[@Notmadenough]

Random question. How thick is the foam core you used in this? Can’t seem to find said info anywhere.

[@michaels728]

I tried that and you have to sign up to be a member to get the PDF file. Even if you are donating a buck or $0 ad I dont feel like the need to join another site and have to memorize another password. YOu could also include the pdf file in your text. The best way is to determine your scale size ex. 25mm equals to 0.984252 inches and then round it to just 1 inch. Then determine if you want the 1 inch to equal to 5 or 6 feet. I choose to use the 1' = 5'Then using my Illustrator or CorelDraw program I created a bunch of octagons, squares and circles starting at the 1 inch and then kept increasing the size by double then went back and reduced them to get the smaller in between sizes.

[@itskassabitch]

The wikipedia article about hexagons shows an easy way of constructing an hexagon with a compass. If some one struggles with paper templates like me. ;)

[@turalmage]

@@michaels728 I agree, this guy spends all this money to make great video's. Good sound and picture which means good gear, not cheap. Why should I go through all the trouble of signing up and spending a dollar? I mean google has to save another password and a whole fricking dollar? I mean CorelDRAW standard is $300 so that's the way I'm going. I'll take his idea, use the instructions tips and tricks he shows me, pony up $300 for software and then not have to register with this channel. Good plan right Michael? idiot

My wife is not a gamer. But she saw me watching your videos, and offered out of the blue that maybe she could learn to paint my miniatures, or we do it together. So thanks for helping us find a way to enjoy this hobby together!

It's been a year since this post. Maybe on an anniversary you both try to build the first thing you built together. Could be fun and has that sentimental weight as well.

Maybe she’s into the guy making the video

[@codyinacoma]

That's so great. My wife is a bit of a nerd too, but nowhere near her husband's stats. And I'm into building miniatures for my 1\12 scale figures, and it's always so cool when I'm working and she offers suggestions, or critiques. Most of the time she's next to me playing 'Breath of The Wild' or 'Bloodborne' while I'm building in the creature shop. After leaving my X_Wife after a year because she was terrible and never supported what I did, for work or for fun. It's so amazing to have a partner show me support and stand behind me even through or nerdy endeavors. Like building our mini worlds. Good Luck to you and yours brother

So seriously I was one if those guys like “too much money, my Wife would never let me get a hot wire table let alone an exacting knife.” Well I got soooo inspired by the “Dollar Store Dragon” that I said screw it and went to Dollar Tree.... OMG I GOT EVERYTHING BUT A HOT GLUE GUN!!!! Foam, 3 different kinds of cutter tools, Tacky Glue, FREAKING MOD PODGE, and black paint!!!! I couldn’t believe it!!!! I am so psyched to build the crappiest farm house and destroy this toy to a miniature challenge and learn!!!! Thank you so much for inspiring crafters!!!

I just made a fountain last week haha. I put a magnet in the center of the pedestal so i could switch out the statue easily but have it "stick" nicely. Great video as always. Keep it up man!

[@CreamAle]

For folks that want to build a fountain, you can use a Bic pen without the ink inset, and use the point to punch out foam rounds to slice thin. Paint them gold, copper, silver. And glue them down in the fountain base prior to adding water. Low effort but its detail and realism.

[@mszoomy]

Nice job looks great! One thing, I do a lot of stuff with resin and alcohol inks are perfect for coloring resin. If you want alcohol inks on the cheap, but cheap magic markersvfrom the dollar store, put some high content rubbing alcohol in little bottles (70% or higher) then break open your cheap ass markers and put the ink soak cloth in your alcohol bottles. Sometimes there's a plastic covering on the cloth inside the marker, remove it or split it open whaala, alcohol inks

[@dreamwolf7302]

I did this in college, and it made the Art Professor sooo mad because i got better results painting 'aged' looks than she did with her 10-30$ per bottle stuff. I preferred using alcohol based inks when painting pewter figurines, i feel it just looks better.

