In this video I make a Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Rohan House from scratch, using XPS foam to build a Lord Of The Rings Diorama. I also show the easiest and best looking method for making thatched roofs in miniature buildings that I have found. You can build your own terrain for Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game with out using expensive Games Workshop Rohan House building kits. I also made some Rohan flags from scratch and included some Games Workshop Orc minatures and Gamling. FORTH EORLINGAS !!

No talking? No problem! This video - gah! The music, the build, the thatched roof technique! Totally epic. All of it.
Thanks man! Just experimenting to see if the voice over is needed... still not sure haha
The thatched roof technique is easily one of the top-5 tricks I've seen this year! I watched every minute of the video and enjoyed every minute of it. Outstanding!
Thank you so much!! Most fun I have had on a build in ages :) Accidentally commented back on a dud account lol
That roof thatching!! Awesome!
Thanks so much Jon! Yeah really pleased with the thatch, and so easy ... as all the best techniques are usually
For some reason I was set not to like this build, but...HOLY CRAP! This is AWESOME! FORTH EROLINGAS!!
Thats pretty cool! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Your Channel really needs to blow up soon! you're doing some amazing work!
haha thanks! That would be nice. I will keep going what ever happens, I love making stuff and I love making videos. Feel free to share and help me spread the word ;) Thanks for watching !
Do you by chance do any commissioned work? I don't mind if you did a video on it as well.
@@skyknight6467 Yes I have done that a few times... find me on instagram and send me a private message :) My insta handle is Nat_1_Videos
Top tier build. Also that font made "Shifting" Lands be read as something else!
Thanks! haha what did you read it as?... if you can type it on youtube lol
End result looks great dude!
Cheers Josh !
You know youâre friends when you both make viking-esq structures the same week. đ. Turned out great dude. Nicely done as always
haha Probably have some Viking blood!
The first video I watched from Nat1; just happened to stumble upon it. So glad I did as itâs one of my favorites and led me to my favorite channel!đ
A master piece this Rohan build ! The wood aspect of the wall and the tatched roof are perfectly done . Bravo
Thank you so much :D
Now that's a diorama. Good job.
Thank you so much! :D
That's a seriously cool way to do thatch. Been looking for a good method for a while. Thanks for sharing đ
Thanks! Yeah, very pleased with the thatch. Really durable too :)
Genius on the thatch roof!
(side note: appreciate the correct capitalization on my last name⊠first time credited on a CZcams video)
Thanks Doug ! hahah I make an effort , also I'm Irish so I'm used to Irish / Scottish last names ;)
Superb build and great finish! You make it look so easy!
Thanks so much dude! Squares and triangles, much easier than you think ...
Love it and I love the fact that Gamlings house is covered in banners!
Thanks! Haha yeah, I imagine Gamling as pretty patriotic lol
Absolutely beautiful work mate. This guide has to be top 5 LotR terrain build guides easily
Thanks so much :)
This an awesome build! Well presented with some great techniques. The music is great! Never before have I heard such nicely done arrangements of lotr music.
Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing craft! Kicked GWs Rohan kit right out the field with this one
Thanks so much! Thats a great compliment :D
Really cool Build. I love thw Structures.....
Good job Dude đđ
Thanks dude !! :D
Okay, not gonna lie, this is the first time a terrain build has made me emotional. Between the music and your always amazing skills, I am stunned. I'm jealous of your abilities, and as hard as I work to catch up to your level, you seem to jump forward exponentially with every new video. Phenomenal and breath-taking. Thank you, take a bow, and thank you again.
Aww thanks so much! Made my day :)
Just keep building and enjoy the journey, the more we build the better we get!
Agghhh missed the premiere by a few minutes! Awesome build though! Looks great!
Thanks !! Forth Erolingas!
Awesome work all around, especially impressed with some of the finer stuff like those lap joints. The freehand on the banner is đđ
Thanks Karl! The devil is in the detail ;)
Thanks for the help, I couldn't find how to easily make thatch roofs anywhere else!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :D
Love how you did the thatch. The details on the house looks great!
Thank you so much!
What a tremendous channel, cant help but be inspired every time i watch! amazing
Thank you so much Tommy! That made my day :D
That is a great trick for thatched roofing!
Thanks!! I picked that trick up when I hit salute wargaming convention earlier this month. Got chatting to lots of people about terrain building and thats what stuck in my head... bingo! Rohan :)
@@Nat1videos awesome!
That roof looks great đČ i thought you're just going to carve textures at first. Great build!
Thanks so much Ara! One of my favourites to date :)
YES! Love the Lord of the Rings content! I'm very much looking forward to collecting more and hopefully actually playing this game next year. Great work man, the towel thatch is a trick I'm definitely going to steal and use!
Thanks Mike!! Yeah man, I'm gonna play in January , can't wait !
Very cool thatching technique
Thanks Jammy!!
Excellent work, Michael. The whole thing is brilliant, but the thatching and banners and genuinely astounding
Thanks so much Cross! How is that brick wall coming along?
Well, the first 4 are drying. Takes so long. đ Gonna see if I can make hot glue work, for the next 24 walls đ
@@CampaignTerrain Should work as long as you wipe away the excess quick enough... Are you making a video for your build?
