Video

Awesome I love these videos! They make me motivated to tackle my pile too.

This is very timely for me - I was just sorting through my bin of minis this week, deciding which are in a paintable state and which have flashing that needs to be scraped off (and their primer stripped as a result). One of the minis in the To Paint Pile is... a gelatinous cube. :)

How'd you make the cube? It looks kinda like hot glue drizzled over a plastic cube? That's really clever! (Also haha, it ate your mini.) I understand the need to go through a backlog! I'm kinda doing it now with my yarn. Sorta. Working through it aaaaand picking up a nice skein here and there. *cough* I'm human.

Thank you. Seriously, thank you. I feel such guilt about the unfinished and half started pile I have. We all need to feel less guilt and do those little wins 😊😊😊

What a wholesome start to my Wednesday. Perhaps I’ll even pick up a paintbrush after work and finish one of my own projects

The gelatinous cube looks awesome The corrugated paper for the roof looks great. That corrugated paper will also make great columns I think.✌️

Just saw the doll house at a local Goodwill and remembered your craft. Great work and inspiration.

What a fantastic set, and what a fantastic result! I don't even play in-person games now, but this video is tempting me to get a dungeon set... It just looks so cool!

I love this kit. I just finished painting also and then I bought another on too.

Great paint scheme, it looked superb. But the terrain set itself is kind of meh, and there's nothing particularly mine-like or dwarven about it. By the time you clip it all out and clean it up, you could almost build the equivalent terrain yourself for next to nothing in cost.

Beautifully painted ❤😊❤ That oil wash made a huge difference!

Nice work always look forward to one of your videos ✌️

That is a mammoth undertaking and it looks super cool! The idea of priming in your main colour first is pretty clever; knowing me I'd jump in without that foresight. What kind of podcasts do you listen to while doing something as laborious as nipping tiny bits of excess plastic off of more plastic?

What brand do you recommend looking into instead for small humanoids?

I love how you go over the stats and back story of the minis you paint. Thanks so much for this awesome content!

Ahahaha, holy moly this thing is terrifying. It's smart and deadly? welp I'll be over here in the fetal position.

Woohoo, Balor! I was just rewatching your mystery box video last night, so this is extra timely. Every video you make is better than the last! He looks so good, and I also appreciate the monster history lesson (both in-game and out of game). I love when huge, physically threatening creatures are also highly intelligent.

Excellent work 💪

Your red skin is really inspiring and impressive, you certainly nailed the look of the Balor from the 5th and 4th E D&D books. Is the whip made of the clear spell effect material? I like how it turned out, hmmm I gonna have to add this one to the I have to buy for the grey horde list 😄 Keep on creating great things, always looking forward to your content

I like that paint scheme for the gold dragon. This is a really nice haul for sure.

What a fun haul! 😊

Paint the balor! I think that'd be cool to see done up right.

Hey cool video man. I like the lore and painting combo.

Piles of shame happen but I experience a lot of satisfaction when I finish a project that has been sitting in my pile of shame for years

I love pile of shame tackle videos! One of the funnest things about this hobby is seeing cool gaming items that people stashed away for a later date and are now finishing up. It gives me inspiration to do the same.

I can understand exactly where you are coming from. For me, especially recently with life and work being more busy and stressful; thinking about doing any hobby stuff just feels like more work...not fun tasks...just more tedious, work that needs to be done. I am still buying the occasional kit but after acquiring it I have no motivation to actually do anything with it other than add it to my storage rack crammed full of more uncompleted tasks I cannot bring myself to completing. Oh well, at least I have a metric tonne of things to do if I can ever afford to retire! 😋😋

I think we all have that proverbial pile…. And yet… shop for more lol

This is kind of like my knitter's stash that I have in my craft room! I wouldn't call it baskets of shame, but... I look at them and I'm like 'gee, I meant to do this project with this yarn' but I keep being distracted by other yarns and projects. I think showing that someone can work through a backlog and examining the reasons why these crafts fall to the side is a neat take. Looking forward to more! ... While I knit through my stash at the same time. Ha.

Very nice and easy! Good job! Looking great!

Love the color variation 😊😊😊

They look awesome!

Nice video

I really like the green/brown combo! I will have to try that sometime.

I love the details that pop out so easily and give it a bit of visual interest. Really cool!

They really came out great the variation of colors makes everything pop good job on both ✌️

These look fantastic! And I offer my sympathies concerning the one million bricks. You are absolutely right that not everyone enjoys every part of a given craft or activity. Some people like aspects that other people will hate with the fire of a thousand suns... except sanding. I've never met anyone who likes sanding. 🤣

Liked and subscribed. I have started to craft props for DnD and I built a barn roof completely out of coffee stirs. Layered to form beams and stuff. It's a fun hobby. Looking forward to see what else you can come up with.

Great job. Keep up the good work. Love your vids.

Awesome work always look forward for one of your video's great choice on the individual bricks makes it look more realistic my Achilles heels is individual shingles love the outcome but definitely not my favorite part of the hobby, once again great job on these more please ✌️

You said "just the tip..." heh... heh... heh... 😋😋

In the future you want to put down parchment paper when using oil washes. The white spirits will eat away at your cutting mat

Really ready good looking!!!! Can’t wait to see what modular pieces you are creating next 😊😊😊

Amazing! Maybe it was a lot of work, but the end result totally justified it. One of your best work. And a litte bit of nitpicking: if the door is comfortable for an adult, then the arrow slits (which came out super cool btw) are 10 feet tall. It is really minor thing, I just have an eye of these things, sorry. Two story would be better. Truth is, I really enjoy your work, you are a true craftsman.

As I sit here knitting an elaborate lace shawl, you mention that it's okay to dislike parts of your hobby and it's like ... yes, yes I agree because there is little I hate more than extremely long cast-ons to start a project, and blocking the damn things. Some people are like 'woo yes, my favourite!!!!' and I want to yeet my needles and yarn into next week. Those guard towers look fantastic and the amount of work you poured into them shows! When you're base-coating the bricks after they're on, could you use an airbrush instead of hand-painting to make it go faster?

Looks great! I love the look of the moss in the gaps between the bricks. Definitely worth the time to glue all those on individually. Would love to see it with a wall and/or gate.

I'm surprised I didn't see this video before I seen most of your video and patiently waiting for more✌️

That color scheme you used is awesome!!!

Good stuff! There are some interesting bits of scatter that I haven't really seen anyone craft before. I can only watch so many videos of crates or barrels... Anyway, definitely stealing some of these. I'm crafting a massive chunk of the player's city for my final campaign arc, there's good bits in here I can use to liven up the city. Cheers!

Im going to pick up the red dragon for £22. I love that it comes with stats. Tbh i will get all of epic encounters stuff as the price for what you get is basically best on market. I mean dragons the same size will cost you around the same or more and you get nothing extra for those.

I only got into D&D as an adult, but your story gave me vivid reminders of high-school visits to my local (old, cramped, and musty) comic-book shop. The store is still going strong: it has a new, bigger, better space; a ton more products, including gaming supplies; friendly and enthusiastic staff... and three other shops in town to give them competition. It's great to be a nerd, now. :)
