Nice one getting back to an old project and see it through. I am just starting out and of course went out and spent 700 bucks first trip to hobby store. Its been 4 mos and i have finish 4 projects...small projects but i got better on each build by watching yours and others youtube videos. Thank you for inspiring us all bro!!!

[@MyklCarlton]

Loot does excellent work and has just started a separate project with sci-fi characters, creatures and terrain! But they'd look a bit lonely without your wonderful terrain to inhabit.

[@AnimationsCraftingMore]

Well done! Good that you didn't gave up ;)

[@RPRsChannel]

You have forgotten something: you have children. Next time, make them make the shingles.

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

Wow, that's pretty awesome

[@Nerdforge]

This looks sooooooooo gooooood dude! Have wanted to do a similar project for so long, so taking a lot of inspiration from this!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Heeyyyyy thank you so much you guys and for taking the time out of your crazy schedule to stop by and watch and comment! Really, means a lot.😊 And yeah, would absolutely LOVE to see you're take on something like this!!

I didn't know you watched him too! I'm subscribed to both of you!

I yelped "MARTINA IS HERE" when I randomly found this guy and scrolled into the comments :D

[@iamthatisnt]

Of course Martina is here for this.

SKJERA BAGERA!

[@WiseOldBill]

being reminded of your old tavern build has the same feeling as opening an old box and finding a mini you've not seen for 10 years and used to love

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Awe great comment. 🥰

[@MaxDMCrafting]

This project was A REFERENCE for us all making fantasy terrain! Those techniques and your attention to the details inspired me so much! Thanks for sharing this final chapter, I feel like now the circle is complete. THANK YOU!

OUTSTANDING 🤘🍻

[@johnwimbush]

Baldur's Gate Inn music; fantastic! Spent almost as many hours playing that as you did making those shingles.

[@lyndilou6314]

Love how it turned out. The windows are perfect and blacksmithing the door hardware was genius and added that distinct RTH touch. Spectacular!

[@johnmcmahon9087]

I agree with you whole heartedly, this work is inspired and amazing. Although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cringe a little when I saw the vice and hammer on the granite benchtop 😨

[@TheKiltyONeal]

Glad to see the tavern finally finished! I counted "ahead" 62 times.

[@rthomas1031]

Wow! Layers upon layers of Awesomeness!

[@gettingpolitical]

Remember the old paper cut outs lol To this day I still build all my buildings, land marks, etc out of card board and craft paper. Love it all

[@aaronbono4688]

When do you ever work a simple project? You are a sign of a true perfectionist, and you do incredible work.

[@tedhoward573]

Neil, amazing work!! So glad you went back and finished this. Everything happens at the right time. You should be extremely proud at this wonderful accomplishment. It’s unbelievable.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thank you Ted. Really appreciate that my friend. :)

[@thunderballz74]

Absolute master class my friend!!!

[@TheAbsolutecad]

It looks really good. Doesn't matter if it took 3.5 years - you didn't have the skills and vision when you started, but you DID start and thus committed yourself to complete it when you knew enough to do it justice Congratulations, Sir. Be proud

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Wow. This was WAY more detailed and realistic than I would ever have tried. - For shingles, I use food box cardboard cut into individual shingles, and use a bad brush to apply texture paste to get the wood grain. The big 'trick' for the shingling is to run a course of half-length shingles on the bottom edge of the roof to give the bottom course of full-size shingles the right profile. This is a trick I got from someone who actually roofed with cedar shingles. Oh, and for where two roof planes meet in a valley, I first put down a full-length folded piece of the cardboard, to later paint as corroded copper, or oxidized lead. This is also something done on real cedar or slate shingled roofs.

[@KnarbMakes]

I remember being really amazed at the tavern build project, can't believe it's been so long since you had started it. Good on you for going back to it!

