The SHACK! Made from Styrofoam for Tabletop Gaming 

You guys! I just realized after uploading this that it is the 150th Episode! And that's 150th episode, not video......I've put up 230 videos to date that include Reviewsday vids and whatnot, but ACTUAL FULL FRIDAY EPISODES this is 150! That's crazy!

when I watch these kind of videos with basements and hobby desks like these, full of shelves with miniatures and scenery, and plenty of paints, tools and who knows what else, I WANT TO CRY.

Pro-Tip: Don't go into the basement and under no circumstance read from the strange book you may find there...

Definitely, DEFINITELY this is the kind of video I prefer! You release all your passion and enthusiasm, I can see: well done!!! If this is the result of the fact that you will never make your reviews Tuesdays again, then it's great! Go on like this, Jeremy: I'll follow you until you have a million subscribers and more! Never stop! Cheers!

Thanks for not editing out all the problems faced during construction. What a great build. Glad I was along for the ride and congrats with continued success.

I loved the leap of faith in cutting apart the building "Let's... just.... do THIS!? Aaaah!" Came together super well. Was wondering how many projects have you taken a risk like this but screwed up so badly that it's not salvageable? There's always lots of honest mistakes and experimentation in your videos but the work always comes together, would be interested to know how often it doesn't and you just have to scrap hours of work. Or do you find most things can be recovered?

Inside, the shack is slick and spotless, and _bulging_ with fancy technology.

The damage and weathering look absolutely fantastic! Remember, If you craft something and it accidentally breaks, you just made it better!

Love it... I was getting more of an "Evil Dead" vibe from it.

It looks so GOOD!! My favorite part of your vids is when you show us really up close shots so I can see the intricate details of wood grain and weathering strokes.

It is... THE SHACK

10/10 would live in that shack

I checked out where the inspiration for this shack came from last weekend, and yep, it's entirely gone. Which is testament to BMC's craft and memory as to how well he recreated this ancient farm home. It was a landmark on a prairie roadtrip for many years. I did take photos of many others that were around the same area and will be posting them in the facebook group. Cheers.

Very well done. As someone that explores abandoned houses/building quite often, I do have a few suggestions for such builds. 1) Walls with doors ALWAYS have a window on the main floor. Even 200 yr old buildings. 2) There are almost never any dead plants outside the structure. 3) Moss is not often seen. It's usually ivy of some type. The older the building's abandonment, the more ivy. 4) Weeds and trees seem to love growing throw windows. Especially of the tree is growing from the inside of the building. 5) If possible, include carpenter bees and wasp nest. As well as bird nests. As well as leftover (and damaged) items found in the building. But place them outside. Abandoned buildings are always ransacked by vandals. Regardless of the time period. You can find a few of my abandoned photos on instagram @SEspider. But I suggest looking up ThisIsDanBell on youtube. And his Dead Motel series. Keep up the great work.

awesome build. I really like your approach to physically break the entire building. Great stuff really inspiring.

I'm stunned how this turned out, nevermind the technical aspects, just your ability to visualize something before you put knife to foam is off the damn charts. Sweet!

He protect He attack But most importantly He make The SHACK

This video has taught me something I have been struggling so hard to find. Weathered almost bleached wood. I have Skaven war machines that I want to look like rotten driftwood. And now I know how to do it. Thank you!

I'm so inspired watching your videos. I remember being a small child and trying to build houses out of cardboard boxes or whatever I could find. I think it's time for my adult self to follow up on those projects!

Love this build! So glad to see different bigger projects again, one of my fav house builds you’ve done along with the hut :)

one thing that is missing is a plant that has climbed over the building up to the roof, either left or right of the shack , because since you have plants, vines that climb walls usually take hold of a place like this....Overall fantastic job and inspiration

Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for the all the work you have displayed. It is very educational and inspiring!

One of my favorite videos that you have made. I love how on the fly everything is. Also the time lapse of your work was cool to watch. Keep it up brother you're the man.

Loved this build. Seeing the "mistakes", and how you overcame or resolved them is encouraging. Wonderful little shack.

Love the shack! Also enjoy the turntable of the final shots at the end.

I'm so glad you showed up in my Recommended, this is so beautiful and I can't wait to see what else you have made and will make. Subscribed!

