The swirling is called scumbling and it is a blending technique used to hide lines in brush strokes. This is particular useful for painting with a square brush.
I've seen all your works, but I'm leaving a comment for the first time. Your work always looks lovely.! It's soft and sentimental. And I love the irregular hills of Hobbit House.
I did the EXACT same thing with my temple of Anubis diorama a few weeks ago... coated the entire thing in black mod podge only to then paint every square inch of that beast light tan. Half way through I was like hmmm, I probably could have just used tan mod podge... Anyways, another great video as usual!
everytime you post i'm like "oh this is going to be cool, he's so good at doing small details" and then i sit here amazed bc its always even more minute than i expected... and you still get such intricate details! the door knob is THE HEAD OF A PIN its so tiny i can't even
"If any of you pass by the Bag end... Tea's at four. There's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime.. Oh,and.. Don't bother knocking" Bilbo best character ♥
I just LOVE every project of yours, but your humor really keeps me wanting more. That part with the tree made me laugh so damn hard. Keep doing what you do!
I am still amazed how in each of your videos you start the build, and my reaction is "How the heck is this going to work?" then by the time you're done I'm blown away with how great they look and how intricate the details can be. Thank you for the mini lesson on alcohol and glue in this video. It never occurred to me before why you do it, but explaining it now it makes complete sense. Great job!
Hey, I start a lot of these things thinking almost the exact same thing, "how the hell is this gonna work..." And you're welcome! It's one of those things that's always shown/done but rarely explained!
@@NorthoftheBorder On another note, when I first got the gag with your bloody fingers from the wire tree reminded me of my all time favorite meme video "Blood?!? Not funny!" Also "It must be difficult to make a hobbit hill out of Styrofoam." "Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience"
Bring a Bob Ross painting into 3D? Very interesting. The humor in this is hilarious. Think I might need to subscribe so I don't lose track of the channel
I truly don't know how you manage to top each of your builds. I keep thinking "this is the best one yet", and then you release a new video and outdo yourself. Amazing work Adam
@@NorthoftheBorder it is not only the building part which gets progressively better, your skills at making entertaining videos, are increasing rapidly as well.
I was so excited to see another video from you! Absolutely love your work, including your brilliant editing. Had me in tears laughing at the tree building.
I love _everything_ about this. The sound design, the puns, the fine irony, the educational value, the narration, the blood, sweat and tears,... *everything.* Mostly the blood, really. ...oh, and the build is cool, too.
Watching you put the amount of time and effort into each teeny tiny detail makes me wanna strive to be even better at everything I do. Thanks for being an inspiration all the time!! :))
This is incredible .I love all the tiny details that bring it to life.The tree looks so realistic too and it does look just like it’s meant to.your talent never ceases to amaze me 😊
This was some fine work! That static-y grass is ✨magical✨stuff, and so is your beautiful tree, despite the 🩸BLooDY🩸MesS🩸that were your hands. Lol. You have patience galore, Adam!!!
I believed the first 2-3 'blood spots' but after that I realised the joke. This is why i like your videos so much, your not only skilled but you also make the videos funny to watch.
My 10 year old son loves your videos! He came across this one and sent it to me as I am the only one in our family that likes Tolkien. This was so fun to watch! I really appreciate the attention to detail!
I love the sound effects and comedy just as much as learning how the madness leads to your amazing creations. You can't see it, but I'm giving a standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That is what makes a true mason. Cobble stone is to be pieced together individually. Not conveniently, but artistically. Love your work Bro. No H8 at all.
Heeey, how holey are your hobbit holes getting (weird sentence)? You've spoiled us with stuff like the fully interiored Tavern, so I'm expecting literally big things.
@@NorthoftheBorder Yeah buddy! You could say they're some holey holes lol. And thanks man, that tavern is till sitting on my shelf unfinished but is officially penciled in on my schedule for completion, finally. But yeah, hobbit holes galore on their way!
The lung cancer haze had me. The One Strike Filler gag had me pml "The Tit". Then the tree making had me ROF in a puddle of my own wee. I really needed this today. Thank you
Stumbling across your channel early on a Sunday morning here in sunny old England, UK. You are brilliantly talented. AND hilarious! Can't wait to watch the rest of your vids! Thank you, Lizzie x
Thank you.... thank you very much! I was just saying this morning that my computer monitor could use a generous spay of coffee whilst laughing my arse off..... LUV the tree making, Amigo ! 🤣🤣☕🤣🤣
had to pause the video on the part where he was making the trees to comment about how i love all of the over exaggerated sound effects that are edited into this video. literally made it even more enjoyable and amusing to watch. now, On To The Rest Of The Video!
The final model was very impressive. Skill set and explanations are clear and amusing. The Dario Argento edit of the tree making section was an added bonus.
@@NorthoftheBorder I liked the fact that you took a diversion into the area of education with the explanation and the video addition of why isopropyl alcohol is used when applying stuff!!! . Feel that reciprocal appreciation is necessary.
@@NorthoftheBorder Ah, a true artist. I do the same thing myself with digital art, delete entire layers because they didn't work as I expected, and never let anyone know they existed. It may still look terrible at the end, but they will never know how bad it could have been. :P
I love your humorous narration and the dry, dead-pan delivery. I've watched far too many sped up silent tutorials, so your witty dialogue is always a very welcome change of pace.
I have now watched a handful of your videos. They fly by. Good walk through as. And you provide some chuckles without necessarily intending to. Also good job installing the light BEFORE you finished the project and had to cut it in half.
This is my favourite build I’ve ever seen EVER! It is so beautiful and the detailing is just absolutely jaw dropping...I love everything LOTR that you do, but this is just so special!
A good tip to save leftover static grass, when you’re vacuuming it, but a clean sock over the end of the vacuum cleaner to collect and reuse the extra grass 😊
Used to be a professional model maker for wargame terrain stores back home. When you do the vacuuming and brushing to recover the excess static grass, you can put a piece of pantyhose over the tube to recover it and reuse at a later date.
Lung cancer 😂😂😂 On a serious note this is bomb I must copy you and have one of my own... You have the patience of Gandalf when he speaks in riddles and just waits for everybody to figure it out 🧙♂️
I wasn't going to watch the entire video, just get the idea behind what you're selling, but had to watch the entire thing due to your humor. Subscribed too. All due to your humor.
First video by this guy I have seen. Had it on in the background and did a double take with the hand injuries scene.... Subbing for the sense of background humour alone. Good work!
