I really like that ogre cook. He reminds me of the old lego pirate cook.
Thank you for a wonderful video!
Hey Jeremy. Oil painter here. To preserve my pallet, my Grandma taught me to add Linseed Oil to my mixed colors and then I store my pallete in the freezer. I don't know how well it would work with washes, but it might be worth a shot. I know some oil painters use Linseed Oil or Walnut Oil and just leave their palletes out. The oils do affect the drying time so some Experimentation might be required. My paint mixed with Walnut Oil seemed like it was never going to dry. Best of luck! Thanks for another great tutorial!
I gotta say you could have used the resin printer to print out bones that would have matched the arch that you gave the tent structure
@@drakeorion94 I could have printed out a whole tent!
Let me just say, I'm a huge fan of you keeping the "Failures" in the video and just showing how you move on and that a project doesn't have to be ruined by it.
So true. A nice example of modesty to show us his real progress instead of trafficking the video to look cool. In fact, this is much cooler !!!
For me, 90 percent of this hobby is adapting to screw ups lol
a great artist once said there were no failures in painting, only happy accidents... that artist: Bob Ross
I love it too! It actually is inspiring, since we might be willing to try stuff without being so scared to fail. He could have screwed up his whole tente, but he took the chance!
That original tent looks like it would fit thematically much more with say catachan jungle fighters because of the jungle camo netting vibe I was getting. Love the craft paper leather btw, definitely stealing that.
Came here to say basically that, looks super cool on it's own. Just maybe not fantasy themed.
Came here to say the same thing. This would make a great Military style tent, especially for groups like the Catachans, or Ariadna from Infinity.
yea.. agree..perfect for jungle fighters
The original tent looks like it could have been made out of lizard hides.
@@tygrkhat4087 If you go with Catachans, that makes sense in (old) lore.
With that in mind, if dinosaurs are local to your campaign, then this fits in fantasy as well.
I've found that steaming skewers can make them pretty bendable. Exposing them to brutal temperature variations, like steaming them and then immediately dumping them in ice water, will also give them a bit of a curve, the only issue there is that you don't really have any control over the curvature you end up with. Still, it works well for crooked, haphazardly built goblin camps and stuff like that.
Yeah, getting wood wet, you can bend it pretty easily. Model ship builders do it all the time.
And speaking of model ships, there's lots of good scale rope out there that would also work.
exactly what I was thinking when he said whale bones, I think it would have taken more work than he wanted to make them look like bones though cause just bent wood wouldn't sell it. Time is always an issue.
For curvy pieces of the outside structure, you could have steam bent the wood. Very easy to do but overall not needed considering the final product looks killer
Would have taken longer than clay and wouldn’t have looked like bone or tusk as those are tapered.
That construction paper technique seems really versatile! Stealing it for sure. For scale rope and rigging, if you find that the color is too light but don't want to paint it, soak your twine in tea! I soak white craft twine in hot black tea for a few hours, then rinse it in cold water. When it's dry, I have twine that's still soft and flexible, but a more realistic rope color. Much easier than painting, and teabags are cheaper too!
And you can dry the tea for later use as ground cover on mini bases.
The people who wanted to complain about the waste of foamboard while cutting probably started bleeding from the ears when you started taking the tent off the base :D
hmm I just wanna point out that a lot of people complaining about waste are not complaining about cost of buying, but cost of production, and cause to the environment. I don't care if you save or waste money. That's your thing... I do care, if resources get wasted though... I don't wanna start a big discussion - just wanted to point it out, as only the financial side of this was mentioned.
Cool project though! :) Enjoyable and educational as always
Nah the people that complain are mostly complaining about costs. They make that pretty clear.
I too thought about waste in the ecological sense. It may seem cheap today because the price for it will be payed by future generations. Apart from that: great video, super-cool build, love it.
@@monanagel6616 yes, it is the crafter’s scraps that is wreaking havoc on the environment.
Broken scraps mean rubble scraps for later terrain builds. It's only wasted if you throw it away.
