So, if you guys are interested in supporting the Kickstarter for these detailed sets of 3D printable Halfling Homes (and more!), let me know by signing up on the landing page here: realterrainhobbies.com/hillside-hamlet-kickstarter/ This way I can really gauge interest and see if a full on Kickstarter is the way to go! Be sure to let me know below as well. :)

[@monham5041]

Added my name and email to the list Neil. Looking forward to this developing. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Mon from Brisbane

[@readhistory2023]

If you're concerned about that one board being soft you could drill a hole and shoot some expanding foam into it, but don't fill it. That should make it more stable.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

@@readhistory2023 This is actually a genius idea! That one section firmed up really well in the end though all said and done. You might have missed it but I re tested it later (as I'd almost forgotten to!) and it holds up real well now. :)

[@eBiCrafter]

done subscribe to your email 😊

[@lyndilou6314]

Done! Added my name and email. Hope it happens for you Neil.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

We know we sent a lot of product, but we were just so excited and for good reason. It looks amazing! We're even more excited for the next video. The bookend of final touches with everything coming together for a realistic scene is particularly special. Thanks Neil :)

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

It's been great working with you guys and thank you so much for helping this project come to life. I maybe over did it a little on product shots but hey, it's exciting and I know people love seeing that sort of thing. Thanks again for all the great product. Working hard at getting this big finale all wrapped up! :)

[@viktorrietveld]

The static grass is amazing.

[@JimCArt]

Ok, good job. Next Helms Deep and Rivendell. Cause that’s where the real action is. 😁

[@GoobertownHobbies]

This is gonna be so sweet! Love the closeups of the sifting and static grass and everything. Excited to see this keep coming along!! :-)

Neil, I'm so stoked for you man. A kickstarter campaign, a massive Woodland Scenics sponsorship and you're doing a great job on the Patreon/Discord as well. And you're still a cool, down to Earth Canadian dude, lol. What a cool idea for a competition. I want that static grass applicator, so I guess you'll finally see a terrain build from me coming up soon! Can't wait to see the Shire completed.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey man. Thanks so much dude for the kind words. Really means a lot :) And yeah, I'll always remain a good ole down to eath Canuck dude hehe. Cool? May be a little questionable :D And MAN! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the competition! 😎

Awesome video! Love seeing this take shape. As someone who is also currently building a shire scene I love seeing someone else tackle it. Your halfling houses are great! Count me in the for the kickstarter or even buying them from your store.

[@BillMakingStuff]

don't know how you get your head around these MASSIVE projects... I'm terrified just watching. Amazing stuff.

[@Misha..K]

Someday... maybe you are building a biiig rusty futuristic junkyard 💜

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Haha, yeah it can be a challenge at times that's for sure. I need to do some small things for a bit now and go a bit easy on myself hehe

That paint rack at 1:00 looks to be the one I picked up a while ago and I love it. I can see all of my colors at a glance, and the bottom rack slides out for easier access. I have mostly Apple Barrel paints in mine, and they fit, if a bit snugly.

[@MidIslandCustomDiecast]

@@RealTerrainHobbies Are you using DaVinci Resolve by chance? I love the zoom in/out and panning effects on your time lapse clips.

[@Psychlist1972]

If folks want to be able to do push-ups on them, they can do a second layer of the plaster cloth. It's just like when we'd use crumpled and taped newspaper instead of that foil sheet, but it's a lot less fussy.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Been absolutely loving seeing all your progress on this, it's looking amazing! Really looking forward to seeing all the hobbit holes next time! Also, really enjoyed the way this was shot-particularly enjoyed the epic static grass montage haha. Super cool stuff~

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey, thanks Devon! There's some things I'm not happy with in this one but that's ok. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the super kind words. I did like the static grass montage too hehe. Now, it's on to the next one and we'll see if I can't fix a few things up for it this time around. Looking forward to your next vid!!! :)

[@mjpete27]

I am just so glad that you are so accessible to most levels of creators. I am not going to be able to take part in any kickstarters for quite some time. I hope you have a few more Patreon sign-ups to win the awesome prizes! I am just happy to be able to watch your videos here on KZbin. I am not likely to take on a project of this size but watching you is truly inspirational and so delightful as well! Thank you for sharing and showing us just how it is done!