Idk if this would count as that or not, but you should do a "scrap challenge" where you ONLY use scrap cutouts from other projects. I think it would compliment your "dollar store challenge". (Obviously just a suggestion. You do whatever you want. Love your content 😊)

This is one of my favorite builds. Kind if reminds me of one if the dilapidated shacks I see on the way up to Sandyhook. Awesome job.

Can i just say, your videos have gotten so much better recently. Your editing style and everything has improved so much since i srarted watching you. Well done.

That is the worst looking house you've ever made.. well done!

I love old shacks. They are so much fun to visualize what their history was. They are so common here in the Ozarks that any road trip here of an hour long you will see a half dozen of them along the roadside. I even have one on my property that I didn't even know was there the first year I lived here. My son found it when he was hiking in the woods.

Dude, your work is astounding! You practically threw that together, and it looks amazing. Sub’d

Finally a video of what I want to make. My experience is with styrene as I have never seen foam used this way, you obtained better results, quicker! Thanks for the lead.

This is the first video of yours I've watched but definitely not the last. You've got some wicked skill, brother. Your passion shines and your technique is impeccable. LOTS of great tips.

The idea to build the terrain first then break it rather than trying to make a broken building from the get go is a really interesting way to go about a project like this. Broken glass technique worked out well! Very useful piece of terrain!

Just picked up my Proxxon and I feel like my crafting gained several levels! I’ve gone from dabbling to obsession. Thanks man!

I love this channel! It’s like watching “This Old House,” but with miniature stuff!

Love the editing and music in this episode, along with the build itself. Keep up the great work!

I just started the hobby and want to thank you for all your videos. They helped me a lot! Especially the tools you recommend, so I don't struggle with stuff that frustrates me. Like your channel a lot, keep it up. :)

LOVE this project I need to make a couple of these for my table!

I wasn't fully awake when I saw this episode listed on my page and read the title as, "The SHACK Made from Styrofoam for Therapy." Figured you were acting out due to suppressed creativity. & Gratz on #150

That shack would be great for a swamp encounter or even a old witch shack hidden in a eerie forest area

Dude you're so good at this. I've been slowly buying all the stuff I need to do builds like this. Never built before but after watching all of your videos and some of them twice im truely inspired. Thank you Jeremy. Keep on rocking !

Great job scratch building & TY for the tutorial . Its allvvays good to have scenery that can be used in multiple era's of gaming.

Awesome! You ask what we think... I think artist does art! Great Episode and grats on 150th!

This is really great, the black version looks like a house thats been through a mild bushfire. or house fire.

I love this style of video! The focus on problem solving and creativity really comes through and leaves me wanting to go create something.

This is a great build. I find run down terrain a lot more forgiving for us new builders too so it's definitely something I'd love to try out myself

"but I'm stupid and stubborn." mood.

Hey! It's that "Easter Egg' shack from Tuesday! (comment submitted at 0:10)

I've watched about 4 of your builds now, and my dude, thats FREAKIN AMAZING

I just gotta say, I love this style of video! It just seems more relaxed, almost like you're crafting in the same room as me. As someone who watches tutorials with the aim of picking up techniques and ideas for my own builds (rather than actually step by step following the tutorial) it's great, and makes the video far more enjoyable to watch.

Who's the wood crumbling home That's made from scraps of building foam? Shack! You're damn right

I think it would've looked amazing if you had a tree coming out from one of the holes in the roof. Amazing work! Oh and thanks a lot for adding yet another freaking hobby to the ever growing list I don't have enough time for.

This one is one of my new favorites , it such a simple build but has soooo much character to it. It makes you ask yourself what story it would've had. Also it seems like you're having more fun building again now the stress of the Tuesday videos is gone! Great job 👍

Honestly one of the best and most inspiring crafts channels on RU-vid. It's so inspiring and relaxing to watch, being told like "Looks terrifying, looks really hard, just relax, it's gonna be fine, you can do this at home too with some patience and creativity". Feels less like those aquarium builds I used to watch where it's very cool, but no way anyone on a student's budget could actually pay for it nor do it without some proper experience and lessons in the craft. Feels like a warm embrace, like a gentle father figure that patiently teaches you this kinda stuff. Currently working to make a crack(ed) shack too because of you. Keep it up, gonna try to become a patron(if my financial situation allows it) and I absolutely LOVE the channel!

My reaction when you first started cutting into the house: "Jeremy's gone crazy... noooooo!"

"Got a roof. A bit of a disaster." Is that a horrible thing for a building that is going to be a disaster?

