*I truly love this one*

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you!☺️

[@yuxnux]

I was lucky to find adhesive cork sheets here in the states at the dollar store. It increased my build time exponentially. I bought tons of it hahaha

[@msterrainlab]

Wow! That sounds great! Good for you mate👍👍 I have never seen something like that here in Denmark...

[@SgtRenny]

I'm trying to use plaster for the finishing on the cork but the premixed wall filler seems way easier to use. Thank you for sharing your technique! Knowing how epic the final result is I can't wait to see part 2 :D

[@msterrainlab]

Yeah - I have had the same experience with the wall filler.

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you for support mate!! Will try my best to make the second part worth it!!!😊

[@thurdeye]

I'd love to see how you cast your walls!

[@msterrainlab]

It’s on the list “to do” videos😉

[@pebatabletopterrain329]

Good work mate! 😊👍

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nicholastolputt3566]

This is an incredible build! I've one question though: How do you make those plaster casts? I'd love to see that process as they look great and clearly speed up the time it would take to build something like this!

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you!😊 Short answer is: the same way as I’m doing my “regular” cork walls - only difference is to do it on a bigger piece of wood/pvc so it can be made into a base of the mold. Then I’m using silicon rubber to make imprint. Will try to make a separate video on how precisely I’m doing it - but can’t promise it will be out soon.

[@ulamorelowska7898]

Brawo!

[@msterrainlab]

A dziękuje serdecznie!!!☺️

[@markfeiszt4211]

Great video, subscribed! One question though, where in the video do you show how the white wall tiles are made? Watched the whole thing a couple of times but not seen it anywhere?

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you very much!😊 I’m happy you like it. Yeah, To be honest I have skipped this part… Those are my own casts - made the same way as my regular walls. I have created silicone molds to speed up the whole process.

[@sethdrallitoc9524]

Video pacing needs some work. We don't really need to see all the repeated processes but other than that a good start! I watched at I.75 speed (otherwise I probably would've fallen asleep with that music). I learned something new, with the filler over cork technique. Fantastic way to blend those materials. Thank you!

[@msterrainlab]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah... I know I could do it a bit different, but the learning curve is just impossible to skip😉 Hope the second part is more accessible!!😊

[@thebachelorslife964]

What are the cut squares in the stone texture across many pieces of your work for? A hidden light switch or cercit connection?

[@msterrainlab]

I think you are referring to window slots. I have made molds of the walls with the window openings (small square is just a piece to cover it if I want to use a whole piece as a solid wall)

[@B1ackSwordVids]

This is great! I love the use of cork sheets cut down to size for the stone work instead of using XPS foam. It seems a lot more easier to work with. Do you mind if I ask what thickness is those cork sheets (2mm?) and what brand premixed wall filler are you using please? We have some variety here in Australia and although its classified as "pre mixed wall filler" some are quite flaky and dont really bond well.

[@msterrainlab]

Thanks mate!😊 2mm it is - most of the time. Yeah it’s easier to work with. I don’t remember the brand of wall filler right now - I will be back in my studio on Monday and then I can check it on for you. Not sure if you will be able to find it but (I think) most important feature of the one I’m using is some kind of additional ingredient (which makes it a bit dusty - like there is some kind of grout added or something)

[@B1ackSwordVids]

@@msterrainlab oh thank you! Yes please if you could let me know that would be amazing!

[@msterrainlab]

It’s called “MegaFiller” by Polyfilla

[@B1ackSwordVids]

@@msterrainlab ah! Excellent! Thank you so much for the info! I so greatly appreciate it!

[@msterrainlab]

Sure mate😊 Happy I was able to help🙌🙌

[@dolf8869]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thank you

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you too!!!🙏🙏

[@MrSupertrooper1]

Thanks for showing this, I learned so much so quickly! But man. I really am not a fan of the music background.

[@msterrainlab]

I’m happy to hear! 😊 And thanks for letting me know.

[@sierraMaddin]

are this home made casts your own creation or are the molds buyable? if they are your creation it whould be interesting how you build the base for it and how you made the molds.

[@msterrainlab]

Yeah - all is homemade (including the molds)😊 Sounds like a good topic for the video - thanks mate!!!

[@yuxnux]

@@msterrainlab would love to see a video of your casting technique

[@msterrainlab]

@@yuxnux than maybe it will happen!😉

[@Jonas-yp4sz]

Nice video! I would love to get some audio commentary instead of the text. And the music is a bit sad. But apart from that - great work!!!

[@msterrainlab]

Thank you!😊 I was considering to have a voiceover but with time. Everything here is just a beginning - maybe I will even write a new song then😉
