at 5.47 and 14.29 in video did anyone else see the mini wizard walk across the shelf to the right... and a few more times during the vid, great little extra, love the build

[@Shamasu12]

[@jacklaggatz7634]

Amazing grace

[@RamoArt]

This is one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen. I've been following this project since the first video and I'm honestly kind of bummed that it's over now.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Well thanks for the awesome compliment, really glad you think so. Don't worry though, there are many more builds to come!

[@jaidaclancy5362]

Maybe could you do a Hobbiton inspired build? I think you are so amazingly talented, and I’m So happy to have stumbled across your channel! I could definitely imagine Gandalf living here, it’s really so suiting for him!

[@lazarmitev513]

One of the best mage tower builds I have seen so far. The idea that you can mess up the project pretty much at any stage and all goes to waste gave me chills every now and then. Great improvement over the water as well and not many people know this but learning Houdini is pretty hard task plus the renders takes a lot of time as well. So cheers on that achievement as well. I guess you will start mixing your builds with some Houdini effects in the future like the mage summon tornado or so. Anyway looking for it ^^

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks Lazar! Yeah, Houdini was a big challenge to learn alright. I've actually since not renewed my license as that has to be done yearly, and have switched over to Blender. It does a decent job with particls and has a fairly nice render engine. If I ever felt I needed some nice water effects again or some other really detailed effect like sand, snow, fire, lava etc, I'd definitely switch back to Houdini. 😎 A tornado would be sweet too and could probably be achieved nicely with Blender. Not as detailed as Houdini but still not too bad. :)

[@KvoorP]

If my DM whipped this out on our table I'd cry (from happiness) 'cause this is pure art, man; job well done

[@ImperialKneazle]

Absolutely blown away by the scale of this, the intricacies and the beautiful execution. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible skill and model with us.

[@johneevillanueva266]

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks! Glad you got that it wasn't quite done in the last video. Some people aren't catching on to that :P

[@davewilliams6172]

That is one heck of a build, well done. You are right about the water, it looks much better with the extra layer on top. Keep up the excellent work matey.

[@karlb6273]

This has to be the most epic build on KZbin. Amazing!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks :)

[@rainsongt189]

This is more than "all right." It's absolutely fantastic! As for the stone lacking detail, nah, it's just weathered from the storms lashing it down through the ages. i have never played a tabletop version of DND but projects like this make me wish I had. In fact, I haven't played DND since it was first done back when computers ran only a shareware version where every character was simply an X on a black background and dungeon walls were merely brackets. Funny thing about it, though, if I was really immersed in the game, my imagination took over and everything became "real." Love the wizard keeping a watchful eye on your building progress.

[@stevethepirate2875]

Never have understood why a wizard would want to have a tower. They are old, all those stairs would suck. I've climbed a lighthouse, which is similar in shape and size. It was a 177 steps to the top, had to stop and catch my breath halfway up. Great looking craft.

[@2alDIA]

they're not necessarily old all the time.

[@lazarmitev513]

They can fly and teleport so np. The tower usually enhance their power because it is placed on place of power or energy and there they can store artifacts, books, ingredients etc.

[@heraldicheraldic5146]

At Torre dos Clérigos in Porto the old folk climb 225 steps without stopping. How bad is that scurvy mate?

[@ToofKilla]

Cardio.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

@ Heraldic Heraldic That is awesome. There are some really old monks I've seen out in Greece who have more life and energy in them than most 30 yr olds today. Very cool to see.

[@oash6041]

I really love your self critiquing. You do an excellent job on a certain problem, but because it’s your work and it’s not perfect in your eyes, you scrap it until it’s perfect for you. Even though the pieces you create all seem like wonderful pieces of work. If the ideas for different methods that you scrapped were done by someone else I’m sure you would think of it as great work, but when it’s coming from something you created you are able to see it for what you want your standard of work to be and what you know you’re capable of. Bravo to you sir, you’re an inspiration and a wonderful artist. I just now am recently starting to get into set building right now thanks to you!