I appreciate the 80s-style “training montage” music during the sped-up build scenes.
Nice homage to a classic CraftFather build! Mad respect to DMScotty for starting so many of us on our journeys!
If foamboard is an issue for people, cardboard could be used for the framing instead.
Gasp! Using the cardboard instead of sending it off to "maybe" actually be recycled?
How dare thee use the foam board without spare! Thou know how much that hurts our environment?!
I do really love seeing you go back to old projects and redoing them. It shows your growth and design changes over the past few years!
Keep up the awesome work! Your videos were a big inspiration for me starting crafting, the first thing I ever made were the stone pillars, now 2 years on you've inspired me to make my own channel. Thanks BMC, you're a legend.
I absolutely love how fleshy the leather looks. It really looks like a moldy slapdash tent that an ogre would make. An interesting spin might be to paint the hides in layers, to make it look like as older hides have worn out they've been replaced, or maybe add some strange colored hides that might come from a troll or some other fantasy creature.
Maybe you could make different pva-tubs with different shades of brown mixed in and dunk white paper into it? I'm curious if that would work.
That way you get different browns that you randomly slap on the tent and you only have to add shadows with a wash later.
Interesting thought. It would also explain a hide that is larger than normal, like that of a mammoth or a dinosaur.
you could paint the eye holes and faces like on the old heinrich kemmler illustrations. Pretty grim.
I had all (ALL) the books you have in the background. What a flashback? Loved them.
Thanks BMC for building the way you do. REAL building. You inspired me to get back into the hobby 30 years later and made it fun again. Cheers.
These videos are therapeutic for me. I love them all!
One material I’ve found very fun to use is waxed leather twine, it sticks to itself, and I’ve been able to bond it to wood.
Very cool build. To add a little more interest, go in and paint each leather hide a slightly different shade to break up the color a bit. I think that would take a leather tent to the next level.
Amazing tech, J! [nostalgic mode ON] That first Scotty's tent... I think basically everybody has one in house somewhere...
Right next to the purple worm =)
@@theDMsCraft I'm going to make one tomorrow when I get some kitchen towel/paper towel. I struck out on getting foam today and made a little cardboard house but can't wait to try the Scotty tent 😀
@@psychedelikchameleon Awesome, have fun. It is super easy.
Mate, if you want to make an oil wash for later, add a bit more white spirit. I don't know why but it works in my case. Also, don't use nutella jars for storing anything that has "spirit" or "alcohol" in the name, cause then it tends to evaporate
Another thing to think of is using old (empty) model pain pots or bottles, as they are already reasonably airtight, and made to resist the chemicals in paints.
That might require having an easily cleaned funnel on hand that is NOT used for food elsewhere.
@@MonkeyJedi99 I can especially recommend tamiya jars, they are durable as hell
@@thth-sv4bt Tamiya is my "go-to expensive paint" and has been since my days painting military models.
I have since expanded my toolkit with WalMart acrylics and washes from Jeremy's recipe and Citadel.
Wow, seeing all those AD&D hardcovers is a blast from the past. From 1980 to 1982 I worked at Odyssey-2000, a gaming and book store in Halifax, and we sold those for, like 11.95 a pop! Those were the olden days, probably before you were born, Jeremy...
I've found that those green fiber 'berry boxes' work pretty good as leather too. Basically the same as construction paper, but thicker. The texture is pretty good as is, but it works better where the project doesn't need large large pieces of leather.
Big shout out to egg cartons, too
I was very unsure about the dowels when you started adding them, but the paint job really brought it all together! Fantastic build, and would make an amazing craft project to build with kids with how simple and readily available all of the base structure materials are!
The rope helped the dowels look natural as well, it looked really good in the end
Jeremy is the Bob Ross of terrain crafting!! "Oh no...what is he doing...oh. Ohhh...sweet!"
@@Strkr3 Add in some happy little wash.
I really love both of those - the kitchen towel textured effect makes it look more like a rough fabric tent than leather, but in a really cool way.
