Dead Trees - Miscast Terrain - S01E05

[@Miscast]

I've been using too much EVA foam recently, this is me branching out

[@Miniac]

how long did it take you to think of that

[@Miscast]

I don't want to talk about it

[@tantordoe5958]

Finally, your channel isn't limited to only stones. Now we have sticks and stones... may break my b- Second thoughts, maybe go back to the stones. On a serious note, would you consider making different theme types of warp portals (Icy, flamy, rocky)?

[@Miscast]

Hahah! I'd love to make some sort of warp portals, a friend of mine made an amazing one with LED lights, I'd like to try something like that for sure, once I work out a unique design, I'll do a video

[@tantordoe5958]

I hadn't even thought of the LED part, sounds great

[@massiveshank9433]

"Baby powder", with a razor blade. Seems suspicious.

[@DickCheese182]

Using coke for your crafting projects, guy must be loaded.

[@benweinberg3819]

My man...for the few number of videos you have out there, you are consistently one of THE BEST terrain crafters I have seen. Your work combines the quality of several much more well-known channels with the ease of several DIY casual youtubers. and of course, you have probably the best production quality as well. Don't sweat us having to wait longer for videos if you cant make them this often in the future, we will all patiently await your return. As an aside, if you need ideas for your next terrain, maybe either something icy or something modular like tiles for a tabletop RPG? Would be really cool to see how you tackle those in EVA foam.

[@Miscast]

Damn dude, thank you for the kind words that really means a lot. I'd love to do modular tiles and I've had it on the top of the list since I've began but every terrain builder and his dog has at least 1 tile video, some even have channels nearly dedicated to it. So I'm holding off until I can find a way to really separate myself. I have some D&D games coming up so maybe now is the time! Stay tuned!

[@999rubicon]

Love your channel. Most KZbinrs ramble for 2 to 3 minutes before they get started. Love how you’re right in it 1st thing. And it’s great stuff

[@ilyazakharov1470]

Very nice idea and tutorial! Be wary of stabbing yourself on the pointy branches though. I found out, that you can use baking soda instead of baby powder, it creates a similar effect.

[@Miscast]

The spears on my metal models are pointier! You can always file the wire down at the points or use thicker wire, but I found the texture rounds over the ends nicely, and it stands up to play testing. Yes baking soda will have the same effect! This is my first time using baby powder, I used baking soda previously. They react the same way to super glue but have different consistencies in texture.

[@DireSwift]

I've been experimenting with making trees. Picked up 165 feet of garden twist tie for $1 at Menards (like a Lowes or Home Depot), made a tree, covered them in thick hot glue, covered each of those in drywall filler, another in Durham's Water Putty and another in a home made Sculptamold (Durham's and shredded toilet paper) and all came out good enough. So many ways to make these crafts of ours.

[@codisnow9735]

In case any one is watching these recently. I used Pipe cleaners and Oven bake clay instead of wire and epoxy. Works really well. Basically make the tree out of pipe cleaners hit with a torch lighter to melt the "fur" from the wires then cover the wire base with oven back clay. Then hit the clay with a torch lighter and it "cooks" the clay well. This video inspired me in a sense thats why im posting this in case anyone else is making them and dont want to use epoxy and what not

[@Miscast]

Great to hear this video inspired you and you problem solved with materials you had access to :)

[@MD-pc1yr]

"I'm not very good at sculpting..." * * *Proceeds to sculpt the crap out of it* Suuuuure you're not. Just found your channel today because I'm thinking of getting into terrain building and I'm def. bingeing the whole thing. Awesome work and GREAT production quality!

[@minitzonthesun]

Smart man, Milliput is the best material for this. I let the first layer cure and then sculpted spooky faces on the trunks.

[@Miscast]

minitzonthesun spooky faces!? Genius.

[@jakublhotan9029]

I Love the compact format of your videos! In five minutes i learned so much ! Thank you 😊

[@cynr1246]

really cool! looks far better than most of the pre-built trees available on the market currently, will definitely be giving this a try

[@Miscast]

Thanks! There is a lot of reward in making your own

[@dvictorbrown]

I've been watching a few of your videos and I really like the different and innovative approaches to traditional terrain making. Nice work!!

[@MakkaDownunder]

Trent my dude. Doing a graveyard, totally making these if I have time. Thanks for the video!

[@jakublhotan9029]

I Love the compat format of your videos ! 😊 i learned so much in under the 5 minutes . Thank you 😊

[@dinkosaurusrex7746]

Simple and effective with a nice outcome

[@thehippiecrafter7439]

I love your videos! Your voice is also ridiculously soothing.

[@norcalonline1]

Top notch, mate. You make it look easy. I'll give them a shot. Thanks, --Bo

[@Miscast]

Awesome! Good luck

[@johnlombardijr.3640]

Excellent video! The plumbers putty.... is that like "Green Stuff".

[@Miscast]

Yes. All the brands of plumbers/modelling epoxy are slightly different. Games Workshop is slightly rubbery and has a long drying time. Milliput is very strong and sculpts like clay. My favourite for this application is milliput and I buy it online because its cheaper than the hardware store. Hope that helps

[@MacDaddyTito]

Learning a ton here. Thank you.

[@chaostheory1007]

Just became a new subscriber. Impressed with the terrain and previous episodes. Simple cheap and effective. Really good quality. Idk about you but fallout Wasteland Warefare is coming out. The board/rock barriers, half building, cathedral, and tree is gonna go so good in this soon to be out table top. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@MKalavera111]

perfect. Nice speed. On the point. Like I like it!

