Now if only you could finish the paint on those tattoos. 😜 looks great awesome liquid gold.

[@kelliepreston3103]

Really loved this video AWESOME job

[@spoonerismstuff]

After watching the ad in the middle of the build, it honestly confused me how well done it was. Not many people are going to appreciate and ad in their video, let alone admire it, but the editing cannot be ignored. An easy slide into the sponsor with the build itself, by using the mini in the sponsor. On the right, there is info about the sponsorship and it scrolls at a great pace to give enough visual info but still manages to not take up too much time for each segment. On the left is a real-time video of you working, which might just seem like a clip of the overall video, but is so much more. The steady pace of the info slide fits perfectly with the steady time he is taking with the build might be what comes to mind when thinking about for a few moments, but the fact that it isn’t edited or sped up doesn’t draw out any attention to itself. It gives the ad more priority while still satisfying the building aspect of the video. And it works even better when it fades into a small video highlighting the minis because it’s still holding on to the main build by using a mini that was in the build in the first place. Not to mention his voice fits perfectly with the sponsorship and outlining key elements of the new/topical project that alines even better with the build. It’s so well mixed, the editing is top notch, y’all are sleeping 100%

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I am going to try my hand in making a one shot around your fountain idea. Love the gold spewing snake. Will send it to you to share with your community if you want too.

Hey history teacher kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGfJdqure5h0b6c Let me know what you think on there

[@Kraleck]

This project came out incredible! The so-called "discoloration" in the gold paint job, thematically, could just be a spot where the surface gold has started to cool and/or something has fallen in. From what I've experienced, molten metal has all kinds of swirls where the temperature is slightly different, from impurities falling in, etc.

[@Glaswalker1001]

But molten gold glows yellow to white.

[@smolderbreath3238]

Also it's in a jungle setting so having weird murky water pools on top of the cooled gold would also make sense.

[@elizabethmcglothlin5406]

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these tutorials. I am not a gamer, but a 65 year-old female miniaturist, in 1/12 scale. (Yes, dollhouses, though not the usual kind.) But the techniques are very adaptable. It was your video on tiles that inspired me to attempt cobbles for a Tudor Blacksmith's forge I'm working on. Thank you!

[@Max-rq3et]

im interested in this scale, do you have anywhere where I could see some of your work?

[@SherlockRhodes]

It’s hobby overlap and the best kind

[@elizabethmcglothlin5406]

I think the liquid gold turned out pretty good.

[@TheExaltedCasual]

This would obviously look amazing on any lizardmen themed table too! Super cool project. Also, a thought. You could make the snake on it an NPC that is using an illusion to make it's tail look like a pool of gold in an attempt to lure would be looters into their doom. Obviously would need more fleshing out but just a thought. Thanks for another great video.

[@nekrataali]

This confirms it: Jeremy now has to collect and build a 3,000 point Lizardman Army for 6th. Edition Warhammer Fantasy.

[@samprastherabbit]

That'd be amazing for a wargaming table- I can imagine it covered in Skinks and Saurus warriors for Age of Sigmar.

[@Capng123]

This is ideal for Frostrgave's sister game "Ghost Archipelago", so you might want to check that out. Basically the same rules, just in a mystical jungle/island setting.

[@JoeLittle]

Came to the comments to mention the exact same thing. Instead, I'll like your comment instead!

[@JKF020784]

Same comment regarding Ghost Archipelago once I noticed Frostgrave books in background and heard Jeremy say I don't play games where this would work...

[@polrua]

Ghost Archipelago was my first thought, too.

[@kathytiedje4767]

Thanks for always including an extensive list of materials in your videos. You have no idea how many people keep key materials and techniques a secret.😁❤️

[@crossleyrob]

Nearly 200 episodes and still making amazing crafts. Thanks for keeping us inspired!

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I have one simple rule for fantasy painting/terrain building: It's FANTASY, so it's allowed. A pool of spewing gold is an awesome idea, and now I have yet another inspiring idea for my growing Snake Men from Frostgrave force to have in their terrain collection :-D Thanks for such a fantastic idea and tutorial.

[@TheLordcyrus]

I know you use to talk about frostgrave. Have you seen frostgrave ghost archipelago? This would be sweet as a set piece in that game.

[@bryal7811]

13:05 as someone with a project that's "still drying" from a year ago, yeah this gave me a heart attack.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Lol.

[@LexDec89]

At 11:40 you pour on watered down mod podge, if you give it a quick spray of watered down alcohol first (I have a bottle of 70% isopropanol mixed with water), the watered down mod podge/pva soaks right through instead of pooling on top. Gives a super solid result once dry and gives less of a mess while pouring. Beautiful build as always!

[@michaelsorensen7567]

"I also realized something far more important: it doesn't freaking matter, cause it's COOL!" Words to live by

[@kellanr1941]

During these past few weeks you and your videos have grown and improved so much. Every project you do gets better and better. Keep up the good work.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

That tentacled tree figure reminds of a Vincent Price movie I saw back in the 1980's and I cannot remember the title, but he was raising a blood-feeding tree and sacrificing people to feed it.

