RPG Terrain Scratch Build for Miniatures Gaming. Final Installment of the Hidden Valley Series!

[@chriscurr4593]

The idea behind making these smaller tiles has made for a great series. I really enjoyed watching how you developed the overall structure but still made each tile unique.

[@ravenstead]

Thank you! Although the tiles aren't truly modular they do work in a few different configurations.

[@lujaamko]

This series was a *towering* achievement. Looking forward to another series!

[@ravenstead]

Arrggg! The delicious puns continue! I love it!

[@onebigholiday42]

Have really enjoyed following along for this. Just tremendous stuff.

[@ravenstead]

I'm so happy you like the videos! This is such a fantastic hobby! More projects are on the way!

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Awesome series.

[@ravenstead]

I appreciate your support! Thanks!

[@earlkriewall7251]

It always gives me a laugh when you say, "Remembered to paint the inside/underneath/etc." The tower looks really nice. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@ravenstead]

Lol! Sometimes I remember! I get so excited when a build comes together the way I envision and I have a hard time thinking ahead. Thanks for watching!

[@whasgarandson9827]

Every video ist beautiful. Let the hidden valley series never end😊.

[@ravenstead]

There is a cave, abandoned mine, and a ruined tower that we have yet to explore. Maybe I need to developed my underground game? Thanks for the feedback!

[@frasercossar407]

Fantastic ending to the series! Now to rewatch the whole playlist👌 Love the tower at the end.

[@ravenstead]

Thank you so much! I'm thinking we need a build for the dungeon under the tower!

[@frasercossar407]

Absolutely! Looking forward to it!😜

[@jessquinn6106]

Fan-bloody-tastic! I was hoping you would not show them all together. Totally awesome and inspiring.

[@ravenstead]

Thank you! I can't wait to run a few encounters on it!

[@MarSara1]

A great series and love the ruins. Would love to see more of your buildings. But you do what makes you happy, here for all of it

[@ravenstead]

I do need more buildings for my Village of Barovia encounters! Thanks for watching!

[@dirtybasementterrain]

An absolutely amazing series

[@ravenstead]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching the video. More to come soon!

[@jps62]

Great build!! I like all Ravenstead videos

[@ravenstead]

Thank you for watching! I'll keep em coming!

[@cerisekappes580]

Really awesome series with gorgeous results!!!! Beautiful finishing tiles ❤😊❤

[@ravenstead]

Thank you so much! I'm excited for all of the possibilities to come!

[@philRminiatures]

Such a great final bouquet...Cracking job, subtile and wonderful use of the vegetation!

[@ravenstead]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback!

[@jacobhope6164]

This is one of my absolute favorite terrain series. I really dig your esthetic!

[@ravenstead]

Thank you! I have so many ideas for my fantasy world. The Hidden Valley has some great gaming potential.

[@likeicare33]

This was a great series to watch, I look forward to you next build 👍

[@ravenstead]

I need to create more scatter terrain but I'm already planning out a few more larger builds! Thanks for watching!

[@ianclaydon8039]

Thank you for this series, I have really enjoyed it. I'm a little sad to see that it has finally finished. I would like to see a wooded area, that forest goblin and spiders would come out of. A good series thanks.

[@ravenstead]

That idea is going in the build book! Maybe a few scatter pieces, each with varying density of trees would be cool. Thanks!

[@stephenmcdonald6311]

..brilliant work there ,

[@ravenstead]

Thank you! This was a very challenging series.

[@scottywan82]

It looks amazing! I've really enjoyed this series and can't wait to see more of your videos.

[@scottywan82]

If you're after scifi suggestions, I would love to see a similar video series with space ship tiles. I play Kill Team and Necromunda and I think your style of terrain would look fantastic for those games.

[@ravenstead]

That would be cool! Maybe a crashed ship with playable exterior and interior areas! Great suggestion!

[@josray2557]

Finally got around to watching this. Feels good to see the whole piece completed. It has been an epic journey :) I'm looking forward to seeing how you handle sci fi. That is a break neck change of subject.

[@ravenstead]

Yes it is a big change but I promise to keep the fantasy builds coming as well! Thank you for watching another video!

[@timothyschaible6025]

Spectacular ❤

[@ravenstead]

This series was exhausting but so satisfying! I'm working on writing an adventure that takes place on this terrain.

[@timothyschaible6025]

@@ravenstead Now that is exciting. Yet I have also enjoyed the sci fi builds as well, but mainly D&D, Mordheim and Warhammer here. As well as saving for some of your iron. Blessings on the day!

[@sketchi7472]

i cant wait to see whats next ive really loved this series

[@ravenstead]

Thank you for watching! This was so much fun to build!

