Thanks for touching on how long the process takes. Loving this large build being broken into weeks. It helps put context into how long it actually takes. When I'm in the middle of a build, I often get frustrated with progress I've made.

Progress is progress my friend! Sometimes you can only take little steps, what matters is you’re a little closer to the finish than when you started!

Thanks for taking about the time commitment some projects can involve. I think the biggest thing that discourages new crafters is not understanding why its taking so long vs. what they see on KZread. So far I'm really enjoying how the table is progressing. Its really starting to look like its going to be amazing

Absolutely interesting, the scope of work mind blowing. I feel like I’m cheating with digitally designing and printing while eating popcorn. Well done, respect.

Really cool! Didn't thought that you can do such good brickwork by cutting them in. I thought you have to glue single bricks to get such results. So good job

More than one way to skin a cat my friend!

This is a great technique! I’m going to try this. Thanks!

Great video! Nice stairs, I need to get me a hot wire table for sure! Thanks for sharing!!

Totally true about the time commitment for some these builds. I recently wrapped up a tavern/farmhouse that I estimate was North of a hundred and sixty hours.

Crazy, I know. My longest one before that was a warship that was maybe 80 hours. One of these days I’ll post them on Instagram.

I will say, to make the stairs more playable, I would do thicker, wider stairs, that way a model can rest on it, with maybe 3 stairs in total. It'll still read as stairs on the board but be a lot more interactable

Some of my builds take literally months of 1 or 2 hours a day for a single building lol Coming along great!

This is looking really good! We just got a glance at your big white stairs, but they looked amazing from what I could tell. Also, it's always great to have a gentle reminder that the video editing process makes things look nice and fast, but in reality it takes forever. Thanks for that! I love your channel. Keep it up; you're doing great work here! :)

Time Lapse guitar rift at 2:57... oh how I've missed it! ... "One Step Closer"... LOL, I see what you did there. Also, I got my terrain from Terrainify today. Wow, really pleased with the purchase. Thank you for the hook up!

You could also stack the stair slabs and cut the backside flush with one cut. Great video

Love your videos! Stairs turned out awesome.

Great video. Working on a Halloween display that started out as a simple used dollhouse with spray paint that has morphed into a whole diorama. IOW, I bit off more than I can chew. It's definitely going to be a multiyear process, and I'm learning from videos like this. Appreciated!

I'm currently making an onslaught board with similar styling. I don't glue in any modules, as you can make different inserts. Change the insert, and it becomes a door/sewer for level transitions.

Thanks for the tip. Love it.

Glad I could say it then!

With large, stone constructs like this, look at detail pictures of ancient structures. The stairs, for example, could have been built using layered slabs of stone, rather than individual stones. This would be realistically plausible if heavy loads were being transported up and down, where the end stones would have a chance of rolling out of seat. Large stone pieces could also be considered for hardened structures like jails. Think about the stones hauled into place for the various Egyptian sites.

Beautiful brickwork man! Thinking about the process, since you're using hot glue you might get away with doing less cuts. You slice up the layers like you do in the video, then glue them back at an offset. (Instead of cutting the layers to size then gluing them) Then you run that through the hot wire and cut off the back portion. You should be able to cut two sets of stairs with less effort than it takes to cut one in this way.

I see "Fury Of Dracula" - I see you have great taste in board games!

LOVE your content! One question tho: what you are gonna do now that the bottom step of the staircase is below the walkway level? Can't wait for see what you will do next. BRAVO!

Solid trick, now I need hot wire cutter & foam

Thank you! Let me know how it goes!

The stairs look good and the method is indeed easy. The problem with your end product is that miniatures can't stand on them. Obviously if that is important to me I will need to adjust the size of the steps during the cutting.

Stair tutorial at 5:03

What are you cutting the styrofoam with for the stairs?

Are the white stairs EPS foam ?

You presume we wouldn’t watch you lay tiny bricks for hours….who would do that….WE WOULD!

Metro Goldwyn Mayer makes foam now?

@StorycraftSociety

Ha!

And I’m guessing you can make 2 stairs from each cube of foam?

Why is the staircase technique showing up at 4:53 when the video title references how to make staircases? Shouldn't this be at like the first 10-30 seconds?

What is that like $300 Dollars worth of foam ?

Theres No Curbs in Fantasy Land Yo! IF it were some modern Day Format Sure, But No curbs in Mondheim or D&D. Come On Man.

I can't stand to watch most of these videos because they TALK TOO MUCH. Make it brief and then PLEASE SHOW HOW US HOW TO DO THIS!!!

The video title was making miniature still cases easy this person is just running their mouth. I'm not Model railroad building, A grown man gamer