Your biggest gripe about the original project was the number one thing I liked about it the most. That texture from the paper towel is amazing. And I hope you can tell me what brand to look for.
Makes me think the warren's ogres eat their fuzzy neighbors, and use the skins for the tents. Very much like an ogre would!
Yep!
Waxed string that's used for jewelry making is great for rope in a project like this. Holds it's shape and comes in a variety of natural colors. Available at most hobby stores for a few dollars.
Would dental floss work? That's waxed string.
I wanted to say, I just started this terrain building hobby. I had been playing miniature for a couple year now but never got to play with nice terrain. I have a 4 by 6 feet table I built 2 years ago that was still only using a basic mat and old pc game boxes as terrain. Your channel really inspired me to start building nice stuff for me and my friends in the past week. Your techniques are really helpful. It’s a little overwhelming at first, starting with nothing, but I got tons of supply and free time and I am ready to build. Subscribed.
On curved exterior supports - would it be possible to soak your dowels in water and gently bend them into shape? Then, once they're dry, you could take air-dry clay or similar to make gnarly bits and bumps.
Glycerin would probably be better than water as it would infiltrate the wood more efficiently and be more stable.
It brought back some great memories seeing those D & D books and modules behind you!! I had all of those.
Loving the hard cover original books flex. Well done Jeremy.
This makes me want to have an ettin warlord in one of these "donut" tents and poking each head out of a different door to confuse the party. Congrats on the big 250!
Oil washes store for several weeks in the freezer. Paint does too which is nice if you need the same paint mix. I often put my paints in the freezer when life interrupts my painting.
The original tent and your Viking boat are the first two projects I ever did!! Been a fan ever since!!
I love orc and ogre stuff. Chaotic and functional! Great build!
Ohhhh! I might be able to teach you something!! So exciting!! Ok. So. What I have done is taken a bunch of white, oven-bake clay, and make three or four baking sheet full of loose bones. Mostly straight limbs, larger ribs, skulls, and such. Super useful for scatter and builds like this. I totally suggest this.
This will sound cheesy. But, damn it was cool to see the carry over. Building off a cool new found technique and seeing if it carries over to a total build. Awesome video and can not wait to try this out.
That was so cool that you were able to pull out a bunch of the supports.
Congratulations on hitting 250! That is awesome and you make amazing and fun videos that are easy to follow and entertaining which seems to be a hard mix to get right. Thanks for the last 250 and here is to 250 more!!
Another way to avoid the "base ties you to a place" issue is to create a very narrowly-cut base out of foam, but cover the foam in universal/generic materials. For royalty/commanders, a few rugs. Just print out a few appropriately-sized patterns from the web, and glue the paper to a piece of cardstock/foam. For soldier's tents, I cover the ground with rushes. I make rushes out of pencil shavings. Paint half pale green and the rest a pale tan. Spread some PVA on the surface, and sprinkle them over the ground. Both types of floor coverings work from Ancient Egypt to the late 1800's.
That’s a great tent!
I made my fair share of the DM Scotty ones, including one that was sized 3 times larger with twice as many support ribs so that I could make a giant circus tent with alternating red and white colored panels. But this one is so much more ramshackle looking, good work.
Awesome, new video for the morning to sit down and enjoy my coffee with
Really gives me the warcraft vibe, I've played Warcraft for the last 10 or 15 years and it really gives me that Vibe,I love it I'm going to try to build one!
dang that's a nice tent really loving that new leather way you found also i use large wicker basket handle pieces for curved bones when i need huge bones and the like also the remaining basket piece can be used as a cat bed so thats a plus
huh, will have to keep an eye out for baskets.
Great build. Showing the "learn as you go" is a positive thing.
Those people complaining that you waste a few cent of foam do not realize that you had to waste air to explain to them that you don't care. Serves them right! ^^
Love the leather hide technique. Currently with my hobby setup, that is waaaay too messy to do, but I am in a planning phase to get the most out of my living room with a separate table and all that.
