dried out baby wipes is a less frustrating option!

I think the Terrain Tutor had a video about that method.

You really deserve the 100k. I love how the tents look, when i need tents i will definitely come back here

I was so nervous when you started drybrushing the white on. But it makes the cloth look worn and really makes them pop.. love the fact you promote other channels too.. well done on the 100k! Well deserved

Fine handkerchief linen, silk or similar thin cloth work as well. I cut up an old paisley tie to make a Mughal canopy for an elephant howdah and scraps from my wife's sewing became cloth trappings for other elephants. Fabric stores often have scraps bins where you can get inexpensive remnants if you don't know someone who sews.

Crazy...I was watching the Tudors last night and thinking I need to make some medieval tents that are better than the old cardstock ones I have from Perilous Quest. Perfect timing!

Haha nice. I wanna see what you do with yours man!

If you had searched more of DM Scottys vids you would have seen where he would use toilet paper or even paper towels for such things as you are trying, but the secret was lay down the toilet paper or paper towel down dry on your project then spray it with a 50/50 mixture or white glue and water. And let dry. Hopes this helps

baby wipes work really well (unused - LOL) Paper napkins (they are multi-ply so separate them) have another advantage in that you can find them in colors or patterns. I found some old english patterns that worked nicely.

Yeah Luke from Geekgaming/Luke’s APS mentioned baby wipes to me as well. Also, love the idea of the pattern in there

Cheese cloth might also work.

This is so sweet seeing how pleased you were with hitting 100k subscribers. That's an incredible milestone. A year later, you're at 241,000.

Terrain tutor has got the skills

I enjoyed those little flags way too much

Thanks for showing videos like this - it encourages those of us just starting out that even the experts still need to learn new techniques and not everything goes to perfect plan first time. It also helps us to see how things can be fixed, and the time and effort doesn't have to go in the bin just because it's not perfect. Thank you. I've been enjoying your videos this last week and am slowly working out what I'm needing to forward think about for my planned diorama. Thanks.

Black Magic Craft uses construction paper to simulate bits of leather/animal hide. It looks great There are lots of great tips about what to use for cloth so I'll add what I use as cloth on a very small scale. It's a paper for wrapping the ends of hair. It's called end wrap

I have used an old cotton sheet soaked in strong tea and PVA for a canvas look before...very effective and it drapes well. Clean but old cotton (worn out bed-sheet) is best. I have also used kleenex and PVA but you have to be careful how you handle it as it will rip and fall apart easily if handled too much.

I have used similar techniques for things like curtains and blankets. But something I do is look at the textures of various paper towels and TP. The patterns can look really cool and intentional when used well.

use an underlayer of papertowel 1st. it helps build texture and strength . then use the tissue paper to cover it and hide the papertowel pattern. love your vids always inspiring .you can also use clear packaging plastic and boiling water to make nice strong banners/cloth

Great build, and well deserved on that 100K Neil.

dude you got talent for doing minny sets so cool

I liked the effect that Studson Studio has acheived while making his "Breath of the Wild Stable DIY Craft"

You earned that plaque, enjoy it!

Anyone notice he looks a bit like Mel Gibson? Kinda like how Eric from Eric's hobby workshop looks like Tom Hardy. Both played Mad Max. That's all i wanted to say. Congrats on 100k!

Art Generica Time will tell!

Grats on the 100k! So happy to be a part of the community you've created

Here is a really cool technique to use for frosted glass: Cover toilet paper in super glue and it will turn kinda transparent. It also turns very hard because it's superglue. The glue would need to be a runnier one

Congrats on the 100k! My husband showed me your wizard tower video and I've been hooked ever since. I've always wanted to make complex scenes like you do, ever since I was a preschooler! I don't have the space (or money) yet but you've inspired me to start building my skills right now using materials I can find around the house. One day I'll graduate to your level! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Great technique! Cant wait to try it. Also congrats on the 100k sub milestone. When I found this video you're at 345k subs 🤯👏👏👏

We're all here cause you're awesome!

