How to Craft a small house for tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons

Today we will be crafting a dnd house from a milk carton. It’s a cheap and easy build that I’m sure you will come to enjoy. I think that some of my favorite builds are those that are versatile. This is definitely one of those projects. Crafting houses for tabletop role-playing games is a must have. Hope to see you on the next one fam.

[top secret tip] Between the wire brush and drawing woodgrain is the plastic comb method. Remove the very ends of a plastic comb - which are wider than the actual teeth. After you've scored in your plank lines drag the comb across the foam, with a little wiggle you get very convincing grain. Most plastic combs have two different sizes of teeth, so you can produce to different scales of woodgrain [sshh! don't tell anyone!]

Keith Stewart I cant wait to try that out.

The shingle texture came out awesome with that hot knife. That lattice pattern works well with the windows too. Run a little LED light in there and boom! Glowing hearth beckons weary travellers.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

I am thinking of doing a few more buildings so I might get to try that on video.

[@MegaJamesAndrew]

As soon as you pulled out the templates for the roof I fell in love; this milk carton idea is genius! might be one of the best crafts of the year!

[@bobbech9571]

You are so good at this it looks so realistic keep doing this man!

[@thedollardm4672]

Gave me an idea for quick row-houses, and brilliant idea on roof tiles!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

DDM The Dollar DM awesome, let me know how it turns out.

[@maxpower3050]

You and Black Magic are kicking ass!!! Keep those videos coming!!!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Max Power that’s a big name to get put next to 😮

[@nathanexplosionn]

Uh...yea. this guy is NOWHERE NEAR BMC

[@samtico8477]

This is really cool stuff. This makes me feel like I can craft stuff myself. I wish I could paint like that though.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

samtico if you look at my first video, I had no confidence in painting. I can do a video on what I’ve learned as a painter? If that something you are interested on, maybe start building some confidence?

[@samtico8477]

Franky D. Crafter thanks franky! Appreciate it! Yeah I feel like that was always a big barrier for me to ever making anything like a model. Painting was hard and I would be frustrated with how my thing turned out versus what I would see in pics. It was even worse if I felt like I messed up a certain part. No eraser there 😅

[@FrankyDCrafter]

samtico I know what you mean. A great mindset about painting is to think you can always paint over something. And do thin coats. I’ll work on the video, but heads up. I’m usually ahead on my videos so what i work on now won’t come out till two weeks from now. It’s just the way I stay ahead of schedule. If you don’t mind waiting.

[@samtico8477]

Franky D. Crafter hey no pressure. I'm grateful for any incite you have on it. If it takes a while or doesn't come out hey I get it. Life happens. Just keeping doing you 👍👍😁

[@AndresLopez-uw5tz]

Loved this video, really saves time for buildings

[@TheDungeonMattster]

Franky D. Awesome! I am gonna steal this idea! Such a good way to use found materials! :D

[@FrankyDCrafter]

TheDungeonMattster I love it. It’s so much easier to build around it. And it keeps all my dimensions the same, I don’t have to worry about anything structure wise.

[@BardsCraft]

Steal everything you can!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Bard's Craft Lmao 😂

[@EmethMatthew]

Good stuff

[@MarsKng]

Great video, keep it up! I need to try that hot knife.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

MarsKng it’s great for precision. I have it on the description as an affiliate link.

[@joehayward4545]

Very awesome. I have decided on the kelpie stable that I will not be making a clear base surrounding it with the base filled with resin. It would cost to much. So I am doing the items that I was going to put in the base as random scatter terrain. When done I will send you a picture or 2 & get your opinion if you don't mind? Your work always is very enlightening. Keep them coming.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

joe hayward no problem with me at all

[@Danutty]

That happy accident needed more time and focus. I think it shows a very good mentality for the hobby. Stuff happens, learn to go with it a bit!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Daniel Straw very true, I wish I did too actually. It’s moments like that that make the craft truly yours.

[@MonsterPainter]

Great Tutorial.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Thanks!

[@robins5314]

Great job amigo!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Robin S thank you! 👍😁

[@mrziman6345]

Dude you make such cool stuff. I just discovered your channel and love your work. Thank you for making videos like this. Love watching makers.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Mr Ziman that’s awesome to hear. Happy to keep making videos

[@Moontherion]

Amazing.

[@cabeskywalker4346]

Love the videos!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

I think ill do more buildings soon.

[@jimmyh.4937]

Why did you cut off the bottom of the carton?

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Jimmy H. It wasn’t flat. I was waiting for someone to ask me this. I thought more people would ask.

[@joshthiqq1373]

Is there anything you can use instead of grout for texture?

[@FrankyDCrafter]

You could use pva glue and baking soda. Or pva glue and very fine sand works really well too.

[@joshthiqq1373]

@@FrankyDCrafter thanks!
