Building Baldur's Gate Part 2 - Better Buildings

[@TerrainDevil]

One of the few crafters of the hobby who hasn't been bitten by the 3D printing bug and still actually makes things. It's a good day when Wylock uploads a new video. 😁

[@recycledminis]

I stayed to watch this due to this comment

[@silviofoj]

yessssss

[@Bianca-dm3ir]

Yes! 3dprinting and airbrushing is nice and all but I only have a small desk and paintbrushes to use 😅

[@joshsterrett5901]

I have love for both styles! There is a certain sense of pride when something is handmade, but requires skills (or wyloch KZbin hahha) to make. 3d printing opens up new options, but also requires some technical skills. Id feel a similar sense of pride if I managed to 3d sculpt and then print a city from scratch. Both would take forever. But I'll never forget building Skullport from cardboard, more than any other project I've done. Those handmade ones still stand out

[@FelixTheAnimator]

Oh man coffee stirrers are a crafters best friend. I steal them from the 7-11 every chance I get!

[@danrconway]

Man, this whole project has been a nostalgia trip in all the right ways!

[@lycanthropej]

instant flashback from the music.... love it.

[@adamwest8711]

Yeah, that music getting me right in the feels.

[@Miggy19779]

So many BG memories, the music, the look fo the models, you've hit the nail on the head here :)

[@rattusludus8528]

Aww we are all heroes; You and Boo and I and this content. Watchers and patreons everywhere, rejoice!

[@snotl]

The music kicks in and I am back! What a great series!

[@darrelldog5]

I'm not even familiar with tabletop gaming, but I must say... That stone wall is impressive! Nice work...

[@vurrunna]

Love, love, _love_ these walls! They're an excellent mix of simplicity and realism, and with their massive size they feel properly imposing (as medieval city walls should). I also think dropping the street tiles was a good call; the unlimited modularity of a battlemat is much truer to the layouts in the game (you can see buildings at all sorts of angles in your screenshots), and the lawn additions add that essential pop of color to really bring it to life (I'll definitely have to make some of my own for my eventual Mordheim table). Kudos on the craft, and I look forward to more!

[@lexi_9995]

No 3D printer no static grass applicator, loads of cardboard, same here, excellent build keep it up.

[@thedarkfive]

You're the quintessential crafter! It's so enjoyable to get to know the way you think about crafting.

[@naomihatfield3015]

9:46 "but then I would have to put pants on....and I don't want to do that." Dude, that resonated so much. Literally laughed out loud. I am sure I am not the only one who has also felt that way.

[@showland1999]

Really loving how these are coming out. Give me motivation to get my own terrain projects done. Keep the inspiration coming.

[@benchandler4298]

This makes me want to immediately gather my party and venture forth. The battle mat is a great call, I think, it looks a bit more convincing, especially with the added greenery. The acrylic base with bright green rims idea is a super goofy, incredibly fun idea. I kind of want to at least see if you can get that looking good on a single trial character, if not a whole party’s worth. This is such a great project to follow along with.

[@danielsword4629]

The olive darker stones would be perfect for a floor and the lighter would be great for the small walls for dungeon tiles

[@jimwake1123]

I love the castle walls. Definately going to borrow that stone paint scheme because that looks phenomenal on the finished thing!

[@cerethpainting6606]

Really an amazing project to follow. Love the old BG!!!!

[@ricardorampone1737]

Completely awesome! Baulders Gate is coming together quite well on your table. Would love to see a wargame in the city with all the terrain you've made. Super cool.

[@BillAllanWorld]

Wyloch's videos are like my meditation sessions; calming, introspective, and restorative.

[@maxs-lz4pn]

I actually really like the acrylic base idea. That way the minis aren't locked into whatever base they're on

[@markusscheid7235]

What i loved about the building and general art style from BG1 &2t was the right mix of medieval and fantasy architecture. Thats why it was believable and felt "right". I sometimes just checked the area because i loved the tiny details.

