Making the Ultimate Wizard's Tower - Dungeons and Dragons terrain crafting!!! (Full detail interior)

I want my terrain to totally immerse my players into the world of Dungeons and dragons. I made this tower to not only look incredibly cool but also to be super practical and fun to play in! This Ultimate Wizards Tower has been crafted from foam, I go through all the steps on how I made it. If you are inspired to build you own please follow along!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Cool build! The pole through the edge is a very clever addition.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks man, I am glad you liked it! I am planning on using it for more builds. Its a super practical addition

[@Zorpazorp]

Veerrrrrrrryyy cooool!!!!

[@jjr6929]

Very cool 😎

[@LylaMev]

the rotation is really cool!

[@RPRsChannel]

Your brother is a smart cookie

[@oktoberbabyfee]

Impressive. Most impressive.

[@RevRaak]

Yes! I love the paler limestone-like color of your stonework. I have not been happy with my standard sort of dark gray look. Thanks!

[@bustin9549]

This is probably one of my favorite table-top builds I've ever seen. Very inspiring and clever!!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate! the positive feedback helps a lot!

[@dougpridgen9682]

I recently started using a rock for stone texturing, not so much because of uniformity (I can just turn the foil around or roll in different directions), but because I got tired of having to roll up balls of foil. Rocks do make a better (more realistic) looking texture and it's like a permanent ball of foil. Nice build.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate!

[@Spikewillrule]

Can you just keep the foil ball?

[@Miniocalypse]

This is an amazing build, love the tower!

[@TheSmuey]

Amazing build! There's clearly a lot of planning involved in this, I REALLY like the addition of the rod-and-tube system to make the levels rotate. I would have gone for magnets, but this could even be used narratively, that the wizard that lives in it knows of the party an their intentions and warps the very fabric of the tower to create obstacles or something. Very cool idea!

[@swordnsteele712]

Loved it! 😍

[@jacobhope6164]

Wow! I really like the color palette you chose for this build. That rod was an ingenious addition as well.

[@sirpibble]

Spend all this time making a tower encounter, party decides to climb the outer wall and enter from the top :^)

[@mrbaillifman]

*I would like to set fire to the tower. Dm: But there are people inside *I would like to pile brush around the tower and set fire to it

[@jessicapaige9442]

"I cast Fly!" Dm: 😐😳😢😔

[@matthewspoon9671]

i freeking love this

[@ThePickleJar]

WOW! That is such an amazing build! Way more effort than I used to put in for my DnD campaigns! Nice work dude

[@leifrobinson6118]

Found this through your post in Foam Modelling Workshop. Fantastic build, will be using this for inspiration 100%. Thank you for the upload!

[@leifrobinson6118]

Would love to see similar technique applied to a giant tree with a playable interior.

[@ConquestCreations]

I am glad its got you inspired! That is an awesome Idea!! I think there is a decent chance of me doing that at some point!

[@TheUnamazingRando]

that is super cool!! I'd personally add magnets to the opposite end of the tower levels from the pivoting rod to have each level stay put until it's time to reveal the next level up. i might have to try making this! Thanks for sharing!

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Very cool! Good Job.

[@dungeonscronics3191]

Nicely done

[@TheMichaellathrop]

It could have been very cool to have one more level carved into the foam of the base, maybe just barely sticking out and requiring a few steps up so that the ground wouldn't interfere with the rotation.

[@DevsDice]

Nice one man! I have to say that the details are super sharp! Especially those door-openings! Good job! 🤘

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks man, I appreciate the comment!

[@zan917]

Awesome and inspirational! Thanks for sharing!

[@ConquestCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DannyH7923]

Cheers! That is an amazing build.

[@LostWhits]

Great use of the circle cutter for recreating the same radii. I understand the upside windows were your own design choice, but I felt they protruded a little too much. The door arch didn't look as deep. Also a brilliant use of the aluminium rod. Perhaps having inset magnets could help to keep them aligned when in the "closed" position. Sweet build.

[@joshmortimer3433]

Amazing terrain build!!! Gives me ideas for other things I can make (on a smaller scale mind you). Thanks for the tips, great video!!!!

[@igordekiparis]

Love the tube idea! Oh yea, and tower is also cool ))

[@minipaintingforyou]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@LockwoodsWorkshop]

I really love your enthusiasm!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate, I am doing what I love

[@JeremyNaus]

Cool build. One tip: try to get a whet-stone. It will save you a lot of knife blades ;-) I now only sporadically need to cut the blade. Just sharpen the blade every so often :-)

[@torymiddlebrooks]

You're a good GM

[@eda5927]

How about tiny magnets instead of a pole it will give a bit more stability and easy maintenance

[@ConquestCreations]

Great question! Magnets would be perfect for just holding it together but they wouldn't be strong enough for it to swivel because there is a lot of leverage on them

[@cooljdl03]

Thanks for watching everyone! Let me know what I should build next!

