really nice , well done Sir :) Personally I like to have the baseboard ,in my case mat to be totally covered in cobbles.

This way when you lay out the buildings the cobble between them automatically become the roads thus giving you endless layout options.

I completely agree! The problem I have is I really don't like basing terrain as I feel it limits its possiblities, although I may have found a way around that.

Ай бұрын

I have always used wooden canvas' of some variety for boards, far more convenient & often cheaper. That said I am looking at making some in the future based on the same principle of being able to hang them on a wall.

Just bloody brilliant work on this. Looking at the designs, I do think the ruined church needs some interior ceiling or support pieces to make an vertical dangly bits a bit more stable. And after seeing a bunch from terrain crafters on KZread like MS_Paints, Wyloch armory & Eric's crafting workshop, I'd be really curious to see how you'd paint up the buildings in this. And as someone from the US & working in the printing industry, the A paper sizing and the metric system too are just so simple & I wish it was something everyone would adopt just to make everything easier as the measurements systems here are just full on stupid. Definitely fixing that with a few other small things (by leaving notes in the past) when I get a hold of a time travel machine.😃

If memory serves the USA declared Independence in 1776. Interestingly, the first Declaration of Independence was written by a Scot, but that's irrelevant at this point. The first reference to ISO 216 was in writing by a man named George Christoph Litchenberg in 1786, a deceivingly non Scottish name, relevant. He was a German.

Why do the end of your vids cut off like they do?

@WulvenKraft

Ай бұрын

I'm not overly keen on the whole 'glamour shots ending' as you've been watching build through the video & they about the build not the painting. I also find ending the videos difficult verbally as I'm not comfortable with the whole like share subscribe routine. Plus the way that KZread operates with the suggested video at the end from a editing point of view, I don't like just leaving the last frame hanging around for 15-20 seconds, as a viewer I find that lazy & because we can choose the timing that those appear I try & time it so they pop up as my video cuts. Then there are also retention issues, another reason I'm not keen on glamour shots. The moment a viewer knows the video is ending they leave & often don't see the end screens so don't see related videos. My videos that cut tend to have better CTR rates on end screens.