[@elibarker201]

I love this build Neil! I would/will support the Kickstarter even though I might only print one hobbit home. I however would love to see some dwarf ruins in it if it really takes off, maybe just some columns like you see in Moria that would be awesome. Also while I’m at it, you might as well make a dwarf diorama next right??

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey, thanks for the kickstarter support! Appreciate it man, even if it's just for one. :) Dwarven terrain/diorama is definitely something to be done in the future!

[@danielherbera7522]

You are very talented. No one can argue with that. I really like your videos !

[@WhatnotArt]

Wow, this is really COOL!! 🤯 You’re incredible!

[@sailorjef5072]

This is so motivating, I love this series!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

The perfect comment.😊 Thanks man!

[@shevwheels]

Would punching a small hole and putting a little spray foam in the base help make it less springy without adding too much weight?

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Yeah somone else had mentioned this too. It would definitely help and is a great solution, but the added plaster on top solidified things nicely.

[@CrazyCrafterLivestream]

Great video Neil! Love this series, truly an epic table, the Kickstarter idea for those designs is quite intriguing…

[@cams.2083]

I learned a long time ago the fun if making terrain runs out when the space to store it does. But I'm sure some games store would love it...

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I'm looking at an external storage unit after this one like Lachie from Zorpazorp has for all his terrain. ;)

[@stianhaugen4016]

Very cool build! Looking forward to the Kickstarter, but please consider adding a merchant pledge level with a license to sell physical prints. Almost every 3D artist have this now. It is a great way for you to secure extra funding (more expensive pledge level), and also a great way for people out there without a 3D-printer to actually get these awesome things! Best of luck Stian Grimfield Games Norway

[@tamasmihaly1]

What kind of fights do you guys get into needing that sort of structural support? My man's doing push ups on his artwork. If anyone else does that; body-slam them into the brickwork! Beautiful project.

[@cheezunriceramen8995]

As always, excellent work. I love the design and the build itself. Are you a one-man show? Some clips make it clear you either use a rig on a track of have somebody helping. Either way, and it really doesn't matter, hats off for the video production alone. Both recording what you are doing, with fantastic moments of great lighting and contrast, but the editing as well. Top quality production ON TOP of top notch content. You should know I'd still watch you build if you were using a camera phone from 2005. But the video production is fantastic.

[@officerinsanity2165]

Looks good so far

[@bradywomack9751]

This is great if you like gaming Picnics and Cookouts. Where’s my +3 spatula?

[@ignazioacerenza9881]

A tip for the texturing of the hobbit homes. The archways of your model have the wood veins across the shape in a vertical manner. This really caught my eye cause i'm a texture artist and it's a common mistake that makes wood assets look unnatural.The wood veins would ideally conform to the shape of a long beam that has been curved, and wood beams always have the veins running along their lenght. That's just how wood is cut. If this is not an option because you're applying the wood texture procedurally or you don't have time to rearrange the uvs or re-sculpt, make sure you add details to give the idea that its made from more than one piece (by shifting the wood vein at certain intervals and by painting different shades that might suggest the wood is from different cuts). Hope this helps.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I'm well aware. Sometimes its a time spent vs practicality type of thing in order to just get things done efficiently without jumping on every little detail. I would bet you the extra time put in, which digs into all the other things I have on the go, will have little to no effect other than the rare occasional person who'd notice/take significant interest in such details. So it's a matter of balancing time for me. I'd love to spend hours/days on one model if I could. I try to add in entire new wood pieces where I can with proper grain direction when I think it's necessary. We can pretend in this fantasy world our hobbits thought it'd be a great idea to make an entire door frame from one giant felled piece of lumber, only to later discover cracking above the doorway as the wood dries and succumbs to the weather outside. A sad tale and hard lesson learned from this particular Hobbit who thought he knew better than the master carpenter in town he doesn't get along with. :)

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I really appreciate the time you took though to write that out and share your knowledge. Very much appreciate it so thank you for that. 🙂

[@ignazioacerenza9881]

[@AdamViklund]

Looking good, Neil! I'm curious about the storage situation. With this lightweight building system, do you think it would be possible to drill a couple holes in the back and hang these from hooks vertically on a wall? Or are the boards still a bit too heavy for that?
