Guard Tower - Scatter Craft - Dungeons and Dragons Guard Tower - DND Tower Build - Castle Build Ep 1

Do I need another D&D Guard Tower? No. Did I make one anyways? Yes I did. This took a ton of foam bricks to make but it turned out great. Watch me build this Dungeons and Dragons guard tower and try building one yourself! This DND Tower Build is the first in my Castle Build Series. More to come on that! Leave a comment if you enjoyed! This is part 1 of my Dungeons and Dragons castle build series.
Thanks from Josh with Scatter Craft.😁

Hey everyone. Thanks for your patience with the audio balancing! I didn't realize the issue when I was editing this (sorry new to this). Be advised it gets a bit loud near the end.

[@ProjectMaelstrom]

it totally does XD

[@albertreed966]

Ok, I am hearing impaired anyway! I think that the audio should be recorded on a higher level so that on our end, we can turn the volume up or down to better hear. I realize that not everybody has the moola to buy the best equipment but, stop a think of your viewers and how they might or might now hear or see things on our end. Thanks so much!

[@aaronyoung9105]

Not going to lie. I loved the look of the wood b4 the blackwashing. Other that. Freaking amazingly beautiful.

[@prnzali2010]

Epic. This is playable art. Definitely inspirational. I can't wait to make one.

[@alanschwartz7073]

Well done, amazing brick count

[@lightningskull7]

have to admit the level of detail you put into your builds is nuts, and the editing awesome, think i found another underappreciated crafter that needs more subs

[@maxreynaud452]

Realy F Nice!!!!!!!!Love it, and i ll use your Tower Style to upgrate my towers!(if it ok with you!!!!) Thank a lot Mr Scatter Craft!!!!!!

[@ceranko]

That looks amazing!

[@albertreed966]

Very nice piece of art !

[@dougcunha4120]

Way cool

where did you go? we all miss your amazing content! hope to see you making videos again soon sir!

Sorry about the delay had some big life situations come up but on my way back

[@nathanmiller8694]

@@ScatterCraft oh that's great news to hear about you coming back and I hope your life issues are all better!

An amazing build, you've given me so many tips. Thank you.

Great work!

[@charlescunningham3480]

you have the rite idea, keep going and thanks for giving dimension

[@jwraper1498]

Awesome!

[@WillieBeard]

Great video. Castles are actually built with "Blocks", not bricks. Big difference.

[@russellperhamii2629]

That was AWESOME!

[@eetennak966]

Thats a great video! Thanks for uploading it. The result really speaks for itself

[@pebblesthecat3625]

This was a fantastic video to watch (apart from the sudden blaring music in places, but as you are still learning, your forgiven, especially as I really enjoyed watching this whole creation being built). I especially like the way you greeble bits to create door hinges, locks, handles etc.

[@Weapon_X_Wolverine]

The whole time was was worried you were painting and didn't add a door to get in. Phew. Ready to watch the next episode.

[@norcalonline1]

Sweet tower. I really like all the "wood" that you use on it, and I agree with you that it improves the look. Keep making these videos. Cheers, --Bo

[@johnleach8553]

So precise! Very sharp. I know how long it takes to lay brick etc... Great video!

[@draklithsDen]

Looks very well done man, great job, thanks for posting it with us

[@ryanyuhr2087]

Sick ol build! Subscribed and loving the content so far, keep up the good job!

[@eBiCrafter]

your tower to very perfect, thanks for sharing, i love it

[@Bitterdean666]

I often find myself coming back to this channel a lot whenever watching builds. I found your channel when it was only a couple months old, and boy was I impressed! The quality of your builds never cease to amaze me. I would say that your channel is probably one of my favorite within the community. It’s a bummer that you haven’t posted in awhile, but nonetheless hope you’re doing well, thanks!

[@ScatterCraft]

Thanks. Been working on a crafting area in my new house. Hopefully soon but slow progress.

[@HouseDM]

Thanks for sharing Josh! Definitely looks like a solid build that Ill have to try out once I get a proxxon. Cheers!

[@reconreview9353]

Very nice! And yes, I think you have inspired me to give it a go. Hope mine turns out as well.

Nice job, my man. Very cool tower. 👍🏻

Awesome work.

Thanks.

Ok, fine!! ... I'll build my own set! Gosh... xD Amazing work man, it's always a pleasure watching your videos!

[@biggerthaninfinity]

Masterfully done. Definitely subscribing to see more! :)

[@bf90rono]

Awesome build....but that final paintjob tho....It would been perfect with abit more time on the painting.

[@ScatterCraft]

Yeah I wish I could enjoy the painting more. For me it’s the part of the hobby I personally enjoy the least. That’s why I buy prepainted minis lol

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

My compliments on your patience with the bricks...I know how long it can take. This is a fantastic build man 👍👍. Liked & subscribed. Going to be binge watching these videos as i am building a Age of sigmar city board.

[@piotrsiekierko2211]

Hi, very very nice.

[@BudgetSceneryWorkshop]

Great looking tower. Smashing your way to a lot of subs already, well done, definitely well deserved. :)

[@BudgetSceneryWorkshop]

Oh, btw old chefs tip - if you put a slightly damp thin cloth/paper towel under your cutting mat, it wont slip as your cutting stuff.

