The first 10 minutes I was like: men, this is kinda wack. The moment you added the dry brush and the copper color, it completely changed the look of it. Nice job
Dry brushing is actual magic
I know right? It just goes to show a great paint job makes a world of difference.
if someone would like to support a great painter pls go to this channel, i will appreciate it thanks: czcams.com/channels/IEBj4ACEIVuZo6i_RWYI-A.html
I imagine the dwarves put the gravel up there to give them traction on frozen battlements. This keep is likely high in the mountains and no one wants to slip off one during icy conditions.
Iced gravel kills.
To soak up any blood as well.
Funni number go haha!
Yes I like the cutting and brushing audio a lot. But even more your unique narrative style and the dwarf dialogue had me chuckling! Loved this video.
SO. FREAKIN. AWESOME.
MACHICOLATIOOOOONSSS!!!! Who else has watched Shadiversity?
the minute you said that holy word my mind went straight to him
@@dovahfett5919 It is truly a magnificent and glorious word my friend
@@dovahfett5919 Me too!
if you like shad you should also check lindybeige, tod's workshop and skallagrim.
I love Shadiversity, I thought of Shad the moment you said machicolations.
The machicolations are a great touch. We always will DEFEND the look and feel and availability and durability of cardboard. KEEP it up!
10/10 I'm doing this for my D&D game. Cheers from Mexico!
National Ethic Pride, try making an Aztec step pyramid .
Just don't try to make all of the walking stair case. Way too many steps to cut and glue.
Have a good new year with many fun games.
@@krispalermo8133 I've actually done one before. I saw this styrofoam disposable cooler in a Walmart. If you put it upside down it resampled a pyrimide. So I bought it and made a bunch of foam paper bricks to cover it in. It was for the BBEG of the campaign.
@@johannesjacome7539 So cool , thanks.. I now need to go to Walmart now.
Have a good weekend.
For covering the open corrugation (as well as mistake made with hot-glue), if you wanted the whole keep to look like rough stone, use water and PVA glue and cover the cardboard completely with toilet paper. Once it's fully dried give a base coat of dark gray and matte modge-podge (about 50-50 mix). From there you have two paths open to you:
Limestone/Sandstone: Heavy dry brush of Yellow and a brown wash with a very light dry brush of light-gray.
Or
Granite: Heavy dry brush of light gray with light dry brush of off-white. Brown wash optional.
Please, make a tutorial for that!
I'll remember this if I decide to make other simple buildings, thanks!
I was gonna suggest this!
@@AFarmerCalledChicken Which part? The method I suggested or making a tutorial? I would if I had the time, buuuuuut I don't.
Alternatively, you could cut a few paper egg cartons up into rectangles and use those as bricks.
I gotta admit i´m blown away of how simple it is to make something incredible. Great video
Only dude on CZcams using a sword to cut cardboard. You got my sub sir!
This is so impressive. When you showed the door working I was blown away. Really inspiring stuff all around.
This is the first video I've seen with the brushing sounds, REALLY helpful as somebody who's just getting started, so I know how it should sound when doing it right. I love the brushing and cutting sounds. Brilliant build, thank you
coarse coffee grounds make a great ground texture too
cody as do Pencil sharpener shavings.
Brushing noises are now officially part of the Bard’s Craft Opera! Edging with card stock really was worth it - when I used tissue paper and PVA over the edges it was in the Dark Ages before the hot glue gun. Epic build and congratulations on the Patreon milestone👍
I have never seen your videos suggested until this one just now but I am glad it happened because that was cool. Subbed.
I am so happy I found this channel. I'm definitely going to be taking notes to make terrain for my D&D group!
CZcams recommendations actually working for a change. Awesome video! Can’t wait to try it for myself
Dude, I just found your channel through comments of Black Magic Craft channel and let me just say thank you. You are much needed and appreciated in this quarantine. Wishing you all the best, stay healthy and keep up this awesome work!
Yeah I like hearing the cutting and brushing audio too, it's like a crafting version of a Bob Ross episode, very zen and fun to watch and listen to as well. And informative.
