AWESOME!!!!!! And not just because I'm in it!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thanks Professor :) !

[@michaelsexton170]

While not krampus enthusiastic, this does give me ideas for a dungeon scene for gi joe or transformers. Excellent usage of multiple mediums.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Awesome, glad it sparked an idea of your own!

[@ScaleTrainStation]

Cool build, but the thing that stuck out to me was showing the paint process in 4 windows simultaneously. Pure Genius! One of those things that seems obvious once you see it, but you've never seen before. Keeps the video from bogging down for people that know your techniques, but still allows new people to see what's going on. Excellent job!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you for that and for the CC. I really appreciate it!

[@mrgunn2726]

w00t PDM, boo Krampus! Your plans are very fancy, I love it. The implication that the skulls once belonged to children is SUPER creepy. Awesome Boss Lair John!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Right on Mr Gunn!! Thank you !!

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Awesome! I suspect Krampus may be busier than Santa this Christmas...

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

He just might be haha! Thanks :)

[@patrickmasse7159]

Original with this pentagonal shape. Always more skulls and LEDs. Merry Christmas John.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Merry Christmas to you as well Patrick :) !!

Your builds just keep getting better and better, everything you do is so polished! When ! see the end result I forget you made this all by hand and heart, really amazing stuff, very talented indeed, I loved it.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you 🙏. I try and improve with every video not just my crafting but my videography as well. I love every aspect of contributing to this community, and comments like yours only help fuel the fire!

Time to relax with lunch on my day off and enjoy this video. Can't wait for PDM's side of this to drop as well.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Enjoy Eric :)

[@JCetto.2612]

I'm not gonna lie... Every video of this channel make me forget about my on-line classes... and I'm the teacher... LOL Priorities man, priorities... Thanks for sharing this awesome build, John!! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

hahah....oh boy! You got it, and thank you for tuning in :) Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@ondrejruzicka9686]

When you are wiring a larger number of higher power LEDs in series, you should use thicker wire. Thin wire has larger resistance and when the string is longer, voltage drop could be significant, in the worst case affecting some of the LEDs on the end. This wouldn't be a problem for normal LEDs, when you are using these smart ones, it potentially could be. For diffusing the light, you can try using some pieces of cotton on top of each LED. However, a probably finer solution would be to make use of light diffusing sheets from an old LCD monitor or TV. These are designed to diffuse light and are very good at it. You can also do some really cool stuff with the whole display backlight. When you take off the "LCD" layer from the display assembly and power on the backlight, you get a uniform light source in the size of the display. Great use for broken smartphones, for example. The whole thing is just a few millimeters thick. If you want to know more, you can see some DIY Perks videos, he talks about this subject a few times.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Interesting advice/tips... Thank you.

[@TerrainTronics]

brilliant work as always John. I'm proud to be a small part of work like this. you always go beyond the quickest, easiest version of a craft. I can only wish to have the same work ethic as you! :)

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

You're products help elevate so many crafts like this one.... Thanks!

[@shelbybrown4192]

I’m probably a weirdo for commenting on all these. But all this speaks to my inner nerd and it’s so amazing! I can’t wait till you get big enough and can do workshops. That would be cool. I would do more builds but I don’t have a place to do it yet. Someday though. Keep up the amazing work! 😊

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Hi Shelby, I'm glad you're enjoying the video's... you know it's cool to be a nerd right :) Thanks for joining me as well on Patreon, I look forward to chatting some more online!

Whoa! PDM guest appearance??? Love it!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thanks :) !

[@andygorman858]

Stella build!you pretty much covered every crafting trick, Das, electronics, foam and resin. The skulls are just awesome and really set the scene for the piece. Really can’t wait for the next one…..I’m sure it will be just as epic (but not quite as epic as an outhouse of dooooooom!) 😉

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thanks Andy... The skulls from TigerSkullRPG really helped move this project along for sure... Maybe there's even room for them in the Outhouse of Doom?!?!

[@andygorman858]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I bought the skulls pack and they are fantastic, can see some uses for them definitely…..even in a certain ‘house’……..mwah hahahhahahahahahaha! 😉

[@marcuswelbymd7881]

And again, another excellent build. Your attention to detail and willingness to try out different ideas and techniques always make your vids an enjoyable and informative view. Go nerds!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Right on Marcus, thank you :) !!

[@Arkie80]

Littke interesting fact for you. This is a matter of opinion and preference but lava often has dissolved gasses in it so it wouldn't necesssrily hurt to leave a few bubbles in it once in a while. Granted it depends entirely on what mood you're going for but it could add to the effect sometimes.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Very cool thank you. I'll say this though, Superclear Epoxy would not be what you want to use if you want bubbles in your final result. To this day I've never had a single bubble in a finished resin pour with their products !

[@manowar665]

Wickedly Epic piece brother!!! Never, ever a disappointment. Professor Dungeon Master, hunh? Well, we all know Krampus spends his time bagging bad children during the season. Whereas Professor DM and Deathbringer spend the entire year bagging bad jokes. And YOU know for one, I am THE expert in that department.... Merry Christmas everyone !!!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Haha... makes a great combination then doesn't it. Thanks so much for a year full of entertainment and smiles here in the comments. Merry Christmas.

The orange sheet is called a gel :)

[@photogfrank2146]

Well John you said it was going to be awesome and you were right! It was an awesome build and an awesome video! I was just a bit dubious about the antlers until you showed them finished! They are my favorite part of the whole build! They look astounding! They look real! The skulls also look pretty cool! I couldn't figure out what you were planning on doing with so many skulls until I saw it! I'd have to say they are my next favorite part of the build! I give this video two thumbs way WAY up! Excellent job! You really should start doing workshops! PS. I loved the way you incorporated last week's build into this week's! It really made it come to life!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you Frank. I really enjoyed working on the antlers for this build. I might make some more in the not so distant future. As far as workshops... that's probably the 5th request I've had to run one this week... we'll see :)

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

This was fantastic man. I am thinking of switching the lava for blood to create a terrain piece for my Khorne army 😉

[@michaelshort1411]

Really cool! I've been wanting to make something wicked and evil like that for my krampus. But since you colored your resin for the pool did you really need to use a color light gel? Seems like extra work that's not necessary being you colored the resin wouldve been enough if not make it just slightly brighter even after you scuffed up the acrylic glass to diffuse your lights a little. Also rather than making the horns out of tin foil and clay. You couldve also used real antlers or something. You can pick up deer antlers at your local pet store fairly cheap, or better yet see if you have a taxidermy shop locally and buy all sorts of different horns from them. My local taxidermy shops sells antlers for a buck or 2 depending on the size of the horn. Plus you'll be supporting a local small business which helps your community.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you! I added the gel to enhance the orange and I thought it being scuffed up would really help with the light dispersion. It didn't help too much. Give it a go without the gel and let me know!

[@michaelshort1411]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I just updated my post and added another idea for you for any future builds. For I intend to use real horn or antler for my future build.
