The first 10 minutes I was like: men, this is kinda wack. The moment you added the dry brush and the copper color, it completely changed the look of it. Nice job

Dry brushing is actual magic

I imagine the dwarves put the gravel up there to give them traction on frozen battlements. This keep is likely high in the mountains and no one wants to slip off one during icy conditions.

National Ethic Pride, try making an Aztec step pyramid . Just don't try to make all of the walking stair case. Way too many steps to cut and glue. Have a good new year with many fun games.

@johannesjacome7539 4 года назад

@@krispalermo8133 I've actually done one before. I saw this styrofoam disposable cooler in a Walmart. If you put it upside down it resampled a pyrimide. So I bought it and made a bunch of foam paper bricks to cover it in. It was for the BBEG of the campaign.

@harlandmountain7998 4 года назад

For covering the open corrugation (as well as mistake made with hot-glue), if you wanted the whole keep to look like rough stone, use water and PVA glue and cover the cardboard completely with toilet paper. Once it's fully dried give a base coat of dark gray and matte modge-podge (about 50-50 mix). From there you have two paths open to you: Limestone/Sandstone: Heavy dry brush of Yellow and a brown wash with a very light dry brush of light-gray. Or Granite: Heavy dry brush of light gray with light dry brush of off-white. Brown wash optional.

@VikingFyre 4 года назад

Great craft, always happy to see more dwarf builds, but if I may offer some suggestions? 1: Cover the corrugation as you go rather than at the very end. With so many pieces at odd angles, especially since this craft is one large piece, it would save you a lot of hassle before final assembly. 2: I would consider doubling the thickness of any walkways, if only because you never know if someone will bring a bulky metal miniature that could warp it, or worse, fall over and break.

Putting the dried bark in a pepper or salt grinder turns out some nice, fine particulates if you do want something of a smaller grade too.

@pebblesthecat3625 3 года назад

I like the colour scheme and how it all came together at the end. You definitely need a dungeon or cave system now that leads from an underground gate in that Dwarven castle, possibly leading to the Temple you made a few weeks ago !

I've never got into D&D, but at the ripe old age of 23, I really want to now. And the cardboard methods you showed were so simple, I can see myself doing it - it's just the painting aspect, it's pretty expensive to get a wide variety of paints and brushes

@TeaPoweredModels 4 года назад

Great job! Love the simplicity of cardboard - I always find it useful building a quick cardboard model to prototype complex structures before moving on to XPS. Filling holes you could try a thin layer of plaster or drywall filler.

You can also use drywall mud to seal the holes and gaps is you don't mind wiping the walls down with a SLIGHTLY damp cloth or paper towel afterwards (maybe after the first base-coat of paint has dried to provide a better barrier). A great build any dwarf would be proud to call home!

@xironbeastx8677 4 года назад

You ever see those old german bunkers made of concrete, where you can see the imprint of the wood timbers that formed the mold, that effect looks like the cardboard effect on this model, looks like the dwarves made the structure out of timbers and filled it with concrete, then took the timbers down and added more dwarven stuff, but didn’t have the chance to fully complete the aesthetics process before the war came.