Congratulations on doing your 250 build..we really enjoy your work. Very inspiring.
The only thing missing are some skull trophies! Great job! I love the leather technique!
I think the leather from construction paper is one of the best techniques that you have came up with. You are one of the creators. that I wish all newbies knew of.
By the way, one of the best sources of good small diameter bamboo dowels (skewers) is in the camping section of of the big box store. Less than a dollar for for a big handful of 24 inch long dowels.
Im laying down watching this and fell asleep towards the end by accident and the terrifying ogre grunting startled me awake.
Just noticed the book collection behind you. I used to have most of those editions. Im kind of jealous since mine were all lost to a storage break in while I was deployed over seas. Im glad they have a prominent place so we all get to see them.
love this! looking forward to making a tent city like this. But.. I gotta say, I'm totally drooling over those books in the background!
Love your content. Every time I see you put a new video up I get some hot noodles ready and eat as I watch. Thank you for being so much fun and genuine in your crafts, can't wait for the next one.
I loved the remaking of an old project with the new techniques, please do more of that. You seem more energized when you're just building trial and error style.
Man I don't craft all the time but anytime I do I ALWAYS come back to this channel for some inspiration. I'm definitely gonna give this build a go. Thanks dude.
250, Congrats, your a major inspiration, love your work and your attitude, keep up the great stuff, Lotsa love from Ontario.
250 builds?! Awesome. And this makes such a charming hat.
That's awesome. The "leather" looks good, it is surprising how durable and versatile a piece of paper and some watered down pva (I prefer glue-all or wood glue for strength and durability) can be. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
@Kayu B. yeah maybe. I never really noticed. I mostly use elmers glue-all. All pva is slick and shiny to me, but, I haven't had much issue painting over it. At least not paper mache. A puddle of glue could be a different story. Y'all have a badass day 🤘
250!
love the journey, looking forward to travelling !
12:54 try and store the oil wash in the smallest container posible. oil paints hardens thru a cemical reaction where it absorbs oxygen. thanks for the videos.
Looks ace. Be good to see a hole village. Also having the buildings having different hides and colours
Digging the classic DnD books behind you.
great technique. great lets get to work music. hope you enjoyed the rain. congrats on the 250! here's to 250 more!
This video really got the creative juices flowing, I would love to see this product mixed with some dollar store bone creatures (from Halloween). I also would love to use that paper mixture to make a nurgle flesh forest!
That construction paper leather is great, nice work man!
I also made some of those DM Scotty Orc Tents for my campaign. I didn't much like how the paper towels looked either, but my players loved them. I really like the construction paper technique you use, I think it looks much better.
Congrats on the 250th build video!
It’s been a lot of years since I did canvas oil painting, but I remember something about linseed oil as a mixing medium. That might work to store them: a little mixed in, then a fine layer over the top.
Umm…. The ogre impersonation at the end? That made me laugh! Reminded me of the old Warcraft 2 days.
Snap, i love the way that looks, i have never seen anyone use this technique to make leather. I am so appreciative that people are still pushing boundaries and not just leaning on old techniques, but building on them. Thanks Jeremy, keep ups the great work.
Fantastic work. I love the hide technique.
Oil Based Washes: Minwax Polyshades Urethane Stain (aka, The Dip Technique). Variety of colors available. Mix using the PVC Pipe Electric Hand Drill aerosol paint can mixer found on CZcams. Buy them in the small, pint cans. Colors I would recommend starting with: Royal Walnut (dark muddy brown) and Tudor (black). Cheers!
Another nice thing that could be done, once you have the base with the hardened paper done, when you add the sticks, you could use some more wet construction paper and pierce it through the sticks if you wanted to show the wooden beams going through the leather.
When I was a kid, I made some permanent balloons by blowing up a balloon and covering it in a mixture of glue and construction papir. It was a lot of fun as a kid to paint it up and hang it somewhere. But now that I see use an alternative version of the technique, I am thinking I could just cut a ballon in half afterwards two make 2 large tents quickly.
