'Here is a dwarf for scale.' This is a reference standard that needs to be employed on the TV news.

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

Really the beautifulest you ever craft

[@RevRaak]

I love watching you make custom minis with simple materials. The end result is always so, so impressive!

[@BardsCraft]

Thank you

[@modelsfromscratch]

Your cardstock builds are my favourite - classic Bardscraft! I’m off to eat a mountain of öats so I can make one too.

[@BardsCraft]

Good luck with the öats bröther

[@TomJones0065]

We really REALLY NEED THIS GUY BACK IN OUR LIVES! He was SO AWESOME at his Builds, I miss the GREAT WORK OF THIS ARTIST! What Happened!!! Hope you and Your Girlfriend are Well and Safe! God Bless!!

[@BardsCraft]

Thank you. I now make bushcraft/asmr/adventure videos on Age of the North

Hello! I stumbled upon your channel recently, and I like your mini-work. As a Scenic Designer, who works often in scale models of sets, one tip I can give you involves making fire "glow." Use an LED, as you do. But, glue a bit of wrinkled, thin, white plastic shopping bag, or oats bag, loosely over the light. Paint it with yellow, orange and red, and black blotchy streaks, a bit. Let the white still show through here and there. Lay your "coals and firesticks" on top, and treat them as you like. Turn the light on. There's a glowing fire in there! I have even done this trick life-sized on-stage, and in large dioramas. It always looks good. The white plastic peeking through the colors, and the coal bits gives that "white-hot, ashy coal" look of a good, hot fire. Try it!

[@Octopugilist]

I've always adored your custom dragons. They have so much personality and presence compared to a plastic model

[@FallenSailor]

What a beauty! Dead trees around a poison cone-breathing dragon make a lot of sense to me and the beast itself is a majestic wyrm! Thank you for posting this. Your clips are always a gift.

[@BardsCraft]

Dead trees makes sense 👍

[@Tyrisalthan]

Great ideas here. Using pva glue to make details to highlight, I never seen that being done before. Definately will try to do it myself. Also flowers front wood shavings, another good idea.

[@unperson5713]

Hack and slash artistry! You keep it loose and have great results!

[@carrie4910]

I ❤️ the dragon! The wings are fantastic!

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

You wouldn’t know that started life as a cereal box. Brilliant work xx

[@themakeshop1499]

Very nice, a Christmas Dragon!

[@CrankyPantss]

Great job. Your custom figures are always fun to watch being made.

[@ToastofValor]

I never get tired of watching these

[@k1ngsw0lf41]

At first glance you'd think the dragon is wearing armor. You have a lot of talent👍🔥

[@АндерГаунт]

Восхитительно. ) Как косплеер и крафтер , я восхищен твоими драконами. Техникой их создания. Хочу попробовать с братом и сестрой сделать так же.

[@Bombasticuso]

This is epic!!!!Can't wait to see what the next dragon is going to look like.

[@Eomer2202]

Awesome dragon and great diorama. Its a very easy way to get your hands on some cool minis. Furthermore I really enjoy your ideas using simple and sustainable materials most of the time! Keep going!

[@SebLeCaribou]

Great build! I love seeing more mini building too! Your cardboard dragon looks very nice.

[@shelleycovey8437]

Wonderful! I would never have thought of doing this!

[@kaig.-s.1040]

It's beautiful. It inspires me. I am happy now

[@Heeeynald]

this would made a beautifull steel dragon!

[@bertrandd3813]

You have a very soothing voice. Great video!

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Not sure how many dragons and Phoenix type birds you can make but I like watching each vid you come up with making them. I made a dragon I was going to put above a hot wheels track I was building for my grandson. He loves it will fly it around the room and is very careful with it. Think I'll build another maybe with his claws spaced so he can hold a hot wheel car in them.

[@Nate-dj9nt]

Protein scoops make very useful cups for crafting. I like that you use yours too 😉

[@Rurexer]

The texture on the wings made from glue looks really good

[@erc1971erc1971]

I love the look of nature scenery in your terrain. It has the look of an old, dying forest that holds the remains of some ancient civilization. Very reminiscent of the scenes in Return Of The King when Frodo and Sam were journeying towards Mordor. It also fits the look I have envisioned for my current D&D campaign. And, that dragon mini is very impressive! Wow!

[@JohnSmith-un9fy]

I may have to give this method a try. I like the natural element that you added. Looks great.

[@johnatkinson755]

Another inspirational build from you simple but very effective thank you

[@pandoratheclay]

Zero dislikes,just how i like it

[@Iron_Clad_D3]

I was scared when I saw the red being added with the green XD I have fallen in the Christmas trap before. Luckily it didn't come through and it looks fantastic!

