FANTASTICAL Tabletop Terrain - My BIGGEST Dungeons and Dragons Project

[@joek600]

Thats a great build and really nice video production too. What I really appreciated was the simple and cheap materials. Please keep this in mind even after your channel grows, as Im sure it will. The bigger youtubers get all kinds of sponsorship and many times they forget that not everyone (not even them, afew years ago) can spend 200-300 euros in branded overpriced materials, just for one piece of terrain. If I was building this though, I would use xps foam for the whole mountain. The cost is not significant larger, the weight is only slightly heavier, but xps can be carved with a knife and textured with a few interesting rocks, into a very realistic rocky surface and can withstand gaming abuse. That would save the plaster face step and keep the whole construction possibly 30-40% lighter. The aluminum foil molds are cool, but there is a way to make a mold out of that much more interesting textured bark, without spending like 100 euros. You just need the simple transparent vinegar smelling silicone caulk from a hardware store (less than 5 euros), some corn starch and abit of acrylic color or even food coloring if you have it around. You just mix the ingredients in a plastic bag, in order to not make a mess, and you end up with a putty that can be pressed on the surface or object you want to copy. It will set in about 15-20 min depending on the amount of corn starch, and create a very durable silicone mold, where you can pour your plaster in.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I like the workflow with those plaster rocks as you can hide a lot of mistakes you make while building. I tried carving rocks out of xps and it never really looked right to me tbh as I tend to cut to much away. I guess I could use more practice with that :D Your suggestion with the silicone molds sounds interesting. Thanks for that! Gonna try that in the future.

[@Al2020]

Wow Matt your terrain building is getting better and better, not that it was bad to begin with but that looks awesome 👏

[@LenricsRealm]

Thank you very much!

[@shinychipmunkgx4573]

You are amazing the best miniature hobby KZbinr!!!

[@LenricsRealm]

Well I don’t know about that tbh but still thank you for your kind words 😀

[@Stormdrop1]

This is great stuff. I started out not so long ago making small models, but wanted to go big! The foil trick with plaster is a very good tip, thanks for the vid

[@LenricsRealm]

You're absolutely welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@SeeAche]

Insane. Absolutely gorgeus

A VERY late congratulations on reaching over 1000 subscribers!

[@LenricsRealm]

Thank you so much! Still an unbelievable thing though 😀

[@countryfriedminis]

Fantastic build! Your production value is remarkable, and I'll definitely be back for more.

[@LenricsRealm]

Thank you so much!

[@FauxNorth]

What an incredible piece! I know I'd be blown away if this was laid down on my game table. I also love how accessible the build is, it didn't seem to require much specialized equipment aside from maybe a wire cutter for the foam work. Killer job on this one, and I'm already looking forward to whatever you make next!

[@LenricsRealm]

Even the wire cutter is not necessary tbh. You could easily use a cutting knife and do the same as you don’t need the clean cuts. And even the 3D printed parts could be replaced by a bunch of cheap pencils glued together. Thank you very much for watching and your kind words!

[@theinstantnoodle9628]

It looks like the stones going "Eyyyy!"

[@LenricsRealm]

😄

[@travelwell8098]

Du bist ein Kunstler!

[@toab77]

An epic piece to put on the table! I would have love to see some minis on it at the end to get a better sense of scale :)

[@LenricsRealm]

Thank you! And thanks for the great suggestion! I‘ll try to keep that in mind for the upcoming projects.

[@nodcast-]

Incredible!

[@J0hnnieP]

A great piece of work, nicely done, and documents. And I watched it twice so I could take notes for some dioramas I'm working on.

[@LenricsRealm]

Awesome! Thank you for that! Great to see you’re getting some inspiration from the video!

[@WiNNiep00h]

Ich beneide dich ja, dass du so viel Zeit hast, sowas zu machen :D mein neuer Drucker steht schon 10 Monate rum, ohne ihn auch nur einmal getestet zu haben^^

[@LenricsRealm]

Und trotzdem habe ich das Gefühl, nicht genug Zeit dafür zu haben 😄

[@TioMostFrio]

How are you not huge? This video was great. You earned my sub friend. Looking forward to your next project

[@LenricsRealm]

Thanks for the sub and welcome to this small corner of KZbin :)

[@MatchaFF14]

I want to make it too!

[@CampaignTerrain]

Looks amazing. Really liking the stairs, and the mixed grit finishes

[@LenricsRealm]

Thank you Cross! Happy you like it. Almost went the other way around with the grit (first applying then painting) but I’m glad I did it this way. It looks way better this way imho.

[@CampaignTerrain]

Good call. The natural dirt look is much better

[@Mantus86]

wow! inspiring

[@recoveringlibertarian5982]

Dude very cool

[@cerisekappes580]

Incredible!!!! Love the video and especially the results! 😊

[@LenricsRealm]

Awesome! I'm happy you like it and thanks for watching!

[@P.Heinemann]

Cooooooooooooooooooool! Gruss Pierre

[@ryanstrochinsky611]

Great video, I am enjoying your channel. I think with the large piece of cork you could make a cheap mold with silicone (just like the type you get in culking tubes) to have texture for your rocks that is a litte more interating than the aluminmum. Just a thought... gr8 build!

[@ryanstrochinsky611]

and another thing worth a try... wrap the aluminum foil around the face of the cork, this will give u a crude mold... youd need to put it into something like a sandbox to support it

[@LenricsRealm]

Thanks for adding this! I thought about using cork bark or moles made of cork bark but they would have been a bit too chunky for gluing them to the eps. But I definitely agree that this would give the mountain an even more interesting texture.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

That looks amazing❤

[@Nanuma91]

I´m sure your Player are happy to watch this video w/o spoiler. Nice Terrain! Looks really fun! good job It looks so massiv and heavy, even if I know it´s Foam... how much is the weight? @lenric´s realm?

[@LenricsRealm]

Thanks Thomas! It really was a lot of fun to build this! Glad you like it! It's not that heavy tbh. Maybe 1 -2 kilos? Pretty bad with estimating weights :D

[@IcarusGames89]

I absolutely love all this. if I can ask though, what is it that you say you add to the mixture? Tile grout? I've heard you say it other videos but I couldn't figure out what that material is

[@LenricsRealm]

Yes tile grout. It’s basically wall filler, normally used for real life tile work. You’ll find it at hardware stores powdered or already premixed.

[@monamiferdinand]

Not the subject of the video, but those are nice looking trees. Are they sculpted or 3d printed?

[@LenricsRealm]

These are 3D printed: www.printablescenery.com/product/gnarly-trees-with-canopies/ They may even be the first things I printed with my 3D printer 😄

[@seykken]

17:21 what is this song's name? it's incredible, also your work. Amazing project!!!

[@LenricsRealm]

This is the one: artlist.io/song/107424/deepest-dive

[@aaronjecevius5969]

Those trees u had in a box were badass man. U make em? If so u gotta video? I like having a variety of styles for houses and scatter terrain. Also really digging the modular 3d map u made. That's pretty cool man.🤘🍻

[@LenricsRealm]

The trees are 3D printed: www.printablescenery.com/product/gnarly-trees-with-canopies/ I just added custom bases and tried to get rid of the layer lines. And thanks for your kind comment! I really appreciate it!

[@aaronjecevius5969]

@@LenricsRealm don't thank me man it's an honest comment 🍻 I subscribed to your channel today and am checking out some of your work. I always support fellow crafters and their channels. You're always finding new ideas and new ways to approach things when doing so. I really liked your gm screen. I want one styled like the necronomicon. With sewn up flesh. Some eyeballs. Maybe a finger or two sticking out of the cover.