[@ScatterCraft]

Good tip. I was thinking about using some poster tack

[@alexandervanhorn5633]

Tower is beautiful, take my subscribe sir.

[@magicgreengold]

Hey man, this is a pretty cool design, I actually came here looking more for reference material for a minecraft project of mine. I think this is a pretty slick design and definitely looks like something that might be used in any of the dozens of 3d terrain battle games like Warhammer or Malifaux, man there are so many I couldn't name them all. Anyway, this video is pretty cool and it looks like you did some other stuff related too! You should keep going, I bet you could make entire sets and really inspire others to craft their own private scene collections. I hope you keep up the fantasy build and play.

[@maestro2114]

I recommend getting a little more wash on the brush so you can more so dab it on and it and it will have better shadowing and detail. Still awesome though.

[@EnigmaOshaien]

Just a heads up, around 1:30 your speed square is a perfect 45° angle, so you don't have to worry about that. Amazing build man, I'm new to D&D, but I completely love all the crafts and things that you can build for it!!

[@ScatterCraft]

Great point lol. I guess I wasn't meant to be a contractor haha.

[@EnigmaOshaien]

@@ScatterCraft Lol we all have are strengths :) That is my line of work, so I could make the build pretty easily, but would struggle to make the artistic elements pop like you did. I really liked how you made the wood grain with the wire brush, great idea.

[@MrGrimmNZ]

Man whered you go? Sorry I only just discovered your channel

[@theQiwiMan]

Great video, insta-subbed!!

[@theQiwiMan]

Make sure you normalize the audio in your videos, I had to turn it up to hear you clearly, and then when the music came on at the end it blasted my poor ear drums pretty good! Other than that, what an awesome video, very well done, and beautiful craft!

[@ScatterCraft]

Ha. Modge Podge is the fun way to say it 😂

[@ronkrueger-capt_koron6112]

I think you forgot one major and important item in the build. How does the character enter the tower in the first place? There is no door or entrance at the bottom.

[@ScatterCraft]

It’s part of a larger build. I forgot to mention but I wanted modularity so I can add freestanding doors or in the context of the larger build just add it to a wall.

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Dude amazing! Your outro music is too loud fyi

[@philippkowalski1105]

wow, man, what an awesome result. Really love what you did there. Subscribed (of course). Keep the good things coming... :)

your work is perfect and so precize, but this video is incredible booooorring ! (I still press "like") it looks like watching grass growing.

[@jonl1930]

Great inspiring job dude,just a question whats that Pink foam you use?

[@ScatterCraft]

In the US it’s Owen Corning’s Foamular

[@NoTimeForLipBalm]

nice tower - how do you make the wood effects on foams?

[@walkourwoofers853]

I'm new to all this, and would be really grateful if you could provide some info on the foam and card products you used for the inner and outer structures - the inner seemed to be a sort of thick card, and the outer a foam board? Awesome results whatever you used!

[@ScatterCraft]

Foam board for inner and rigid foam insulation for exterior. Thanks

[@staker13]

Dude, please level your audio, your voice is so quiet and the songs are deafening. Good build, I will be making one soon myself and putting it up. Also liked and subscribed

[@ScatterCraft]

Hey thanks! I have fixed the audio in my more recent videos. I am not sure if I can adjust the audio after this has posted. Any idea?

[@shawnmulberry774]

@@ScatterCraft re-edit and repost is your only hope unfortunately. Its only style points, and otherwise it is a nice video. Consider it part of your experimental phase. Looking forward to your other videos...

[@AdamBragg]

@@ScatterCraft It's worth re-editing and reposting. Consider the amount of lost subs from people who leave this video in disgust and never check out your later ones...

[@ScatterCraft]

@@AdamBragg I have considered but it is by far my highest performing video in metrics and retention and gained subs. I may reedit this down the road

It's great. However, how do yo get in the tower to begin with? Rope ladder

Never mind, you went on to explain

[@josephdambrosio4130]

You forgot the door at the base to get in and out

Super neat! Do you have a list of materials you use?

Not yet but in the works! Any specific material questions though let me know

how do you work in imperial? don't those cm's on the other side of your ruler really tempting? and way easyer to use?

Did you build your paint organizer? Because it looks pretty awesome.

I did. It’s just foam core but I might rebuild it someday and I will probably make a video if I do.

@@ScatterCraft please do make a video if you ever redo it. Would love to build something similar!

[@cyborgraptor1778]

How water proof is this? Could it survive consistent 70-100% humidity?

[@ScatterCraft]

No idea. It’s foam so I don’t imagine it having any issues. Maybe the paint

[@cyborgraptor1778]

@@ScatterCraft Thanks. I was thinking of something to seal it. Looks like matte varnish or epoxy might do the trick.

[@pblackcrow]

Neat, but no michiculations.

[@glphilpot]

Why are you building things for your table that don't have playable interiors?

[@ScatterCraft]

Great question. I think playable interiors are super cool but I like to use a battle mat for most interiors that way they can be different for each encounter instead of one static interior. Also it takes way too long to make both exterior and an interior and I have a short attention span. ;)