This is fantastic! I'm a foam guy, but now I definitely see the utility of cardboard. Love the sounds of cutting and painting, especially when they are sped up! This dwarven keep looks awesome.
This was brilliant, and having priced this stuff at stores with my son, building seems to be the way to go, well done !
my brothers and I built our own fortress after watching this, worked out well for the campaign we were playing at the time
Wonderful! The Dwarf's lines are glorious!!
Another great piece, and your style and comedic input has progressed so well! Your personality has really come out in your videos. They are getting better and better!
Dude, you're a frickin genius! Very inspiring for getting back into miniatures and D&D with my 2 sons. I'll be using this idea! Thanks for posting this video.
Love the video and the brushing sounds. I'm inspired to make my own! Thanks!
This is fantastic! Thank you for making such an accessible build for new crafters!!!
Very impressive
Awesome. The walkways worked out well. I like the sounds of the dry brush.
Wow dude i don't play D&D but i love love love LOVE to build dioramas using cheap ways and materials this has really inspired me so thank you
I used a lot of cardboard for my scenery when I was a teen, then I switched to foam and other materials, but I must admit you used some smart techniques and now I kinda want to try a similar build now :D chapeau!
Yes, I love the brushing and cutting sounds!
Very cool and simple idea for a functional gateway and the hinges for the bridge/ladder
Looks really good. Every project worth doing requires time and several steps.
I don’t know how I stumbled on your video but I did, and it’s awesome. The end result looked great, plus the construction was informative, interesting and entertaining. I needed this today, I can’t say enough good things, great job!
That’s another excellent build, Mr. Bard, sir. Your imagination and creative instincts are superb and your sense of humor is awesome.
This helps me to figure out how to do The Thundercat's lair. Thank you.
This is really a great idea. I play 40k Kill Team and this will work great for that too!
Loved your funny comments as you were building :) .
Gotta say. This looks absolutely stunning
i am so happy i runed into your content, i was looking for content like this...thank you
Couldn’t sleep and this appeared, absolutely love this video! Subscribed
At last the algorithm is in our favor, welcome!
Very cool! Commentary was lots of fun as well!
This is the first video I found of yours, you are a genius!
Really nicely done! Looks every bit as nice as the Foam builds
I love how modular everything you are making is.
I enjoy the cutting and brushing sounds!
I love the cheap materials. It makes the hobby easier to get into.
Good, super simple projects and cheap materials is what gets people interested in the craft :)
Keep it up, sir. You make some creative, functional, and fantastic stuff that's super budget friendly.
That copper on the cardstock trim looks real nice!
I like the colour scheme and how it all came together at the end. You definitely need a dungeon or cave system now that leads from an underground gate in that Dwarven castle, possibly leading to the Temple you made a few weeks ago !
I've never got into D&D, but at the ripe old age of 23, I really want to now. And the cardboard methods you showed were so simple, I can see myself doing it - it's just the painting aspect, it's pretty expensive to get a wide variety of paints and brushes
Great Video Lucas!!! I have been following you from the beginning and use a lot of your techniques in my own builds. Thanks
Incredible project and incredible video! Thanks for sharing!
Super dope dude. I will be making this. Thank you.
Wonderful work and really cool Wall Quais!
Great beginner project. Cardboard is a great crafting material. Very nice work mate 🫡👍🏻
10:51 oooooh man, i felt that! extremely nice content, i've never said this but you just got another sub, keep the good work, this looks terrific!
The sound is nice, not just because of the satisfying sound, but it also helps confidence if my own sounds like that.
Great craft, always happy to see more dwarf builds, but if I may offer some suggestions?
1: Cover the corrugation as you go rather than at the very end. With so many pieces at odd angles, especially since this craft is one large piece, it would save you a lot of hassle before final assembly.
2: I would consider doubling the thickness of any walkways, if only because you never know if someone will bring a bulky metal miniature that could warp it, or worse, fall over and break.
Great results, thanks for showing us
Great work - good to hear from some dwarves as well.