[@DavidBrawley]

This is excellent, and I hope we'll be seeing more jungle terrain!

[@EclecticMystic]

In the campaign world I'm working on, magic is used like technology in a ww2-type conflict. And the best fuel is a liquified version of gold, rather than oil. Gold is a physics form of magic after all, that's why you need all those gold pieces to craft magic items. A fountain or derrick with liquid gold is absolutely perfect for that, great vid!

[@Midnight_BRAZIL]

I really love jungle terrains! Hey moss and little plants will grow specially between the tiles, stones, bricks, so you might want to add some tea leaves on the wall as well, but it's only an idea and I totally enjoyed watching this video, it looks awesome! Those colors on the snake are great.

[@giulius7176]

When decorating the base...Try wetting the sand and other ground scatter with Isopropal Alcohol before the glue. It will help the glue soak in instead of beading up on top.....Love watching your builds!

[@brianartillery]

In the 1975 movie 'Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze', there is a pool of gold in the South American jungle. It's a pretty cool idea. Your model is excellent. Maybe it could be used with some 'Pulp' figures.

[@bkmaxfield5113]

Wow. I remember how exciting it was when the original pre-printed DM screen came out. It was pretty and printed instead of hand written and had a lovely Dragon on the front.

[@erinweatherly6539]

Glad I came across this video. I’ve been intimidated by going airbrush but you make a great point. Terrain building is a great “learn to use “ for airbrushing.

[@glennsmith2762]

I love this build, it looks fantastic. it is a great combination of d&d and old jungle movies. Thank you.

[@gingerfreakstudio6362]

Love it! The gold is actually looking better this way rather than clean and perfectly applied. It adds some randomness.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

This came out looking epic! I love how the gold came out. It looks so real.

[@ruthiecoltrane6640]

Oh this is sooo good...the liquid gold looks great, I think the “dirty water”could add to game play

[@benward5732]

I had to pinch myself when I saw the title of this video.. Epic Jungle Scatter Terrain - I have spent much of my 2 months in Lock-Down building Jungle terrain pieces for my Games Club. 100 palm trees and unnumbered amounts of plastic "Fish Tank" flora later I am nearly done, but I need to pass them on now to the Airbrush Guru at our club for that final step to unify them all and tone down the plastic green of the plants. Your piece looks fantastic I hope mine will look as good in the cold light of non-covid day - whenever that maybe :D

[@Bambammetje]

That snake is awesome, don't know about that hand/ arm though. Really cool build!

[@Andyscrap]

I'm really impressed and inspired. Will absolutely use this gold and almost neon green colors in my terrain. Thanks for sharing.

[@chriswittrock2231]

I love the overall affect -- this is a great piece of terrain!

[@tobywan19]

Nice video! I like the fact you built around a piece for no other reason than you liked it. Great work, I've recently refurbished my air compressor to use the old airbrush for some scenery.

[@jameslarkin276]

Very cool. I completely agree on the fake plant things and that tip made them look great on camera so maybe worth a second look. Thank you!

[@OldManFerdiad]

This is such a great build. I can just see it in a crumbling temple complex in the midst of a jungle. That green paint job is spot on, you can almost smell the slimy moss.

[@westcoastgeeks7294]

I love the detail you put in all your projects.

[@tommyjones7096]

You can find really wild cheap plastic foliage in the pets section of big box stores among the aquarium supplies. Some are already wildly colored and make for good alien plants in sci-fi settings, but you can paint them for a more "natural" look.

[@VOID-GRIMM_Sinn]

I loved the vibrant green plants. Wish to see more soon

Jeremy, another amazing build! Also, thank you for showcasing the Kickstarter, I absolutely love it and will be backing it!

[@MAMCCO]

I adore this. It’s a perfect example of gamers creativity. Find something that speaks to you and make it work.

[@MyklCarlton]

I can see Indiana Jones doing something there! I guess an open jungle area would be expected to experience regular downpours, so the water fx adds some verisimilitude. Love the colour palette, fits nicely with a jungle theme and contrasts nicely with the gold. Well done Sir!

[@jamesc.7988]

The snake model was okay but you Jeremy, you elevated it to a whole new level of cool.

[@samprastherabbit]

That was amazing, dude! Mind blowing how good it came out! Vallejo water texture is a tricky beast to work with so it came out well!

[@gazzydoesntknow]

Looks amazing dude. Wonderful work, so great. Bali stone masons and woodcarvers are so inspiring. Lost hours watching them work over the years.

[@SkeeterPondRC]

Love this! It looks like it is metallic gold flowing into a forest pool. The ‘dirty water’ look gives it a nice pop like the gold is sinking in the pool. I know it wasnt the look you were going for but I think it looks amazing.

