I do love how, while other crafters have their expensive hot wire cutters and so on, you just use a big knife. It's very metal.

[@vinceendres]

What would of been sick is some vines growing up the pillars. Such a cool project!

[@D1gital-ZER0]

Bard, you have inspired me to make my own "Summergrove" terrain for Age of Sigmar and other fantasy wargames. Thank you so much for being as awesome as you are!

[@BardsCraft]

Epic! I have just thought that these builds work well for AoS

[@quinnyunker8974]

You can paint the bottom of the base with glue to correct the warping in cardboard

[@scottgilbert9319]

Your a master at using what other crafters might toss as junk. You recycle and repurpose very well!!

[@yugutugu]

The blue is fantastic :)

[@patrickfurtado4261]

A cool stone to use would be peacock ore. It already looks like something from a fantasy world.

[@pst5345]

Using force also helps... Barb's craft 😐 Love it 😃

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

P.s. I’ve been using your homemade flocking technique and it’s brilliant. Saved me buying over priced stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheRedBard]

In character story-centric voice over for the build every video. Must do. Amazing work.

[@TheZapan99]

I use MDF boards from old furnitures discarded at the local recycling center to do all my terrain bases. This thing is warp-proof unless left in the rain for days.

[@BardsCraft]

I'll considet this. It's definiyely time to level up with my basinh

[@TheZapan99]

@@BardsCraft 3 millimeters boards work best. That's usually the panels found at the bottom of drawers and on the backside of flatpack furnitures. You'll need a jigsaw to cut a roundish base, and an orbital sander (or just sand paper) to taper the edges. If it is laminated on both sides, you'll need to scratch the surface for the paint to stick, if not just use the rough side up.

[@lodunost]

I learn my peasant level skills from here and I have to say I'm starting to eat oats on a regular basis. Making me both healthier and happier. I love coming here to learn how to craft epic sets to use in wargaming.

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

Aww. You attached chains to each pillar but forgot about the broken one. Missed opportunity~ Oh well, it's still badass. If you were worried about the stone wobbling too much, you could have run some thinner wire through some of the chains to provide additional stability. The sword was a great touch too.

[@BardsCraft]

Yeah I should have done that. But I cannot regret since I ran out of chain anyway!

[@mikehibbett3301]

I love your work. I watch these videos while doing my electronics assembly :)

[@henrikwiebe8639]

[@donkalzone6671]

Could you try to use some glitter for a magic stone. I think covering it with white. And after the color is dry, it could get a rough drybrush with some glue before sprikle some glitter on it. Than maybe coating it again with glue so that the glitter is still visible but protected.

[@francoisblanchard6674]

Bravo, mec t'es doué, continue comme ça.

amazon sent me a cardboard box with tape on the outside. i used it for a round base and it not warped. not sure if it was a case or if this always work.

Imo that stone would be better if you'd cast it with some sort of polymer resin. Still great craft.

[@barryjack3025]

I am a concept artist and animation artist by profession and can't help but over design stuff before building in CG. His scribbles are good enough!!

[@Namehack]

I would suggest to not invest in a new camera, the quality is good enough as it is, go for a Airbrush etc first instead. :)

[@BardsCraft]

I agree partially. The video looks full HD on small displays, but even on my 21" screen I see that it's low-mid quality video. Anyway I dropped my camera (from like 10 cm) and it broke right after the video. Now I'll have to get a new one.

[@lanasmith4795]

Always attempts to improve audio quality before video. People will notice audio issues long before visual. Unless you drop your camera 10 cm and it broke

[@BardsCraft]

@@lanasmith4795 Yeah I need to cover all my walls with audio panels. The audio is not clean

[@branchcore]

I like that it has the at home feel. Makes it more appealing for me to craft knowing you work under the same situations.

[@CrankyPantss]

Namehack I would think that getting an airbrush would fly in the face of what his channel has been all about: cheap and easy supplies and techniques that turn into great looking crafts. A lot of people can’t afford or just don’t want to hassle with the airbrushes, fancy electric foam cutters, designers paints, etc., so I’d think it would change the whole feel of the channel.

What is this "throwing away" you speak of?? I look at everything with crafting potential now!! I had one really great idea awesome flock... but I was not allowed to shave the dog 😭

[@TheZapan99]

Small scraps should go in a rock tumbling box to be textured, then used as stone works. Zero waste that way.

