You are probably the only person that could ever put up an 18 minute long youtube tutorial for an epic build using nothing but leftover scraps just to proudly say it looks like shit at the end. It looks good my man, maybe a more white or grey base coat for the stonework to emulate limestone.

Dude, it looks great. Don't be so hard on your self, you are the reason why I started building minis.

Thanks! I know it's not bad but I hyped myself too much while seeing it unpainted so I expected more :D

@@BardsCraft I agree with InnPea you are too hard on your self man, it looks great. Also, I love your humor it pretty much matches mine so I watch for that reason too. Keep up the great videos, I plan on starting up a crafting video series showing my techniques with recycled foam and I hope you will like it.

Artists are thier own worst critics.

Best GM crafting advice ever: "Play D&D in candle-light so no one sees my mistakes" - Bard's Craft That's a keeper alright.

Cutting Sounds: check. Cutting with big kitchen knife: check. Cutting with sword: check. Dry brushing sounds: check. Messiness of build in the beginning: check. Final look of build awesome: check. Video uploaded in friday, thus saving our weekend: check. 😎

those shingles would look amazing in a dragon bones temple. good result with simple material. that's why i prefer this channel over others that have gone crazy with magnets and resin stuff have you tried a metal wire brush on the cardboard?

That roof was sick! But like many others have pointed out, the rest of the build was really good as well! Many times we as creators are the worst critics and I hope that you can find some comfort in our unanimous hype with this building and the rest of your builds! Keep this stuff coming man! Eat more oats!

Dude, I don't do wargaming, just plane models, but buildings and dioramas you're creating are just amazing!!! Congrats!!!

I know I’m two years late, but seriously have enjoyed watching your builds and practical usage of materials. A lot of my terrain has been modeled using your techniques and builds! Keep inspiring us with your creativity!!

Great job! I'm happy you just "eye-balled it" because it looks more organic that way. Too many other crafters are often busy with exact measurements which makes the craft tedious instead of fun. 👍🏻

If you can find push pins or small nails, you can use them to pin the cardboard together while it dries.

Roof looks great! The overall build is pretty nice. I think color of walls should be either green, or orange yellow. I think green would look best tho. And maybe yellow gold dry brush on top. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your budget conscious builds!

Dude - it looks great ! You failed at nothing ✨🧝🏿‍♂️🧝🏽‍♀️✨

Everytime in the beginning it seems shit but then suddenly everything comes together into aaaamaaazing builds. Those shingles have such a nice tetro vibe

You are absolutely my favorite crafter on youtube!

I love the inspiration you bring to the crafting community, and the message that you don't need expensive stuff to create great buildings

That's the reason I like this channel so much. Not everyone can afford or even want to afford a proxon hot wire cutter. Sure they do a great job, but for that kind of money they better. I liked your way better: anyone can get the materials, and even more important anyone can cut your material. Plus, you not only get a like, but this is my third or fourth post on this video alone. KZread loves comments. Best of all you are not always begging for money. Thank you for such a great channel.

F0k0 I agree with you. If your goal is to create the most authentic looking buildings, maybe all of that expensive stuff and perfect measurements might help. If your goal is just to build cool looking props to add to the tabletop experience, this is a great way to go. This way looks like it's more fun to do, too.

I love how this temple looks. And that it's all built from cardboard - I love that you use such simple easy to find things to make amazing terrain and creatures out of. I have hope that one day I can do some for myself (I have to get my work area to a stage I can use it for that as at the moment it is working as a support structure for piles of stuff I don't know where to store).

I love how much work you put into your crafts! Also farm more watch time! I'm fine watching you craft more, especially when I finally get un-lazy and make my own terrain.

I thought it came out amazing man, the roof is incredible! Nothing wrong with the wall color or texture in my opinion, all around sick build. Keep up the great work

Your channel and NerdForge are the ones that got me into making dioramas and book nooks. Now, every box is a potential diorama or book nook. I didn't throw anything away hardly ever before, NOW, I just don't throw anything away. LOL

That blue roof is chef's kiss good.

The whole idea is amazing. I wouldn't expect such a great construction with tiles, roof all from some pieces of cardboard. The color shading of dragon scales is awesome :)

You're too hard on yourself, buddy. This is great! For just using cardboard and oats packaging, this turned out wonderfully. It should be most excellent for a DnD game. I'm sure your friends appreciate the creativity that you bring to the tabletop. Thanks for sharing your tips, tricks, and techniques. Cheers, --Bo

Literally one of the BEST channels out there. Showing us peasants how to build and craft without being fancy using tools that i never even heard of, a well respected boi that NEEDS more subs, it's a damn crime you don't have more subs and even more view's. Your videos are the only reason i am comfortable using a kitchen knife in stead of a utility knife ir wire cutter.

Did you have fun building it? 'Cause I had fun watching it. If you call this a failure, keep them failures coming. The wonkiness of these builds just adds to the charm of wargames terrain. You are so subbed, mister!

No mistakes have been made here. Happy incidents i call them. In my book thats a fantastic build! And the shingle roof looks super cool. Thank you for uploading evem though you might be a bit unhappy about it. We are amazed and love it! Also: no oats were harmed during this build!

I don't think you failed at all. It looks really good. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I would suggest to try putty (for walls), white it is not dried yet, you can add some cool texture on it. Putty will make cardboard a lot harder and sturdier. Plus, you can also add brick texture using brick template

Eye if the beholder. You see all the imperfections I just see an amazing build. Love the blue tiles and highlights. The gold really saved the brown edges I was not seeing it come together until the end.

