Crafting Modular Palisade for Tabletop RPG (tutorial)

[@jacobhope6164]

Just going through, and re-watching these. You've really got a great esthetic sir!

[@stephanbaxter8145]

Nice work, good tutorial.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks!

[@johnnybigbones4955]

Thank you so much for this! A very clear and well explained tutorial. I had been trying to figure out a way to do a palisade for my celts for ages, and somehow never thought of using chopsticks. Lot of people collect twigs, but that seemed really laborious, this is much more reasonable!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Glad the tutorial comes uselful to you! Yeah this should do fine for Celts, Gaulish and celtic/later Iron age fortifications were my main influence for this. Also with this modular system you can either make a small palissade or a higher one et on walls, I also made sure the height of the pallisade was compatible with the modular hills i made so you can also use it to represent a wide soil backing as was ofter used behind Celt fortifications.

[@johnnybigbones4955]

@@LandvaettrsLair Yes, it is really well designed in that regard. I was going to use a wide soil backing as that is what I am most familiar with from Irish Ringforts. I immediately ran out to my local asian supermarket to get a massive pile of chopsticks, my wife was very amused!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

@@johnnybigbones4955 Awesome. I need to buy some too! I ran out of chopsticks before completing the whole set and it's been nagging at me lately. Good news if you use a soil backing you'll be done pretty fast since the walkway is clearly the most tedious and time consuming component of this craft.

[@MarsKng]

Love that intro, and great job on the project tutorial, keep it up with the innovative builds.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks! I shall do my best :D

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

1 dislike think that's your Chinese restaurant owner. You number 10 customer always ask for many chopsticks. Looks great Landva you always very interesting builds.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks Chris. Lol probably, we mosty order japanese though but hey they offer up to 4 chopsticks free of charge i only ask for what is already available. 😉 however building an actual set of modular palissade will surely ask a lot more of them. Buying them in bulk will most certains come cheaper!

That intro was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks glad I found the idea XD

[@Elderos5]

Great work, as usual! I really like your style and I will be trying my best to replicate your sandstone style. I've already made a few weapon racks with some success. I am blending a number of people's style that I watch on KZbin. When I get to stone work, I'll use your style. I'll be looking forward to the next build.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks ! In this tutorial i unfortunately forgot to show/mention i also did a drybrush of white over the salmon midtones of the stonework. But i did show it in other vid!

[@ModerateHipster]

Lovely work! I like your palisades better than mine! As an aside, I don't know how it's said in French, but in English, we usually pronounce "Celts" as "Kelts" not "Selts." The exception is Boston's basketball team: the Celtics (said as Seltics.) Historians invariably use the K sound.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks Alex! And thank you for the pronunciation tip! Celt is indeed pronounced "Selt" in French, hence the mistake.

[@paulbourguignon3632]

@@LandvaettrsLair it’s not a mistake :) French is French.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Sure! Let's settle for mispronciation, since the video was delivered in English after all! 😉

Amazing Project. Good Work!

[@andreazaltron6850]

wow incredible work man. also the paint job is perfect. i appreciated that you research the right color and not throw the horrible black coat that everyone does on rocks.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks ! Well i Guess it depends on what you're going for. Doing a dark stonejob seems pretty relevant if your going for some fantasy evil castle. But yeah if you want a more realistic approach limestone should defenetly be considered!

[@manukrafter8506]

Saw your FB post. Had to se it! :D

[@Walsfeo]

Excellent! Do you weather and wood grain the planks after they are attached for precision? I'd worry about messing it up but yours turned out great.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Yes mostly. But it'll be faster to do it beforehand on the whole coffee stirrer of course!

[@wirrawaywonderer6011]

This video really should have had 500,000 view. I've referred back to numerous times. Quality workmanship!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks man, much appreciated! Cheers!

[@gurzhag]

Why did you take the effort to do toothpicks on both sides of the walk wall if one is going to go against the vertical logs of the palisade so they won't be visible?

[@genericlegionaryrecruit7235]

Great video! What minis were on the palisade while you were showcasing the results? They look really nice

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks! These are from fireforge games miniatures. They're meant for wargaming and are plastic so are pretty affordable and look historic for XIVth-XVth century mean at arms.

[@genericlegionaryrecruit7235]

Thank you! I looked on the site and found them.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Merci! Content que mon contenu te soit utile. Les tutos ça traine un peu en ce moment a cause du taf mais il devrait y en avoir un nouveau dans pas longtemps je l'ai entamé il y a deux semaines...

[@patrickmasse7159]

Très bon rendu. Le mur de soutènement constitué de branchages est inédit pour moi. C’était utilisé au début du moyen âge ? En tout cas j’adore

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Merci, de mémoire c'est plutôt Celte ou Gallo-Romain, en tout cas c'est les cultures dont j'ai tiré mes sources. Mais les palissades se retrouvaient bien sûr dans les mottes castrales du haut moyen age, le soutènement était parfois absent ou constitué d'un remblai de terre pour les citadelles danoises par exemple. A ma connaissance ce type de soutènement d'est pas sourcé pour cette époque mais on reste dans la même logique de soutènement, de chemin de ronde et d'économie des matériaux, et puis en ce qui me concerne ça reste pour du jeu de rôle ;).

[@patrickmasse7159]

Landvaettr's Lair Merci pour ces explications. Le modélisme pousse à faire des recherches historiques voir archéologiques ce qui est enrichissant

[@999rubicon]

Wow. Breathtaking. Great job. Thanks

[@anonheart3522]

This tutorial was excatly what I needed for my upcoming tapletop RPG night. The palisade is sturdy, detailed and looks great. One question: What was the thickness of foam you measured for the wall walks? Inch or more? Also, thanks for the painting tips!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Sorry for the late reply. The catwalk needs to be at least larger than a miniature base but overall thicknesses is up to you. I'd say the wall was 2.5- 3 cm thick.

[@VelmiVelkiZrut]

This was you!? I remember seeing pictures of this bump across one of my crafting pages before, but never realized there was a tutorial out there.

[@allenflud]

I would like to see your interpretation of European monolithic structures perhaps with a fantasy or low fantasy twist. You have a creative approach to the craft keep it up.

[@nathanbrady5648]

Great build. Never seen the toothpicks used as packing material for the wall it looked great.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Thanks!

[@VikingFyre]

Silly question: could you use the chopsticks in a pencil sharpener to achieve the point?

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Ain't silly at all! Yes you could, I thought about it but it wasn't suiting to my chopsticks since they were mostly made out of hard bamboo with an eliptic section. But if you're using softer wood it can defenetly be an option to start removing most of the matter before scoring...

[@stephenrenwick8781]

Looking great sir, the wattle reinforcement certainly helps with the look of the wall base.

What is the ratio of dark umber to modge podge? I've never used modge podge before and have not been able to find how much of the modge podge to add to the paint.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

If your craftpaint is acrylic you can mix a ratio of 1/3 modpoge to paint, you can go up to 50/50. Depends how sturdy you want your piece, you will eventually loose details if you use too much also modge podge isnt cheap. If the paint is gouache gotta go for a 50/50 mix regardless though... hope this helped

What miniature line are your crossbowmen and archers?

Fireforge games miniatures. There meant for wargaming and come on boxes of twenty or so. Pretty affordable and also looks historical. However they are slightly smaller than most 28mm miniatures. Not totally off scale but they defenetly look like short men. I usually stick them on a thicker base and mostly use them as genereric soldiers.