[@nekrataali]

Yeah I remember this was the first video I watched on this channel and it got me to subscribe. I refuse to believe that was 3 1/2 years ago.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

haha that's so awesome. Really cool to see who's been around since that video. And yeah man, time flies!

[@alexeyagapov4205]

That's it. This right here is the inspiration I've been looking for. While there are many cool crafts out there, this one goes beyond simply cool and ticks all my boxes. Atmospheric low-fantasy looking color palette? Check. Charming irregular shingles? Check. Cozy windows one could sit in front of while lecturing four hobbits on the Ringwraiths and being 100% badass? Check. Incredible woodwork around the doors and windows? Check. Reasonably small size instead of huge 5-inch ceilings? Check. Baldur's Gate reference in the mix? Check. This is incredible. Thank you very much for sharing this!

[@DarkMatters96]

Oh, Neil, my terrain journey was also overshadowed with going for way too complex project (Hagrid's hut diorama actually) in the very beginning. But just as you did, I still managed to find resources (thanks to the YT crafters' wonderful community and my girlfriend's support) to finish that abandoned project. Despite some scale and other small mistakes, it came out supercool overall! I'm so proud of myself that I accomplished this task and didn't give up. That's the most rewarding thing ever.

[@heero1224]

If nothing else, the Baldur's Gate sound bites at the end make this perfect.

[@manlymanyo2511]

Absolutely FN AMAZING. Great job

[@onlyjazztoday]

Simply briliant!

[@mxpxdude]

Is not a bad thing you were not the 'youtuber' you are now. How this project started made me start this hobby in the first place. Fact is, you're still an amazing artist.

[@diyhometheaterguy]

Wow. Just wow.

dude...its obviously you are a master of it and i think you are very enjoy at it, you have one new subscriber. its AMAZING

It's super helpful to hear these kinda stories. I find myself in this situation alllllll the time...

[@jae509]

This is the kind of work my a level art teacher expects from me in a month

[@theladyamalthea]

I know this project took a long time, but the effort was NOT wasted! That is the most beautiful tavern I have ever seen!! (Love the Baldur’s Gate music at the end)!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Thank you so much. You're too too kind :)❤️

[@alldayubum]

I agree

[@matildaagren6212]

You are a total madman. Period. Just starting on a project like that is insane, and to be able to finish it… Hats of man.

[@michellerabey6637]

How fitting, I watched this video ages ago when I originally found this channel and now it's the first one I come back to!

[@danzoo6711]

dud what is this production quality. the edits, the slow paning camera time-lapse, insane. great job! and then the actual project itself. even crazier. I mean REAL METTAL! come on that's the best thing ever. you have blown my mind. and this is only the first video I watch by you. can't wait to get to see the rest! amazing work!

[@RaiderAvian]

I watched the old video and remember you doing the stairs, fire place, and the walls. I am glad to see your making a video coming back to the tavern.

[@gymnosophist7471]

This is my favourite of all your projects and I was pleased to see it finally finished! What I love most is that it is entirely your own work and your own ingenuity , and doesn’t rely on 3D printed parts or store-bought embellishments. Great work! 🙂

[@АленаВ-к9л]

Yes, I lake this too!

[@owenvanbruchem1863]

The base was the furst video i watched from u so im watching you almost 4 years thats crazy

[@mjpete27]

Well Sir, I admire your decision to go back and finish this epic project! I am a newer sub and I remember my first abandoned project. I had only my local hobby store for support and the owner was not as encouraging as the train guys that I met there while shopping. I attempted a train depot and I kept working on it for months before I let my brother destroy it with pyrotechnics that he was learning about for movie model production. This hobby has become something else entirely than when I first started in 1967! Yep that’s the date of my first creation. I admire your diligence and artistry, and I have taken very small steps to go back to making, thank you for sharing your expertise and just being a resource for inspiration and encouragement! Amazing construction Neil, truly amazing!