[@josray2557]

I love that this channel is still keeping the old ways alive. Foam, dry brushing, bricking etc That's mostly what got me into subbing to these channels and yet most are using really advanced and overly technical methods that aren't as fun to watch. I really am not a fan of inks and airbrushing at all. They look super good but it's just not fun to view. It's about seeing paint hit a model with a brush that makes it feel like something real is being done. Or bricks being placed one by one. Idk why it's just more gratifying than brick jigs and stuff. Or making food out of all kinds of objects other than printing them out. It's all becoming an ingenious lost art.

[@DrChiYT]

In the last video, I don't know if it was the angles, lighting, or what but I was not much a fan of the gradient windows. But seeing them again in this video I'm like "No, I was wrong, those windows look really awesome."

[@emilyr2836]

LOVE how your new stone painting technique comes out!

[@rickspotten8497]

Just getting to these after bingeing a bunch of your backlog. I gotta say, you and I share many things. That includes the main reason not to got to the store. I've told many a friend to give me fair warning before stopping to my house. If not, they may see something that they really do not wish to see! Bwahahaha.

[@MFewwy]

Such a cool build!!! Wanna do that for my waterdeep campaign

[@delvinginthedepths]

Baldur's Gate got me into playing D&D when it came out. This stuff looks so good.

[@juriaan13]

It was my intro in video games ..I was, and still am, play dnd

[@demetrinight5924]

The modular walls and towers turned out wonderfully. I can see them as city walls or a full fort or castle. I love that you can place the walls and towers at any angle.

[@demetrinight5924]

I laughed at the clear bases with green edges joke. That stands out from the Balders Gate games.

[@TheHelium999]

To be honest I was thinking at one day...while printing the wylochtiles from hero's hoard... "What is Wyloch currently doing...is he gone of KZbin?" Well I am so glad that you are not gone and you videos are so honest and funny, I just love that you include "mistakes". It makes everything that much more real and strangely enjoyable to watch! Keep it up. Just love your voice and editing on your vids. Once a fan, always a fan! :)

[@Nat1videos]

Love those ramparts Bill! Bricks bricks bricks lol... nice ASMR too ;)

[@gregmccormack5709]

Yas!!! These are great. The results of that stone recipe are sweeeet.

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Ah the nostalgia ❤. I love this, awesome work brother. Thank you very much.

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Glad this is the second video in the BG series, cos I was able to enjoy it without the shock of contemplating my age. That stone color is beautiful, your experiments paid off big time!

[@androcus]

I am loving this series. The nostalgia is so real.

[@benweinberg3819]

The color swatches of these are awesome. The final results look like it could be a screen grab for a digital map tileset!

[@lilcwa]

So many excellent projects all in one video! Thank you!

[@leonardodosvinci4130]

Think it was TTWC who I first saw doing the static grass with a small kitchen sieve, works great! Between these 2 channels I dont have to go far for tutorials thats for sure, awesome man, thanks.

[@muddyboots7753]

Always calming to watch these videos.

[@RichardSnider-cn2du]

I watched this video last week and while I was resting an idea came to me, the storehouses on stilts may be raised granaries. The air circulation under the floor allows the grain to stay drier and makes it harder for vermin like mice and rats to infest the granary. The building may have a trapdoor in the floor and have hoists to raise and lower goods by block and tackle. It is even possible that wagons could be loaded and unloaded directly underneath the building.

[@jaysonstewart3537]

What a great finished product! Strong work!

[@Gauldame]

I got onto amazon, searched army painter and clicked "yes" Sir, that is a dangerous trend, as someone who has done that as well.

[@wonderboy2402]

Love it - and Boo does too! *Squeek!*

[@notreallydavid]

Looking soo-purb. Well worth the hair-tearing. Presumably, anyone who wanted strips of battlements to sit on the outer face of the wall could hatch some without too much sweat. Some kind of periodic slot-over clips might be the way to hold them on (or just include crenellations in the original build).

[@kreezerast]

The olive-green skudge-dab turned out great. If you aren't worn out on the walls, you could strategically add some flocking to the bottom inch or two as well, along brick joints, although that sort of locks them in to a specific seasonal range...

