The shingles look like dragon scales🥰🤩 I really like the blue.

@BardsCraft 4 года назад

Yeah I knew they would look good :) a bit like the scales on the first blue dragon I made

@jamierobinson2338 4 года назад

Lol, I literally said the same thing. I LOVE it!!

@innpeasea5121 4 года назад

Dude, it looks great. Don't be so hard on your self, you are the reason why I started building minis.

@BardsCraft 4 года назад

Thanks! I know it's not bad but I hyped myself too much while seeing it unpainted so I expected more :D

@astrobouncer487 4 года назад

@@BardsCraft I agree with InnPea you are too hard on your self man, it looks great. Also, I love your humor it pretty much matches mine so I watch for that reason too. Keep up the great videos, I plan on starting up a crafting video series showing my techniques with recycled foam and I hope you will like it.

@SylviaFey 3 года назад

Your channel and NerdForge are the ones that got me into making dioramas and book nooks. Now, every box is a potential diorama or book nook. I didn't throw anything away hardly ever before, NOW, I just don't throw anything away. LOL

@shadohpanther 4 года назад

You are absolutely my favorite crafter on youtube!

@Carpetcleanerman 4 года назад

No mistakes have been made here. Happy incidents i call them. In my book thats a fantastic build! And the shingle roof looks super cool. Thank you for uploading evem though you might be a bit unhappy about it. We are amazed and love it! Also: no oats were harmed during this build!

@FaramirTheGeek 4 года назад

Hello! I watch a lot of your videos and when you made the mention of not finding well priced glue-sticks I thought why don't I help with that with patreon. Hope to keep seeing more of your videos, cheers for the content so far! Would love if you snapped a few photos from your D&D campaigns to share on your website as well

@leadbadger9543 4 года назад

I think it's pretty good, and a trick for the hot glue, keep a little water handy and wet your fingers so it doesn't stick and burn! Great vid!

@crossfire507pty 3 года назад

looks amazing. As a crafter i can tell you we are the only ones who notice the mistakes. Looks great. I will start building my temple soon.

@Mommamacnz 4 года назад

I love how this temple looks. And that it's all built from cardboard - I love that you use such simple easy to find things to make amazing terrain and creatures out of. I have hope that one day I can do some for myself (I have to get my work area to a stage I can use it for that as at the moment it is working as a support structure for piles of stuff I don't know where to store).

@sarawildheart8386 4 года назад

I love the shingles they look like dragon scales too

@CL30 4 года назад

I love how much work you put into your crafts! Also farm more watch time! I'm fine watching you craft more, especially when I finally get un-lazy and make my own terrain.

@thorgoan 4 года назад

dude this is great! A really good terrain from trash, ive seen so much cool terrains that are supposed to be made from trash, but you will need tousands of specific stuff so it looks good, instead, you maek this out of garbage and its sooooo good looking. Keep it up!

@lauramiller1061 2 года назад

I love your videos. You have a great sense of humor and make me laugh out loud. I agree with the prior commentor. Your building looks fantastic. I really liked your techniques and that you state what ideas you were happy with and what you would do differently. I had a thought about your decorative strips. Ir you covered them with painters tape you could peal it off after the texture and they woul be smooth. I think the parts that you thought were not quite right add to the realism. I think sometimes people get so caught up in perfection that they forget that real buildings are not perfect. Especially old buildings.

@KertRingeling 4 года назад

If you see the starting materials at the begining and the outcome in the end, it went far beyond my expectations. its awesome. Good job.

@knubson 4 года назад

I think your final product looks good. I'll definitely will build it too. :)

@King-ci8sk 2 года назад

unreal. you're extremely talented my friend

@Lukas-un4tm 4 года назад

Love how the roof turned out, especially with the paint! When you need straight lines of shingles like for this build you could try cutting rows of them to glue on as a strip. Guaranteed straight rows, plus it saves a bunch of time glueing

@tiny-grimes 4 года назад

@BardsCraft 4 года назад

Thanks! I know its good to upload slight disappointments sometimes. We can get overwhelmed by looking at too beautiful and complicated crafts.

@orthoff123 4 года назад

You did a very good job! It looks very good! Good creative ideas. I do not work very much with cardboard for my buildings, it is not my favorite material. But as I said, you did a very very good job! Greetings from Germany...

@michasowik2438 4 года назад

Man that is a really neat piece of work. I really like it and I don't think it is messy. I think it is very... Æsthetic :D And of course You show that making miniature terrain is not anything of expensive.

@arthaiser 4 года назад

even if the walls dont look good (in my opinion, they do look good enough on camera at least) the roof if anything saves the building anyway because is simply great, in design, and colour.

@f0k054 4 года назад

I love the inspiration you bring to the crafting community, and the message that you don't need expensive stuff to create great buildings

@vonries 4 года назад

That's the reason I like this channel so much. Not everyone can afford or even want to afford a proxon hot wire cutter. Sure they do a great job, but for that kind of money they better. I liked your way better: anyone can get the materials, and even more important anyone can cut your material. Plus, you not only get a like, but this is my third or fourth post on this video alone. RU-vid loves comments. Best of all you are not always begging for money. Thank you for such a great channel.

@CrankyPantss 4 года назад

F0k0 I agree with you. If your goal is to create the most authentic looking buildings, maybe all of that expensive stuff and perfect measurements might help. If your goal is just to build cool looking props to add to the tabletop experience, this is a great way to go. This way looks like it's more fun to do, too.

