In this video, I'll be taking you through the process of scale modeling and building a miniature Roman arch. I'll show you how to texture XPS foam using aluminum foil and pencils, and how to finish the miniature with a coat of plaster and paint. Maybe we can learn some Latin words along the way?

EPIC MINIS. $1 A MONTH. SERIOUSLY. www.myminifactory.com/users/WitchsongMiniatures

[@XyerDark]

Love Roman architecture and I'm always happy to see it in miniature form.

[@graefx]

Having the intact statue be removable and used as a encounter is a great call. Makes me think of the Harryhausen Colossus. Of course my mind also goes to pulling double duty for 40k with a Marine statue switch out. This, Zrop Minas Tirith, Eric's roman columns building. Theres something about these type of builds that I gravitate towards

[@dodgydioramas]

Great use of texture techniques and love the subject matter.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks so much!

[@HouseDM]

Such an incredible build Knarb! Well done.

[@Dan_Does]

Very bloomin' nice, Knarb.

[@tanner4412]

You say detroit, but most of it isn’t pleasant… ever been to Toledo? Jokes aside, wonderful work! I watch as a sleep aid as crafting gets me in a sleepy, comfortable mood :) thank you for all you do!!

[@antoniogarcia6737]

Egg crates are great for sculptamold substitute

[@modelermark172]

I'm very impressed with your building technique that combines tried-and-true traditional methods with cutting edge innovations like laser cutters and 3D Printing. Your end result is the best of both modeling schools!

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Excellent as always. Anyone who doesn't like it can be considered your....Arch enemy.

[@KnarbMakes]

Oh thats good. haha!

[@philRminiatures]

A superb and realistic Roman arch, a creative and spectacular work!

[@TonyE727]

Oh, I'm in the Witchsong tribe. I missed that model. This is a really great build.

[@nightcitycrafts]

That build was a lot of fun to watch. You sold me on Inks.

[@nordicson2835]

Thanks dude... just ordered a pizza... l will finish this when it arrives. You should start selling those glue gun bases. Great work , Top Marks.

[@brianahawkins8124]

Beautiful.💖 Maybe the rider ventured into the Gorgons lair to battle Medusa.

[@KnarbMakes]

Oh most definitely!

[@chrisdavidson2810]

sweet craft!, looking forward to seeing more of that castlevania castle

[@Gandellion]

That mug you use for plaster looks just about big enough for my daily 100 cups of tea

[@KnarbMakes]

That's a lot of tea!

[@Gandellion]

@@KnarbMakes I’m English born and raised so I’m basically non functioning without sufficient tea

[@josray2557]

That is awesome and looks like it could scale with larger figures too.

[@Nat1videos]

Love it man! Fantastic diorama. Weathering effect turned out perfectly and the Statue is awesome!

[@KnarbMakes]

Does most of the heavy lifting haha! Cheers man!

[@YarnAce]

DUDE I love that hot glue gun stand you are so epic.... oh and the arch is cool too but omg a hot glue gun stand.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I absolutely love the wide range of materials and tools you used on this project. So many great variations.

[@RM-vw3ov]

Great build! The aging just great. Well done.

[@dirtywhitellama]

Looks great, the weathering is convincing and the chariot adds a great sense of scale. Only thing that could be better is a bit of grass or other greenery in the corners!

[@RiganoBuilding]

Labour Ipse Voluptas: il lavoro è esso stesso un piacere - the work is itself a pleasure. Nice triumph Arch!

[@IronFreee]

Looking for references always pays off... Even for fantasy/Sci-fi projects. Very nice idea and execution!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

I love the damaging on the building and on the lettering. Amazing dry brush and air brush work. It came out great! : )

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks T-Nu. Always satisfying to drybrush something like this.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I loved the video and the build!

[@taramariatravis2486]

Wow your Roman architecture, is full of beautiful interesting details and the colours are breathtaking they just pop out with the details and the design is gorgeous 😍🥰🥰🥰❤️

[@TheManInRoomFive]

Brilliant!

