turquoise shade on the stonework reminds me a lot of buildings I've seen at old ironworks, where they would use slag to make cheap bricks, that shimmer in an oily fashion.

Babe wake up, we've been blessed by the gods with a new video.

I'm creating a little diorama for a friend at the moment using coffee stirrers as floorboards and was wondering how to paint them, simply staining them with speedpaint is a great idea! I'm going to do that, thanks Dana :)

@@DanaHowl That makes sense. I'd considered scoring them with either a craft knife or other sharp thing before grisaille/slapchop but I think the wire brush and staining plan will work better. Seems a shame to cover up actual wood to then paint it to look like wood!

Imho a mandatory addition to any crafting video js a few tips on storing terrain. As far as I'm concerned the best option is just getting 3-d printed modular ruins which can be disassembled and stored in a small box

Whimsical. Love the bricks!

Lovely colours, this is a different twist on a familiar style of terrain. Looking forward to expansions to see where this build goes.

Wow. This looks incredible. I was putting off making buildings like this due to not having a Proxxon. But you've shown me that using foam-core board and an x-acto knife will work just fine until I get that hot wire foam cutter. I love every video you make, Dana. Awesome content.

@DanaHowl

Glad to hear it! Yeah i specifically made this video thinking... I don't have a Proxxon, I bet a lot of other people don't either but don't realize you can do lots of stuff without one!!!

That's great. Possibly worth mentioning you can buy precut bricks also, which I found worth it to avoid the foam board peeling stage. I also tend to texture them all with foil before assembling. It's mindless work, but something you can do while watching TV without even looking at what you're doing.

You were extra funny in this one. Love what you do

One thing that I found that helps me speed things up (paper peeling) is that I grab my foam core from Dollar Tree or other “dollar” store. The adhesive for the paper is very weak and i can usually peel an entire new board in one sheet. Always seeing others do this.

This looks lovely. Have a great long weekend! I’m teaching summer school starting Tuesday…😢

This looks incredible. The color scheme is different than usual and I think it looks better than what is usually done with stone. I love all your more D&D focused content. Keep it coming.

Wow that wall filler really did the trick, in general not a fan of making foam terrain but this looks great.

Having begun down this road myself, I encourage and support this endeavor. I would say to not delay playing the game. My players know my terrain collection is still growing and that sometimes they'll need to use their imaginations. (I know, what an awful ask for a tabletop rpg) It also makes it fun whenever you get to make a step up in "production value" lol. My players are consistently excited to see the cool new terrain as it debuts.

Love your work, truly looks amazing.

ah i really do like the colorful bricks, they hint at a story. like they were sourced from a quarry with a wide variety of minerals. maybe the building was a tavern that served the miners. there's so much you can take from color!

I love seeing 1 creator I enjoy watching, is watching other creators I enjoy. This is a great build and love to see the combo of Devs and dice and dice chatters methods blended with your flare!

Wow, that looks incredible for just wooden stirring sticks. I know what I'm stealing from work next!

The little pair of purple eyes in the background are very cute.

Have you considered hitting the wood bit's with a brass wire brush to get some quick exaggerated wood grain to go along with you WoW windows?

Looks great!

Built better than my 1st house😅 Seriously, very nice work. I will definitely try to replicate this. Thank you for the video

These videos are great to get ideas for recycling.

Absolutely stunning job!

Awsome build! You inspire me with the more crooked style windows and the coloration (your strong point as always!) I often tend to go too much for 'perfect' straight, which is definitively now how things were build in our fantasy medival worlds :) everything is done by hand with basic tools and using organic materials and non-organic stuff stat is converted by manual labor.

This is phenomenal!

Wow, that is a lot of bricks. Looks really fantastic, but i wouldn't have the patience to do it this way. Wonderful building, though.

The white foamcore is designed to be peeled. Happy Canada Day.

Same with 3D Sculpting, I do my bricks 1x1. There are ways to create them super fast, but there is something about making a set of them and modifying on the go as needed. It has a different feel to it at the end. Made a set of 50, by rotating and flipping them makes them even individual and then reshaping as needed.

I don't know if you realize the glee with which my wife and I giggle and say "Squaaaaaaarespaaaaaace" along with you. (#OrDomain)

I think you need something on the inside of the walls like plaster. One layer of rustic brickwork would be very cold.

I love you work!

💪The first pride at stonewall 🤝 building a tiny stone wall💪 throwing brick by brick by brick by brick by brick

Ive been on a green stone and brick kick lately ala grey skull from he-man, but it never occured to me to use that pallet along with some complementary colors using the same process as natural variations for brick. Looks really good. Though i think I'd have gone with something like Drakenhof or blue when washing over the grout but the warmer brown does go with all the wood work more

If you spray the paper with an alcohol and water mix it should peel off easier when dry.

Such talent and skill 👍👍

Cool 🏰

I think the spackle might be better applied before you prime the walls.

Love your channel! Just a heads up about the dollar store foamcore. I’ve had issues with it de-laminating and falling apart. I’ve not had the same issues with more expensive foamcore..maybe it’s the adhesive that they use, or just more of it. I had to rebuild an entire tabletop worth of Necromunda scenery because of it…shakes fist at Dollorama.

Great video. Also, do you plan on uploading any CoS gameplay footage to your other channel?

If you wanna avoid warpage just put something very flat and heavy on top of it while it dries.

@Kahtini

13 күн бұрын

It also helps if you already got warpage, to do the wet/glue the other side, using baking parchment or wax paper to protect the weights (typically source/game books)

There is foam safe super glue. It’s a lot cleaner and easier to work with vs a hot glue gun.

It is interesting to look back on earlier videos to see how quickly Dana used to say the word "Squaaaaaaare". In very early videos she even said it with only one "a" - shocking!

How do you keep and store all of these sets? I would think space would be an issue if you kept them all.

Using small cardboard boxes as a base shape saves me a lot of time compared to this method. You get a sturdy interior to build over and its really cheap

I would never try to tell you how to build or paint a model, but why didn't you add the spackling compound before you painted it, not after?

Can you tell how much time it took in total? The masonry work does look super time-consuming :D