[@outlyr242]

Heya! Now you got me thinking about what a table-top version of the Baldur's Gate game could be like.

[@IndigoWraithe]

That painting scheme for the brick looks so fantastic! I definitely want to give that a shot in a future project. It gave me strong Undead Burg vibes from Dark Souls 1.

[@AzraelThanatos]

For a lot of generic stonework, I've found that starting with a base coat of the applebarrel White, then letting it fully dry before using ink washes to go over it. Normally a black and brown along with some other colors (sparingly) while it's still wet. Then go with a trio of drybrushes (A warm offwhite, a cold offwhite, and then a very light one focused more on edges of a pure white). That white paint is something I only get for stonework because it's far to chalky for normal painting, but that same issue means that you can do something similar to leopard spotting techniques on them. For the basing idea, a friend of mine did the old Prodos AvP game in a similar way, though more of bases and basecoat in either black or a dark grey, then a bright neon drybrush over that (lighter on the mini) and for the rims of the bases. Looked a lot like some older RTS games unit profiles...

[@dungeonmatron6027]

Lovely stone work! Will give this method a try!

[@CaesarRoyale]

Depending on the dungeon - sometimes they have HUGE rooms, I could see using these castle walls for big dungeon rooms!

[@Madbog1375]

Very nice. The video came at just the right time. I think i am going to try that stone-method for my next project.

[@notreallydavid]

This is a great way to make a living; every vid a great one, too, so everybody wins.

[@WylochsArmory]

Oh, how I wish I could...

[@zeds.6783]

Yes, THIS time I found your newly-posted video before I received a notification of its posting! *watches video* I'm surprised you didn't go with a stone top on the walls, but maybe the wooden walk surfaces was more in keeping with the game you were inspired by. In any case, the brown is very vibrant and I know you like having real color. The stone walls looked great by the time you were done!

[@johnnybigbones4955]

Aww man, I've been in a real crafting funk for about a year now, got nothing much done. This really got my brain working and thinking about how I could adapt this to make a cool modular wall/keep system of my own. Thanks!

[@DIYKOM]

you absolutely transported me, thank you

[@TCStall]

I looooove the direction you're going with this city set! I've been thinking about recreating some of the old warcraft buildings for a while, you've inspired me to finally buckle down and do it

[@aaronbono4688]

It just amazes me how you do such simple things that look so amazing. And the creativity, I would never think of using many of the materials you do in the way you use them. My God, your hand applied static grass looks great!

[@Wizzard033]

Love it!!!! One of my most favorite games EVER! Love the sound tracks too Great job you nailed it

[@jacobhope6164]

Like both colors? Mix them 50/50. Simple genius.

[@tinemaertens6663]

looking great ! and some day you'll love bricklaying ;-)

[@johanenerskog2348]

Hi! Really love your resent vids the back basics, Baldurs Gate ooo and the furniture ones. Awesome job!!

[@malakaikaedmon3860]

The little buildings on stilts could be dove-cots, or pigeon houses.

[@chriskaschafsky5846]

Looks great. You might want to do a gate wall.

[@KimHarderFog]

Holy balls the nostalgia, hearing that music in the beginning

[@madronarenata6416]

This is absolutely amazing.

[@markjenkins2192]

love how your making it close to the game good stuff

[@JakinShaw]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES

[@RyanoftheNorth]

Nicely Done! I also see Helm's Deep in my MESBG future! These are really great and your videos have really helped me in building scenery for my MESBG gaming! Using your techniques working on Balin's Tomb!

[@TheMichaellathrop]

I really like the new stone for exterior pieces, but wouldn't personally choose it for interior walls and floors.

[@VanillerGoriller]

I greatly underestimated the size of these when I saw the initial pic. Just...wow!

[@TheeSlickShady_Dave_K]

🏆 beyond incredible Thank you for making these things real

[@wesleyrussell8386]

I love the miniature base idea, I'd love to see at least one just to try it!

