[@YGOrochi]

A little tip for anyone building large or medium scale scenery involving water, to avoid bubbling in your water if you have either a washing machine or washer/drier on at the time of making your water, after pouring just pop your scenery on top of the washer/drier and the agitation from the drum spinning around drives all the bubbles to the top, just keep an eye on it to check for anything you may need to pop or displace and of course...do NOT let it vibrate off the machine...not only will you destroy your scenery but your kitchen/utility room floor also and any potential collateral damage from splashes of resin.

[@ICraftTinyWorld]

Thank you

[@joemac8694]

Just gotta say the Warcraft “work complete” at the end made my day haha gorgeous work. I’m planning my swamp warcry board now and this has been very inspiring

[@CoolPopsicle]

This has to be one of the best videos regarding fantasy terrain that I've seen. You're so detailed and meticulous. There were many times throughout the video I thought, "yea, that looks good place it and move on" but you would go on to further paint or detail the item. Truly a model modeler. Thank you for the video.

[@lolotheyak102]

Looks amazing, these realistic art pieces got me shook.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks!

[@84tonikk]

Niiiice. Time for some cajun oddities on that bayou. Darkly twisted ways ofcourse!

[@Xn7000]

I love all the dry humor in your videos. It always keeps me coming back. And fyi, in English, we call that tool a spirit level, or a level.

[@Paepercuts]

Ahhh thanks for the tip, gotta remember that for future vids. Glad you liked the video my friend!

[@adrianron9368]

awesome vid brah...keep it coming....

[@thehypergamer9873]

Paepercuts how much would you charge for a 4×4 foot wargaming table done in this style?

[@Paepercuts]

The Hyper Gamer !! Hi, well that's hard to say because when making a gaming table i have to look at specific things gamers look for, such as what game they play and how much terrain they want on it. I had to stop taking in commisions lately because i got a bit snowed under with work, wish i could do this full time ;)

[@thehypergamer9873]

Paepercuts ok thanks if you ever start to do do again I would like to purchase a board from you and I play warhammer age of sigmar and 40k

[@etiennelefebvre9413]

Myself I decided recently i wanted to start making custom swamp bases for a few of my miniatures so thanks for taking the time in making these videos to teach others. I admire how the majority of the materials you made yourself, I know i don’t have as much patience as you to make and paint the vegetation however i appreciate to know my options.

[@Paepercuts]

Nice to hear thank you, Good luck with your swamp bases!

[@Sanorace]

I rang the notification bell. I don't want to miss your next project. That trick with testing out your opacity with water before the resin is a great tip.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks glad you found it useful! I hope to ring that bell soon i'm working on a few projects at the moment, cheers ;)

[@vonries]

Well I glad to see that you added in the cypress tree knees even if you didn't know what they were. Those aren't stumps in the normal context. They were never trees. What you see is however big it's grown so far. I assume it holds whatever a tree needs, so if there's a bad year or string of years, then the tree can get what it needs to survive. However, I'm no tree engineer. Reference photos like you used are so vital when you want a certain look. Excellent use sir, excellent use. I guess I'm going to have to up my game. I have seen lots of people use them before, but never seen where it saved someone's ass so well. Excellent piece in general as well.

[@KYTD]

They're not stumps sticking up from the water, actually! They're called cypress knees, they're part of the root sticking up into the air.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks i didn't know that haha. That explains why they have about the same texture as the trees ;) Cheers

[@rmcgavock1]

Beautiful work - it always surprises me how much a little light gray helps make terrain really pop. Also, great tips for vegetation. Thanks for the video.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome. Cheers.

[@carljaklic8934]

The tool you used to check for a level surface is simply called a "Level" or possibly a "Bubble Level" (for obvious reasons). Enjoyed your videos. Even though I'm not making a swamp or South Western US terrain, I've learned a lot about different techniques and materials. Thanks Carl

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed my vids and that they were of use to you. Thanks for the naming of the 'levels' i'll remember that for the next time i come across it. Cheers!

[@subascosauce8288]

I love your project, and your commentary is fab, you don’t come out with all that hobby jargon, just how it is, whacking sticks etc very funny. 👍

[@trojan403]

Simply amazing. Your patience, creativity, attention to detail and imagination are second to none, wow what a beautiful piece!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you for the kind words ;) Glad you liked it, cheers!