Hello! I watch a lot of your videos and when you made the mention of not finding well priced glue-sticks I thought why don't I help with that with patreon. Hope to keep seeing more of your videos, cheers for the content so far! Would love if you snapped a few photos from your D&D campaigns to share on your website as well

I think you did an amazing job!!! Don't ever say you did a bad job. You are trying and that's more than a lot of people. Your builds are always great and you think of using things that I never think of. Keep making all the things and I'll keep watching! Your videos always make me smile and think of more ideas. 😊👍

dude this is great! A really good terrain from trash, ive seen so much cool terrains that are supposed to be made from trash, but you will need tousands of specific stuff so it looks good, instead, you maek this out of garbage and its sooooo good looking. Keep it up!

Great work, man. I usually make up textured paint (with sand or sawdust), that way it saves you an extra step (I've got a video on it) Don't worry too much about making little mistakes here & there.... Instead, cover them up with little added details/features (eg, glue on some haphazard coffee stirrers to look like there's been some makeshift repairs) by adding things like weathering, moss, bird's nests, vines, dirt, flock, tufts, etc.. Another brilliant video. Well done

you are right that roof is beautiful

Oh I’d like to see you take this build further! I think it’s a great start!

First. Amazing building. But, more important, this Bard is looking more and more jacked.

Looks awesome

That looks amazing!

Spot on!

FANTASTIC !!!

This looks great! Nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is an awesome build. It looks great. Don’t be so hard on your self!

Just found your channel. You are so inspirational. I've been making cardboard terrain for a while, so I'm used to rough builds, but, yours are so clean. Absolutely top notch, man!

Those roofs are gorgeous!

Watching as it comes together is enjoyable

When you said you made a rushed project by observing yours it will help make me pay more attention to mine. The best lessons are mistakes. Awesome craft by the way

Nice work as always!!

Omg dude.... That texture. Thank you so much.

Thx for sharing your honest thoughts.

Amazing craftsmanship.

Nice build. It looks great.

I think it's pretty good, and a trick for the hot glue, keep a little water handy and wet your fingers so it doesn't stick and burn! Great vid!

Love your amazing use of cardboard and glue! Look forward to each new video! Eat your oats!

This is fantastic work, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!

This roof is so gorgeous! I LOVE it ♡

I would really love a short video where you show us your favorite ways to prepare all these oats you eat. Edit: I'll share one of mine. I live in very hot area, so I like cold oats alot. I rinse raisins, then drain them ( i don't like getting grit in my raisins) then I put the oats, the raisins, a bit of apple sause, greek yogurt, milk and cinnamon in a sealable container shake it up and leave it in the fridge over night. In the morning I've got delicious cold oats.

Again an awesome piece and I really like the blue!!! Thx

That blue roof is gorgeous!

I think it looks great! 😍

Looks so freaking good cant wait for your next video

Love your videos. Keep em coming. I have a good laugh at all the brushing noises. It's great to see how your channel has evolved.

Yesssss. A terain that I have the materials for!!!!

Simply ingenious crafting and your techniques are very useful.

I love the work you do, keep it up👍!

Perfect motivation for trying new stuff! Started doing some prototypes for more intricate windows in xps.

Great video! I love it that you try new things and throw caution to the wind. I learn something new from every video.

Oh, it looks great! I love your commentary, too, very droll and amusing.

This model looks outstanding, you did a great job. Congratulations

Bud, watching your videos just fills me with joy. I enjoy them so much! I wish I could come play D&D with yall. Keep up the good work!!

Looks amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Those shingles came out amazing. I never would have thought that the blue could work so well.

Yah its look awsome we appreciate all this carboad things

It is a great build - and I really like the colors. You are making very entertaining videos, thanks!

The paint job on the roof shingles is great, and I think the gold trim goes really well with it. I can see what you mean about the colors on the walls coming out kind of flat, but I don’t think it looks nearly as bad as you think it is. One suggestion I’d make would be to paint those decorative elements on the walls a different color. They’re a cool shape so it would help them be more visible and distract from the color of the wall that you weren’t happy with. Overall though really good work!

The shingles are the highlight of the build, they look awesome. I'll keep that in mind when I decide to make a dog house for my dog but with pieces of plywood instead of cardboard box. Thanks for the inspiration

unreal. you're extremely talented my friend

Great work!

looks great!

That looks fantastic. You amaze me with your simple materials and epic builds. Great looking buildings built inexpensively. Keep up the good work!

Dude that looks amazing. I wish i had 1/10th your talent.

That roof is beautiful!

Thanks a lot for the "lessons learned" part - this is great!

This is absolutely awesome. You have 10 times the patience I could dream of having. Seriously. Keep up the good work!

I really like the paint job on the roof. Those colors look amazing.

I know its stupid, but the sounds of your dry brushing gives me hope. That one day I will be able to take up the craft again and host my sessions after all this is over. During all this Im still working, and have zero time. Thanks for inspiring me and giving me something to look forward to.

Dude your building looks awesome and you have a great amount of spirit. Are there better crafters out there, maybe but you have more heart than anyone! Keep crafting and making videos because you are a one of a kind!

Amazing!

Wonderful video! It's amazing what you can create out of simple items like Cardboard and cardstock. I'm looking forward to more. This looks fantastic even though you're not happy with the results ^^ I doubt your players wouldn't mind at all given the hard work you put into it. I would gladly see this on my table!

Love your videos and your voice! You talk about your "mistakes" but this looks beautiful to me! Thank you for all your great terrain tutorials. Please keep posting, I crave more!

Another amazing build. I'm so impressed by your talents! Keep it up! Love your videos your knife cutting tree bark (in other videos) is so satisfying😍

Man I love your work

A true master.

I love love LOVE the roof!! The blues make it almost look like dragon scales. ❤️

Kitty's box is put in a good use!

I love that roof!

Im definitely about to build this

Great work
