Roads? Deserts? What do you mean "Both"? 

Words cannot express how delighted I was to see a BDG reference in one of my favorite crafting series. It's only natural, of course-this channel has the sort of iconic brand that only Hugh Brandity could inspire.

The project is awesome, but your video editing and filming are phenomenal! Very inspiring!

You really step up the editing with each episode! I really liked it, looks awesome. 👍Lemme just scribble "desert tiles" on the crafting to do list as well... * sigh * Can't wait for the desert scatter, keep up the good work!

Your videos deserve wayyyy more attention

your videos give me such joy.

doing research and planning terrian builds... you got me with the puns! I think I'm as excited for the puns as design ideas!

It took me about 2.5 seconds to catch the Gobi desert pun at the beginning and it set me off with the giggles for the rest of the video. Nice!

Hey, I just wanted to say I love these videos, and I am excited to see your up and coming videos on desert scatter terrain! That being said, I was really looking forward to seeing your take on roads to incorporate into my forest terrain I have been making based on your last videos, and I personally feel that this video doesn't do your talents justice. I like how you showed that you can use desert terrain as roads and that is great, but I find that in this case it doesn't look as good as if you just made a video for forest roads specifically to use with your forest terrain. For example, having to layer forest terrain on top of large desert tiles makes it so you have to create a lot of desert tiles to put under all the forest terrain pieces so it is even, which means you have to put in a lot of extra time for a lot of pieces, have to double up on all the terrain on top of each other which feels bulky, and the divide between sand tiles and dirt tiles doesn't look very good from the side in my opinion. Plus, having to use pebbles to cover up the gaps between the road and forest tiles adds a lot of extra steps (like set up, clean up, etc.) that doesn't seem bad at first but can be annoying if you are having to transport your terrain to places to play with groups. Also, if you want to just lay the forest tiles on top of the desert tiles just in the areas you want a road to avoid having to make/bring all the desert tiles, it leaves a slanted look that doesn't feel very complete. I feel like if you made modular terrain for roads specifically, it would make it all look more seamless and put together, and cut out a lot of the extra pieces you would need compared to using desert tiles as roads. Anyway, I love your content and I think this is a great video for desert tiles, but I really think you can do better when it comes to forest road tiles. You have a lot of talent, definitely more than me! Thanks for the content and I look forward to more videos in the future :)

Just fantastic. The video start was fun.

Whoa, hello editing magic! Every step forward your channel takes is delightful :)

Really good. Thanks!!!

Your editing is top!

Amazing as always!!

I am absolutely allured by your alliteration and attention to authenticity! I am just getting started with terrain building and your videos are by far my favourite (although all of you have aspects I will incorporate into my builds), not only for craft quality, but your realism is the best, your transitions are perfection, and your video editing and word play make these such an absolute joy to watch! Thank you, this video has given me a few ideas but I suspect you've already anticipated those and I will be eagerly anticipating your next video!

Can't wait for scatter!

Channel needs a least 30k subs so underrated

Another great video as usual!

I imagine one could also combine this with the previous River video to make some cool looking beaches

I've been trying to create tiles a lot like yours ever since covid. Your videos give me even more motivation to continue. Thank you.

Really cool 👍

Always nice to see your videos,your puns and your take on tiles it's the one i like the most (before yours RP archives was my go to)

Excellent work as always!

A wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Wet paint roller makes that sand effect a lot quicker

Oh my eyes!!! I think I pulled something with all the extreme pun-inducing eye-rolling. Good job!!!

Awesome!

Everything so perfect and beautiful. Thank you so much for all of your inspiration and your great edited videos 😱 I want more 🙈 keep on the fantastic work

Great looking project!

Another soothing, informative and inspirational video - great work! I'm most appreciative of your noodling around how to tackle larger tiles 👏🏼

Gotta say...stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago and subbed - love your work, it's really well done!

I love seeing the knife technique to add texture! I used this method to add texture to my water tiles, which were made by laying drywall compound on top of XPS and then creating peaks of various stiffness and moisture levels with a pallet knife. Paint was what really sold them as water, though. I've never seen anyone else try this approach, and I love seeing it in basically the opposite setting (desert instead of ocean, with great results!).

The videos just keep getting better and better.

Unreal work. So cool. Clear and concise, beautiful end product, and a snappy video that's fun and entertaining. You can really see the passion come through in your work, thanks for sharing it!

I have a campaign full of desert and savannah and am wondering how much of it I'll ever reuse, thanks for the inspiration!!

Your stuff looks so good. I've been building the RP Archive tiles, but I borrow some of your techniques and design ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Great video

Will the next video cover dunes? There's this old Heavy Gear fan magazine, "Aurora", that had a great entry for making model dunes. If you lookup "Aurora Silhouette Magazine"(issue 3.5, pages 17-19) you'll see a fantastic dune guide. I betcha one of those dune hills would be fantastic in one of the larger modilar tiles!

2x1 terrain, in discount! Jokes apart, it looks awesome! I cant wait for see the dessert scatter

I'd love to see some Dessert terrain, for use in candyland scenarios.

Well thank you for a wonderful video. Thinking that if I wanted a snow scape I could go the soft sand approach but spray white and blue. Inspiring a return to Frostgrave...😊

You have a great voice

heat gun works too for divots

👌👌👌

Pun counter!

I’m subscribing solely for the puns

may be a dumb idea, but what about mixing the sand mix IN the sand glue?

Been enjoying your work! QQ on these, did you consider applying a matt varnish at the end just to seal in the washes or is that unnecessary/risks changing the final look?

Just wondering, why not just add the sand to the sand glue?

One of those messages was asking for 'dessert'. So, I guess they won't be satisfied until you use Sponge Fingers and a packet of Lemon Meringue Pie mix on a 6x6 tile..?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

My favourite dessert is apple pie

What colour is the sandless tile grout?

Hi Raechel. You are so amazing! We want to send you 3D printer.Please let me know if you are interesting in trying them.:)

These look great, very granular. 😬 Also, have you thought of doing any video 'sands' puns? Off-topic/mildly related: I was on Mount Desert Island (home of Acadia NP) yesterday and it looked nothing like these tiles! 🤓

project is great but those transitions though

Meh