[@yanbertrand4541]

With your desert one, again one more impressive base... lots of coherence in details... fan of your work ! congrats !!! and thanks again for sharing your talent...

[@glenn2921]

My favourite KZbin video of all time

[@djionzir]

I have watched many mini waterfalls and miniatures. I would say this was the most time consuming in a good way. diligent. v realistic

[@dragloak2008]

I know I’m super late, but I just want to say this is amazing, and thanks. I watch this over and over again, because I (for some reason) find this really relaxing.

[@showalk]

This is incredibly useful for me, as I'm hoping to make a swampy Star Wars diorama. Beautiful work, and excellent tips. My only wish is that this had been a voiced video, but I can manage.

[@RamoArt]

This is one of the best Terrain videos I've watched.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it :)

[@hpiguy]

This is gorgeous! I'm not a gamer but I make dioramas for my scale models and will use many of these ideas on my projects. Excellent tips and techniques!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it, good luck on the diorama makings that is so much fun ;)

[@adamwelch4336]

Oh yeah these are great for school projects

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Such cool and realistic terrain! I love that you use real materials; this really gives it an authentic look! I love how careful and meticulous you are with your work. It is really inspiring! Thanks for posting!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much ;) I'm glad you liked it and took a bit of inspiration from it! Cheers

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thank you for posting!

[@antoniomontivero2589]

all materials are real mateterials

[@antoniomontivero2589]

but ok

[@lordpraga]

Great video! I really love the irish coffee technique for the pouring of the resin.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you! Glad you liked it ;)

[@guacamaca64]

This reminds me of my last vacation in tigre, Buenos Aires. the swampy climate, the docks abandoned and full of mold, the plants and the water of beige-brownish-green colors. Every time I think about it, I feel nostalgia, the feeling of wanting to return to that incredible and dangerous place ... tnx for make it!

[@snaxx6316]

I just love how you made this *Alive* I love how you used real plants and such to make this look unique and real. This literally looks like the realest and most alive mini swamp ever. Nice job! Can you make a Desert next?

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks glad you liked it. I'll add a desert to my to-do list!

[@snaxx6316]

Paepercuts yay you replied 😂 thanks I love your work man.

[@andrewcannon299]

"I know they look like some illegal smoking device" I subbed straight away 😂

[@Paepercuts]

Haha thanks ;)

[@scottvaldez6699]

I love the calm music...

[@nolandamico5158]

Great way of labeling your supplies I wish every tutorial did that

[@carlsondarlson3020]

someone should make a stop-motion film using your amazing crafts as scenes!

[@nicholasbuxey9966]

Beautiful attention to detail. Excellent tutorial. Very well presented.

[@bryanwooden9245]

Slow clap, sir. This is some next level work.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks!

[@oscarfernandomonfortepalac8327]

Tremendous works, I would really like to be able to do something like this, I would be very grateful if you could upload the subtitles of this video that does not have them. I am from Córdoba Argentina, I read a lot of English but when I listen to it I lose a lot of various details. Thank you very much in advance and I hope you continue uploading such good material.

[@MrJorum]

Great job on this! I love that you used nature's work to do this. You have inspired me to make stuff with my dad and I! Good job P.S my daughter wrote this

[@Paepercuts]

Good to hear and thank you. Have fun on your hobby projects together!

[@Lissa71]

WOW!!! Amazing!!! If I had one suggestion.. on the trees use real moss for the hanging portions. Other then that.. I am stunned! Exellent work!

[@KOTEC525]

I am stealing so many tips from this tutorial for my next swamp base!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@terrain-hardy]

I just become so completely enchanted, every time I see one of your videos ... what a great piece of work !!!! Your attention to detail and your choice of color are really fantastic. Ik hoop dat je nooit zal stoppen met het maken van deze fantastische video's ... ( google translate) ;-) Many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work ... ;-))

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much!Haha i just love your comments, i can see you have a true talent for creativity! The google translate was spot on it made me laugh haha, and i shall do my best to make it happen!Thank you for your comment my friend ;)

[@marmank]

Geweldig. Wat een engelen geduld moet je hiervoor hebben. Het resultaat is heel mooi. Bedankt voor de video.