I didn’t even see the notification on this, but came immediately over after watching your frosty giant video, great job!

Mel the Terran tutor done a video a while ago on making your own canvas looking material from wet wipes, it looked awesome.

If you are old enough to have seen the Music Video for Alice In Chains "I stay away", then you would agree that these designs are eerily similar to The aesthetic of the Music Video. I love how fun and interesting each design is, it's a great tutorial! Nice job!

So looking forward to your next set...even more...bigtop...even better!

Woke up this morning, opened YT in search of videos to make some tents for my Orlok clan... *scroll preview film *scroll game preview 3d : you, and your tents!!! 🤗

Nice job on the tents look good. Yeah Scotty did some like that for Orcs I think V at Crafting Muse did some nice tents. I know I'm probably forgetting several that did tents. One thing that can really make them look a little nicer is where the roof meets the wall use a strip either cut in rectangles or triangles hanging down can paint them in a different color or make them blowing in the breeze slightly to add detail and more interest to the tents. Can even use paper towels the cheap thin ones with no embossed lines in it if the toilet paper is a bit to flimsy for you.

Great first! You'll get better each time I am sure! Love all your work!

Your videos are wonderfully lit, narrated and edited and I love the little animations you add as well.

Realistic, creative and superb...once again!

Now I know what I'm going to do in weekend 😃

Congratulations ! The tents also came out great.

Mel uses dried baby wipes, the plain ones. Give you a better cloth texture and don't tear easily.

Awesome job. I gave one a shot after watching your video...working with that wet tissue is no joke. I couldn't get it nearly as clean as yours. Thanks for a fun afternoon.

Great job with the 100k subscribers! Great video with making tents. I usually use cheap paper towels, but I've looked at toilet paper as well, never gone below 2 ply with the toilet paper. Usually use 1 ply for the paper towels though.

Those tents came out awesome!

The old fashion tissue that they use that comes with new shirts always worked great for me for 1/35th scale canvas tarps.

I'd recommend giving a couple of the scale model guys a follow, papercraft tarpaulins are a good intro (and diorama techniques cross over really well). I'd suggest Plasmo, laser creation world, panzermeister36, and night shift.

And through the virtue of patience, I could have noticed that you already found laser creation world...

congrats on the 100k! you have earned it!

I use baby wipes for tents! Learned this trick from Mel the Terrain Tutor - looks just like thick cloth and is less delicate to work with than tissue paper

Great work, try with bandage on paper and if you need some silk use silk ;)

I used dried baby wipes - material is very strong reducing ripping and can still manipulate folds and wrinkles. Mark Bosler

I absolutely love your channel. I admire that you make most things from scratch.

They came out wonderful!

Wow.... absolut perfect work!!!!!!!

I don't even play D&D, but I love doing miniature dollhouse scene and the effect I copy from you make my dollhouse look breathtaking with all the detail.

Scott from Miniac suggested using thin brass sheeting. You can shape it like a banner or flag in the wind and I it'll easily hold its shape. I wonder if this as a base but covered in tissue would give it a more realistic texture. Jeremy

Beautiful work, Brotha. Love it.

Amazing work Neil! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to seeing what you will do next and I don’t know what I would use them for but I want to try this out now! Can’t wait for the next video and as always thank you for sharing and inspiring me and your followers! 👍👍

Great result!

The "Reluctant Rogue" was cool but the "Wandering Wizard" is still my favorite. Nice builds!

Very nice looking and I'll be trying these soon!

I have Wars of the Roses armies and need two encampments with tents. I have been debating how to do this for some time and your video has given me the push `I need to get the job done. I'll be using your method, thanks

Congrats on the 100k subs. With regard to the canvas, I dry brush with the same color I painted the canvas but 2 - 3 shades lighter. I find it more realistic. I find dry brushing only with white on certain colors doesn't quite seem to portray realism and it can be quite noticeable. Give it a try. Once again congrats on 100k subs, quite an achievement on modelling channels.