[@lewisharris3400]

Soooo having watched your video, I spent yesterday and today building a fountain from individual bricks and painting it up all nice. I mixed up two syringes of pound shop resin with the teeniest tiniest smidgen of green acrylic paint, poured it... and the water is completely opaque and full of bubbles :(:( Oh well, at least I now have a cool looking toxic fountain to place in dungeons. Now I just need to find me an evil looking statue to go on the pedestal instead of the big, golden village-friendly cockerel that I had lined up!

[@travis8106]

I had the best idea to buy a hero miniature, paint it to look like stone and plop it in the center of the fountain. Really would make it pop

Absolutely. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of the simple things as we start to get to complex as we learn more.

[@shannonburkhart9564]

After watching hour video, I made an version with only half the octagon, painted the inside with Caribbean blue, then two coats of blue glow in the dark paint. Topped that off with the two part 5 minute epoxy and it turned out amazing. The glow from the water under a black light is out of this world. Keep on crafting

[@Daggerleep]

A tip for drawing hexagons if you dont have access to a printer; hexagons are the only polygon where the radius is the same length as the sides. So draw a circle to the size you want the hexagon, measure from the center point to the outside then draw consecutive lines of that size from circle edge to circle edge. Boom, Hexagon!

[@bushybeard4585]

I've seen that fountain floating around in several of your videos and always loved it, so cool to finally see a build video for it! Love it!

[@JordanGodleyPersonal]

To make the 5-minute epoxy flow better over the piece and out of the pot quicker, put the tubes in a warm place or warm water bath first. Treat it like an expensive resin in that sense. Also be aware - epoxy resin for cheap like that can yellow over time, but that may only be certain brands, so test that out first.

[@prz88]

I've never played D&D in my life, but I love these crafting videos. I am doing a fountain today, but I'm already in love with these smaller projects that you could do on a table.

Just built my first piece of Black Magic Craft Terrain. Two Dollars at the dollar store! Thanks for the tutorial! Love the vids!

[@Medic6666]

Made this just to see and it is that easy. I added a magnet to the middle so i could swap the stone center for any item and it would stay still. Great stuff.

[@karlashley8680]

An idea for if you don't want to have all those pieces cut out from the inside of the hexes, what you can do is cut your hex templates in half and tesselate them. Each hex half will 'stack' with another piece the same size as it, with just little triangle cutouts at the end of each one. You'd still need to the one big piece on the bottom to attach it to, but otherwise you'll save yourself a lot of foamcore offcuts. So instead of using almost a quarter of the big piece BMC used in this video, you could probably do it with only the equivalent of two full hexes worth of board.

[@SonsOfMalice]

I have absolutely no clue why youtube recommended that to me but it looks interesting.

[@Luphirasoul]

Thank you SO much for the confidence boost while painting and working on stone textures, I'm currently making my first tower and I'm on the painting stage and I've been nervous about the wash and dry brush stage but seeing how relaxed you are helped me feel a lot better.

I do crafting for 3 or 4 months now, so I am still a beginner. There is always something new to learn in your videos. In this video it was the usage of templates. Of course I saw that before, but somehow here it caught me. Usually I dont use templates but draw the shapes directly to my materials. In this video I learned the essential advantages of templates. I underestimated it before. I love your habbits, to go back to the roots sometimes. And I am sure also experts do always learn something from these tutorials. One question .. I used such an epoxy before to try it out for other purpose. What I noticed was, it cures within a few minutes, but it didnt completely dry and hardened in that time. It still took my finger prints when I touched it. It took like 24 hours to really harden completely. Did you have the same experience with the epoxy you used? Another question .. For sure you mentioned your template shop ever before?!? Somehow I noticed it for the first time. Thank you.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I've made templates for several projects related to videos in the past (boat, iron door, stacker battlements, prison walls). As for the epoxy. The stuff I use hardens in 5-10 min but is still tacky for an hour or so. It's going to be different from brand to brand.

