Dude, i'm so proud of you just proving to yourself that your shaky hands are NOT gonna stop or limit you in your awesome job and hobby!. Hopefully this gave you a confidence boost and less anxiety cause boy, this was FREAKING awesome!
Ive been working on a 6mm scale fantasy campaign system for my gaming group and was wondering how to do small buildings for terrain - this was very serendipitous - I'd love to see more extra-tiny builds! If you do end up making a diorama, those pipe cleaners with the bumpy design are great for making tiny pine trees!
Jeremy, my dude! You just solved an issue I was having! Our neighbors that we play D&D with really like the love story from the movie “Up”, and I was going to craft Paradise Falls as a Christmas gift for them, but I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to make the house. I didn’t want to take the cheap way out and just 3D print it, because I wanted them to feel the effort that was put into it. Now I have a solid direction to go with it! You’re awesome! Merry Christmas, buddy!
3-D printed would be cheap? This was made with scrap paper, superglue and 4-5 colors of paint. Ah, forget my opinions, you enjoy crafting, and enjoy the season!
@@MonkeyJedi99 "Cheap" as in, lazy. As in the rest of it is handcrafted and then I would be taking the easy/cheap way out and just printing the house. I wanted it all to be handcrafted. 🙂 I understand resin isn't cheap, but it still would have been less than 20 cents to print it. lol
Seeing this makes me less scared to continue making things despite the tremor a covid infection left me with. ❤ Also that teeny tiny house is adorable!
This is actually adorable. If I had done this, for a game, i would put it like "the base of the group", as a centerpiece, inside of a big hexcrawl map. "Here is where our home is", kinda vibe.
Oh! Map markers! This little house represents the village of Norham, the little stone tower is the lord's keep at the mouth of the Cwelllo River, and the mound with a door in it is the gnome settlement of Greensprig.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Exactly! I am playing a game (in a VTT) that does this type of stuff. Imagine "okay, you explore this hex, and here you find.... THIS", and you pull out one Map Marker, like, the Tower that you mentioned. It could be a bit frustrating to set-up (and a bit time consuming) on a physical table (that's why I only have seen this in VTT), but it would be so fun.
That's amazing, it reminded me of Samy-Modellbau, that person makes some very cool 1:700 scale dioramas, but he uses xps foam for the house, but this also amazing.
You mentioning not giving up is something I need to take to heart. So many times I get frustrated when things don't work out, I end up trashing, breaking, or throwing something. I need to learn to chill out and let it go haha I just get my hopes up in a way and if it doesn't work how I want I get so discouraged and sad. Sometimes walking away, crying a bit, and coming back to it helps. Am I kind of a baby? Yes, but oh well lol
I don't know why but this project made my creativity spark! The idea of making something common but in a super small scale is fascinating and unique :) Might have to setup my work station up after a long year and a half break.
Since your little creation is near Z scale of 6mm scale, it could also be used as a dollhouse or toy in a 1:12 (or 6" tall action figure) scale diorama or dollhouse. Toys playing with toys is always fun.
As someone who has CRPS in her hands I get the problems with shakes n twitches etc and this just gives me so much inspiration and confidence to keep doing what I do and to take my time and not give up
This was just the video I needed to see right now. I'm painting tiny details on doll accessories and have been getting frustrated at my hands shaking so badly. Taking a moment to set down the brush and remember that this is a project for me to enjoy and I don't have to rush to finish it was very helpful. So thank you for sharing this little house. I might have to make a few for my dolls when I'm done too :)
What's up, my friend. I admire your work and have been inspired by the pieces you have been making for a long time. It has helped me a lot to deal with my depression. Forgive me for my terrible English, I live in Brazil and my English is poor. Anyway, know that they admire you and root for you from afar... God bless you.
I really love these miniature videos. Your skills as a model maker have improved by leaps and bounds over the years and it’s great to watch. Would love for you to add this to a miniature village diorama. Maybe you could recreate some classic DnD maps like the village of Hommlet or something along those lines.