[@CarstinTwitch]

I would love to see elaborate scenary like this on Critical Role. They should hook up with you in some way. Love the attention to detail. Infinite thumbs up from Denmark

[@mikerea4204]

Hi my name is Mike I've been into tabletop gaming for year and have always enjoyed the terrain side of it unfortunately I am terminally ill and carnt do my modelling any more but I now get my pleasure from watching your videos and how your builds grow. God bless and keep posting. Love watching for your wee wizard kicking about. Thank you so mucg

amazing piece of art. when i was about 8 years old my dad made a pretty similar castle to the one here with working traps and all which he gifted to me on christmas.i always thought that it took quite some time but i just get to appreciate the ammount of work that he put into building it especially the paint and the surface of the walls now.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

What a great comment. Really coolto hear. Thanks for sharing and glad I was able to provide some insight into how your dad had gone about making that castle for you.🙂

[@julianeder6114]

@@RealTerrainHobbies i clicked on the video to see the final product but after the first 3 seconds i already knew that i would stay for the entire build just couse its so amazing to see the transition from the raw materials to a finished product like that. the water part was one of the most impressive things ive ever seen and your trick with the texture roll was just amazing couse it saves a lot of time and looks extremely clean

[@MrBoscarin]

In my opinion the tower is a bit too tall, I get that you were going for the absurdly big wizard tower, but it takes away some balance to the whole composition. Everything elese works very well and I expecially like the wet, smooth stones at the bottom.

[@scobra5941]

Some would say the most legendary wizard of all is Merlin.

[@Slashi85]

Holy Mother... This build is beyond amazing. I have no words for this... Wow

[@davidwarren9204]

Really amazing build. One thing that seemed a bit incongruous (just my own opinion of course :)) is the tree. On a wind- and wave-swept rocky place like that, a tree is likely to be bent and gnarled (like many bonsai trees), rather than a large, up-right, leafy tree...

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Great observation and yeah you're right. Would have been a lot harder to get that look finding a small plant that formed in that sort of shape as well. In the end though, it's a fantasy setting so maybe the wizards magic gave the tree that added strength to withstand the winds :)

[@david-ibis47]

it's really beautiful, and impressive, the only thing that could be even better is to put a small light in the top of the tower to appreciate the work of the resin on the windows, finally it is my humble opinion: )

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Yeah and you know I was going to put a battery powered tea light in there but completely forgot. A lot of people were sad they didn't see the entire tower altogether in one shot. So I was maybe going to put that in my next vid at the end, and with that I could light up the tower as well. :)

[@Brandywine6969]

Wow, I just finished the video. It is awesome. You must have spent thousands on resin alone. It's beautiful though. Absolutely beautiful. You have some real talent there. Subbed.

Amazing build,great video editing.I been waiting for this video to come out for a while and it was worth the wait for sure.i picked up some new ideas and inspiration.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks man, glad to hear it! Took me long enough I know. Swing by on discord to show off your stuff! :)

[@TheStonehammerFiles]

Inspiring. The use of the air dry clay for the majority of the tower itself has opened a whole host of possibilities for those of us who do not have a foam cutter.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Indeed! It's awesome stuff man. Once you get used to handling it and working it around, the possibilities are endless!

[@TheStonehammerFiles]

@@RealTerrainHobbies I'm using Polyform Model Air. It is great stuff. Easily gotten from Walmart for me and from what I can find, there is minimal shrinking. I am putting that to the test by using to cast a floor tile and a archway half from a Hirst Arts mold and comparing them to the plaster casts I have made before. Oh yeah, it dries rock hard.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

@@TheStonehammerFiles Awesome, sound like a sweet build! Need to try out some Hirst arts at some point here as well... Maybe do my own molds at some point too. Best of luck with your build and be sure to have fun with it!

[@PomchillasItems]

the hot glue actually works now days,, I used it to hold up a light fixture for 3 yrs ,to where the fixture only needed to support its own weight , which was brass. It held until I took it down this yer for the new ceiling light fan with remote. I like to use loctite glue,, it rubberizes and can be used on so many different things,, and even repair a screw hole,, once it dries it rubberizes the spot with a really good bond.