[@1stEldestWolf]

I love the Old Bulder's Gate 1 shout out at the end. "Is clean as an Elvern's ars!" Miss that game. XD

[@ferbieticklater7429]

Just come back from a holiday and I subscribe to over 40 KZbin channels so you can imagine I have a LOT of vids to catch up on. I have to confess to skipping through some of them and some I didn't even look at then I came to this vid. I am a tank modeller, world war II in particular, but I also like diorama modelling vids and that is how I came to subscribe to RTH. I started to watch thinking it's not too long see how it goes... OMG ! the patience you have to make a model in such detail amazes me. This is brilliant work and I am so glad I didn't skip over it. Looking forward to the next one that I will definitely NOT skip over. Stay safe friend!

[@Skyliner03]

In such a tavern, I would go for goulash, roast and beer every day. Fireplace, medieval music, medieval bed, just without wifi, jukebox, ...

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

You are my kind of guy. I would happily join you on such an endeavor🍻☺

[@Skyliner03]

@@RealTerrainHobbies exactly ... one would change into one's clothes in the locker room, no washrooms, toilets, money would be exchanged for the payment of the Middle Ages, and prices would be as they used to be, maybe prices would be low or affordable so that the tavern would not go bankrupt, but tourism, and Traffic would always be 100% or more every day.

[@ronaldboal7500]

That is THE BEST scratch built tavern/inn/house that I have ever seen. I can understand burn out when taking on that level of project. Awesome job!

[@NormalBlueKangaroo]

The little bit of game audio at the end is utterly delightful. Just remember "You must gather your part before venturing forth".

[@riflemanslament9594]

Epic!!!!!! Mine has been sitting on the shelf for a year. Going to finish it now awesome! Gonna get some merch too. God speed out there

[@jencrosby6065]

Gorgeous tavern! So I came here looking for inspiration for my first building. I’m thinking I’ll start with just a playable first floor. But I can always add more floors and a roof later! When you were doing the plaster walls I got the idea to put the plaster in a squeeze bottle or cake decorating bag. I think that would make those fiddley bits easier.

[@adenydd2932]

Everything about this is simply awesome, you've nailed the medieval look and the camera work is impeccable!

[@sabahoudini]

This has got to be the most cool and realistic looking medieval house I've seen. Beautiful. It's like straight from lord of the rings or something. Amazing!

[@cheezunriceramen8995]

I wondered what had happened with this thing. I realize that this was one of your first videos, but I refuse to accept that this was one of your fist projects ever. I was blown away by the very first episode, and everything since then has been phenomenal. Your skill is amazing. Congrats on finally finishing a lurking project. We all have them. haha. It looks absolutely amazing!

[@DanSchuhrke]

Neil, your channel along with Luke Towan's are the best channels on the platform!

[@motivate2568]

Thank you so much sir 🔥🔥❤️❤️

[@GoblinPrincessKyo]

Ah yes, newbie burn out is REAL! We start out with so much enthusiasm we think we can take on anything!!! I'm a newbie in this type of craft right now hehe. I made the exact same mistake on my own youtube channel which was scary stories. I decided to do the entire month of October with a video every single day... boy did that get stressful FAST! I of course ended up giving in to the stress after a few weeks of editing and recording literally 23 hours a day. That was like 2ish damn years ago!! I'm only now planning a comeback to my channel but this time i'm gonna include everything i love doing like crafting instead of super focusing on one type of video and I defo will not be getting myself into far too big a project far too fast again. Your Tavern is freaking awesome and well worth the wait.

[@leesims5280]

When you started talking about why you Shelved the project I was like "oh, this is exactly like my FIRST project ever" XD. I actually started modelling because I saw your videos! thanks for getting me into one of my favorite things ever, MODELING! Also Super Awesome to finally see this one come off the shelf in the back of your videos and BE the actual video lol. It looks great!

[@MaxRomantschuk]

Great work sticking to it and finishing the project! It’s never easy once you’ve put something aside. Congratulations!