[@metajock]

This has been a fantastic series, big thanks!!! And yes, I'ld love to see something Scifi, something neo-modern that could be used for Star Wars or Cyberpunk. Something very Bladerunner, please?

[@ravenstead]

I just watched bladerunner again for inspiration. The city build will get more run down and slum-like as we spiral out for the central tower.

[@OldZean]

Sad it's over but looking forward to what's next. I prefer fantasy over sci-fi but I'm here either way!

[@ravenstead]

I'm hoping to develop an additional style of scatter terrain that can work for both genres. I promise that I will keep building in both worlds!

[@bradcraig6676]

Great series! I really admire your painting method. Going forwards, I admit I was hoping for some more Strahd builds, how about Old Bonegrinder? But whatever it is I'll watch it.

[@ravenstead]

Old Bonegrinder is a great idea. That one is going in the schedule book! My group is only about halfway through Strahd so there will definitely need to be more Barovian builds!

[@reddogterrain]

FANTASTIC

[@ravenstead]

Thank you so much!

[@dragonslyer74]

Honestly, just stumbled across your videos. They're pretty amazing. Good work on this Hidden Valley said. I like it a whole lot. You're asking for suggestions for future bills. And if you've ever played a game called zona alpha, I think it would be really awesome to see you build a modular board for that game. It's a lot of fun. It's set in near future times where aliens leave a bunch of junk on earth and then they leave and we have to go investigate it, so weird stuff happens so if you want to look it up. It's called zona alpha to brush and game. It's really a lot of fun.

[@ravenstead]

"Zona Alfa: Salvage and Survival in the Exclusion Zone" looks really interesting, I like the vibe! I will definitely take a deeper dive into that genre! Thanks for watching!

[@steampunk8036]

Awesome build, bro! I really need to make some terrain like this. My idea for a future build for you would be necromunda. I sure do enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing. -Rick, USMC

[@ravenstead]

Thanks you Rick! I am getting ready to buy some Necromunda miniatures!

[@jayson_the_argonaut]

Hey David! I haven't chimed in in a while but you mentioned maybe SciFi? I would love to see your spin on some dystopia/post apocalypse stuff, maybe complete with some cannibal minis. Bunkers, metal sheds/forts, maybe some contraption to collect rain water, the possibilities are endless! Have a great one.

[@ravenstead]

Brilliant! I started another concept notebook, I have one for fantasy builds and another for sci fi and cyberpunk stuff. I love the variety in this hobby so I think will be making builds for a broad range of genres. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@MLiskindagay]

I’ve really enjoyed this series, would you consider doing something like a ruined fortress next?

[@ravenstead]

Are you thinking of a stone fortress or maybe something a bit more provincial like a palisade fort? Either way that one is going in the idea book for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@MLiskindagay]

@@ravenstead I was thinking of a stone fortress, though both could be fun to see

[@ravenstead]

Maybe a mix of both materials. perhaps damage to the stone walls could be patched with palisade.@@MLiskindagay

[@lukerazor1]

How about something post-apocalyptic? I bet the weathering/blending techniques could work well to grime up some buildings.

[@ravenstead]

I do have a Starfinder game I want to start. Maybe I can create a campaign around a colony planet that got nuked from orbit during a bigger skirmish! Gimme those ideas! I am also thinking about getting into Gaslands. Time to watch Mad Max again! Don't worry though, I will keep the same chill vibe going.

[@lukerazor1]

@@ravenstead Gaslands is absolutely fantastic game. I actually wrote one of the team builders for it :)

[@ravenstead]

@@lukerazor1 Thats so awesome! I used to build custom AFX cars so the kitbashing of matchbox cars is very appealing. There is so much cool stuff out there to play!

[@antonlundstrom9274]

I’m trying to get started with some terrain building for my DnD campaign. Would you mind sharing the dimension you use for things like: bricks and planks?

[@ravenstead]

It's such a fun hobby! The samer the bricks and planks are the more detailed your builds will appear. For stones I usually go with 1x2 cm at the largest. The planks I cut at random sizes but mostly no wider than 1cm by 3 or 4 mm thick. If you are texturing the planks deeply with a wire brush you may need a thicker piece of foam. Then there is the old stand by coffee stir stick but I mostly use foam. Good luck with your builds!

[@antonlundstrom9274]

@@ravenstead Thanks for the help. I’m gonna pick up some supplies this week and give it a go. In terms of acrylic paint should that be matt or shiny?

[@ravenstead]

@@antonlundstrom9274 I just get the cheap craft paint for the most part. I use minwax satin polyurethane spray as a final protective coat so that gives a little shine to the builds.
