I can’t get over the fact that there are people like you who can make such extraordinary items of beauty.

You can do all the nice rock prep work you want, but if you can't paint, it's all worth nothing.. This is amazing.. 👍

The salt line detail was so good. It brought me back to growing up near the ocean.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks, glad you think it was done well as I actually don't live by the ocean myself.

[@seangere9698]

@@RealTerrainHobbies Not a problem at all. You deserved it. I'm not much of a plaster user but it does give me some ideas for making something similar out of XPF. I make things for gaming and plaster is a bit to heavy for that. I do use some plaster at times but only very thin layers to keep the weight down.

[@c.1200]

Ok, since this is your last video i will post this here. 1-you are awsome. 2-you are torturing me. Yes, you are, me and a lot of people waiting for the last video of that insane series of yours, yeah, i'm talking about THAT series, the one that goes about building the most beautyfull, awsome, incredible and stunning tavern of all the internet. ¡PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT END THE SERIES WITHOUT ENDING THAT TAVERN, WE NEED THAT LAST VIDEO!!!!...no pressure, you are awsome, we love you. Greetings from Spain!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Haha, yeah don't worry that one is still to be completed and has not been abandoned. I needed a little break from that guy as it was taking more time than I anticipated and I was stressing about completing it while getting videos out for the channel in a timely manner. So, took a little break and did a couple projects in between just so I wouldn't get bogged down, but the finale will be the next video once this wizard tower build is wrapped up. So don't worry! It's still on it's way.😊

[@Thicketworks]

Neil - this work is kicking ASS! Your ability to not only create the terrain, but to clearly explain and demonstrate the process for the entire community is a treasure, dude. Thank you for putting in the hard work to design, build, detail, film and edit this magical process - deeply appreciated. BTW: I am loving the camera work - super smooth panning shots. Just the right amount of sweep and lingering on the delicious details. (I was lucky enough to receive a gimbal for Christmas, and am so looking forward to finding ways to up my game with it)

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks Heather. Glad you think so. I'm trying to get better with the voice overs so not sure I've communicated as well as I could have, but I'm glad you seem to think so.😊 Ah, lucky you! I'd absolutely love to get a gimbal. I've got a nifty little motor car thingy for $80 I take most of my shots with. Then I clean it up in post and with the 4k I can zoom in and out doing better pan shots. PS. I've listened to your latest video and haven't had the chance to properly respond. It was a great one and very personal so wanted to make sure I gave it some good thought. I know, not from personal experience but having listened to a lot of survivors through various podcasts and such, that severe trama abuse is a very damaging thing(understatement of the year) and indeed is a lifelong struggle to recover from. I'm glad you are finding your way out of it and certainly want nothing but the best for you. I'll head over to the channel and give a better response in the next day or two. All the best Heather! Thanks again for all the awesome support.😊

[@motorcop505]

Terrific videos! Love the music too. Just one suggestion that would help those of us that are very new to this: if you could try to give a little more of a pause after you apply whatever effect you are doing, it would enable us to take screen shots to use for reference as we go through creating our own projects. Thanks again!

[@dominicr5516]

What are you adding to the paint when your using the airbrush? A rookie question I’m sure. Getting ready to unbox my first airbrush and compressor, time to take a leap and expand my painting abilities. Your channel and your work are fantastic inspirations thanks!

[@railbuilderdhd]

You are a true artist. I enjoy seeing your videos and can’t wait to see your water work. Much improved since your early videos. I love it. I wouldn’t mind seeing your railroad work you are doing as well. What’s the plan for this after it is built? Will it be for tabletop gaming or do you plan to sell it? Just asking!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I think I plan on keeping it for now and use it for gaming. Maybe sell it I suppose if I was ever offered a satisfactory amount. Haven't started on the reailroad work yet but that is definitely in the future.

[@railbuilderdhd]

Real Terrain Hobbies can’t wait to see your railroad.

@@RealTerrainHobbies Looking forward, i love your work ;-)

[@jimeronimo]

FanDamnTastic.. what you're able to achieve is really phenomenal.. question. Noticed you painted right on the plaster. Don't you have problems with ot really absorbing the water out of the paint and lightening the colors? You don't have to prime or prepare the surface before painting?

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Ididnt have issues with that no. If it was too light for my liking I just added in more paint to the wash. But yeah, I did have to water down the paints quite a bit as is or it would have gotten way too dark. I did not prime before painting no. I like the way the plaster absorbs the paint. It gives a much more realistic effect. Be sure to seal up tho after the painting is complete.

[@jomyratazar08291]

It looks undeniably amazing 😍 I have questions, what materials did you use? I’m planning to create diorama 😅 but i don’t know the materials which needed to buy.

[@scotia_man_steve7145]

Just out of curiosity if you were going to sell something like this how much would you sell it for and how would you determine that price

[@cwilliamson47]

Amazing work! You've inspired me to create my own version of the wizard's tower, and I have a question regarding the slate steps. Did you cover those with plaster as well before painting? I'm worried about covering them with a thin layer of plaster and then it flaking off with any bumps (i.e., similar to the thin layers you get on the rock molds between forms). Maybe I'm just worrying too much? Thank you for giving us great videos to learn from!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey Norrin, thanks for the kind words. :) For the most part I didnt cover them and tried to leave them bare. Where some plaster did get on them it's held up really well and takes some good elbow grease to get off. If you use the above technique for paint, the paint will have absorbed well into the plaster and if some does accidentally chip or rub off it won't be exposing any of the bright white and you won't even notice. Hope that helps and best of luck to you!

[@cwilliamson47]

@@RealTerrainHobbies That makes sense! Thank you so much for the reply! Now I can't wait to get back to work :)

[@vialetttt]

0:40 is that water? and is this paint humidity resistant? how can you additionally protect the paint from humidity without losing the matte effect?

[@drugfreemidget]

Love the video, only downside was that you didn't say that the finals steps were the final steps. badum tss

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

[@robertgraham1511]

Do you think that this will work for a 1/350 scale model battleship?

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I think so, although the scale I'm using would be a little much for it. But you could definitely scale it to your liking! The rock molds could be used in any scale for sure.

[@MinecraftWarrior22]