Definitely. This is the literal foundation level, of a town I'm planning to build
@@CampaignTerrain YES!!! Thats awesome dude! I'm looking forward to that very much!
Ah, the music gets me every single time :) Well edited video, once again, Michael! I loved the trick with the towel. I'm just not sure what your better half thinks about that ;)
Thanks Maria!! hahaha she will never find out ... ssshhhhh
This is very cool. Itâs about number 6 on my things to do list now
Thanks!! What are the other 5 ?? lol
Stunning work with a strong rohanian vibe going on! The top notch freehand banners are only the icing on the cake! Also i really love your little skit in between, your acting is always so good and fun to watch :D
haha thanks Martin! More skits coming soon. I finally feel like I'm back on a roll with making videos, nice to do things in a fun way :)
Wow impressive video and you make it look so easy. Love all the techniques you used in this build, all the little embellishments and such. I like the use of solid pieces of XPS, I now have ideas for my large scrap pieces.
Thanks Scott!! Awesome, glad you got something out of it! Now get crafting ;) lol
Wow! You do amazing work sir! Brilliant!
Thank you so much :D
Great stuff, congratulations, itâs been so cool to see your channel and techniques improve over time. Good on you. Keep it up đđœ
Thank you ! Every day is a school day and every project is a new learning curve. I'm glad you can see the improvement :)
Great video bud, time to recycle a bunch of old towels around here! đ
haha careful now, I don't want to get in trouble by proxy lol
Loved the diorama I used similar but an old kids jumper lol
yeah, material is great for crafting! I have a box of material scraps, use them all the time!
supe cool! very inspirational. will be added to the playlist and dug out again once the time has come! :D
Awesome! Thank you!
Great Piece of work there Michael, and Gamling came out excellent too! No voice over this time?
Thanks Jim! Yeah after I put the music my voice over just didn't sound right... I watched it a couple of times and thought that it worked so I just left it. What your opinion on that ?
@@Nat1videos defo works, I think if it would help you save time to make more videos then continue but they do lack a personal touch. There's alot of big crafting channels that operate without voice and do very well but there's a disconnect with the creator I think. Maybe smaller vids with music and your larger ones 15/20+ play time with a voice over? Best of both worlds
@@Gentleman_Jim Yeah, I think you are right... be good to find a balance between the 2 things!
Was waiting for. "Honey, have you seen the red towel?"
haha I pinch stuff all the time. The hinges on the door is one of my wife's ear rings lol... sssshhhh don't tell!
@@Nat1videos lol! Living with artistic people can be... "interesting".
@@carthaginean hahaha
Thats some amazing carving techniques man! đ
Thanks bro! Are you going to hangout for the guild build stream?
@@Nat1videos for sure mate đ
Brilliant work. I am currently working on a modular terrain build of Meduseld at Edoras; it is a BIG project!
Oh I would love to see that! I recognise your logo... are you in my Discord ?
@@Nat1videos Yes, sir. I joined recently after being referred by the Dungeon Matron. đ
Awesome!
Thanks dude ! :)
Brilliant!
Thanks so much :)
This is incredible!
Nice work!
Thanks mate! Happy Christmas !!
Genius!!!
Thank you so much :D
Wow
Thanks :D
4:05 Wait, did you just use a towel to create a thatched roof.???ââ WOW..!
Yes! And it works amazingly well :)
ĐŃĐ°ŃĐŸŃĐ°!
Thank you !
You were correct. This video is even better than your other Rohan house build ( the one for the tournament). Thanks for your recommendation. Do you have the template or rough measurements of this build posted anywhere?
I don't... but when Benji sends the buildings back I would be happy to make some measurements ;)
@@Nat1videos that would be amazing! Thanks you so muchđ
â€ïž
:D
Great video - what did you use for the banner? I need to get one made for the weekend and yours looks amazing!
It is just a small bit of cotton, then I just cut it in to shape and super glue it to the flag pole. Then I use the superglue to make the flag go stiff in the preferred shape. You can make it look like the flag is waving which is nice. Takes a little time for the super glue to dry though. I use the loctite brand in case you are wondering ;)
@@Nat1videos When you say a small bit of cotton, like a tshirt or something ahah?
It's ok you can shamelessly resell loctite. I've got a bunch of it here hah
@@molemend Yeah any material really with a fine weave will work ! I honestly just used a scrap from a material scrap box :)
Did you seriously just whip out Celtic knots like it was nothing??? How? Are you one of the Blue Wizards? Edited to add that I LOVE this build! Those standards, the roof, everything...
haha thanks so much Kim! Really glad you enjoyed it :)
@@Nat1videos want to become a patreon...looking at the tiers now!
@@kimnobles7687 oh wow!! đź Thank you so much! I look forward to chatting over there :)
What was the thatch material ? Fleece ?
It was just an old towel :)
No horse dung everywhere 0/10
haha good point! Maybe I'll let my hamster run around on it for a little while lol
@@Nat1videos no joke this is a great piece, that thatched roof technique ill use it for some tropical palm roofs. Your kind narration is always missed though. Great video Michael take care
@@SMunozDB7 Thanks so much :)