Simple materials, but amazing work. It’s makes for a great backstory on how the house came to be.

I love these “ I’m going to build something” videos. Just so much fun to watch your process. Thank you for another great one!

'Lets see where this takes me' AKA... Me when writing a book r an essay

*says he gonna have trouble breaking it* My four year old sister from the other room: BREAK! I CAN BREAK IT!

YES! Long videos! Again, amazing stuff. Trying to recreate scenary for my RPG table here in Brazil! You are one of my favorite content creators ever :D

The fact that this guy shows his mistakes AND makes gorgeous stuff- ITS THE BEST

Anyone else here have ADHD and could only focus on the little moth flying around?

My son and I are building a Curse of Strahd Diorama right now and this is PERFECT! Thank you!

Awesome project, Jeremy! Here's to the next 150 episodes! 😊

Incredible work. I am completely blown away.

This is one of your best build if not the best and I love the fact that you show us your errors. Love your videos!

Love love love the work you do. I’m an independent filmmaker and am always struggling for the locations and infrastructure I want in my films. This has given me a whole new perspective. Wish I had the time to learn and work in this medium then film it!

What a sweet build. They way you let it sink into the ground is a fantatstic idea. Love the quick paint solution. Looks really perfect. Thank you. Hey .. and congrats to the 150th episode. Cheers.

This is super sick! I think our DM may have modeled their shack after this. It's a really fun terrain piece!

The final product is so cool~ It's like a concept art from The Last of Us! I also love how you documented and didn't edit out the hurdles and mistakes. Similar videos don't usually show that part of the process, and I'd like to tell you how much I appreciate watching a professional be forward about these things~ You got yourself a new subscriber, man!

Love the build, it really turned out great. I'd love to see you take on some modular WH40K/kill team industrial walkways and platforms.

That is absolutely amazing! It looks like an old Arkansas farm house remains. I love it!

That’s is truly a piece of art. Love it omg

Your work is amazing, I love these videos.

Love the kill team scenery! Wonderful build.

This is AWESOME! Nice House, I have seen some like this where we go camping. Most are "cabin type" But they still look like this build this was GREAT!! Thanks For All You DO!!

That's a work of art all on its own! Well done!

nice work, I really like how you go with each situation and handle bad decisions.

“First of all Milhouse, it’s fudgeSICLE.” Great build with tons of great takeaways!

I like your videos because you show your raw process and all the mistakes you make instead of having it as a perfect process. Those arent bad videos but I like knowing that I could actually do this myself and that mistakes are okay. I'm definitely subscribing!

Fantastic. I think that is my favorite piece you’ve done. Really has a mood to it. Great video

RU-vid somehow threw me into all these craft videos and it brings me back to my warhammer days and reminded me of how much fun it is to build stuff like this. Looks amazing.

Sick build man! I've found that a space heater from a few feet away is a great way to gently speed up dry time on builds. Saying that you seams that you managed fine. Have a good weekend!

I love these videos, they help inspire me with building stuff for my campaigns.

I can watch you craft all day man. Your movements and cuts are so damn smooth. Everything I craft is lopsided due to my unsteady hands. Its like magic. Black magic. Used to craft.

I really like the way it turned out !! I just caught your channel for the first time . I have since watched 2 more in the beginning series. I love your layed back approach. You make me feel like i too can do this. THANK YOU !!! I have been wanting to build for many years now ,but have never started . With these videos i feel i can start. Thanks again .

YOU ARE ONE CLEVER GUY! i dont do models etc, but find your videos both interesting and relaxing, keep up the great work.

Awesome build, I love that it looks worn down over time and sunken as opposed to just some big blast of damage :)

Thanks for your video, really nice as usual ! They all give me motivation to start some really big project that I never found time or courage to do

dude, best youtube find in awhile, subscribed. love the shack btw.

I’m glad you decided to make a destroyed building too, I tried building a nice cottage from some of your other tutorials, but my cuts were not very straight, so instead of scrapping it I decided to just turn it into an abandoned run down house

Pure talent, nice !!! You are needed in Hollywood.

Really awesome, interesting build! And also I really liked the music in this video

I love this build. I think I might try to build one for my Ravenloft campaign.

Looks phenomenal

I was waiting for this since it was visible in the background od your Tuesday video. Great video!

Just found your channel a week or so ago and am loving it! Love your improvisation with this build, great work!
