That new shingle technique is a life saver! The fear of attempting more shingled roof builds is real.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I'm pretty stoked about that too! It was like a lightbulb going on

[@jrf2010ification]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Shingles should be offset from layer/level to layer/level much like how you did the bricks. Putting them in a straight column would make them far less efficient at keeping out wind and rain. Obviously this is the real world reason but people may find the shingles odd looking on the model because of it. With doing them this way it's easy enough to just shift each layer/level half a shingle to the side though. Just something to keep in mind ! Model looks great either way !!

[@skazdal]

If I were you, I'd shake my foam bricks in a box with a few rocks of metal parts to dull the angles and imprint some texture to it, that's 1000% faster than doing anything to every single brick one by one.

Exquisite terrain build. I’m going to try it for my Medieval gaming. These days, when so many terrain channels are seemingly running out of ideas (or reducing their material to 10 minutes or less of rushed video, or turning their back on scratchbuilds and simply assembling kits and 3D pieces), it is incredibly refreshing to see someone “hold the line” and making meaningful material, remaining true to their origins. Keep on doing what you’re doing, Eric.

To make a better door masonry wise. Do a solider course above the door, stand the bricks up length wise. That’s how it’s done in masonry. Can also do it above windows and stack bond along the sides of the doors and windiws

[@stevenwhite7763]

You so need an accurate hot wire foam cutter. When using detail rollers or stamps, the side that was against the wire will take a deeper impression. Great work.

[@wookiejesusofnazarethkashy1940]

I like how we can achieve very similar weathering effects on our roofs, but we use completely different methods to do it. I find basing the shingles in black and then using a thin watery wine red on top achieves a great look. I then dry brush with pewter gray, no washes needed unless you want to add some green for moss. Great build!!

[@darklros]

A neat trick to get cheap (if not free) isolation foam is to lurk around construction sites and ask if they have some excess they want to get rid of ^^ I gathered a reasonnable (2 or 3 kilos) amount for just a bit of my time :)

[@forestcityterrain]

Nice video. Im not sure why so many people have trouble with hot glue gun whisps. Doesnt matter if you put a small dab or a lot, when you pull away do it quickly and move the end of the gun in a fast clockwise motion. it will kinda wrap the whisp around the end of the gun nozzle and you will never have whisps.

[@deende79]

when you do shingles on roof like you did on 23:25 move each 2nd row 1/2 of shingle side way and that way looks more realistic. Also there is always last cover what you didnt make on that lower roof. Also you can try using half of plastic straw for last shingles on can also help you .

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! i love it!!!!!

[@codelicious6590]

[@michaelshort1411]

When you did the brick rubble, instead of doing it all at once. You still couldve used the Ilenes tacky glue in sections instead of the whole area. You shouldve started off at the bottom spreading out the glue the pile on the brick foam. Let it set up and dry, and turn it over to allow those that didnt stick to the glue. Then repeat the process again for each section working your way up to the top. Also instead of cutting out all those bricks to layer them around the perimeter, to save time. I wouldve used a pen to mark in my brick lines and textured the foam and save yourself some time and materials. Other than that I love it and it looks cool.

[@lovemysi07]

[@johnphilippatos]

4:45. While you really want a sharp blade for any project, as a dull one can ruin everything or get you to befriend a bandage, a blade that is out of the knife all the way, is equally or even more dangerous. I've been selling and using these blades for 30 years now and not the Stanley crap, but the japanese razor sharp ones, Olfa, Muratec-KDS and Tajima and I got to tell you that even the strongest 25mm ones, pose a great threat to your fingers once they are all the way out. If you really need to make a deep cut, try using a sharped kitchen knife like Lucas from Bard's Craft does. Stay Safe and thanks for the videos.

[@OreoPriest]

Always glad to see one of your videos pop up in my notifications!

[@Craftlngo]

you can sharpen the blades of craft knifes with a sharping stone. So you don't have to change them that often

[@wpramsden]

Hey Eric, love the content keep it up. Have you thought of using some rocks to add more detail to the bricks? Just throw them in a container with together and shake them for a bit, I'm pretty happy with the results for how easy it is.

Great work Eric. Another great tutorial mate.

[@cliffcampbell8827]

I was thinking, instead of making each individual brick, you could always carve the brick lines into any area that has a uniform layout (the structure areas that haven't been collapsed/destroyed). For the loose bricks in a pile, maybe some broken ones and some charring/blast marks if the collapse was caused by a weapon that launched hot and explosive projectiles. If it wasn't destroyed by an attack then skip it. As for making individual bricks, maybe a mold or some kind of pattern that can be pressed down into the building medium to separate the medium into individual bricks.
