One thing that I've done is abandon the aluminum ball for texturing. I've always found it a waste as it smooths out very quickly and you have to keep making more. So I took a dowel and wrapped it in super sculpey clay and then it hit with rocks, the last ever foil ball, scissors, what-have-you to give it that really rough texture. After baking it hard I now have a permanent, long lasting rock texture roller. I also did one on a wooden ball so I had one I could roll around in random directions. Both work a treat.

Awesome work! Love how it came together. To answer your questions, for brick work, pen or pencil all the way, don't have the patience to go brick by brick. Still do individual shingles though. For old rust, I prefer not to use metallics at all and apply a range of orange and brown shades with a sponge to give it a rougher texture.

Very nice result from a simple but powerful idea.I really like the way you solve the seam problem. For bricks I have tried drawing them (some XPS foams are better for doing it than others), texture rolls, and cutting and gluing individual bricks. I think that each way has its own uses, and looks better for specific things. For rusted metal I simply use a base of dark brown, like Vallejo's Charred Brown or similar, some bits of orange for the rust, and a wash. Question: Have you protected the staircase foam with something extra, to avoid potential deterioration from the bumping dice?
@Nat1videos
@Nat1videos 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! That sounds like an effective method for rust for sure. You know what, that was a slight oversight I think... I didn't add anything extra to protect the stairs. I think I will go back and paint in some matt varnish now you have mentioned it! Thanks for pointing it out ;)

Hi, I follow your TikTok and saw the 40k thank you video the other day, so I did as you bid and came over here to watch and subscribe here. I've been confused about where you are based, I thought it was the UK then the U.S. as you seem to have an ample supply of XPS foam (as commented on a previous TikTok) But it's all starting to make sense now. As for the tower, I made a Dice Tower based on Alfred's Tower down in Dorset/Somerset a couple of years back, which Is one of my best builds/videos, I used the thin radiator foil-coated foam for the walls and drew the bricks with a pencil. I like the spiral staircase that's a nice touch! As for the rust question, I have bought the citadel and other paints but ended up just using acrylic paints, dry brushed in dabs and using a myriad of reds/browns/oranges and yellows it seems cheaper than the little pots named something weird (Elvan Flesh is just Raw Sienna etc). Anyway enough rambling, well done and see you again soon! Nic at London Creative!

Nice job. I've did something very similar back in the day and had one issue initially. How are K4 (and K8/k10 I think) rolling in yours? I had to slant the steps quite steeply to prevent them from stoping mid way. So inside is more of spiral slope than spiral staircase.

Looks awesome. Couple of questions: As the landing area is not completely flat do you have any ambiguous dice readings? (With your 20s at the end, I thought, perhaps from the camera angle that one of the 20s was slightly off.) Do the dice ever bounce over the low walls or might they if you weren't using metal dice?
@Nat1videos
@Nat1videos 2 жыл бұрын
No, never get ambiguous rolls... the number pointing up is the one you read and it’s not that uneven really. If anything it adds to the randomness of a dice roll, could never repeat the same roll twice. Also, no problem with bouncing at all... have used plastic and resin dice in it also . By the time they get to that point most of the energy has dispersed. Thanks for the comment !

Think it would've been cool would be to add motion sensors on the inside of the tower that cause the lights to go on when dice are falling through so it looks like there's someone "walking" down the steps. Might need to modify the tower to make the motion sensors not just go on / off instantly - e.g. taller tower, bigger windows, and a more gradual slope or just having timed delays on activation / deactivation. In my head it seems like it would be cool to have a kind of "stoplight" (position-wise, not color-wise) transition. Another idea would be to add lights on the inside / outside of the tower door - think there's an opportunity for some cool flickering torch effects in general (both in / outside of the tower). Overall though great work!

I want to make a similar dice tower like the big one in Gerard's video, when he introduced the Stairway tool. Your Dice Tower is brilliant. It looks really like an old ruin. It would be awesome if a sensor at the staies could notice the rolling dices and than the lights are lit, like woke up inhabitants... :D Anyways: Good job, I like it!

Hi sorry for the delay in response! So the name of the foam is XPS foam. Sometimes it is easier to search for underfloor insulation foam, because that is made of XPS. The material is not very flexible, you can bend it a little though using the corner of a table like I show in the video :)

I mean the LEDs wired on a parallel circuit is the equivalent of rocket science to my addled brain and the geometry involved in creating a spiral staircase jig on the fly is currently beyond me. For rust I like to actually create rust. Iron oxide powder added to black paint and then an acid type solution to activate chemical rusting process. You can get premixed fancy versions but there's recipes online for both. It's not practical for all projects but you can't beat actual rust to make something rusty.

This looks amazing! I just finished my very first build which I made as a gift, and I’m wondering if I need to put a varnish on the tower itself? You seem to only have put it on the grass if I’m not mistaken, thanks :)

You can use a clear coat, or a matt varnish spray and it will strengthen it for sure... You might get a very slight change in colour though

If you want boards and stones to have organic smooth and weathered look you can wipe it lightly with acetone. Im not sure if it will work with PIR foam tho but works like a charm with PVC panels.

To answer you questions: Yes. I have made a dice tower before. It was more of a dice keep; it was square. The main tower was made out of cardboard. I like laying individual bricks for most things but it really depends on what look you are going for.

That sounds like a cool doc tower! Yeah individual bricks work great too, you get a lot of depth that way

I think I would have used 12mm foam sheets and cut single step pieces for a more even finish on the spiral stairs and align them with a thumb tack or nail through the bottom of the can and coctail sticks to extend it as needed while gluing the stairs at the center and a line along each step edge. For the rest of the tower I'd probably do the same

Another awesome build! My dive tower is a prefab d&d one from lootbox and honestly, it's too small. d6 is a bit janky and d20 is just impossible. This is definitely something I wanna do in the near future! Thanks for the ideas; oft to weathertop now 😋

Stunning! And so sweet that you christened the tower with that lucky roll 😀 What was the baking soda for at the gate? Your build is way, way beyond me, but I started watching diy KZbins because I want to make a dice tower for a new board game I've ordered from Kickstarter called Botany. It should be more like a Victorian gazebo or part of a conservatory. (If that sparks your interest, I'd love to see what kind of next-level genius build you could make of that idea!)

Baking soda does two things: 1. Adds a bit of rusted metal “texture”. 2. (And most importantly) It causes the super glue to set really fast so you’re not sitting there holding two pieces together for five minutes. 😅