[@RabidlyTaboo]

you sir have a new sub. not into wh40k but am huge into d&d. this stuff is great. look forward to more

[@johnharrison7997]

Brilliant video. Cheers mate.

[@Miscast]

Thank you! More to come!

[@idunparks9971]

I love this tutorial for making trees. Awesome job thank you

[@DebbieBuckland]

Fabulous trees

[@ZackWilliamsPANCAKE]

Well done!

[@sablechaud3870]

Nice i will try this for my terrain !!

[@marceli-wac]

Great stuff mate, keep em coming!

[@scottbuchanan726]

Love your vids! Can't wait to try out your templates for your other projects, will let you know how they turn out.

[@ryanfranks452]

Very impressive, Man. Keep it up. Ill definitely be donating and pulling those templates. Thanks for the video.

[@SamArChir]

Love your videos! Thank you for them.

[@viktornicht260]

Great tutorial, as always, and great result. As always. Thanks for this vid :)

[@wwoolofl8056]

What gauge wire is that? Also affiliate Amazon links to get some extra pennies?

[@WGConsortium]

Great vid

[@Name-ps9fx]

You’re so enjoyable to watch, you could so a tutorial on how to make average-sized rocks and I’d watch it.

[@Miscast]

Haha, aw man thanks so much!

[@cooperhusky6328]

1k like!!! Love what ur doing man.

[@davidbrown4849]

OK, I'm not sure what the protocol is for asking questions on a vid that's nearly two years old, but what's the deal with the toothpicks shoved into the base? Just to add strength or am I missing something?

[@Miscast]

They're there to prevent warping from the glue. :) 2 years later however I've learned this is easily remedied by just putting an 'X' of glue on the other side. :)

[@davidbrown4849]

@@Miscast Many thanks, I figured it was probably an anti-warping technique, but had to ask in case there was some hidden voodoo I was missing.

[@Sbeowulf98]

You got my sub man!! love making terrain!

Amazing just amazing

[@samjones677]

it was great c: ur an epic gamer for sure x

it was good buddy! It was good! lol

Keep it coming!

What gauge of wire are you using?

[@carlitossama]

Fuck!!! Simple but very effective!! Congratulations!!! And thanks a lot!!

[@caspianeubanks3834]

This is great keep up the good work

[@Flamethrower1942]

what is the thickness off the wire? Great vid

[@jonm3915]

I wonder what brand of "plumber's epoxy" you're using.

[@Miscast]

haha, the point is it's not important for the tutorial. It also doesn't stop people asking haha.

[@kosachilles2504]

This was great!

[@DriveThruReview]

It was good.

[@Heath86]

Love your videos!!

[@Miscast]

Thanks!

[@samzemlicka-retzlaff8888]

Not sure if you have already answered this, but why do you put sand onto the base after you paint the tree and not before? I would have done the sand before priming. Is there an advantage you see in doing it the way you do it?

[@Miscast]

No advantage, I just didn't know how I was going to base it until the end :) Most of the time it will all be primed together, then painted together, then flocks applied.

[@samzemlicka-retzlaff8888]

@@Miscast Thanks! Love the videos man. The jungle terrain video inspired me to make some of my own terrain

[@Miscast]

@@samzemlicka-retzlaff8888 Aw great to hear! Thank you!

Would modge podge work in place of epoxy?

Where do you buy your foam board and epoxy? Thanks

[@TheStandOutBoy]

Amazing videos! Please keep it up!! =D

[@ethanlittle5489]

I was looking at how to make some terrain and I clicked on the first video that came up and I was just like "hey I play mordhiem with this guy!"

[@Miscast]

Haha thats meee! Thanks for watching dude

[@ethanlittle5489]

Hobbles will fall!! All we need is for the dogs to get him... 😈

[@JeffG-n8p]

Ha. Cool trees.

[@terrain-hardy]

Nice work and please make many more vids ;-)

[@pri-ra]

super nice

[@sugababesrule]

Would it be easier to use green stuff or clay?

[@Miscast]

In this video I'm using a generic modelling/plumbers epoxy. Green stuff is just another brand of modelling epoxy, they all perform a little bit different to each other but they're fundamentally the same. Modelling epoxy dries pretty tough (or in Green Stuff's case, slightly flexible) and I find it much easier to work with. Clay on the other hand would not be very good as when it dries it as it becomes very brittle and any flex of the armature will result in cracks and chips. Try to find the cheapest modelling epoxy for projects like this. Hope that helps!

[@TheHybrid96]

Please could you make a video on how to make living trees? Also your channel is awesome. :)

[@DD-bv9jl]

3 vids in one year?Wow nice

[@terrain-hardy]

how many have you made ...?!!

[@DD-bv9jl]

TERRAIN HARDY I mean he used to upload 1 vid per year this is a very nice upgrade and i am very very happy

[@terrain-hardy]

okay ... cool ;-))

[@robertserban8666]

this is so asome ty 4 the video man u ar asome

[@Tonks143]

Miliput is non toxic lol

[@thedragonden3294]

What wire was this? I know it doesn't really matter but I'm curious

[@Miscast]

Tie wire I'm pretty sure, used for things like concreting

[@f8nomore]

This is very helpful! Thanks! :)

[@joshheths1929]

What else can I use instead of epoxy

[@Miscast]

Clay but it will crack if the wire vends Tissue and PVA glue work okay too

[@joshheths1929]

Miscast awesome thanks

[@danemorley86]

o.O I don't even anymore - what have you done with the actual miscast terrain? too spooky for me (EDIT: it was good)