@scubaguymi 4 года назад

That looks fantastic. You amaze me with your simple materials and epic builds. Great looking buildings built inexpensively. Keep up the good work!

pulls out a kitchen knife instead of a craft knife "The Kitchen Knife is so much more satisfying" ---- a minute later whips out a fracking sword to make a cut and says nothing! Brilliant.

You are probably the only person that could ever put up an 18 minute long youtube tutorial for an epic build using nothing but leftover scraps just to proudly say it looks like shit at the end. It looks good my man, maybe a more white or grey base coat for the stonework to emulate limestone.

those shingles would look amazing in a dragon bones temple. good result with simple material. that's why i prefer this channel over others that have gone crazy with magnets and resin stuff have you tried a metal wire brush on the cardboard?

@BardsCraft 4 года назад

I shall take notes of the dragon bone temple, sounds like a cool project :)

That roof was sick! But like many others have pointed out, the rest of the build was really good as well! Many times we as creators are the worst critics and I hope that you can find some comfort in our unanimous hype with this building and the rest of your builds! Keep this stuff coming man! Eat more oats!

@AFarmerCalledChicken 4 года назад

If you can find push pins or small nails, you can use them to pin the cardboard together while it dries.

@zealman18 4 года назад

I thought it came out amazing man, the roof is incredible! Nothing wrong with the wall color or texture in my opinion, all around sick build. Keep up the great work

@tiny-grimes 4 года назад

I would suggest to try putty (for walls), white it is not dried yet, you can add some cool texture on it. Putty will make cardboard a lot harder and sturdier. Plus, you can also add brick texture using brick template

@onlykafei 4 года назад

just started really watching your channel :) do you have a reddit? It would be awesome to share everyone's creations!

@j453 4 года назад

I would really love a short video where you show us your favorite ways to prepare all these oats you eat. Edit: I'll share one of mine. I live in very hot area, so I like cold oats alot. I rinse raisins, then drain them ( i don't like getting grit in my raisins) then I put the oats, the raisins, a bit of apple sause, greek yogurt, milk and cinnamon in a sealable container shake it up and leave it in the fridge over night. In the morning I've got delicious cold oats.

@earthmanbrick 4 года назад

Great work, man. I usually make up textured paint (with sand or sawdust), that way it saves you an extra step (I've got a video on it) Don't worry too much about making little mistakes here & there.... Instead, cover them up with little added details/features (eg, glue on some haphazard coffee stirrers to look like there's been some makeshift repairs) by adding things like weathering, moss, bird's nests, vines, dirt, flock, tufts, etc.. Another brilliant video. Well done

@machinenoise9622 4 года назад

Great job! I'm happy you just "eye-balled it" because it looks more organic that way. Too many other crafters are often busy with exact measurements which makes the craft tedious instead of fun. 👍🏻

@justinfarkas 4 года назад

Roof looks great! The overall build is pretty nice. I think color of walls should be either green, or orange yellow. I think green would look best tho. And maybe yellow gold dry brush on top. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your budget conscious builds!

@norcalonline1 4 года назад

You're too hard on yourself, buddy. This is great! For just using cardboard and oats packaging, this turned out wonderfully. It should be most excellent for a DnD game. I'm sure your friends appreciate the creativity that you bring to the tabletop. Thanks for sharing your tips, tricks, and techniques. Cheers, --Bo

@Sovann_the_Mighty 4 дня назад

This looks great! I always worry about my works not being good enough, not perfect, but the here you are, adjusting things on the fly, and the results are amazing! A tip for shingles I got from another video, you can cut an entire strip of those, but keep them attached to the strip with about 0.5-1cm left, then just glue the entire strip on the roof! You can alternate patterns to have an interlocking look or something. Saves a lot of time of individually glueing the shingles to the roof. Try it for the next work!

Funny, but everything I build is slightly crooked too, must be my lifelong aversion to measuring 😂 I love this, I have been wondering how to build a Medieval Fantasy chapel for my diorama and this seems to pretty much fit the bill. Thanks. Oh amazing, you also solved my problem of a tower that I need to use as a primitive observatory. I am saving this and you got a new sub😊 I really love the roof as it looks like dragon scales which fits my theme.

@wolvar6933 3 года назад

Man I wish we were going back into a lockdown. All I want to do is build terrariums and a cardboard city for toys in my kids play room. Awesome build brother. We have built a few cardboard cities / castles, but you do it with style. I have Oct - March for the cardboard city (winters off is the best part of my job, But I have money coming in and wife makes bank, so no my children are not living in squalor.). Edit- Love the idea of using cereal box cardboard for rooves. Smart.

@CrankyPantss 4 года назад

I'm sorry that you're not happy with the outcome. I think it all looks very cool. As always, I'm impressed with your vision for turning card stock and cardboard into such cool structures and minis. So many people are just copying the same builds using the same exact foam, paints, and fancy cutter tools. You are making unique builds from your own imagination and basic supplies. That is praiseworthy, Bard buddy. Very well done.

@prnzali2010 4 года назад

Bard's Craft - I had to comment: brother you did a great job! Don't best yourself up!! Maybe next time if the video goes longer and you're trying something new, include us your loyal viewers, so we can comment and post suggestions along the way. Thank you for your videos and inspiration ;)

Are your hot glue guns 7mm or 12mm? I picked up a lot of both 'clear' and coloured long glue sticks (20-25cm) a while ago and would love to send you some. Alternately, you could approach Surebonder or other manufacturer and see if they would sponsor your channel as 'partners'.
