I do the hobby since 1984.... and you are one of the most creative guy.... especially in making you own cheap things......... that is one of my own objectives in the hobby, too. You gave me very good ideas! Thank you!

[@garoyse]

I like how the cardboard and pulverized bark make a layered stone look. That’s a good technique.

This one is awesome. And the fact that is done only with cardboard but the result is so good.

[@Me-uh5bm]

Yes

[@Me-uh5bm]

Yes I have tried to find a video like this

[@trevorreid4082]

I think my favourite thing about all his work is that he uses a kitchen knife (and, if I'm not mistaken, a sword in one scene) to do a lot of his work... plus the fact he uses The Silmarillian as a weight. Awesome work!

[@marktownsend2198]

That went from scraps of cardboard to awesome terrain really fast. The bark and flocking work amazingly.

[@luxzartheglorious]

I've recently taken up the hobby of building miniature locations, not for d and d but just for fun and your videos have greatly inspired me. Thank you

[@Iwanosky23]

Cheap materials, good ideas, brilliant result!

[@gearmachine8454]

Imagine putting hours of work into this project, and then the players decide not to go to that location...

[@dwyerd4532]

If your players don't go to that location, you bring that location to your players. Put it between where they are and where they want to go. Create a detour or something, or make them back track because of some random plot point you make up that makes them need to accomplish something before they show up to the place you weren't prepared for (while you start preparing the place they are headed in your mind😎)

[@lucasallen5415]

I like how when you were drawing out the rock formations at the beginning one of 'em looked a little bit like a flaccid dongle so you amended the outline haha But honestly man your stuff is actually inspirational to me, thank you for posting

[@MCwhiteStudios]

Just found your channel now, and thank you so much for this. I have barely any money, and barely any professional materials for crafting terrain, and I still want to be able to play and have items and structures to interact with. Although using fairly readily materials and techniques, they still looked so good, and were functional. This actually helps so much because I do have or at least have access to all of these materials. You just got a new subscriber.

[@rickcharlespersonal]

The bark into flocking is really clever! So much easier than some of the other DIY flocking techniques I've seen.

[@jimzecca3961]

Looks really great. I like the simple layered cardboard approach.

[@TheDrewjameson]

That spine technique! Genius.

[@juderudd1711]

I’m so jealous of that bark you found

I can't get over how good your paper/cardboard builds are. They're insane! I got to keep practicing.

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks!

[@Molop87]

Great choice of books /paper weights

[@dmmomma]

If I haven't said it before, this is one of the best vids out there. Watching it again, as it appeared in my feed, you cover so much in just these 12 minutes, it was great. Between your ideas and an Italian artist I watch, I am ready to hit the cardboard pile asap. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to give it a go. Wish me luck! Very inspiring man!

[@countzero1136]

WOW! This is truly incredible work! I wonder how many other people saw the thumbnail and thought the dragon skeleton was a plastic model. I couldn't believe it when I saw you making all this stuff by hand! Huge thanks to Wyloch for finding this channel and promoting it!

[@Jibanizer]

Great build all round. Love the scratch built dragon. The bridge deck from sprues though, pure genius.

[@ÉveildesAnciens]

Hello from France ! I just discovered your channel right now, and i really wanted to leave a comment. The first video i watched was the Dwarven Stronghold. And then, this Dragon's Gorge now. Both video are really amazing. The way you explain things, during the process, the music in the background. I was like, "that's really great" or "I really like these videos". You do exactly the kind of video i enjoy so much, because of the creativity, yes, and you give all the steps to do it myself. I'm into the whole fantasy universe, like, i love the RPG stuff, like Warhammer, D&D, RPG about Lord of the Ring and so on and so on, and i do Fantasy audiobook in my youtube channel. But i'm like a newbie to paiting. I painted a Warhammer Kroots squad when i was like 14/15 years old. I'm now 29, turning 30 this year (august) and i'm seriously thinking about going to paiting and starting this new creating experience. I even think to rent a bigger flat. to have one more room dedicated to this new adventure of creating and paiting. And i really want to do all this too, because of the videos like yours and others people i saw. Because i love these universes, it's great relaxing activity. Netxt video i'm going to watch is How to Craft & Use Terrain to Build Encounters in D&D. I'm definitely watching more of you. And of course i subscribed. Thank you again for your time and your works.

[@JCetto.2612]

Valley of the Drakes inspired??? I so love this!!!

[@grzegorzczapski968]

My Friend. You are genius! So simple, so elegant. Thank you!

[@thetowerkeeper]

Glad to see you using cardboard -its how we used to make our 'terrain' as kids (back in the 1960s!). Foam can be hard to get depending where you live as well as expensive. Cardboard seems to be everywhere and seeing this terrain piece and the excellent dwarven stronghold I think it ought to inspire many more terrain makers!

[@scimerio1117]

Wow, Man! That was awesome! Can't believe It is basically cardboard and glue!

[@santiagolozoya4940]

[@kaylaverkland858]

That skeleton is fantastic!

[@LeftToWrite006]

I liked that you used those books for holding down the hills (2:20-ish mark).

[@hackhenk]

The planks made out of sprews look beautiful!

