This Modular Tabletop Miniature Terrain is Epic!

[@tested]

Johnny's hand-sculpted dragon castle in this video is available for 3D printing as part of his current 'Gloaming Swamps and Wilderness' campaign on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/printablescenery/the-gloaming-swamps/description

[@eldenringer6466]

These are so cool but they launched with real magnet and some paint issues. Have they fixed these two areas?

Amazing video Adam. I bought the Hagglethorn Hollow stl's and have used the watch tower, vegetable patches and lovers pool printed at 75% on an OO Gauge model railway. The pieces are fantastic. Good luck Johnny.

[@boredjerboa]

I love how Johnny talks about how he's put things together and created these things. There isn't an ounce of gate keeping. Seeing these 2 guys just excitedly enjoying and sharing all this is amazing

[@Nick-hm9rh]

you can tell that First of all hes enjoying it. all the financial stuff is second. how it should be

[@downtownnikka]

It’s refreshing to find artists and creators that’s don’t “gate keep” techniques. I’ve also realized that a vast majority of the DnD enthusiasts are extremely welcoming. I don’t personally embark on campaigns, but I happily make minis and landscapes for my close friends

[@JanetFayard]

Agreed! He's so talented, I want that entire table! It was also neat to realize that there are other people who sometimes get lost admiring the scenery of a video game as much, if not more so, than gameplay.

[@elliotthershey3376]

The first video adam did at weta about 3 and a half years ago was the video that got me into the hobby and then got me into dnd!! I’m so excited that this project is still going on and i can’t express my gratitude for how much i’m grateful for stumbling across the original video❤

[@graefx]

I adore Johnny, his enthusiasm is infectious. It's like a kid pulling things out of his toy box and showing you what he made at school all rolled together. The mastery he shows is just unmatched. Having both really characterful and organic looking sculpture but still being seamlessly modular without looking repetitious is supremely non-trivial. 11:54 Ive referenced a lot of Tested for techniques in my hobby modeling but Adam discovering the joy of table top game in real time is just the icing on the whole thing 16:25 I'm going to have to find those now.

[@filthiman]

I want to be friends with him so I can play all the war games and RPGs all the time

You know somethings made an impact on you when you remember fully the last time he covered this guys stuff.

[@Jelsick]

Back in the 80s as a teenager I created something like this out of HO scale train modeling landscape materials for my D&D miniatures, although not in this large scale. Seeing this brings it all back. So cool...

[@eclat4641]

Awesome!

[@jeanmalo7173]

I'm not a gamer of any type, but I would love to be the guy who sets up the gaming table using the elements that Johnny has created and then just let the players invent their own story/game!...Brilliant work!!!

[@emceedoctorb3022]

As a gamer I can tell you now that table would be a nightmare to play on. Yeah it looks stunning but wargaming tables need to be relatively flat to be able to get the models to actually stand up. You would spend half the time trying to your models to not fall over and this would be even worse for games that need the models to be ranked up like classic Warhammer or Kings of War or historical games like Hail Caesar or Napoleonics. It would work as a skirmish table but anything more than that it is completely impractical.

[@1gunsalute101]

@@emceedoctorb3022 Haven't you ever heard of magnetic movement trays? lol

[@emceedoctorb3022]

@@1gunsalute101 They would make it even worse. The terrain is just not flat enough.

I loved when things got real quiet and both of them were just meticulously and lovingly arranging moss and such...it was very peaceful to watch and still engaging. Overall such a fun video! And Johnny's work is just magnificent!

[@LOUDERthanU]

I dont play games like this but i totally appreciate the art, the expertise and the enthusiasm and enjoyment. Infectious!

[@yellowblanka6058]

If I were independently wealthy and had a regular tabletop gaming group I can see getting into warhammer etc. but it can get pretty expensive.

[@mistydawnmaxwell2420]

I'm too focused on Hoggle in the background to pay attention what they are saying LOL. Johnny, you are amazing!!!!!!

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

this was always my favorite part on Mr. Rogers, when he would get the buildings/toys out and line them up on the table :)

[@johnk5398]

Its a testament to what a great artist Johnny is, that myself and so many others in the comments who dont game watched the full video and found the pieces shown and explanations behind them to be super exciting and clever.

[@direshthevanayagam6413]

Absolutely amazing. Every time I see Johnny’s work I love it more and more. Clearly I’m not the only one.

[@spencernorby6075]

I would love to have a tiny camera on a stick that could be inserted into such a world and just walk it around. I would love to imagine the immersive fantasy life into such a walkthrough. Oh, please, O please, O please make a walkthrough camera vid like that. It would be so wondrous it could make me cry for the joy of it all.

*shakes head* every time i see stuff that johnny makes i wanna throw money at the screen and shout take my money. Every sculpt looks so beautiful, and it really makes me imagine the massive world each piece is part of. Such epic work i cant wait to see he comes up with next.

Def the best designed miniature buildings out there. I feel a lot of sculptors who make buildings for tabletop (3D STLs in particular) forget that buildings need character too. THESE buildings have character! Cant' wait till I get some myself.