[@ourselfish]

I use it for oil painting the one I have is called a MACK Wipe Out Tool.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Yeah a dragon on the would be pretty cool! And the brick roller makes doing this a breeze, once you get the technique right.😜

[@KarriKoivusalo]

Awesome work. I really love this gritty fantasy style! I think I got finally the impetus to make a "swamp forge" scene that's been haunting me for a while... as per requested; hot gluing is a good way to try out layouts before using some actually effective fastening methods.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Awesome, good luck with your project! And thanks for the feedback on the hot glue. So sort of a way to tack things in place as the main glue dries. I like that a lot...

[@Mercatoyd]

very dramatic..I've binge watched this entire build and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the way you share the mistakes as well as the triumphs in the build. Looking forward to watching other videos that you've shared. The music adds to the overall presentation.

This is truly awesome ! Great job ! An improvment I might see is filling up a bit the interior with some props like books, shelves, torches or so. It would look more lively. You put a lot of effort on this opened part of the tower, you should showcase it more :) Fantastic job anyway !!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Agreed. I have a few things here to populate it with that need painting first. Would have been good to have that done for the final shots, but I was eager to get this thing done. In hind sight it wouldn't have been that big of a deal to wait to get those finished. Oh well

He used to make tall ships from scratch :) I remember him taking weeks to build scores of tiny little cannon, and hand-knotting rigging when I was younger, he does small Roman and WW2 dioramas now. I'm so glad model-making is still so popular!

I am pretty sure they are called Color Shapers.

[@bascodelagamma]

i too was not sure about hot glue, but bill from punished props uses it a lot and so i got the cheapest one i could find from the dollar store to just try. i was amazed at how good it worked and i never upgraded because it works for my craft needs.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey good to know! Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll be picking one up at some point for sure and give it a try again. Maybe ill start with a dollar store one as well and wee what happens. :)

[@mercurybard9794]

Hot glue: good to hold pieces together while another slower glue dries. The formula was changed in the last couple of decades, so directions for old kits might say to use it, but no! A year or two and things will start falling apart (in a nice climate. In some place like coastal Texas with the extreme heat, humidity, and the constant ionization of the air indoors by the AC, you'll see failures even faster. Not sure how elevation affects glues...) Anyway, the tower is awesome

[@zxGHOSTr]

You are a mad man, but the good kind of mad.

[@christineingram55]

I think this looks amazing.Exactly the sort of well worn tower you would expect to find a Wizard in.I love how detailed it is both inside and out.It looked fabulous but when you added the final touches it really added so much to it.I think the greenery was great,but the trees finished it perfectly.You have made some fantastic buildings.This is one of my favourites 🥰

[@c5power732]

How can someone dislike this???

[@srboor]

3 questions. 1. How long it took you to make this? 2. What do you think for how much you can sell your work like this? 3. Since when did you realised that you are a genius?

[@mengkit7884]

Sculpt a dragon on the side and make the wizard fight off from the tower. It will become an EPIC scene.

[@ochavezfregoso3638]

What a beautiful thing you created here, I know it’s been a while since but I just had to say this is great work, and also helpful for my own little project I’m researching for. Looking forward to seeing what else you have built!

[@linusmedia]

I would have loved to see a bit of sealife down by the water - seaweed, starfish, banacles and limpets, mussels et c. Maybe some seashells. I don’t intend this as critique, merely as inspiration for future projects. Also, set the rest of that oak veneer in a sunny window for a year and let the UV light work its magic, I think you might like the weathered silvery or lead grey of old oak. Especially down by the water or any place where it’s exposed to the elements.

[@RoseStephens-mo5jb]

this turned out great. just a suggestion for future - when you do a multi video project, add part 1, part 2 etc to the title. it would make it a lot easier to find the parts of the project. I was surfing KZbin for videos and ended up clicking part 3 of this build. it was very difficult finding part 1, 2 and then 4 in the list of all your other videos.

[@simonlaurens584]

Just found this now.....I think this an amazingly good model! The detail is beautiful and full of character. I love the design and the sea turned out freaking awesome! I am a professional fine art sculptor and I sculpted a Lord of the Rings figurine collection for the Tolkien Estate. I would be honoured for my Gandalf to live here.

