@TheSpartan238 4 года назад

I considered doing a graveyard as one big set piece but you’ve convinced me that scatter terrain is the was to go. I really like the scatter terrain builds you do and I’d love to see a whole series of smallish scatter terrain videos done in your style. Another great video my friend, keep up the excellent work, we’ll see you next Friday.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Thank you Marty! I'm slowly working on these small scatter terrain videos as the channel progresses. I have a lot of ideas. I think the individual gravestones are the way to go too. The ability to place just one or a bunch in one spot is always a nice thing.

@thecraftingbrothers9448 4 года назад

I wish I had your patience and carving skills. These tiny projects are hard for me, but I loved every minute of it!

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Give one a go. You can always use it as part of a larger build. I had a few I missed on my desk that I'll incorporate into something at some point. Larger builds on the horizon :)

@KylaraKuhn 4 года назад

Heh.. this is the kind of video I like.. I was planning on making those tombstones from Foam. Perhaps that will work but greenstuff seems the better way to go. I will definitely try it out. Thanks for a simple idea that is very well shown (yes, the quality of your video editing makes it super too)

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Kylara Kuhn You got it. I made some out of foam but they didn’t have the durability or quality the green stuff had. They didn’t make the cut :)

@chadtompkins2282 3 года назад

My favorite grave stone is the one that you made open on top. I really like how you added the water effect to the inside. It really helps sell the rainy night look you were going for.

Thanks, yeah it had a real "Return of the Living Dead" feel.

@swashbuckle9856 4 года назад

For those who suck at proportioning like me I've found a neat little tip for forming the green stuff. I use a thin piece of glass from a segmented coffee table. I cut the shape I'm wanting with paper and tape it under the glass. It helps me and it might help someone else. Great video!

Nice job on them. But you did one of them backwards, and that's the one with the skeleton coming out of the ground. His head would have been at the end with the cross. But still thay turned out nice. Keep up the good work you are doing.

@josephskiles 4 года назад

Very cool video! Having a surplus of lolheadstones is always extremely useful! I made several years ago but they are not as cool as yourself! Personally I made mine from limestone rocks. I found stones in my driveway washed them then threw them in the rock tumbler over night ( I have one because I reload bullets). I then take a perm marker and trace out the graphics, use a dremel to carve it then it's back in the rock tumbler , repeat until they are done

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Can't get much more realistic than that. Very cool.

@josephskiles 4 года назад

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT yeah but what you get in authenticity you suffer for in variety, I like your method a lot better. I'm just incredibly cheap, I constantly look at trash to try and repurpose it for game terrain bud. Recently I have been saving a bunch of large coffee creamer plastic cans ( I drink a lot of coffee) and have been toying around with some ideas for using them as guard shacks,a circular staircase or possibly a small shrine. Regardless I use the lids off them constantly for bases . I just made a dilapidated bridge recently going over a river using a lid, some paint, a couple rocks, some bush clippings that made nice bushes/trees, some gorilla glue, super glue, and some mulberry branches left over from after I had given them to my 🐐 goat to eat the Leaves and it turned out pretty cool

@cberg2731 4 года назад

I enjoy your videos. Just wanted to let you know you can buy miniature tombstones for dirt cheap. Saves you the time of actually making them by hand.

@craft-o-matic2377 3 года назад

I would love to see you create some medieval tomb effigies, with hand carved dead persons for the effigies. Would be difficult to do with extruded foam, so, polymer clay or green stuff would probably be best. It certainly would be a challenging project. Worth a shot?

@coleyounger8655 4 года назад

It may just be my personal aesthetic, but have you tried using the files to get crisp edges on worked stonework like those gravestones? I usually see it done with brown stuff rather than green because it seems to hold edges better, but i was curious if you have tried any of that? and did you find it worthwhile?

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

You can definitely get some really nice edges with a file using Green Stuff. The nice thing about making them this way is that you have a really nice edge already by making them on the glass. I actually used a file in the video to round that edge.

@CollegeofLoreRoleplaying 4 года назад

It's so relaxing watching you make these. I love the finished look once you apply the dry brushing! It really adds that extra something! -Jill

@tinemaertens6663 4 года назад

another great tutorial John ! love it :) a little tip I learned in the acadamy for letting clay dry whitout cracks : let it dry slowly so cover it up with an plastic foil , not wrapping but just covering so the dryproces get delayed (specially for bigger projects !) :) love your work !

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Excellent tip Tine, thank you! :)

@andygorman858 4 года назад

Awesome scatter terrain idea! I really liked the one with the skull inside the fresh dig hole and water effects! Loving these vids where you make smaller stuff that can be thrown into the scenario to add interest.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Thanks Andy. Yeah, I love to make pieces that give me the most options. The ability to scatter these stones around is really nice instead of building a large graveyard board with all permanent gravestone locations.

@creaturescavernscrafting2929 4 года назад

Yet another brilliant little build. Your details are next to none( maybe Max DM) your pieces are always so cool! I hope ur friends that play with you appreciate you super builds. The black cat on the tombstone was so neat! Just little things like that make your channel AWESOME!

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

i mix miliput with green stuff makes it easier to work with and they dry harder

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the tip.

@andrewtate4897 4 года назад

something I've also discovered is that if you want to make and underframe for a small sculpture like your rat, instead of using the pen end you can roll tiny pieces of miliput together to form you basic shape let that cure over night then next day with a mix of Miliput and greenstuff (you can play with the mix of that too to make it more or less flexible) you can lay your details over the top. although I've now switched to procreate for that as it holds detail better

@mykediemart 4 года назад

Where the magnets at? I was almost disappointed. I really like the use of a magnet to hold the piece your working on. I use washers to add weight to a lot of things I try make, making a painting handle with one is a great idea (stealing it). Did you use a regular magnet or something stronger?

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 4 года назад

Hey Myke, I'm glad I didn't disappoint :) If you check the description I added the exact magnets I used to the Amazon Affiliate links.

Coffee works but for this scale you need to regrind until it works for your project. Even more important, though, is making sure it’s REALLY dried out because you could end up with tufts of mold instead.
