I trust that your dioramas will look great by the time you’re finished because they always do. Very good job.

[@JayNut_001]

I am always amazed how these turn out, at the beginning you look at these like "Whats that supposed to be ... that single coat of paint doesn´t look really good" only near the end you can see how awesome it will look.

[@madcaprahin1234]

Adding a flickering led in the incubation chambers would make it look awesome..... great build nonetheless.

[@euansmith3699]

"A $10 jar of Pigment Powder will last years." "Atishoo!!!"

[@clintonm2357]

I love the way you use stuff on hand. I use old paint markers and Sharpies when I need thin lines. They are clean and easy to use.

[@loggas6199]

Great video .i love it how you explain every single step you do in your terrain Videos.

[@BardsCraft]

Thanks. I also like explaining more about each step now. A while back I had troubles with my voice (and talked less) but now I can keep talking nonsense for longer :)

[@loggas6199]

@@BardsCraft yes i noticed it . I found your Chanel ca. one year ago, and when you compare your old Videos with your newer ones then everybody will see the difference. Its really interesting to see how you got more and more self-confidence

[@FilipeAguiarCarvalho]

It's nice to see you using materials other than foam. Here in Brazil that stuff isn't easily found and it's expensive. EVA on the other hand is cheap and found easily.

[@modelsfromscratch]

Amazing how it can come together when the colour scheme is right. And yes!, add more cables, more card-stock, more paint - you will prevail!

[@gravitygeek2339]

Thank you I just started D&D and you inspired me to do homemade terrain keep up the good work👍🏻

Awesome, Lucas! I love the numbering of every step in the process... Nice touch and the craft, excellent as always!

[@TheGameSmithsTable]

An terrific build. Thanks for shaving your creativity!

[@nickrogers3111]

ya know when I saw the alien tufts from red grass I was like "why would anyone want purple and pink grass tufts?" ...now I know. I just picked up some pigment myself for basing, haven't tried it yet but it did a great job here. can't wait to try now

[@elcid200]

The used of the pigment was a great decision. It looks great

[@Taterniac]

Love it. Can't wait for your next one. Reminds me of games workshop in the 80s. Nice ☺️👍

[@LauraDelvecchio]

You're always able to make such badass stuff with the simplest of shit and i'm always impressed lol. I love this one. Good choice on the brown pigment ;) I must ask though, what kind of wire is that? I've been looking for wire like that for like 2 years but all i've ever found was super rigid and nearly impossible to bend even when it was super thin =\

[@BardsCraft]

Perhaps you are weak? 😄 Most wire I've touched seemed to bend easily. You can usre pliers to help your efforts

[@LauraDelvecchio]

@@BardsCraft LOL this is entirely possible! The stuff I’ve found seems damn near like piano wire. And that florist wire is too thin. Idk I can’t seem to find a happy medium. I will one day though! Maybe the solution is the gym 😂😂

[@jeremygriffin620]

Lol I thought your Coke joke was savage, you are full of timely barbs in this one lol.

[@knightterrain6936]

I always ❤ Love all your videos! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the craft!

[@Myhayv]

I've been trying to use pigments for a while. The problem is that they just don't get fixed on the surface no matter what I use. I tried airbrush thinner, varnish, even pigment fixer. Still rubs off.

[@ColvyMolvy]

Another cool idea would have been to have the hot glue keeping the character in the chamber. Like the xenomorphs from Aliens. Love your work!

[@joehayward4545]

I always enjoy your videos. I am working on designing a game based around a techno vampire & I think this will make great dungeon terrain for their crashed ship.

[@walkietalkie2193]

[@BardsCraft]

Thansk for the comment :) You can find music links in the descriptions of the video

[@LifeguardLeroy]

Everytime bard says 'easy to find material', i'm like this is going too cost $20+ in Australia for no reason that or it either doesn't even exist on shelves here.

[@clintonm2357]

I use all sorts of garbage. My foam is the stuff that comes as packaging. I use cardboard instead of card stock... I am way lower than "peasant level."

[@leftistadvocate9718]

yep same.everytime there's foam I'm like "well I'm never going to make that" everytime there's bark I'm like "that's going to look like paper here"

[@MaitreKuza]

Guy, you don't need to buy pigments or textures, you live on a giant island only made of pigments and textures of desert.

[@leftistadvocate9718]

@@MaitreKuza 1 was primarily talking about foam. Good luck finding foam in a reasonable size for hobby crafting. 2 never mentioned pigments 3 I stand in corrected. The textures aren’t right here. Paperbark isn’t going to do the trick.

[@MaitreKuza]

@@leftistadvocate9718 I use foam for flowers and foam from my package, when you buy TV, or gardening tools, this kind of stuff. I never find a foam that seems as hard and thick than bard used to have. It works, btw.

Your Crafting Discipline is inspiring. In a few of your videos you wax philosophical on the your Crafting Mindset, did you ever make a discussion video on your views on the crafting discipline or is it all just spread around your videos? Anyway, thank you for your hard work! I wish Iceland had more trees.

[@BardsCraft]

I was all in on this channel until this video. Those subtle alt-right dog whistles really turned me off, and your comment section is starting to look like 4 chan a bit. I'm sure this will only help in the algorithms since I'm about to be flamed, but I thought you should know .

[@BardsCraft]

Have you actually checked what any radical political thinkers want? I actively work against authoritarianism. I'm on no one's "side", only freedom. Reconsider, thank you. Don't let anyone else think for you.

[@ianm14]

@@BardsCraft Not sure what authoritarianism looks like in your country, but in mine it's a bunch of rich white guys telling poor white people that wearing a mask is tyranny, and not just a simple health matter. Most recently this has inspired one man to go out and murder 6 Asian women. To be clear, whether you intend it or not, this is the type of person you are speaking to/for with these comments. You wear a seat belt to protect yourself in a car. You wear shoes to protect your feet. Why is wearing a mask and reducing social activities until a vaccine is readily available so different? Is it because it protects others instead of yourself?

[@alexandervladimirovich6542]