[@jamieoxenham1656]

I quite enjoyed watching your build on this! However, I strongly suggest shooting this at 60p, or 30p. It feels like 24p, which is far to juddery for this kinda thing. Also a smaller aperture would let us see more of the final project, instead of a razor thin focal plane. But regardless, it was quite fun to watch your process!

[@bethanygraham427]

Beautiful!! You solved the snow problem well. Added a lot of depth to the water. I wish you would have filled the inside of the waves with resin though.

[@radarlovedr]

The most legendary wizard of all is Merlin.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Yeah agreed! Sorry, I don't know why he never came to mind. This would make a good Merlin's tower I think. More suited to him for sure.

[@kittykatgaming8296]

Hot glue is better used as a supporting glue. Use a longer setting stronger glue on a piece then use a bit of hot glue around the area too. The hot glue creates a fast bond to hold it in place until the longer set glue can take hold. It’s not real great as a glue on it’s own but it’s an amazing temporary and fast hold glue!

[@rdoetjes]

Hot glue is not designed for structural use. It’s designed to stick wires to PCBs and temporary quick fixation to then have your hands free to properly attached what you want.

[@KenHousiaux]

It's just so beautiful! Your creativity and passion really shows in your videos. The way you put your love into these medieval fantasy buildings is just amazing! Keep up the wonderful work and content. Greetings from Belgium

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks Ken! Really appreciate the kind words. Very encouraging and greetings! Awesome to see this reach so far across the pond :)

[@dekisui]

Thank you for your videos. It's really relaxing to hear you narrate and work, and your choice of music and editing makes a great experience while I feel overwhelmed from quarantine and stressed from work and hobbies, or just plain doing nothing sometimes. I realize this vid is a year old now so someone has probably mentioned it but high heat hot glue should hold up okay and not fall apart. The stuff at home depot is also supposed to hold up pretty well, but I dislike how all of it makes spider web string messes :P Most people/stores carry multi temp which can melt in a hot car or attic. But your more permanent epoxy glue feels better, and I've since moved onto using contact cement where I can :)

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thanks for the tips. I have started using hot glue on my more recent projects. Hope you are doing better with the quarantine. it has been hard on all of us. :/ Hang in there!

[@BisonStampede]

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but a little wood working tip. A hot iron is the most controlled and easiest way to activate the glue on veneer. That's why furniture makers have an iron in their wood shop. Just FYI. 👍🏻

[@livelifeontop09]

so every video somewhere in it you have a little wizard walking through the build... I think it's really cool you do that cause I look for it every time and there every time it is LOVE THAT IDEA

[@BlackWolfCosplay]

I can't speak for models like this as I'm pretty new to it (binge watching all the terrain videos I can find atm to help with making an HO scale trainset for my dad) but I've used hot glue in prop costume making, but it just depends on what you use it on. It's perfect for EVA/craft foam, but with some surfaces it'll just come off really easily :) I guess it's the same as other glues, works great on some things but terrible on others! Absolutely loving this project, amazing video!

[@kriticalhitz5229]

the sneaky animation made me smile.. excellent build sir

[@RaiderAvian]

I had a bad start with epoxy glue as it did not want to bond a sculpture I was working on. It may have been due to a lack of experience or just a bad batch. Hot glue is good for materials such as fabrics and plastics. Does not work for hard surfaces and meltable projects. I love wood glue as it makes good skins (effects), has a good hold. versatile and can become transparent. Just keep experimenting and you will always learn something new about something you thought would not work in the past.

[@Serbertim]

your passion to make all the details makes this piece amazing I absolutely enjoyed every second of this video

[@yesterdaybaby]

This is SUCH an incredible build. Your videos are awesome, really informative, and this build has me absolutely floored.

[@gbj6581]

Im blown away. Actually Thoroughly enjoyed the whole build and the whole story you took the time to tell. Im glad it was a long video. A cool idea would be to make the room which is located at top-most tower would be to have it a library where the wizard would go to to find some hidden ancient magic.