It's adorable, and I really like how you made it from found materials. I'm just starting building terrain, and I really want to do as much of it as possible out of the recycling bin so I can save my money for paints, minis etc.
I want to first say you made a comment about keeping going and it made me tear up because of how hard things are right now and second you did an amazing job it looks great!
I have a Piazo silver dragon that a house this size would look great next to. I could put it in one of the diorama things i have. Also you could probably fit this into an ornament and make a cute little ornament (like your spooky ones from recently)
Oooo... OOoo... OO... I got an idea! It could be a home for the garden gnomes in the garden next to a regular size building, just like at the end of the video!
If you have a Dollar Tree store near you, they carry bell domes, which this house would look good in and perhaps might inspire you on a little diorama would fit in the bell dome and your house. Maybe a tiny flying dragon is trying to make off with one of your cows.
‘Big shaky meat paws’ i resemble this remark 😝 Shakey hands can definitely make crafting…interesting sometimes. Love this tiny build. Maybe you can use an old monopoly house as a base too
If you want another challenge, I've been seeing popup terrain books popping up(lol) around lately and I'd love to see your take on making popup set pieces, like a fountain, that can fold down to a small booklet for storage.
It would be cool to have a few of those on a base with a giant or dragon and have a sweet city being destroyed in the diorama! Well done this was awesome!
Incredible work. I made a batch of sci-fi buildings once to go on a war table as part of a combat scenario. I made a lot. So I use them now as greebles :D I'll tell you my hands were cramping so hard after that afternoon, I ate my ramen with a fork.
I think it looks great, even up close. Perhaps add a little bit of a wash to accent some of the details. I would love to see you expand on this to make a tiny village. Maybe add a little bit every video. You could even space these videos out doing a new addition to your tiny town every so often (like when you have a creative block).
During lock down I had the idea of making templates for ready to build paper models that could easily be cut in minutes from cereal boxes with a cheap diode laser. But I've found a new job and didn't think about it since.
This gave me the idea to make cities in this scale. I have some larger buildings and I find them hard to use. Either the party is IN building - so it is much better to have interiors with "placeholders" for walls. I love the dungeons and lasers series. Or when outdoors, I'd need tonns of buildings. Even smaller villages have at least 20 which is not really feasible to put on a gaming table. But with such tiny buildings, one could make a complete city - even a couple hundred buildings - and have it on the go either for table top or moving to a friends home. It would help the party to visualise the city layout and to explore it. Simple maps are just too boring min most cases so I always wanted cities. I might give this a go with laser cut details. Lovely idea!
Dude that is freaking awesome!! I recently started getting serious about my terrain builds. You've been a huge motivator to me to keep trying to push the boundaries of what i can do
What a fun build! I agree with you about including this in a diarama. You could easily create a small village scene using small buildings at different scales to create forced perspective! I wanna try it!
This has to be my favorite of your latest videos. I love that this is all carboard (I find that even houses sized for 28mm scale can be made entirely out of cardboard and look amazing). I really, really like this tiny scale. My mind is considering wargaming possibilities for this kind of terrain...
Use it to build a little diorama in another one of the ornament globes. Like the one you used in the snowman build. Build a pretty little winter medieval village or farm scene.
For papercraft at this scale, I recommend using a pritt stick (yes, the one you used in school) for the detail work. Far less mess than PVA and a practically instant bond. Cut your plank and just pull the strip of material between your finger and the glue stick. Put in place and cut to fit. Easypeasy. Coat with a thin layer of ModPodge before paint and do what you just did. I've done a few paper/card things like that and it makes it a lot easier and fun to do.
That is so awesome! I once re-created the city of Barnacus for my PCs using Lego blocks. I now know how to dress up my buildings to look more realistic!
Love that you used a Toonie, which other countries would have no reference idea of, rather than a quarter, which is the same in size between Canada and US.
As someone who has periperhal nerve pain and also loves hobby dioramas, this is super inspiring! I migth make some of these and incorperate them into my campaign for a race of super tiny peoples
With a few more of those you can create a 3d map for your players to see the town that they came across before entering one of the buildings for a full size interior set-up.
