D&D Church - Modular Foam Arched Door and Shrine!

Every D&D Church, temple or chapel, whether in a dungeon, castle or as a building in its own right, deserves an imposing, large entrance to make its worshippers feel small and insignificant ;)
I've put together an easy to follow DIY tutorial on making this completely modular accessory from foam, with precise measurements so all you need to do is cut and stick.
Combined with the modular doors from my magnetic building tiles video ( • DIY MAGNETIC Buildings... ), you can create an impressive entrance with ease, and replace the door with any kind you might need, from wood and iron to a barred prison gate.
Or turn it into a brick wall. Or an inset alcove holding a small artefact. You get the idea.

I am just super-impressed! I tried a project much less detailed than this about 2 years ago and it was a tremendous undertaking. I don't think people know how much time and effort really go into planning and preparing for this, not just making it. Prepping the filming, filming, editing, It's all amazing and time-consuming. Please don't burn out!

[@jonathanreid5343]

Hey I have built your tiles and walls and temple system. All of which turned out incredibly due to your videos. Any chance we could see you create a ship in the future. Thanks Matt

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Ship is on the list though some way distant :)

[@IcarusGames]

Fantastic as always, dude!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks man!

[@The1Flying]

quick easy and cheap way of "painting" metallic colours on scenery I use is Metalic Sharpies... Absolute godsend!
Covers in a single coat, and after a few washes/drybrush/weathering/edge highlighting it looks great, even used it on some minis to speed up the painting process. The Bronze one is my favourite, but the gold pen has a great tone too.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Yeah I've seen that technique before :) haven't tried it yet though...

[@isaacderr2799]

This channel is gold.

[@animeguysrhot50x]

Love this modular series :D

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks :)

[@echodelta2426]

An excellent addition to your modular terrain. Like the additional steps that can be used as a separate platform. Your attention to detail is admirable; for example your treatment of the bottom of the crenelations.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks Echo! I'm always aiming to include as much detail as I can without reducing how modular the piece is. It's a... Fine balance!

[@gnomecleaverdwarfslayer5201]

Absolutely awesome, and the music is great. Don't bury it!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Glad you like it :) in the newer videos I use something a bit more chill, though I might bring it back occasionally!

[@FrightFX]

Had an idea for another option of this you might like. What if you made the front and back arches the same size, and left the middle two as only thin pieces that went along the outside edge only. Then you could drop in a portcullis, or an insert with the smaller arches that you can slide in and out to get the look of what you have in this video. You could also add in larger doors, a drawbridge, larger alcove with a statue, etc. You may have to make the tops separate so you can make the are for where the portcullis goes when lifted seem believable.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Interesting idea :) probably won't be revisiting this design for a while myself though, got so much to work on!

[@FrightFX]

@@RPArchiveOfficial Cheers! Looking forward to all your new creations. Great stuff man.

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

Great video. I love you modular style

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks man! Plenty more coming.

[@rayrous8229]

I really enjoyed the inspiration and techniques.
Some constructive criticism on the editing. I would prefer the background music to be a lower volume.
Love your channel.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Check out my newer videos, the style has been refined a bit more :)

[@christophermurray9777]

Great as always. Keep it coming.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks again Chris!

[@davidrickey8841]

Your builds are great. Keep it up 👍

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks David :)

[@frankycustomslab4938]

Great work mate!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks man!

[@junkface81]

I dig the tutorial, would like to dig a grave and bury the neverending music loop.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Good feedback :) The next video is a little more varied, let me know what you think when it comes out!

[@leekendrick6015]

Not sure if you’ve found this out yet but you can widen score marks made in XPS with a heat gun/hair dryer as it shrinks

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

True, though I find that harder to control and not accidentally go too far :)

[@themakeshop1499]

Very good build. I'm a big fan of the modular system you are developing here. Do you find it inconvenient to use the skewers when reusing the piece with different walls over time?

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Honestly, not really. It's worth taking a bit of pride and care with the finished piece and not just jamming them in place roughly every time, but other than that it's been working smoothly for me since I started using the system for personal use about a year ago :)
Thanks for the support too, I always appreciate it. If you like the modular stuff, I've got another new modular system up early on patreon now, figured I'd mention it in case you were interested. Let me know how you get on with your builds :)

[@andrewmusgrove23]

Can I buy these!?

[@6RipSaw9]

Great video as always. However I hate the music. It gets too repetitive very quickly. But pls keep up the awesome crafts.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback :) The next video is a little more varied in music, let me know what you think when it comes out!

[@ghostbirdofprey]

If were was any wall accessory that wanted to use magnets, it's this one.
The cocktail sticks seem awkward on such a large piece.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Weirdly, this is one that I find 'just works', though I have since entirely gone magnetic (upgrade videos on patreon, if you haven't seen), and I don't miss the holes in my walls. It works as a cheap option, but I much prefer magnetic :)

[@MarushiaDark316]

One important thing to keep in mind when testing the dry brush on your hand is that certain acryllic paints can have toxic ingredients in them, such as Cadmnium for Cadmium Red or Cadmium White. Be sure to check your paints before you do this!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Very true, though citadel paints are safe I believe :)

[@patrickmasse7159]

Don’t change anything

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Appreciate the feedback Patrick :)

[@j.f.5162]

I love your work but the music almost makes it unwatchable.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

Old video. The newer stuff is much less... Vibrant 😄

[@firefishable]

This "music" is not only extremely annoying but also much too loud!

[@albertreed966]

Sorry, but I don't like your choice in music! Sounds like a stuck record!
