All in 1 D&D Portals, Murals, Archways and Arch walls!

[@lindybeige]

Door, cullis, stained glass window, smaller normal window in wall, ends of barrels, in a stack... You could even do things with a fair bit of depth, like fireplaces and fountains.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Already got plans for quite a few of those my friend :) but... There's only so much time in a week! Next week has some more though...

[@Thaddeusthedm]

One of my favorite KZbinrs commented on another of my favorite KZbinrs… I think this rips open a portal to the Forgotten Realms….

[@MacroAggressor]

Idea for an improvement to the portals... use a mod-podge textured transparent insert and behind the "portal" place a small box with the landscape printed on all sides. This would give the effect of shifting perspective through the portal.

[@lexzbuddy]

If you want stained glass, use paper and draw or print onto the paper. Coloured pencils are good as the colours won't run but whatever works for you. Now get a bit of vegetable or mineral oil and apply it to the paper. The paper becomes translucent. You can then apply it to a suitable window portal. Instant stained glass :) Fixing spray may help if the image wants to come off. Art students seem to use lots of it. Look on art stores, it's cheap.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

I saw that technique but I preferred the printing on transparencies look, problem is lockdown stopped me doing it properly. If you use the same files I show on photo paper here, but printed on transparencies (which you can get done for not much in a print shop) it looks tons better :)

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks RP.

[@riotangel914]

Very cool video! Putting a pin in the top and bottom of an insert could make an easy secret/concealed door.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Cool idea! I actually have an idea for a secret door players can't tell is there... But I've got a lot of cool ideas to get out the door so that one might be a while!

[@tiny-grimes]

15:05 alternatively you can use pictures from magazines and calendars :D

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Also yes, though finding them in the right scale can be... A challenge!

[@DrewBorrowdale]

So you too can torture your party with magazine advert clippings in their base portals :D

[@myoung4997]

This is one of the coolest build concepts I've ever seen. Thanks so much for your amazing work and for posting!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you for commenting! Every time you do that it helps the channel grow. And makes me feel good about uploading, which is always nice :)

[@christophermurray9777]

Very useful build. Great job.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks man :)

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

Love this!!! Everything in this video is useful. Archways are my favorite

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you :) that was the aim!

[@dmmomma]

Really nice!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you!

[@TheMichaellathrop]

It would be a bit harder to do the card inserts with there own cut outs, but you could print stuff on projector transparencise to try and have your portals partially transparent

[@echodelta2426]

Another great tutorial. Love the interchangeable inserts.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Echo :)

[@edgrimoldby6044]

Amazing stuff mate. Love your work

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Ed!

[@ramsesrivera4332]

Love the channel!!! Very creative. You always give me great ideas and inspiration. Thanks.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you! Always nice to hear I'm actually helping :)

[@BGPHughes]

Keep up the good work - really the best of the channels I watch and that is saying something!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks :) hearing that kind of stuff is very encouraging, I'm often a little over self-critical!

[@tinemaertens6663]

this is awsome ! as are all your other idea's :) !

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Tine! :)

[@RaiderAvian]

One can make different shapes for the windows for other build styles and even make an arch with a corner halfway up. That way, you can either use as-is for an arch or add an insert that goes halfway in (up to the corner as a stopper) for a smaller window.

[@MattJames5627]

to be quite fair here ... every video you've posted has been great if not amazing, keep up the awesome work :)

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Hey Matt, thanks for that! Really helps brighten up my week :)

[@MattJames5627]

@@RPArchiveOfficial as i've said before, the quality of production in your videos (both audio and post production) are top notch and easily out rank all of the other crafting channels I watch (and even most channels at that). :)

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Hey, every time I hear that it makes me smile, so I'm not complaining about hearing it again :)

[@sccoltsfan8242]

Watching the precision with which you work is truly inspiring! My 10 year old and I love watching together and brainstorming new ideas. Keep the content coming and thanks bunches!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you! And that's awesome! It's really nice hearing about people sharing this kind of stuff with their kids 😄

[@annasstorybox7906]

Ou... Nice! Gave me some inspiration to build some 40k terrain. While I love the industrial stuff I also love the gothic cathedral looking stuff. And something similar to these could be made so they would work for 40k and medieval/fantasy alike depending on what removable decorative elements are used.

[@cosmiccouplet]

Imagine this with acrylic laser cut inserts backlit by LED. Your channel has my creative juices gushing. Thanks for posting all this amazing content.

[@khimbar123]

This is once again brilliant, your stuff is great. Like button hit immediately. Now I'll watch the video...