[@MattJames5627]

welp ... new subscriber xD good job on this tower, it's amazing

[@MarkLewis...]

Great build! Windows are upside down... But great build!!!

[@ConquestCreations]

hey definetly are but it was an aesthetic choice. The Wizard that lives in the tower had magic to build it hahaha

[@mathiasschultz7745]

what a really cool and functional build! could you show what hot wire cutter you are using? i have a proxxon hot wire cutter but yours has quite some nice features...especially the seemingly built in circular cutter jig!!! thanks in advance, matze

[@ConquestCreations]

This is the one that I used. I didnt get anything fancy just the cheapest one possible. Making your own circle cutting jig would be super easy! www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hot-Wire-Foam-Sponge-Cutting-Machine-Cutter-Styrofoam-Thermoplastic-220V-O/223201614660?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

[@truckasurus]

Wowee! Really cool stuff! Can you build the Taj Mahal?

[@ConquestCreations]

The great wall of China comes first

[@jordanlucas5440]

This is crazy creative! What do I have to do to get in your DnD party?!

[@zombielandiii2711]

Loved the design and colors. Congrats on the great build! Can you please tell me the colors you used?

[@ConquestCreations]

I mixed the grey from white and black and just grabbed a random blue and brown. The specific colours aren't important you can easily make good looking stone work with any colours!

[@thorstenglock10]

What hotwire cutter do you use, looks very intressting

[@itsthevinster5997]

Could you tell me how thick the foam is that you used? Having a very hard time finding XPS foam that’s thicker than 2” at least in the U.S. You said you did 10 and glued two together so you had 5 floors. Wondering how tall each of the floors are when you glue them together. Thanks!

[@mpisc192]

Any chance you can link the foam cutter?

[@Kooltomatoe]

Do you have a special attachment to your wire cutter that lets you make the circle cuts? Thinking of getting one, and that seems really useful.

[@ConquestCreations]

Its a circle cutting jig. This project would have been impossible without it! It came with my wire cuter but I am not sure that all wire cutters come with accessories

[@mudawott]

do you have a link to the wire cutter you are usong im aussie and im struggling to find stuff

[@soledude]

👏👏👏

[@NT-ys3oh]

What’s the circle cutting tool called? I have a wire cutter but no circle tool

[@ConquestCreations]

I think its called a circle cutting jig, although it came with my wire cutter so might go by a different name elsewhere. I highly recomend getting one they are awesome

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Small tip from the cosplay community. Rather than snapping off the blade for a fresh and sharp blade. Get a basic kitchen knife sharpener and sharpen it. Your blades will last several times longer.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give it a shot

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@ConquestCreations So have you tried it yet?

[@ConquestCreations]

@@RainMakeR_Workshop I gave it a shot. It helps blades stay sharp a lot longer. It isn't a perfect solution because a lot of the time I am working with just the tip of the blade and that isn't restored as well by sharpening but it helps a lot!

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@ConquestCreations That's more of an experience thing. The more you do it, the better results you get. Plus you need to make sure that you angle the sharpener and the blade properly and consistently as you sharpen it, otherwise you can just as easily blunten rather than sharpen it.

[@ConquestCreations]

@@RainMakeR_Workshop Thats actually super helpful to know. I have writted it off to early. I'll try a but more on my next project. Thanks mate

[@ragntard]

How durable us this material after it's painted and everything?

[@ConquestCreations]

Its not amazingly durable but decent. The paint helps solidify the surface and its super light so generally when it gets knocked around it doesnt take damage

[@ragntard]

@@ConquestCreations Thanks! was thinking of making a bunch of smaller pieces, but unsure if they'll break if I just throw them in a box after.

[@Jostradomas]

Are the windows upside down? They look upside down.

[@jameskyle7943]

Players: we go around the tower....

[@ConquestCreations]

Hahaha not the people that I play with

[@perceptioncheck86]

Where did you buy this foam from?

[@ConquestCreations]

I live in Australia where this was available from Bunnings. From my understanding most Hardware stores around the world should stock a similar product. Have a look in the insulations section!

[@kalebspicer5453]

One thing I always suggest to everyone is to not do full walls all the way around. This makes it very difficult for the players to see inside, and if anyone in your group is wheelchair bound, it basically means they can't see unless someone is able to hand it to them. Half walls around or one or two sides that come all the way up is the way to go.

[@linneakocher9501]

How the fuck does this only have 8k views

[@ArtJeremiah]

I mean really, in medieval times they whitewashed the outside walls with plaster... just saying. Regardless of history... this build was amazing!

[@ConquestCreations]

Hahaha I definitely didn't go for historical accuracy on this build but that is great to know for the future!

[@ArtJeremiah]

@@ConquestCreations you did great really. No need for historical accuracy.