[@Paepercuts]

Bedankt man en graag gedaan!

[@brendencalvo8401]

Soooooooo glad this popped into my feed. I just made a little Bayou/river type scene a couple weeks ago. Good content! Thank you !

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome! ;)

[@ramchickedy9570]

Really impressive! Also good to see the dutch products you use: helps me to reproduce your work-arounds way better, if I can just buy the same glue here at karwei or gamma ;). Also giving info about all products below is a great service. Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to more videos!

[@Paepercuts]

Nice! Glad you found it useful. For stuff like pva glue, masking tape and cheap paints i usually go to 'Action' stores. They got good deals so if you have one closeby i'd check there first. Cheers and good luck on your hobby projects ;)

[@kakurof]

Loving that irish coffee technique! Great tutorial mate.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it! ;)

[@EmmLee1111]

How did I just find this channel! Since you're Dutch it will make it so much easier to shop for products for me! Great video's, subbed!

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks and you're very welcome!

[@shellbug3100]

This is 1 amazing piece! It totally kicks ass!! I'm so glad u left it in real time, I so enjoyed watching u work on this!!!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it :)

[@stevemcwhorter3013]

Excellent video! Very, very informative with lots of good descriptions. Thanks much for all of the advice.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much ;) i'm glad you found it useful!

[@kittysplosions]

I'm so impressed. I wish I had the materials and the patience to do things like this. It would make D&D soooo much cooler.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you glad you liked it :)

[@gabewright5571]

For future reference, the "tree stumps" are cypress knees; they're an extension of the roots of the cypress trees near them. I live in Louisiana, and I haven't been to too many swamps, but you captured the essence of it.

[@Paepercuts]

Ahh great good to know thank you!

[@waterlevel424]

I'm planning on making an alien planet diorama with my dad, so this is really helpful! Also, my sister and her friends play d&d and I was thinking of making them a cool game board.

[@Paepercuts]

That's good to hear thanks. Yes make them a nice D&D board that is always a great idea!

[@cindyhilt9371]

You do spectacular work. You have given me a huge inspiration for a Halloween Village diorama. Thank you so much for this awesome video. I would have paid for a seminar at a Dept 56 show for this excellent quality instruction.

[@Raekiel]

Love the video, your voice is super soothing! Thank you for posting this!! It came out beautiful.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome.

[@taco36963]

I have to say i just found your videos. You do awesome work . I am looking for a few more of your videos to raise my level of terrain building. thanks for making these!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome ;) Have fun with the hobby

[@seanhaney8748]

Amazing work and attention to detail. I've enjoyed every minute of this video. Great narration and production quality. 10/10 and a new sub!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and welcome!

[@ImaginerImagines]

You are a very gifted artist. Keep going and keep sharing. Thank you.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you for the kind words and you're very welcome!

[@ColonelRebScaleModels]

Truly AMAZING work....just breathtaking.....have a great weekend...

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much and same to you!

[@SH-qs7ee]

Only problem I can see with it is no one wanting to put their miniatures onto such a beautifully detailed work of art. It is spectacular, I can almost imagine the bayou smell coming off it

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks!

[@labontis6132]

Everything about the work the work you do (both on the terrain as well as the video itself) is rad man! Subbed

[@randark3etnian]

you're awesome bro! every detail give the realistic touch to the whole!! 10+

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you sir!

[@TomBennett1]

I'm sorry I just came across your video and I truly was expecting that diorama was going to have to have a swamp thing figure in there somewhere and I was super excited to see it but it didn't happen that would have been the only thing that I would have added to the swamp thing. Lol. Very very excellent work and keep up the great work you do it's really amazing.

[@LadySenu]

Your humor is great lolol thanks for such a wonderful video! Love your work

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks!

[@TheTomar33]

Nice, the details make it pop.

[@pooderquaste1]

I like your style.You are like the lebowski of minipainting!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you my friend! Hahaha yea i force people to listen to my bad jokes, can't help it !

[@jocoserious17]

the tree Stumps you see in swamps are like tree snorkels, they take in air

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks good to know!