[@affghjfdkkj2530]

Other youtuber -> When crafting a complex project you should always make a plan first and then perhaps adapt. Bard -> Ok! Also bard -> Throws plan in garbage... Does 100x more than previously planned without even breaking a sweat. Also again Bard -> **Whispers Goodbye* xD Came for the skill. Stayed for the humor. You'r amazing. ^-^

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

Génial , absolutely , awesome ! I recently discover je channel and i'm looking all je vidéos . I have just a suggestion instead using white glue for pillars or another big pièce the better is the hot glue , more solid and quick drying . Thanks for this vidéo

[@10urion]

Really interesting color scheme on the rock! Also really smart way of attaching the rock

[@olovskiPL]

superglue can help You with the wobbly stone, just use the CHEAPEST superglue (the runny one) A tiny drop on the chain link connections and you are done, no more wobbly rocks ;) Great vid btw ;)

[@brokenwave6125]

CA glue, even the expensive ones, come in different viscosity. Some of the dollar store super glue is thick. And some expensive woodworking super glue is very thin. Just depends. Has nothing to do with price though.

[@krause6echo]

You could have put a forth chain in that had broke, that would have been from the broken pillar.

[@raspberrycrusader]

You should make a tutorial on knife sharpening!! 😲

[@Khether0001]

[@BardsCraft]

Great idea, that goes in my list!

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

I'm glad you didn't resort to using superglue to mount the chain to the rock. Watching you problem solve created a pleasant aesthetic and gave it a look from something of antiquities. They didn't have superglue, just brains. Great job.

[@suslowsshow]

Bloop, bloop and bloop

[@derekilopan]

I'm subbing just because you draw as well as I do, and you don't play with toddlers. Great stuff man! Going to look through your other videos now.

[@donkalzone6671]

It's also possible to make crystals out of salt, sugar or alaun. You can also shape a crystal out of soap base. But all these methods need a transparent covering to protect it from moisture. Most women have clear NailPaint, which can be used for this purpose. Another method is to shape the stick of a glue pistole into crystals and give them a very hot waterbath(it makes them pretty transparent). It looks epic if you color the bottom of this "crystals" and put a group of them on a light. You could also make many small crystals this way to decorate a magical setting.

[@junkers4561]

As usual, everything is cool, but there is one "but". I think it was necessary to make a fourth chain, which was previously attached to the destroyed pillar.

[@SMunro]

Interesting choice, but you might have gone with six stones- each pair linked by a cross stone from which chain links to the suspended big blue rock. That way its circular without curved stones.

[@lucabastianello9830]

Really great. Only thing I would have added it would be some pieces of chain around the problem pillar and on the mistical rock. But nothing that change the great work done

[@remkovanderlans7653]

Ah, the perfect way to start off my week-end! Thank you for the video!

[@matthewreid4434]

the trick is to go towards the color thats on your brush. if you have purple on your brush. your brush should be moving in the direction of the predominantly purple region. when you apply the lighter color your brush should be pulling in the opposit direction. this makes the transitions look great while wet blending

[@familieversteegh1712]

Hangle 😂. Great video as always. Perhaps a red-green colour scheme for the elves?

[@Nomad6763]

You could also make 4 identical pillars, then you can cut the ruined pillar up and have the rest of the pillar lying on the ground. That way you wouldn't need to worry about adding too much or too little pillar.

[@AlphaTrad]

No leftovers from the 4th chain attached to the fallen pillar? Dude, you make me want to do these dioramas!

[@lemenz7960]

People don’t get how much it sucks in the UK, I literally can’t get any decent foam other than like 6mm

[@donkalzone6671]

You can grow and color big suggar crystals. Maybe they can also be coated with something to protect it from moisture.

[@olivermanley24]

Just clicked on but this already looks so cool

[@saturnista5510]

Ombre nail art! Yall should check that to see how gradients are done amazingly using a sponge!

[@sgtsol7934]

That was really nice work, found your channel and subscribed. I like the fact that you do everything from a more realistic cost effective perspective using tree bark, baking soda for texture, hemp rope, etc. The stone color worked out nicely, should have glossed it a bit to make it more shiny. Awesome work though wish it was sitting on my desk.

[@willkeir155]

Some gloss varnish on the stone could work maybe?
