How to make a Fantasy House out of Cardboard (suitable for D&D, WHFB, Frostgrave, Mordheim) 

Probably the best cardboard build video I have seen. It’s really good to see someone use the classic cardboard method rather than the endless videos out there which all use foam boards. This looks brilliant!

Even after 3 years, this video is gold! I always measured and corrected every millimeter on my dioramas... but why?! Your method is much more relaxed and the building ends up looking much more dynamic. Thanks ! By the way: It's funny (for me as a German) that at 28:19 you opened a French recipe and not a British one... :D Because we think that the French and the British are constantly at odds over their food. :D

Finally something that suits my budget. Looks super effective, too.

0:21 IT'S NOT ENOUGH CARDBOARD. MORE. WE NEED MORE CARDBOARD!!!!!! /j

This is great, pure cardboard, people that work with foam stuff forget that it is not easily available outside of the us and maybe Canada, not that they should limit themselves to use cardboard, but it is by far the cheapest and easiest material to find, and can actually look pretty good with some work and creative technics. A hug from Brazil my friend!

I love the advice of keeping it loose and random. I totally agree with you.

This is great. More pure cardboard structures please.

The roof walls are called gable walls That finished house looks amazing. Top class

Just made a pair of cardboard houses from the tutelage of this video. Taking time to give thanks before heading on to the sand and glue phase.

By fart the most bang for your buck build I've seen. aesthetically appealing, accessible, and the host is easy to follow, and well paced.

Mod Podge is easily available in the UK.

Fantastic. Can’t wait to try!

So probably the first video that shows me as an amateur how easy it actually is to do something like this very good video and very good explaining

I'm starting building one right now

Really enjoyed thus build 👌 I have subbed

the rolls inside at Aluminum foil and the roll inside the Vacuum Seal Saver bags. Very sturdy.

Thanks for the tutorial, my players will like it, a hug from brazil!

I know I'm a little late to the party, but Mod Podge IS available in the UK, but you need to do a little hunting. I tend to get it from Hobbycraft, but everything from there is a little expensive, so if you can find it elsewhere, I'd recommend it.

Really Really miss you in the car month UK I miss your commentary and that way you have of explaining each creation and the passion you put into it. The other guy is ok but he’s not JAMES HALL. 😞

Very nice work.

This is an excellent build video. I get so tired of the mantra that this or than specialist material is available at "your local crafting store". Try living where there is no such store. Or getting a cheap foam board at your local "Dollar Store". Well the equivalent in the UK is, I guess, Poundland. My nearest is 30miles away and do they sell foam board? Have they even heard of it? Nope. I'm amazed I found a hot glue gun at my local hardware store. My only negative comments about the video is (1) you can find additional card such as the back of notepads (referred to as chipboard in the US RU-vid videos - hint in the UK that is a wood product with wood chip bound together with glue and usually covered with a veneer finish) and (2) I find it easier to start with the base and then set the walls against the base to give a more stable and square structure. Oh, and at least from what I have been building the example house was a bit small. I would have probably made it half again as big in terms of its footprint, the height was pretty good though. Final look was superb and an inspiration.

Man a place that had these plans in printable template form sure would be handy. I have been all over the web for some and they are only available in bits and pieces here and there. Everyone has moved to 3d printing and its just not cost effective for this kind of stuff, especially when endless supplies of cardboard shows up on everyone's doorsteps almost daily (Amazon).

Great video. Hopefully you've since found some, but if not - they sell Modge Podge in The Range. :)

Thanks for sharing this great work! If I may give a little tip: for the stucco, instead of sand, I use fine MDF sawdust. Got it for free on furniture workshops

My first ever terrain i built! This was so helpful and i love the result! Thank you mate and i hope that new videos will come 🙏

I loved this video, just what I needed. Just moved to Greenland and can’t get modpodge or xps. So this was perfect. I would love to see you make walls and fences. Tried to use egg carton and cardboard for a wall, but can’t seem to figure it out.

Nice to see you building again. Lovely video to follow.

Amazing work. Your instruction was very refreshing. Im going to make some of this stuff!

Glaint? Plue? Thankfully not Pue. lol Great looking structures! I'm so glad I found this. As I was daunted by some of the more "Engineer quality" builds I've seen. Plus, I can do this in a limited space.

Amazingly simple, and wonderfully detailed. Great build.

This channel is absolutely Awesome. Very helpful for the crafters here in the uk.

This video got 64 000 views! And you promised us a whole village... but that didn't happen, did it? Still, thank you for this amazing video.

Underrated

I love this tutorial! So easy to follow for beginners.

Your door crossbeam is pointing the wrong direction. It's designed to support the door in a particular way, and the point on the top is always above the doorhandle.

you have nice/cool math teacher vibes. 12/10 super cool video :)

Yay ! really nice build , I'm going to slice some cardboard... (the chill tone of the video is nice too )

This is such a great video tutorial. I am following along while trying to build one of my own.