[@DafterThings]

I think it looks great. What I enjoy most about the builds is how many different options and techniques used as well as the mistakes. I always get nervous when making my sets that I'll mess something up that is 'good' (for me) by trying to make it better.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

There is no bigger mistake that stopping yourself from building because you are scared to screw up.

[@DafterThings]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial True but with limited time available there is also 'Better done than perfect but unfinished' 😀 BTW : I'm not model building just building sets for stop motions. I use people, like yourself, to get some tips on making them a bit better than the norm.... so thanks for everything you share.

[@anonhannn]

Super awesome video, Jeremy! Tons of good material to use in other projects as well.

[@creatrixcorvusarts876]

I immediately thought that you could have two of these fountains, but have one be just water...it could be used in more applications, or just as background....but the liquid gold one could be brought out by using a ritual when the players might need it....? This came out so cool!

[@adambennett3665]

Thank you so much! All of your videos have inspired me to add to our game..between your page and Bards Craft I've fallen into the dark hole...wish I could add pictures really would like your opinion on some larger scale scene based dioramas I built Anyways thank you, as I'm sure you know life is hard and when my father passed away 2 years ago, I turned to D&D and crafting.

[@Reinier020]

A misterious expedition to the heart of the jungle to find gold you say?! Awesome idea! for some more inspiration for back stories you could look up the stories about Eldorado, men going into the Amazone jungle in search of gold really happened a lot during the 15th till 19th century.

[@jmmartin7766]

I'm doing an "armored fighter vs dragon" diorama that will be contained within a fake, 9 1/8" × 13 1/2" "hollowed out spell-book" once it's all done. I know I'm not re-inventing the wheel, but it's been a few years since I've taken on this size of a project-- so, I'm a bit "shaky" on getting started again. Been watching a good portion of your videos since I discovered them, and it's helped a LOT... I love your "down and dirty" style that never the less nets incredible results... I had a best friend in high school (sadly passed on now) who use to work like that, and I managed to learn a lot from him-- and build my own style off of that... With him no longer around, I've been looking all over for a concept I can adapt/use as a template for my own ideas, and to "get my feet wet" again... And I think your badass "Snake Temple" is perfect... Thanks for sharing your art with us. You're helping people in more ways than you know...

[@patrickmchugh948]

Looks awesome. Been thinking about the airbrush especially for terrain.

[@Phacider2]

This is great. I am getting ready to write a portion of a home brew that is going to be taking place in a jungle area, and this has given me some ideas on how the entrance of the dungeon is to look like. I think I will make it that of a large snake head where they have to go through the mouth.... think Skeletor's Snake Mountain.

[@TortueBulle]

Thanks for this video! Jungles and swamps are my favs! Good job!

I'd be excited too if i found a monster spewing macaroni cheese sauce. That stuff is delicious!

[@mr.themapman3462]

Hey Jeremy, I've been watching your videos for about a year but haven't really commented. I want to thank you for making great videos, but also for much more than that. I'm a complete amateur to crafting. I have no background in art or design. Your videos have helped me to become much more confident in my abilities. While you have given my tons of awesome ideas, the biggest takeaway I've had is that it's alright to mess up. Surfing through Reddit and other places people can be extremely negative or quick to jump to reasons why a paint job or craft is subpar. I'm pretty sensitive to that kind of criticism, especially since I already know my art is pretty beginner-level. Seeing you mess up has been SO helpful to me. I know it sounds weird, but your willingness to admit a mistake without getting down on yourself or hiding it really encourages me to work through my mistakes rather than scrapping them immediately. Beyond that, your "good enough" attitude to crafting has really helped me to calm down and be more accepting. My painting or creating doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be good enough. The best creators are not always the best teachers, but you manage to be an amazing creator and a great teacher. Your humility and sense of fun is what inspired me to start crafting more than any video of an impressive painting ever could. I know it's random to bring up in this video, but I wanted to say it and your statement about painting to impress the average person brought up some of these thoughts and I figured that if I mentioned it on a more recent video it would be less random. Long story short: thank you.

[@paulnauwelaerts6905]

This is exactly what i need in my life right now! I've stumbled upon a really nice seraphon/lizardmen army and i love to build terrain. So this is right op my alley.

[@Bluecho4]

The liquid gold effect might work well for a foundry. Maybe stick some cranes suspending great iron pots, or spouts in the walls leaking the molten gold into a vat. Doubles as an environmental hazard. Add some object source lighting, since molten metal is going to glow, probably. I could see something like that in a dwarven fortress or forgeworld location in Warhammer 40K.

[@jesseadams7407]

That looks awesome and I really love that idea for the golden pool I will definitely use yours into consideration when I make mine I’m so excited!

If you still aren't happy with the gold, you might want to consider trying Golden Fluid Acrylic Paint 1 Quinacridone Nickel AZO Gold. I don't know if it can be thinned enough for air brushing, but I've used it for art projects and applied it with a brush. It dries very even without brush strokes. I really liked this project. Quite imaginative!