[@jocelynnielsen9154]

I'm impressed with your demonstration of technique and explanation of how they work and why you would use one over the other. Thank you for a great video and channel!

fill the middle of the fountain with hot glue and give it a wash of blue to make water if done correctly then it should look somewhat transparent

[@KommieCid]

27:40 I work in the aerospace industry, which means almost nothing outside of obsure epoxy and paint facts. But as far as I remmeber from my introduction to resins, you can add in a thinning agent like isopropyl alcohol, or the dollarstore equivalent without too much kerfuffle, as long as it doesn't mess with your cure/reaction times. Of course, I wouldn't assume anything would work without first doing a test or three (my favourite part of the job- redundancy) but as long as the thinner flashes off between the mix and about mid cure, AND you're not using a vacuum pump to facilitate it, you're golden!

Great little project. One tip for using the epoxy for the water effect, it can be thinned out by mixing in some isopropyl alcohol. Simply add enough to make the epoxy as thin as you want it. It will flow much easier and will dry just as quickly.

That should give me a lot of uses." :D

I have really been enjoying your tutorials. I am just getting into terrain building and I've been jumping around info videos. But I think yours are the most comprehensive and honestly look the easiest to do while still looking awesome. I am sure you get a million requests so feel free to disreguard. But I am a huge sci fi fan and one of the reasons I'm building is to envision some of the fantastical places in that genre. One thing I haven't seen you do yet is an orb-like building. In both fantasy and sci fi these seem to be a thing. You've done round towers, but what about a building either a dome or a ball? It would be a challenge.

in order to thin the epoxy i guess you can cut the red part of the syringe into 2 parts and put more resin and less hardener, it will be thinner and it will cure slower, which i guess will be better for pouring

I'm a DM, and have been for 15+ years for D&D, but the last few years, all of my games have been online via things like Roll20.

[@michaels728]

I love the great work you did, awesome job. Just adds to my collection of ideas to do sometime for a future upcoming project. When doing something like this you definitely need to use the epoxy resin. Recently I was going thru some boxed up books in storage and found some of my old notes on old diorama techniques I had done when making some back in the early 80s. Back then I lived in a small town and was limited on what I could get or use to build my dioramas. Unless we drove to the nearest bigger town that had a Walmart, or hobby craft store or something you were limited on what you could get if they even carried it in the store. And that's even if they carried the EZ Water resin that came in these little cubes which you had to melt down then let it cool off a bit before you could pour it on your landscape to make water without it burning the plaster or landscape material. And back then unless you were a licensed contractor you couldn't get the bartop lacquer ie, epoxy resin at all at the local hardware store if they even carried it. So back then we had to come up with other techniques to make our dioramas. Unfortunately I no longer have it for it broke and got damaged when we moved 550 miles from Colorado to Las Vegas, NV in 1988. But I wrote down in an old notebook some of the techniques I used when I did research in the 80s before I built my dioramas and what I did when I made some of my things. And one was how to make a stream for my diorama thru a D&D town. It was difficult to realistically produce the effect of running water back then. I used a plaster compound and cellulose sculpting compound clay and formed the waves and ripples while the clay was wet. Then coated it with the plaster using a brush. After it dried, I painted the river with a gloss water base and after that I added a shiny gloss lacquer that I brushed on, which gave the water a shiny, rippling effect. Which back then I didn't have any resin to use to make my water. So I used what was available in my area I could get. Just wish I had a picture of the diorama to show what it looked like. Now since Ive gotten used to making all my water features with resins over the last 25 yrs. And then recently finding my old notes on diorama building that I kept notes on. Im now tempted to go back and using my old notes make a couple dioramas and see just how good it turns out.

How've you been going?

[@seangere9698]

Another way to use one template is to glue it to thick card stock and at each point cut to the center most hexagon following the points inward. Then all you have to do is fold on each ring of the hexagon. Then you don't have a bunch of different pieces taking up a lot of room or have to keep printing out more when you need a new template.