Thankyou for yr time a helping me out as a beginner. Fantastic vid clip. Cheerz Denise W.A

this is impressive

Mod podge is widely available in the UK, any good craft store such as hobby craft, alongside the decoupage supplies and obviously Amazon have it too

I'm in love!

Really fantastic video, shared it on Facebook and hoping it will get some of my non model making friends into having a go. I’ve bought Mod Podge from the Range if you want to buy any.

Aleene's Collage Pauge and Aleene's Premium Decoupage are both available in the U.K. and E.U. as far as I'm aware and I actually prefer Collage Pauge Matte over Mod Podge for basecoating. It's slightly more expensive stateside than Mod Podge but for the results I'm fine with it.

Bought my first lot of hobby craft supplies on the weekend to make a diorama - thanks for sharing will use your handy tips - new sub today. Going to checkout other videos for paint details.

Bro this is the best option

Cardboard is my preferred crafting medium. Because I can get as much as I want for free, and I'm cheap 😅

Love this man had to pause and point out that your crossbeam may be upside down 😮, I think the beam should be with the top side furthest from Hinges to support the weight of the door, like gates

As I watch more tabletop hobbyist content, I'm more and more convinced that people who do these scratch builds are just fancy hoarders 😂 Piece looks great though

You make it look way too easy. Really enjoyed the video. Can’t wait to see the next video… and thanks for sharing 🙂👍👍

Any chance you could share any info on that pikeman miniature? It’s been driving me insane looking for it online. Probably out of print. Excellent content and hope to see more cardboard terrain builds!

Your newest subscriber-for-life thanks you for your channel! Extremely helpful and encouraging!

Great video!!! May I ask what kind of brown spray paint you use? Thank you.

Just finised making this! Can't waint to paint it

Very cool finish , great work as always.

this was genuinely so helpful! thanks so much for this vid! great work

Amazing tutorial. You got me as a subscriber. Imma start binging every video you made.

Nice i love it! Thanks for sharing!

Great video, thanks for the inspiration.

We watched this video a bunch of times! Cannot find it on your RU-vid channel though. Your next one (the ruins made of styrofoam) showed up perfectly. Perhaps there is a setting that we are missing? Good job dear fellow. I will tell all my D&D Canadian friends. Keep up the good stuff, dear chap!

Super cool , iam about to make a board for frost grave this gave me a ton of ideas ! Great job brother !

What a brilliant video! Cheers man

Nice build i prefer to lose the corrugated edges with filler all over the walls makes a nice wattle & daub like texture. Great job tho! 😉👍

What a brilliant, hugely helpful tutorial - thank you so much! Really appreciate the focus on using card instead of foam board etc. If it's any help to know, I've found Modge Podge quite easily in UK craft stores, but Amazon stock the range too.

This is exactly what I needed. I am trying ro build a curvy toon like mausoleum and i keep bettin stumped. This is a great lesson !!!!!!

Looks class..

We can get mod podge at hobby craft now in the UK

Really great, definitely going to steal some tips from this especially sand for filling gaps! I think I've spotted Mod Podge available in hobbycraft before? Though that's not very useful at the minute!

Great stuff. Thank you/.

i love this

You are my hero.

Love it!!

👌👌👌

This is the best Video i Seen so far! Simple and fun to watch, keep Up the good Work! I used for the wooden parts Coffee Sticks, i Had great results with it.

You forgot the cutting board

Nice!

Mod podge is available in the UK I get mine from Amazon.

good~~

I'll be sure to watch this later!! At work now can't wait to see what you do with this!

Just to let you know you can get mod podge in the works and hobbycraft 😊

What type of knife are you using?

Curious as to why you say "we don't have access to modge podge here in the uk" I've been buying modgepodge for years, available from a variety of craft stores and amazon

Hey man this is helping me a lot! I’m actually making cardboard dnd terrain for my oneshot coming up. I currently have the floor as tiles but I really want to make that sand effect in the grooves and some on top, kind of like the tiles poking out of the sand. Question is should I use mod podge in between the cracks and then sprinkle sand on in or do the PVA glue like you did in the video (sorry if it’s a dumb question I’ve never used either so just wondering 😅) Also would mixing the mod podge+ watery black paint have the same effect as the PVA and paint?

i saw your drawings :)

just started a new board for 40k of a feudal world these, kinda fantasy houses with tech gribbles all over them

Hobbycraft sells modpodge:)

TWO YEARS, wheres my city? Actual only subscribed yesterday......Still sulking there are only 2 videos :( lol

Where is the spearmen from? I need him....lol

You know that hobby craft sell MOGPOG. They sell a load of different ones

Hey bud it's curtis nelson, the patreon you have been trying to contact. how do we get into contact you, I've been trying. LOL

You says you don’t have access to “Modge Podge” in UK, but it’s actually called MOD PODGE perhaps your been looking for the wrong thing?!

You mentioned you're in the UK but your intonation sounds Australian, are you an aussie or do you just watch too much bondi rescue?

Modpog is just playing glue w water

Awesome thanks!
