*_Great work, as always._* *_I gotta say, those cracks? They are ideal if you want cracks in the side of a building. Something to look into for a future build, it does add realism. But then, one could always just quickly carve in cracks, so maybe not_*

Normally I usually use acrylic putty, not wall mortar or plaster. When the acrylic putty dries, it becomes even more difficult to sand, but as it hardens and becomes a type of cement with fewer fractures. Acrylic putty has a certain plasticity that reduces breakage, unlike plaster. Amazing job! Cheers

All I can say is "damn dude" that's one hell of a job & one hell of a project!

Hey man, you okay? I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard doing these crazy projects. It looks amazing as always, but I hope you're taking care of yourself ❤

What do you do with them when you finish these massive builds? I can only imagine them being wheeled down the aisles of a giant warehouse like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

It's always great to build stuff from videogames, since you can go and check for yourself how it looks. I've been a fan of the cork-plaster combination for a while, looks phenomenal. If you want your plaster to be extra sturdy and resistent to blows and scratches you can always cover it with polyurethane resin. The porous nature of plaster (works with other porous things, like wood) will absorb the resin and it will harden inside the plaster making it extra durable. You can apply multiple coats, but when the plaster starts to gloss it means it won't take any more resin. Just make sure you work with smallquantities of resin at a time and work fast since it starts to solidify once the two components are mixed. Great build, as always. I look forward to the next video.

I've followed Samy for a couple of years now, his work is amazing.

Yea, that's the way to do it. Show us how it's done on one part and do the rest off camera - faster for you and cuts to the chase for us! And as always love the music.

1:46 - I can't believe you got Frodo Baggins in to help you out! So cool!

This castle is coming along awesomely!! And I have to give you HUGE props for using so many eco-friendly materials, like cardboard and cork (genius idea! I hadn’t thought of that one!) and paperclay. I cringe so hard when I see people doing these huge builds entirely out of foam, which will continue to hang around for hundreds of years after they have died. So great job, you! 🙌🏻

I really love this project. I'm so excited to see it progress.

You Sir are a total mad lad! In all the best ways! Absolutely inspiring craftsmanship. The attention to detail is insane!

I absolutely love the cork stone/plaster look. I'm looking forward to you splashing some color on this!

nice to see someone else crafts in their pyjama bottoms too.

I will say that - as a kid - I was a terrible flashlight holder.

I've done some work recently with plastered stonework and went a very different way than you did. I'd seen a tutorial for making pillars that used the toilet paper cardboard tube, glued on parts of the rougher egg carton cardboard that's rough, then using the drywall patching plaster that's premixed from dollar tree with a lot of added water to thin it out. I shifted it to use with some mdf kits rather than the cardboard tube, but it worked out extremely well there. Quite quick there to do it. The main issue with a lot of plasters is that most don't grip that well in the first place

I have a terrific tip, glue fine wet or dry sandpaper onto the back of your steel rule, it makes it very grippy so it won't slip when you are cutting strips of balsa etc.

Awesome project. Only too big if you never get to use it. The cork bricks are very cool and come out a treat.

Another epic build in progress. This is looking really good. Love watching all the techniques, which of course are completely stealable and adaptable. 😄

I really love the fact, that you are making a replica of a castle from Czech game, which was designed on the actual castle here. Cannot wait for the result and I will drive there and compare the reality with your creation.

spectacular, one of my fav spots in one of my fav games done real justice by one of my fav youtubers, really excellent man. Can't wait for the rest!

Beautiful project! Always a joy to watch your videos.

I can't wait to see the finished product. The model castle looks pretty spectacular. Good stuff!!!

Love this castle! Amazing work! Can't wait to see the end result!

Awesome work Niel! Always just a really cool experience to see how you do what you do.

I so applaud your' level of patients on this

Massive and awesome. I really like how brick work shows through the plaster, "simple trick" that gives ton of character and detail.

I like how at first you were careful with the plaster, and at the end you were just pouring it on the build xD

I'd say this is "going" to be an epic build, but it already is! Can't wait for more.

this is incredible! I saw part one and then missed the rest of these

I am glad I am not the only person who has tried to do this. I was obsessed for a while with making a building from The Witcher 3, unfortunately I did not have your commitment. Amazing and inspiring work.

Impressive build! Seeing the small minis on the huge walls really brings the scale of this castle.

really loving this series already! going to be so jealous that youll be able to have a close up look anytime you want after putting in so much work! keep up the good work!

I'd recommend coating that air dry clay in a layer or two of Mod Podge or PVA glue. It likes to chip after being painted, leaving little white spots all over.

What an undertaking, it is going to look absolutely amazing and be very playable

It's looking Amazing congratulations!! The Hobbit holes files are now arriving thank you Neil!!

I've played the game so I'm familiar with the castle. It doesn't feel particularly large when you walk through it, but it's massive when I see it on your table. I think mine is going to have to be modular.

I don't think I have ever been more impressed by a KZread video in my life! This project is amazing!

I watch NerdForge make Diorama sets and she usually steals rocks from her neighbors gravel and then puts Styrofoam in a sandwich bag with the rocks and slam it into the desk a few times, give a few smooshes with her hands and then glues the foam rocks into place.

What most people don't understand about medieval castles is that they usually didn't have exposed stonework. They, indeed, put plaster over everything, and hit it all with a whitewash. Because it looks really cool. It's only due to years of neglect that all the plaster broke off, leaving the more durable stone underneath that informs our popular perception. (Also, there were probably way more castles made of _wood_ than stone, because wood was easier/less expensive to build. When the wood is plastered over, it looks functionally identical to a plastered stone castle. Wood castles just tended to rot and fall apart over the years, hence why the stone castles are all that remain from that era.)

In my mind I'm like "I could do this!" And then reality sets in. This is awesome.