[@VylyskaTechkov]

I really like how you used the cardboard in the build. The end result was great.

[@Mommamacnz]

This is a really cool build. And I now have a use for all those cardboard boxes I'm flattening after moving house!

[@timjacobs9543]

10:05 You can spray the flock with a 50:50 mix of water and wood glue to fix it forever. You won't see any of the glue after drying. Nice video!!!

[@magicmanscott40k]

This is pure genius. Love it

[@MalcIgg]

The cardboard hills look great I thin the chunky bits of bark flocking really works and that's the simplest bit!, love the skeletal dragon, and yep a Bone Naga could be done in the same way! Best build yet!

This is beautiful! You are very talented.

[@sgtporkchops6830]

So freaking cool mate, so impressive seeing such small details being made from scratch like that! Also, you openinhg your cupboard door and cardboard and foam spilling out reminded me of my cupboard 20 years ago when i was making warhammer scenery, damn i loved it so much ^_^

[@agentxavier1752]

Dude your Contend is awesome! Just stumbeled upon your dwarven ceep, and simply stayed! Your building with so much inspiering motivation and that for well over a year now. I hope you ceep building, not bigger but smarter! You prove that its not necesary to spend a lot of money on good looking scenery or to have the latest 3D-printing equipment to make these things. You simply come up with great simple triks to acheve your goals: like the dragon`s skeleton (Awesome!!! rly enjoied watching you figuring out how to exactly do things in the second youre building them) or your elementars. In a nutchell: Ceep it up! I`ll continue binchwatching the rest of your projects :D

[@agentxavier1752]

Uhh and PS: I would rly enjoi you filming a game of D&D, you carry out with your friends (if they agree) to show of glorius ensembles of your Work in aktion! again: Im rly looking forward to the future of this channel, ceep it up, you rock!

really cool skeleton😎 thanks for sharing👍

[@ph4403]

nice build. like the use of bark as flocking and stones. great idea. dill is a maybe. but i doubt i will wait 5 years to try it myself.

[@Beschaulichkeit]

This is //truly epic// brother! Thank you so much for the reminder that I don't need XPS foam to make nice landmasses. I will try this, tonight, but instead of using the bark flocking (as I don't have any right now) I will use sculptamold that I do have on hand to finish the edges. Fantastic work! Furthermore, the dragon skeleton is spot on! I've always wanted to add a detail like this but thought I could never pull it off. Your method looks very achievable and very convincing!

[@theQiwiMan]

Man you are just getting better and better! This is my favorite video of yours so far, you are AMAZING!!!

[@deadswordsman]

Very creative approach, like it. Dragon looks awesome and you did it with simple materials. Not sure about dill as a flock. I would suggest you to sprinkle isopropyl spirit (any spirit will do like denaturated alcohol or even pure ethyl spirit), then sprinkle diluted PVA glue. I do this for all of my flocking, it creates protective transparent surface and protects all the flocking from detaching, should work with dill, as there will be no contact with air, under the PVA coat.

[@eldasala9695]

I'm amazed to say the least! Well done, the result is incredible, and it's mainly out of cardboard, I can't believe it

The videos come off as professional and polished. Your delivery is relaxed and engaging and the processes you demonstrate are clear, concise and helpful.

[@davidpeterson4422]

[@timjacobs9543]

The cork flocking for the rock surface looks awesome. Instead of using cardboard to model the rocks, you could use thin layers of styrofoam, yeah the bubbly one. It is a mess, but cheap as hell and after covering it with paper mache (toilet paper + wood glue) or/and your wood flocking it will be as durable as any other material.

[@michaelwoffindin]

This is amazing. When I clicked I expected to see another chubby middle age person with an entire workshop of expensive tools and matrials. But then the video starts and I saw a fit young guy around my age who made some awesome terrain with matrials I could easily get or buy. Thank you! So refreshing to see something like this. Something than anyone can do without needing to spend a ton of money. Most cheap build videos are like "Make terrain for $5!" Then they go on to use £100 worth of tools and paints in their dedicated workshop.

[@BardsCraft]

Chubby middle aged persons are a display of weakness ;) Glad you like it!

[@bordenfleetwood5773]

That base flocking is amazing. Personally, I would use a resin/pva sealant on the dill to prevent mold or decomposition. Oxygen is the enemy!

[@pblackcrow]

Very nice. Also thank you for the tip on the dragon skull. As I plan on taking on the skeletal bridge reminiscent of the one in Red Sonja next year. Only there is a little man, (dad was an gnome his mother was a half ogre), who is a necromance who lives in the skull who collects a small toll for his bridge. He will also sells stuff there. He's Neutral.

Cardboard makes it wonderfully practical for most miniature games; angled terrain is liable to make minis fall over all the time, but layering it like this means even the most top-heavy mini should work :)

[@ArchieBoldster]

Fantastic and resourceconscient work! I´d like to suggest using a can of pva glue and a brush instead of a bottle for larger areas. You can also use PVA glue to shape ropes, the hang bridge ropes would curve down due to their own weight. A small nit pick ;) I cannot understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down for your video. Keep up the great work!