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks khimbar! Always appreciate you feeding the algorithm beast ;)

[@khimbar123]

Yeah, I was quite right. Brilliant. Making these. Stealing the portal trap room idea. Oh and I had similar problems with cheap photo paper in a HP printer. Once I changed paper type in the printer options to (I think) 'Other photo paper' it works perfectly, not a single smudge.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Interesting! I'll have to give that a try, see if I can save a ton of money :)

[@animeguysrhot50x]

Your stuff is always so inspiring 😲

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thank you :)

[@johnschweiger1079]

That’s awesome

[@tinaprice4948]

Amazing :) Great job and thank you so much for sharing!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Tina!

[@natashapoirier4696]

Awesome!!

[@RobertMeush]

Another great video! I had seen this one awhile ago but came back to it recently. I converted your free template to an STL file to 3dprint for easy repeated uses since my hand tremors can sometimes make it hard to cut straight :) It can be used as a stencil on the hotwire table as well :) Let me know if you want them and thanks for yet another great video tutorial!!!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Sounds great Rob :) send me a link or the file in a message to the page on Facebook and I'll take a look!

[@ghostbirdofprey]

I can't help but think what this build really also needs is flying buttresses. I don't know how many places such a piece would even be useful, though, so it's pretty low hanging fruit. Not like you other, "make for this thing, use for these other dozen things" Maybe if you had some sort of open, arched roof piece (so the top is at an angle) you could put on columns (and not attach the roof to) edit: Also, that cloister probably looks even better with the grass tiles, but do you have anything that could be used as garden beds?

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Flying buttresses I considered, but abandoned as they were too specific and not modular enough, at least for this early build. Still might add them in future :) I really want to do crop fields at some point, if that counts...

[@ghostbirdofprey]

@@RPArchiveOfficial Yeah, exactly my thought: they'd look really great, but aren't a super good fit for the system as a whole. Crop fields is definitely something that would be interesting to have, but I was thinking something more like raised beds growing flowers and medicinal herbs like how the necromancer's study added the flower boxes. Seems like something you'd find in a cloister, or next to the apothecary and that nice old lady's house.

[@Slugger1990]

I really wanna know what that end music is. The instrumental bit. Not really sure where I've heard it before, but its super familiar. I absolutely love your attention to detail, consistency, and symmetry. and makes me want to start crafting terrain and tiles myself. unfortunately, haven't really got the space or means for it right now, but maybe later.

[@user-pm2gn2wq1m]

Do you have any videos to make tiles? the ground ones

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Yep :) The main video is this one, that shows how to make the walls and doors too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3OTaZd5asZ0pZo There's also this one that shows the faster way to make the floor tiles, as well as how to use them as a castle wall: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoaQe3yXZ6udatU Take your pick of which one you prefer :)

[@Raycheetah]

Those stone-filled arches scream "SECRET DOOR!" at me. Do I play too much Skyrim? Mebbe... =^[.]^=

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Haha, yeah, with an obviously movable stone rolly-thing 😅

[@Scartenable]

Fantastic quality videos you got there my man. Did you have another channel before this one? On a sidenote, I would love some different dungeon tiles like grass, water and lava to switch things up. Would you make them even lower than half an inch?

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Not a crafting channel, but I messed around with gaming for a few months :) As for the environments, keep an eye on the channel, plenty more big ideas are coming... It's really just a matter of how quick I can get things done/build up the free time to do some more big projects - I've spread myself a little thin recently by working so hard at the channel!

[@Scartenable]

@@RPArchiveOfficial I can imagine yeah. Keep up the great work! I'm moving to a new apartment with an actual hobby room soon, so I'll have room to try it out. Thinking how I can adjust it to be a Nordic or Dwemer dungeon from Skyrim :)

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

That sounds awesome! I think a dwemer workshop would suit the crafting vibe pretty well ;)

[@strongbif]

Oof, this just begs for stained glass. Time to practice my freehand I guess

[@MarushiaDark316]

Speaking of Harry Potter, Matt's looking a bit like Daniel Radcliffe with that facial hair. :)

[@denisestevens6492]

Hi love yr vid clips. Learning alot. Thankyou. PS- why can't I find the stencil/PDF for the windows. Really wanted to give it ago. Cheerz Denise W.A

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Denise, glad they help :) The printables should be on my Patreon, if you filter the posts by public with the drop down at the top :)

[@Timeremortem]

I own a proxxon Thermacutter. That has a smaller area and shorter wire. I think my highest pieces can be 15cm but then im really going line by line. Anyhow i notice you and others have like a big wooden plate that you press your foam towards for easy clean cuts. Is that something you made yourself or is it just a more expensive thermocutter?

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

It's a guide you can buy from shifting lands.com :)

[@Timeremortem]

@@RPArchiveOfficial Thanks. Ordering one myself then.

[@stuartfarrell6729]

how about using 1/4 inch foam core board rather than having to cut down the xps foam

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

You could do that, I just can't access that in the uk :)