Laser Creation world is a fantastic channel

Glad I came across this. I want to make some tent like structures for my display that I can use in Gaslands as well. What I am looking at is more like a large pop up style tent (domed) or hunting blind type of deal for my display.

The tents turned out great! And, can't wait to see what you do with the huge gaming board!

next project target acquired! nicely done

You've done exceptional work here. Great great job.

Proud of you! And thank you, for everything. ❤️

Glad you recommended this in the newest video. I love it and wasn't recommended it before!

this was awesome, they turned out amazing. i'm going to have to try this out myself

Wow! 100k subscribers, that's amazing. Very well deserved. I made some small camping tents a while back but I need some big tents for a faire/joust I have planned. This will be perfect inspiration.

Super cool! Love it.

Congratulations on the 100k. Love the tents and will be using this cloth technique. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Love it, These are GREAT BUD!!! I also have done some tents tent type crafts, I used wet wipes, NOT them CHEAP ones though they fall apart right out of the water!! Love these TENTS!! THANKS!!!!

Congratulations!

Came from the Frost giant video also, love your channel congrats!

One material experiment that might be worth trying is using rice paper used for Vietnamese spring rolls. You just soak them in warm water for a moment, and they are quite forgiving and elastic. Haven't tried for crafting, just cooking, but could potentially be something that would work as well. :)

Shop towels would be nice and sturdy.

Outstanding work on the tents. A handy tutorial I could use for tarps on trucks. Thanks for sharing

Had you thought about cutting the “fabric” to size and shape, wetting the wooden structure, placing the fabric, and THEN gently misting with the PVA solution? That would reduce the handling and risk of tearing. Great work.

Watching you inspires me so much when it comes to artistic expression, persistence and dedication, and your work has been great for teaching me how to texture and create various elements for my digital art. Thank you so much for creating such awesome content

👏 Wowsers... you really do create tiny world bits. Love your props to other creators too... good stuff.

Great video man really helped me out thanks.

This is Really cool! Nice work!

Looks great I love your work keep it up!

Cheers!

One idea for another project (that is if YOU want to) maybe the idea of a burnt/destroyed village buildings at the work of raiders or maybe a rogue fire dragon.

Love how these look. They could double as circus tents too.

love the tents, haven't checked to see if you made more yet, but what about trying a cheap or old t-shirt for the base. I am going to try that once I get some time to start modeling again. Thanks for the continued nice content.

Inspirational as always Neal , watching you making those tents puts me in mind of possible idea for you as a diorama of a jousting tournament with those tents gathered around a arena ? Well done on reaching that goal, and I'm sure there will be more .

This was fun!!

These look great, I don't know why you were worried about the painting. Smashed it!

Congratulations with your 100,000 subscribers! Keep it up; I like your work style with cheap materials. I also love to make beautiful things with paper mache.

This is a cool idea. Thank you so much.. ❤️💡😊👍

So awesone

This is fantastic! I've been looking for a realistic technique. Definitely going to share this and put it to use. Keep it up!

wow these tents look great!

Man those look awesome!

Brilliant video bud!!

Wonderful work!

honestly you did a great job on the canvas, the cuts you put into the wet tissue paper.... that takes skill, and patience. One suggestion, since I hate gluing tooth pick together is to use DM Scottys Tent structure method, it uses a carboard structure, much faster and easier to glue together. He used it in his orc Tent videos, but I will be trying a hybrid between your method and his.! Really nice tents !

Something like this would be perfect for my upcoming D&D campaign. Really glad I stumbled upon your video! They look superb and congrats on smashing through 100k!

Wow! Those tents look great! Congratulations on 100k!

I used actual fabric and coated it with super glue - shaped as desired - which hardens it to feel like plastic..... Although this method was used onto a miniature to make a cloak it was a great result.... not sure if a larger project would work but you can give it a go.