[@solid_jr]

Nice work Knarb. And Latin now too? Takes me back to my Catholic school days... (almost as far back as Roman architecture really). The Roman's likely only used their laser cutters for the planning and design phase of the project. Maybe for tabletop terrain and minis too. World conquest takes strategizing. I like that you're branching out from 40k. Having said that, I desperately need to find a Librarian terminator kitbash video. Nobody must use them in game because I can't find a decent model. Hope the new game is doing well. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but maybe I'll have some time over the holidays. Take care and Happy Holidays.

[@KnarbMakes]

I did a digital kitbash of a librarian earlier this year. Lots of models to choose from out there. Stay frosty and thanks for watching!

[@reddogterrain]

Very cool. Well done.

[@kitbashbox]

Fantastic piece!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Such an intriguing thumbnail!

[@1x1.studio]

This is phenomenal dude! I've always love the Romans architecture

[@veronica5896]

Thanks for sharing! Great stuff!!!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArtJeremiah]

Always amazing! Your 100k subscribers are well deserved.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Jeremiah! I'm still not really understanding how many people that is.

[@alexandercain8904]

5:39 definitely better than carpe diem

[@SteveFamine]

Fantastic!

[@KnarbMakes]

Youre fantastic Steve!

[@Ernzt8]

Nice!

[@WeltenbauerClub]

Very nice build. Like it

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Sigurd!

[@Centurion3D]

Pompeii!!!

[@BrettBallanger]

Love your work Knarb. Another great concept and execution! Have you ever thought about doing a construction site terrain project? Scaffolding, rubble, equipment offer all sorts of opportunities.

[@KnarbMakes]

Oh that would be neat to do a full board on, the site of a mega-structure but in the initial stages of construction.

[@BrettBallanger]

@@KnarbMakes Definitely. So many options from historical and fantasy to modern or even sci-fi. I can totally see potential for a sci-fi board too.

[@CCMinis]

Magnifica creatura Mr Knarb!

[@KnarbMakes]

I don't speak french. :)

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

I’m wondering when mdf terrain compagnies are (finally) going to catch on onto etched eva. Great job as always.

[@KnarbMakes]

I think it adds a layer of complexity, and supporting multiple materials adds cost for those kits. Thanks for watching!

[@lexi_9995]

Opponants of this build would also be the arch-itect of their own destruction...

[@ScratchBashing]

When in Rome... *you gotta watch your back in space*

[@KnarbMakes]

Always watch your back in space

[@AbandonedMiniatures]

Looks epic Knarb! Being lazy is working out for you

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Nic! Being lazy is great.

[@ono1381]

Laser cutter need. Big need

[@j6947j]

This is amazing! Where did you get the corinthian columns? I’ve been trying to find some for a project and can’t find any in the right scale anywhere!

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

* horsey nutso person chuckles * Chesnutbrown... Chesnut is the wholly red one. Brown is the one with nutty brown body and black mane/tail. Still a KICKASS good thing there! Lots of ideas and good use of materials.

[@KnarbMakes]

Haha, oh no. I've made a grave mistake. Thanks for watching nonetheless!

[@sofiaottoman]

[@laurettadelmar2781]

Clicked on this video wanting to see how you built it but also to see if I could get the Latin right…I was kinda close

[@lostspyder]

I might have missed it but how did you do the road texture/brick design?

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

Lightning Geopop, Detroit edition: during the pandemic, municipal actors have demolished most vacant and decrepit buildings and warehouses which dramatically reduced squatters and gang activity: and just in time. The reshoring of heavy industry from China is mostly coming to Houston, Texas, but since many empty factory buildings still serviceable in Detroit still have needed electric, gas, and water infrastructure for machine fabrication. The land is cheap, and the population wants to get back to work. Detroit's worst days are behind it. Look for Detroit to be a break out in heavy machinery in the next 8 years!

[@KnarbMakes]

Interesting. I guess my jokes are a bit outdated. Thanks for dropping by with some geopop wisdom Baron!

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

@@KnarbMakes still funny jokes tho 🤣🤣

[@harlandmountain7998]

Any chance for the stl for that kitbashed red archway? Please?
