Let's stop *just* making castle ruins

[@allgreatfictions]

This talking head style video felt really calming and personal. As usual, what a great video. :)

[@raecheldoes]

Thank you! I'm glad it added to the vibes 😊

[@jakkopka]

Agreed. Really liked this one. (:

[@lamalediction2581]

damn the amount of dopamine that is released in my body whenever I got that new Raechel video notification

[@dartmart9263]

These walls look so exotic (Minoan?) and yet still look ancient and vaguely Greco Roman also. So unique. I love it. Please make more expansions in this style! Thanks!

[@Spac3_Duck]

Would be awesome to see some mountain terrain or caverns next :D

[@TheFlickeringTorch]

Cheap tip - if you dont have a clay tool for doing the step at 3:10 you can use the edge or corner of a d6

[@raecheldoes]

Oh I would've never thought of that. Thanks for the tip!

[@KnudAutlermann]

This is the most detailed Terrain tutorial guide I have ever seen... Just wow...

[@raecheldoes]

Ahahaaa you're too kind 😅

[@lilcwa]

This was a cool project. Make more videos like this one.

[@techadeptcrafts]

I totally relate to the undercurrent of mania. Crafting is my happy place, but can certainly be a deep rabbit hole. The puns are great. Love the video.

[@raecheldoes]

Yeah it can definitely be hard to walk that fine line between happy place and rabbit hole 😅 Thank you all around!

[@TheDrewjameson]

These look SO good. Slicing layers off the outside of the foam and the brown ink wash do a ton of work to make these look and feel ruinous! I definitely agree that dry brushing doesn't have to be the last step, and the reddish wash giving the illusion of layers of separate stone was a phenomenal touch. I'm inspired!

[@raecheldoes]

Thank you so much for the compliments and your detailed feedback! It really helps me to know what you guys find helpful 😊

I love your videos so much, it’s so inspiring to me how you can make both the work of art you’re making a tutorial for and the work of art that is the video itself at the same time! Thank you for sharing your work with us 🥹 💕

UDO is my life philosophy!❤

[@raecheldoes]

It's been mine too haha

[@plasmaportl]

I used to use an old soldering gun for all of my texturing when I made walls like this.

[@raecheldoes]

That would work perfectly! I was similarly considering using my heat knife for some texturing.

[@jonathanrozenbergs3661]

I love these tutorials!!! They're like all I need. Came up with another UDO idea to keep you up at night: With the way these are made to stack, I could imagine there being a wall topper that could be a cornice piece. This would allow for the walls to be assembled into a temple front, or the cornice pieces could be placed on the ground to accentuate the ruin feel and provide cover

[@raecheldoes]

Yes. Excellent. Most definitely, certainly not going to keep me up at night. Yeah. Mhm. That's a great idea, honestly! I will add it to the bank for potentially future videos. 😊 And I appreciate the enthusiastic praise!

[@thenymphomancer5592]

For rounding corners on things that don't/can't get the shake in a can with rocks method I'll use side of a ball clay tool (the bar/spike the ball sits on). I rub it along the edge.

[@raecheldoes]

That's a great meet-in-the-middle tip!

[@S.A.S.H.]

So... Just discovered your videos. Great tips for making foam ruins. Good production values, too. Well done, you.

[@raecheldoes]

Woohoo! I appreciate the generous feedback 😊

[@JM-qz4ik]

this is fantastic. Love all the detail. The editing for this seems like it may have take 2 eternities. The work really shows. Nicely done! One thought, the wash technique you're attempting appears to want to mimic oil washes. It's a reductive technique. The mineral spirits smell can be off-putting, but it will be a lot less effort (though oil paint, even as a wash, takes an hour before you can start removing it). Black Magic Craft switched to this a long the way. You might find it easier for your terrain pieces as well. Great idea. The walls look great. Your D&D adventure looks genuinely epic!!

[@raecheldoes]

Haha thank you for the compliments! And don't worry, the editing only took 1.5 eternities. I have seen BMC's videos on oil washes and I am probably subconsciously trying to mimic that aesthetic! I'll put a coin in the jar of 'consider switching over to oil washes' now 🙃

[@dungineering]

I really like the color scheme you picked for these ruins!

It is an honour to be put on anyone's project list! And I hope they were all appropriately groan-inducing.

[@destero8853]

[@raecheldoes]

[@dirigoallagash3464]

You have a face! 😜 These are awesome. Instead of slicing off every corner of every wall, keep a sheet of 120 or 180 grit sandpaper handy and shave the corners down. I gotta believe that's faster. Along with your crafting, I gotta say, your editing is top notch as well. Good stuff all around. Cheers. (I'm not coming up with any decent puns which is really annoying me. 😤)

[@mrgunn2726]

@dirigoallagash3464 Sanding is a great time saving suggesting, but sanding foam should be done out of doors while wearing a mask, foam dust is not healthy and it is messy.

[@louisvanier8155]

I did manage to get similar-ish results to sanding and cutting with scraping the edge of the piece with the blade of a sharp utility knife sideways. Pretty much dust free, no hard edges, way faster than cutting.

[@raecheldoes]

I do! And thank you for the compliments! I do agree that sanding would probably be faster, but I can't be bothered with the dust and making sure I'm appropriately masked and clean after :P

[@janetcameron4652]

I've been thinking about making terrain out of trash I find. I live in a very windy area so it blows all around especially at the apartment complexes. I see a lot of amazing videos using MDF. I'm wondering if I can get a similar effect with layered recycled cardboard.

[@MythicProps]

Love the videos, keep it up! I know a lot of your content is heavily influenced by RP Archive, but if I'm being honest, you do it better! Nothing against Matt, but I find I personally have to watch his videos multiple times, and pause them over and over to grasp the instructions and measurements (not even talking following along while crafting said video content). Your videos - for whatever reason I can't put my finger on - are clear, concise, easy to follow, and have the added bonus of fantastically themed puns. All this to say, if you would recreate YOUR version/spin of most of Matt's content, I'd be here for it! Either way, keep making these fantastic videos :D

[@raecheldoes]

I'm super flattered you find my instructions easy to follow and enjoyable haha. There are projects that I can see myself putting my own twist on, so there may be some down the pipeline 🤗

A lot of KZbin crafter don't do that and it makes it seem like a fully necessary step, and then I am left having to sus out for myself which steps have to done no matter what and which ones are just them being anal about a detail. But not with you! As someone who could probably benefit from being a little MORE anal about details, I appreciate the "UDO" labels 😁

[@raecheldoes]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback on UDO 😊 It is more of a necessity to do it with pieces under camera close-ups, but I know for myself how much more time it adds, which may not be needed for an at-home-game with friends. All this to say that I'm glad you found the UDO helpful!

[@kyletipperwolf]

I've been doing magnetic walls for a while and never had one pop out. My secret is using tacky glue instead of hot glue. The downgrade is that you need to let it harden over night, but it lasts way longer than hot glue. No need to do the hole filling with mod podge/paint.