I don't make a whole lot of things, but if I start anywhere it'll be with your builds!
First video I'm watching from you and even if this is not something for me I just want to watch more videos because 1) it's simple and effective but mostly because of 2) your small jokes that made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the great tutorial and the laugh!
just found this channel, and now I'm binging all ur videos, well done man, ur very talented and could u please give us some more..... ASMRs, lol I don't know why but the sounds of the foam and the brushes is so relaxing
Great job! Love the simplicity of cardboard - I always find it useful building a quick cardboard model to prototype complex structures before moving on to XPS. Filling holes you could try a thin layer of plaster or drywall filler.
Very nice job! Amazing what can be made just out of cardboard.
Looks amazing, well done.
Nice work, simple but very usable and something that's very each to teach others how to make. Well done........
you are one of the best dwarf for crafting
New subscribble! Looking forward to binging my way through here.
The speed up drybrushing should like winning on window's solitaire. I love it
This is awesome mate👍🏻 not everyone has the time and money to be able to build super realistic structures so this is great. You can also use expandable foam (from a DIY store) to build awesome caves etc
Great build! So simple yet elegant in design, and superb in execution. My PCs won't be seeing Dwarves for quite a while, but I've saved this for future reference :D
Also, I love the cutting and brushing noises, both at regular speed and especially when sped up
Good! There shall be more noises of cutting
Damn that's amazing! I don't have skills to do one of therem but I'm sharing with my RPG group right now, keep up with the good job mate!
What an incredible building!!! Great channel I just found, and I love it!! ✌️
Welcome!
This looks amazing! Great job using simple cardboard!
Now this looks like a fun project!
i've never clicked subscribe faster in my life. thank you, FINALLY, youtube algorithm
This is epic, this is the first video of yours I have seen.
The card board texture makes the walls look like iron slats, i think it works very nice for this build!
Finally! Glorious Machicolations!
Awesome idea to explore no-foam models.
Nicely done. Very cool that you can use the modular tower in there.
Thanks, modular is the best!
Awesome work with the cardboard man! Epic! Glad to see u still doing tha thing!
this is exquisite!! Great job!!
Insta subscription! Easy to make, well explained and fun to watch (as I was making number 2)
Keep it up!
Ps: metric units ftw
Very nicely done! It looks amazing.
this is so awesome, i've got some grat ideas now thanks
This would work great for 40k as well! and i really dig the brush noises. Its like full on ASMR.
Using spures as Corbels to secure the machicolations is a great idea.
You can also use drywall mud to seal the holes and gaps is you don't mind wiping the walls down with a SLIGHTLY damp cloth or paper towel afterwards (maybe after the first base-coat of paint has dried to provide a better barrier). A great build any dwarf would be proud to call home!
Putting the dried bark in a pepper or salt grinder turns out some nice, fine particulates if you do want something of a smaller grade too.
GLORIOUS CONSISTENT METRIC UNITS
unexpected ASMR :P I think you enjoying the brush noises enough my man
Simply amazing
Very creative and Crafty man! GJ. I like the audio of the brushing, adds a little more completion to the video. Your narrative was good and yeah the short Dwarven comments made me smirk :p Good Video. I think the castle looks great! Its so great because anyone can make it with the materials you used> Good job man
Thanks, I really like the super simple builds :) Not just "oh look at this epic terrain I made", instead "here is ok terrain that you can make easily"
@@BardsCraft The best part is, it is actually do able! i hate videos of guys who make stuff but its not realistic for anyone to make it. these guys are pros and use specific and hard to use materials. BUT your videos shows how anyone can use basic and easy to acquire items and materials to make awesome things! Your awesome man. I have subscribed to your channel and ill keep supporting you from now on.
Really awesome stronghold, my man!
~ Wolfbrother Methos
Dude, you're phenomenal!
Awesome work!
You ask during the video if we like the brushing and cutting noises ... Absolutely yes! I have learned to associate your speed-up dry-brush sound with your channel. I would miss it.