[@silviofoj]

Dude I love your channel. You get amazing results using simple materials and techniques that never get old. So cool this scenario.

[@leighbee1764]

oo i like what you did, no red stone and they aren't freefloating at all, minus the red roof building which is only noticable due to the door, steps? taller door?

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Alright Wyloch, I get the message, I'll play Baldur's Gate sometime this year 😂 Masterful work as always, and the stone walls came out amazingly!

[@BH-vh3iu]

Wow, this looks awesome

[@vicmarriott4849]

Great Video, there are old video game buildings I have thought about coping, and now you are doing it, very Inspirational.

[@brunswicklord6365]

May I reiterate the comment about how you make things and not just 3D print.. there is a place for printing for sure but just watching you craft from scratch is unbelievably satisfying and I can easily spend a long lazy afternoon on a Sunday just watching and being entertained. That definitely would not happen watching a 3D printer!! And your videos are always inspiring. The castle walls are amazing and I am thinking about a LotR siege game. Many years ago I made some very basic castle walls and siege towers for my young son, now a fully grown man! I will revisit those happy days by making some better castle walls and a few new siege towers from balsa and coffee stirrers. My original design was lost many years ago and I have no visual record, no phone cameras back in the day!! But I do remember it had a platform that fell on top of the castle wall allowing troops 3 figures wide to fight onto the battlements.

[@cerisekappes580]

Totally worth the effort! Beautiful 😊

[@fireflower12]

oh my gosh, this is amazing!! i think these walls are gonna be my next build, theyre incredible and i think theyd fit well into my ravenloft campaign!

[@thetowerkeeper]

This looks superb. Almost makes me want to try it! The walls and towers are fantastic and it is these two things that are usually hard to get right.; The overall look (and I've never played the game) makes me want to get in there and game! Can't wait for part 3!

[@SurfaceDweller]

Excellent work!

[@itsmeurboi]

need way more weathering with greens and browns but not bad! some plant life, ivy, vines, bushes.

[@WylochsArmory]

The goal is to mimic the art in the game, not to produce realistic looking buildings.

[@nathanielkifer6317]

Started a project very similar to this. This really helped; thanks!

[@nathanielkifer6317]

I finished my project, and your video was a great help. Wish I could upload the photos so I could show it off. Thank you, sir, you are much appreciated.

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@sunlizard13]

Flipping awesome.

[@violenceislife1987]

I like the idea to use clear bases with green edge

[@donwilliams1193]

Very awesome work! Thanks for sharing

[@greatwhitefalcon]

Wow mate, that is amazing! 🙌🙌🙌

[@shadowandson3550]

FIRST to say sweet build

[@jamesrichichi3019]

Modules not great! Hah! Julinda's Gauntlet was a highlight of my groups 1shots last year! You are a legend!

[@TheCreativeKobold]

Loving it! I've been thinking of building my own castle walls, and this is great inspiration for that! I'll probably copy that painting technique straight up, it looks amazing! :D Also, would love to see those clear bases with the green edge! xD

[@lorddraconum]

Looking great

[@peppemea6977]

Simply Amazing!

[@AmberMarieArtStudio]

This is gorgeous! 😍

[@DaCostaStudio]

Awesome work!!

[@jakestaples8498]

Great job!

[@knubson]

Sorry I am late. Beautiful work - I am inspired by your work - thank you for doing this

[@arthaiser]

in wylochs next session: W: you see, in the distance, a heavily fortified city of some sort, the big walls are already visible from your... p1: we should avoid cities, maybe we should simply take a shortcut throught the forest? p2: yeah, i dont see why we should risk entering a city now p3: i usually like cities, but this time i think that i prefer the forest yes W: ...

[@Robert-bm2jr]

Awesome, and hilarious!

[@taylornickell]

Thank you so much for this! New to crafting and wanted to build a fort for a big battle but couldn't find anything for battlements (I think I was keyword searching wrong) but this is perfect! Any suggestions for other videos I should watch to help as well? Or for cutting the foam without hot tools?