I started building this back in March of 2020, and Got almost as far as you were before you stopped.. I'm glad you're finishing it up, so I can finish mine, too!!

[@morganblackheart.4728]

You may not think your early attempts at being a KZbin crafter were not very good, but like several others mentioned, it was that tavern video that inspired me to get back into modeling after a thirty-five year hiatus. Besides, your talent as an artist beats a great video hands down.

[@gettingpolitical]

I did a 7 floor (each floor removable and playable) castle keep, so yea I feel your pain lol. Your build came out beautifully and I loved watching every min of it.

[@ThePixiixiq]

I cheered when you grabbed the pencil holder. The leaded look is really dotting the i!

"My Hotel's as clean as an Elven Arse!" Man, that line hit me with hard nostalgia

[@kelimar3014]

Starting of the video: “oh man I remember the tavern, i can’t believe I never noticed he didn’t finish it.” End of the video when you say it’s been three years “WHAT?!” Seriously though man, your work is awesome I can’t believe I’ve been watching your stuff for so long now. It’s really awesome to see the tavern finished, very glorious piece that I bet would feel amazing to drop on the table.

[@sc0or]

Would you like to use veneer for shingles Sir? It can give you a desired thickness I think (with removing some fairy tale style of course).

[@katmistress]

Just a little tip for you when adding the plaster to the inside of your walls to make is easier for you, you could use a pastry bag or a zip lock with a small hole cut into it. It will help you have more control when filling small gaps and will save you some time.

[@cambabiak]

So glad to see you finish this. I discovered and subscribed to your channel because of the original videos.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

I love the look of the pencil holder grate! I have been using the plastic canvas also known as "granny grate", which is a pain to paint, being a very slick plastic. I end up having to use a self-etching primer from a spray can as the first layer.

It looks amazing.I bet your pleased its finished now.We still have buildings,including some Pubs that are like this in the U.K.They are amazing still standing after hundreds of years.Modern houses will not last that long..They are actually built using dowels no nails or screws.And there are no true straight edges in them either.They have an amazing atmosphere in them too.You can almost feel all the people that have been in them.🥰

[@HaggisFist]

Came out fantastic! Love the nods to JRR and Baldurs Gate. May have taken 4 years, but your Everest is complete and absolutely gorgeous

[@jeremygriffin620]

That is just gorgeous. Your window idea is inspiring, I want to make a whole sheet and see if I could neatly cut out as needed. Heck, it would go far to making 3d printed houses look 100% better.

[@jetswift]

Really glad you finished this. I watched your early video of it back in the day. To be honest, thought it was another KZbinr as your production has changed so much. I don't do any terrain building and pretty much hate basing my minis, but love your content. Keep going, it's inspirational! :)

[@08benc]

Definitely reminds me of the homes on Fable 2, great job man 👍🏼

[@MrAbel_C]

Just a fantastic finish to a fantastic build! So glad to have been a viewer for these past few years!

[@EndoScorpion]

Looks amazing! I really love the use of wood and metal, gives it way more of an authentic look to it than the 3D printed / plastic stuff.

[@jennylawson1980]

Good for you for going back and finishing the “old” and the 😟 dreaded. I have a few projects like that boxed still bc of a move and I have used every excuse for oh the past few years not to finish…if a talented miniaturist and creator can take a step back in time…maybe in the near future I should too. Awesome project!!! It’s so realistic. You did incredible and oh the patience lol. It’s got to feel good to have this done.

Good that you feel good again mate! Just love this project you made and its one of my favorite houses I ever seen so thumbs up! And even if you never done something like this before its still a very awesome house and one of many I hope!

Found this site today and laughed. I've also abandoned my scratch made furnished fairy tavern even though it's 85% complete, good to know I'm not the only one who does that! Seeing this has given me the push I needed to bring it back out into the daylight and do what's needed to finish the thing. (Only problem is, I never know what to do with the stuff I make so it all ends up going into a cupboard).