Great video, great tipps, great explanations! Can't wait for more!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it ;)

[@TheStormFish]

Fantastic and thorough tutorial thanks. Btw, the yellow thing you brought out for resin pouring is a "level"

[@hammerofgodminiatures]

Amazing job friend! Really love your attention to detail. Very good tutorial 👍🏻

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you!

[@Fourwheeljive]

Wow! An incredible display! Well done! You are an artist and a craftsman.

[@stellacashman8614]

This looks so awesome. Although, if I were to do anything differently, I would've painted the sides so that they looked like the different levels of earth.

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks! That would be a nice touch for sure

[@naturallyirrelevant9639]

Triangles are the most structurally sound shape to use when building. Just a little FYI for anyone who might want to know.

[@ToddWPerry]

Great job and you were very good at your step by step directions, thank you!

[@omegaiteration]

First video of yours I've watched, your "products used overview" gained my sub lol. Amazing job!!

[@baia7490]

I saw this today for the 1st time and i had to subscribe.. amazing work, keep it Up. I'll check all your vids.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much and welcome!

[@SteamGeezerUK]

This just popped up as a recommended video and I'm glad I watched it - you've given me a great idea for a diorama. I look forward to watching all your other videos. Lovely diorama, very impressive.

[@nancypahl7755]

Most impressive! I'm studying techniques for making dioramas like yours to use in making little air plant scenes, using live air plants. I have a plastic "Swamp Thing" figure I'm going to incorporate into one of them. He would look right at home in your beautiful Bayou.

[@sitearm]

such a dry wit to make such a wet terrain : ) ty for posting!

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks and you're welcome!

[@rubenvanzegen7104]

great stuff! This vid inspired me to take up my brushes and craft materials again! Bedankt!

[@Paepercuts]

Nice! Good to hear it got you back into the hobby again my friend ;) Graag gedaan!

[@thijnjanssen7924]

Kopi scones are actually wasp nursurys, by injecting venom into a tree, the tree reacts to it by making a cone shaped structure. The form on nursery depends on the strength of the poison and the kind of wasp

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you that's really interesting. I searched for this and asked local suppliers but no one seemed to know what it really was. Cheers!

[@thijnjanssen7924]

Paepercuts you're welcome

[@luthien368]

Wonderful work! It was fascinating to see how many different things you used for plants :D To add algae you could paint on top of the water using thick colors

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you! Great tip i'll give that a try sometime cheers

[@Gulfstreamer]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love your humor too! Thanks for submitting your videos! I'm a happy new subscriber!

[@ImaginationHobbies]

wow man! amazing work! so much patience and creativity!

[@Paepercuts]

Thanks glad you liked it :)

[@Darksouhls]

I love how you made it. And it's easy to follow.

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you Steve and you're very welcome! :)

[@Brian-yc4mi]

Beautiful! You sir are an artist!

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you very much kind sir!

[@jonbauml225]

Best swamp I've ever seen

[@Antipholous]

The tool you used that you didn't know how to say in English is called a level. Great terrain!

[@Paepercuts]

Great thanks i'll remember next time, cheers :)

[@pascalmarks8036]

Hast du gut gemacht, sieht schön aus!

[@fyrimamirosa]

This swamp terrain turned out so incredible! I was wondering what kind of little white flowers did you use? Thanks again for all of the inspiration! 😊

[@Paepercuts]

Thank you and you're very welcome! I think the flowers are some type of Amaryllis, but i'm not sure. I order them from RealityInScale ( Dutch webpage) but i have also seen them on Ebay. Search for '1/35 or 1/24 scale White Flowers' Good luck ;)

[@fyrimamirosa]

Awesome, I'll check out that website! :)

[@fuzzayD]

Amazing work. Has really helped me with my own terrain.

[@Paepercuts]

Good to hear! Thank you for your comment, Cheers ;)

[@MyenaSerena]

En toen zag ik de gamma zaag voorbij komen... superleuke videos!

[@Paepercuts]

Dank je!

[@Morec0]

I didn't think I'd need this, but then they made the Kruleboyz. We gonna be goin' down in the bayou, cuz!

[@michaelgarcia9326]

This is really awesome this is something I would love to do! Super cool. It’s a process but definitely worth it excellent work 👌🏾