I did this, using a cheap Princess Leia from one of the sequel movies that was like $2.50 at a local discount store. She’s perfect at works for both medieval fantasy and futuristic sci-fi

[@AzraelThanatos]

Another cheap option for water effects in the gloss polyeurethane. Give it a heavy coat over the full area you want the water look to be in and then let it dry, then you can glop it on rather thick in a few layers to fill it in. Also, one thing you can do to both add some interesting details and strengthen the piece would be to take pins and put them in the corners, basic, cheap push pins can work, adding some detail with their plastic end or use some slightly longer pins and use them to mount interesting beads there.

[@ystike56]

Hey Jeremy. If you have a ruler and a compass you can draw perfect hexagons quite easily: Just draw a circle of any radius with the compass. Then, without changing der radius, draw another circle with its center anywhere on the circumference of the first circle. (The two intersections and the center of the second circle already constitute 3 of the 6 corners of the hexagon.) Then simply draw 2 more circles with their centers located at the 2 intersections of circle 1 and circle 2. (This will produce 2 more corners of the hexagon.) To get the last corner just do the same thing again at any one of corners 4 or 5. Finally, use the ruler to connect all 6 corners and you have your perfect hexagon. Note that you won't have to measure any angles at all. Just keep the radii of all circles the same and you will be fine. All the best. :)

Could you color the inside of the well to ultimately appear as the water's color? Do you think the epoxy might be made to appear flowing from the statue or central piece? Do you think I just need to be satisfied with your perfectly serviceable build as it is and shut up? 😊

[@jezeski2011]

Depending on your skill-level and tools, anything is possible. You wouldn't be able to make the water flow just by letting it sit, because it will run down. You could, however, 'mold' an oversize shape of the flowing or spouting water with epoxy. Once it is 100% set, remove the 'mold' and then shape the hardened epoxy, kind of like sculpting. If you have a well ventilated area, you could (while wearing PPE like dust mask and eye protection) try using a rotary tool to really shape it to your liking. Then glue the finished 'water flow' into place.

First video of yours I've seen, I'm trying to craft a set for the first time (final boss area for my first big campaign). I'm very happy I've found this because I have a good idea of how to make it now!

Hello Mr. Craft could you please make some water weird/elemental to compliment the fountain. Maybe the traditional snake kind that would actually fit into the fountain with some overlap so it looks like it is emanating from the fountain but modular enough to be used as a separate piece? I love the translucent models but I've had trouble making stuff like DIY Jellies, water elemental, and ghosts.

This really takes me back to my early crafting days! For future video ideas, how about medieval fantasy buildings in styles outside of the usual western European? Buildings from the fantasy Mediterranean, or eastern europe, or Asia? Could be a chance to explore different techniques for the different architectural styles and materials.

You can find Loctite two part epoxy syringes at any big box store in the US. The hardware section will have an aisle for tapes and adhesives. It's less than three dollars.

I tried looking 4 a Disney Princess like you said at Dollar Tree but no one carries them anymore and the only Disney Princess I found were the expensive $15-20 dollar Disney Princesses from Hallmark that are Christmas ornaments. But recently while at a local thrift store I did find for a buck a wedding cake topper of a bride and groom. But the head of the bride was broken off naturally as if it had fallen off one of the hanging pegs on the wall, for it was still inside the plastic bag. I thought that would be perfect because over time with age statues arms and heads do eventually fall off. So Im going to put the head in the water of my fountain to show that it fell in it. I might even use the method I mentioned in my last post I did yrs ago for one of my old dioramas about using the clay, plaster and gloss paint to make my water effect and paint the water look then seal it with gloss varnish but not before I place the head on top of the water before I pour my epoxy or gloss varnish into it for the water effect..

I've recently had a lot of your videos pop up and I have really enjoyed watching! I'm not a gamer? not even sure if that's what one would call it, but I do play around with miniatures and the concept is the same. I loved your fountain! I've been planning on one being in a castle tower, and I will say yours is probably way better than mine. Thank you for the info and inspiration!