[@BardsCraft]

I'll change the video title to "Jolly Christmas Dragon" when the season cometh. Stonks

[@drewadams6667]

That was amazing , better than some of the expensive minis in my hobby shop. Thank you for the information and inspiration, we are lucky to have you to guide us

[@7someone]

Excellent build as always. For tree flocking what I have seen that looks good is you could string out cotton balls for a base then you can stick whatever you like onto them. The cotton ball strung out holds whatever you like like a net and the trees look like they're in full bloom.

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks I might try that!

[@sindarpeacheyeisacommie8688]

Suggestion: soak the cardboard components a little before bending to shape. This will make them more pliable and easier to form. The downside is they must be dried out prior to gluing or painting.

[@CrankyPantss]

I don’t know why he'd have to do that extra step. They look good the way he does it.

[@janikaarela8540]

Awesome! I'd like to see some sort of a scratch made vaguely humanoid demon next! A Balrog perhaps?

[@JCetto.2612]

Awesome build! The dragon is wonderfully done!!

[@davidu8283]

Wow, incredible job! 😀👍

[@MKempICI]

Very nice wing texture, sir.

[@априотаприот]

Смотрю с огромным удовольствием твои видео. Они вдохновляют меня на подобную работу.

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

These looks great . Nice work and good inspiration . Got some ideas to pick up and use for my pojects !

[@bajkerjohnvolta]

well you definitly have interesting aproach to making figurines and terain. :D Keep up good job man :)

[@Mattycrafts]

It's always fun watching you work on projects, and seeing you grind all the time is awesome! keep making great videos😁

[@lawtiragetarot]

Well done what talent! Thanks for sharing your video, your diorama is really cool.

[@jacinto3513]

#LEGEND!!!! This looks awesome, amazing!

[@lesterleysath1000]

Amazing dragon!!!

[@patrollerbot7829]

Man your videos are so good, you really do not deserve this recent dip in views. I can’t wait to see you as one of the biggest crafting creators!

[@lucycannon6732]

You have a great talent with these scratch builds, always so impressive!

[@paoloruzzene34]

I always enjoy how you can make every sort of terrain, or buildings, or creatures out of cheap materials like this dragon! And it really looks amazing! So simple and effective. I even took inspiration from your works and suggestions, and started simply by painting minis and some bits of terrain. I'm working on a themed dice tower now, and I would like to have your opinion!

[@ryubiskj]

thats such a fun and creative idea! i will definitely take notes on this

[@minisarefuntopaint]

Bark often falls off trees, and you can then pick it up off the ground without risking hurting the tree or bothering anyone. That's how I get my bark.

[@leogreen8758]

Love that ! "Cute gigant lizard" my favorit :D

[@earthmanbrick]

Fine build, man. Most of my own scratchbuilds & sculpts have card bases too. Great work as always, dude

[@thekylederek]

OUTSTANDING

[@ohlookaflower.5961]

Another top-tier video!

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

Your card stock minis are my favorite... Please keep doing them!

[@sw33n3yto00]

Wicked build. Your dragons are always amazing.

[@jakeclark3930]

Looks Great Lucas will definitely have to get the template to try to make one

[@andyduncan770]

Very nicely done

[@БледныйЙорик]

Good job, as always! Thx for video!

[@ryanhill6080]

Nice! New Bard's Craft hot off the press!

[@comicfan92]

Yes! More custom minis!!!

[@IceDragon978]

This is awesome. I'd really like to see your take on a Shadow Dragon and a Shadowfell diorama to go with it, now that you've got all kinds of sophisticated techniques.

[@BardsCraft]

I'll keep that idea in mind. Shadow dragon would be cool to make

[@AvocationNation]

I like it, it looks good!

[@leogreen8758]

Could you ever try to make flowers or some other flora out of pencil peelings ?

[@followingdnd1434]

I want you to remake the titan now that your skills have evolved. It is my favorite custom mini.

[@katmom49]

It is lovely! Thanks for sharing.

[@grotoiler6104]

Very cool! seems like a nice relaxing project :)

[@lrs_raider]

Awesome job, bro! You made a very beautiful dragon. I would just not add trees to make it a mountainous area. This diorama reminded me of a scene from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[@shawnmulberry774]

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

[@ArmageddonUnlimited]

AT LAST! Another cardboard miniature! - That's why I came to your channel in the first place! That's the build we like to see! KEEP IT UP! :)

[@davidlagunafernandez6476]

Un trabajo fantástico. 👍👍

[@thecraftsmansguide1357]

[@hasnamansoor3418]

Amazing finest work

[@GivanioMelo]

Did you already used a blender or a food processor to process your bark? if yes, how is it compared to the hand chopped bark?

[@mmssel3559]

it is really amazing dragon

[@quaza1128]

Great video as always!👌

[@mahmoud_ali_963]

How do you start so good also what was your hardest build?

A tanky worm. Stealing that.

[@ninjathanch]

You are a genious.

[@quaza1128]

I literally love your channel Lucas, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the videos, you inspired me to start building my own dioramas

[@wookie6819]