Ooh! Use smaller balloons, and make igloos! The entrance part would be easy to form over an empty pill bottle.
bro that tent is aweosme , im going shopping this afternoon for hobby tools, paint and materials think i will give this a shot for sure
Congrats on 250 my dude, and thanks for the continued inspiration!
That's a great set of books behind you.
Looks great, I can see the growth in talent.
Love the music... very 80s power ballad.
Great build man! I love those Eureka moments like the one you got here.
Congratulations on 250 builds! Lets see another 250!
Building something from scratch?! Fug yeah!
Hell Yeah!! I see You have better days. Keep this up!!! Im with You
Re: Oil Wash storing: So I asked my professional artist sister about oil washes and storing them, she said it doesn't work, the paint will sink to the bottom of the solvent and remixing does the whole "messy chunky bits" you mentioned. She just adds the solvent to the paint as she goes for washes. We'll just have to get really good at guesstimating how much we need for each project 🤷♀
Really cool build. A huge upgrade on the old tent for sure
really cool. i love the look of the hide
I love this idea. I built DM Scotty's orc tents a couple of years ago, and used them quite a bit at the beginning of my campaign in which my player characters lived with an orc tribe for an extended time. I'm going to take your leather technique here and go the other way...I think this would be awesome to use to make a dozen smaller, primitive 'huts' for a kobold community. Thanks for this!
Cool
Congratulations on the builds! You've definitely been an inspiration.
Definitely looking out for materials to make a tent.. Ohh you should make a earth golem with a tent on there back for a dwarf.
I would enjoy seeing the games workshop ogre maw pot inside with a tea light, something like the white hand of saruman on the tent, some bones or runes handing near the door etc.
Wow. Awesome project. Thanks for sharing!
Love the vibe of the new one…but oh! That original I could definitely see as part of an undead…goblins and the like circus tent of sorts, with your wicked lighting skills…especially if it was black with that killer shape you came up with….love the concept
16:10 me when I'm left alone for more than hour
great build! will have to set the construction paper idea, wonder if it will look good as tarp. the first montage music had me crying, very 1980's sports movie
The construction paper leather is awesome
Oil cures through contact with air. Store it in as small and narrow container as you can, with a airtight lid.
One of my favorite things about your channel is that you're willing to show all the mistakes and false starts that go into crafting. It really makes amateurs like me feel more comfortable about doing things badly to start!
looks really like something an Ogre would come up with!
Great video. Love this new leather/hide technique.
Congrats on 250.
If I was a different type of CZcamsr... Naw man. This is why I follow ya. The raw honesty is awesome. Keep the hobby real.
250! Way to go!
Sometimes a murky, grainy paint or wash can enhance the feel of a build either belonging to a faction that doesn't care much about hygiene or being abandoned to nature's rigor. Even the "mistakes" of blotchy colors could be from discarded trash, food stains, sloppy warpaint, spilled prisoner guts, moldy growth, etc. splattered on the portable lodgings for creatures like goblins, orcs, ogres, etc. that reject the civil parts of civilization.
This new leather technique is so cool, I love it.
P.S. Working alongside your mom has been a real treat, she's a wonderful lady.
The way to preserve oil paint is before you mix it with the thinner have your color mixed and put it in the freezer, this is good to do if you are working in a hot studio for a month so it doesnt dry on your pallet. Another way if you want to preserve it longer is put it in a glass jar, they make some little ones with screw caps, once you have that color mixed and you are ready to use then add your thinner. You cant store paint with thinner because that's what it does, thins your paint.
All paints have a binder, oil pigment is suspended in linseed oil, acrylic pigment suspended in acrylic polymer/binder, once you introduce too much OMS thinner or too much water it breaks down the paint and binder and makes your paint unstable, if you were painting on canvas heavy thinned paint without a varnish may have the risk of flaking off.
Linen thread would work well too. It doesn't fray and is really strong for its thickness
