  • In this video, Keith teaches you how to build Dark Ages huts in 28mm scale using basic craft materials. He'll show you a very cheap DIY solution for making a sod roof, which was common across settlements in Saxon England. The techniques in this tutorial are beginner-friendly and can also be used to model other Dark Ages buildings.

    You can also use a pad of steel wool for a thatched roof. For a sod roof the Scotch pad is great.

      Steel wool also makes fantastic barbed wire for WWI trench scenes

    There is no evidence Anglo-Saxon houses used sod roofs. They predominately used thatch.
    Sod roofs are a Scandinavian thing and were used there until very recently.

    Why not use the hot glue for the cardboard strips if it dries fast? I have a hot glue gun but not used it yet. Any tips appreciated.

    • @LittleWarsTV
      @LittleWarsTV  Před 3 lety +1

      Hot glue would certainly work, but sometimes is can be a little thick under the thin strips of cardboard, looking a bit uneven and bumpy. But if you apply the hot glue carefully and don't overdo it, that works great. I've found tacky glue (thicker than Elmers) sets up on cardboard within 15 minutes.

      They explained awhile back that this will be the new format so that they can keep producing content year round on a more relaxed schedule. The previous fervant seasonal release schedule was causing all sorts of problems with the creators. They felt burnt out and didn't have enough time between episodes for editing, so it started to affect their personal lives and a bunch of other things.
      Much rather have this release schedule and keep the channel going. Their well being takes precedence.

    • @LittleWarsTV
      @LittleWarsTV  Před 3 lety +2

      One of our viewers, Yee Wing, explained this very well. But yes, in short, we decided that instead of releasing 2 videos a week for a 6 month period, followed by an "off season," that we would be better served slowing down the posting rate and moving to a year-round format. So you'll still get just as much content over the course of a year, but it will be more evenly paced! This also happens to make our lives here in the club MUCH easier.
