I use the clear plastic from minis or other products that have it like kids toys packaging. I also found if you take some wax paper and use your glue gun to smear some glue on the inside it makes a pretty good glazed glass effect with an led on the inside of the building.
I’m making this right now for my party and yeah I DL the plans for DT RPG as well, thanks 🙏 man huge inspiration and motivator incorporating a lot of your builds as well to the campaign. Extremely talented bravo sir 👏🏽.
So many interesting tips and tricks, a 16:27 video takes me an hour to watch in order to take em in. Keep up the good work, we’ll keep liking and sharing.
We always use some sort of grid, whether it be squares or hexes. For indoor objects we typically use squares because it fits well, for outdoors we uses hexes to give more flexibility.
John, once again, great work. Your instructional techniques is excellent, works well and easy to follow. If I want a clear window in a frame I just cut the shape from the clear plastic on a miniature blister packet. Plenty lying around as I never throw them away. 👏👏👏
For *glass* one thing you can do is to run a thermo laminating pouch (the plastic sleeve) without anything in it trough the laminator, you'll get an excellent sheet of plastic that holds and cuts very well and is very sturdy and transparent!
Walmart also sells plastic canvas sheets in several sizes of sheet and different grid sizes. For my projects, when I make windows I use the heavy clear packaging plastic for products in stores.
We play on a grid for interiors, but for large scale exteriors use rulers so there aren't grid lines running across a big ole field. I'm in the middle of like 12 projects right now but I hoe to download and try out some of your stencils soon; it's clear you put a TON of work into the planning phases- you're definitely an asset to the community!
Man I love doing your projects. You make it so easy to do good results. I also like that you explain the paint schemes so clearly- I am severely colorblind and it makes my painting very easy with good results!
I downloaded the blue prints...tavern is built and ready for shingles windows and doors..so far so good...having lots of fun with this thank you for sharing!
your crafting is excellent my man! I'm in the process of making tiles, buildings, dioramas, etc. once finished I think it'll make the game that much better! thanks budd
I know this was a year ago, but I just bought the files!! I'm so excited 🙂 I don't even play a tabletop game haha I just think it would look awesome on my bookshelf!
If you use stiffer cardboard to trace your pattern, you can lay it on top of the foam when you cut. The wire will not cut through and you will get a perfect result every time. Good if you need several identical pieces
That's a good tip and does work although you have to keep the heat pretty low on the Proxxon and move slow. If you push the wire too hard up against the cardboard the wire will cut at an angle underneath the cardboard and your edges will be at an angle.
I use true movement for my group. It's led to some interesting scenarios and also a few dog piles. Oh and for glass I've been using granny grating and spare top loader sleeves for magic.
I discovered your channel just yesterday, but I can say I do love it, right now I'm making all my scenery on paper, but I have decided to get my proxxon ASAP and convert to foam as soon as I can get all the necessary tools (shifting lands rollers and guides) On regards to grid, I personally prefer gridless (yes I do play warhammer), however I have seen some people argue endlessly about fractions of an inch and whole groups fall apart for this, so to each his own I guess, in my tables I always tell them, measure with the Flexometer and if you disagree we roll a die odd agains and even for and move on
Amazing work. You should do a viking boat , and a dragon skull island with a dragon cave. It is D&D after all. Always thought it should expand past land. Then of course you need the dragon .
I did copy indeed the plans, and plan to adapt them for a "medieval" RPG game with 1/72 scale figures. They'll serve as "decoration", and "interior" play won't of course be possible I plan to also build other medieval houses from several other sources of inspiration to go with it. Also ,I won't build it from XPS foam but from Styrodur I find by a german supplier for artists and architects.It's easier to carve than XPS and also retains the shape better and also takes paint better than XPS. The big advantage though is that I can find sheets in several thicknesses from 1 mm to 15 or 20 mm or even thicker... easier for me to work as I mainly work in 1/72-1/76 scale and 1/35 scale militaria & railway models, and sometimes do some wargame in 1/72 scale (that's why I indeed downloaded your plans for)
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I'm sorry. Let me try this again. Once you have the canvas in place within the window frame, coat the back of it with either Tacky Glue or Mod Podge. Once dry, you will have a translucent window. If you want to stick a flickering tea light in the build, you should get a pretty convincing glow through the window. You could always tint the Mod Podge with either yellow paint or yellow ink before applying it to the window and the effect should be even better. Hope this makes more sense.
I use a hidden grid on my wood floors i cut in 1/2 inch wide planks and add nail holes in the one inch spacing so you have a grid but it is not a solid line
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT jon.cook.1848 in the TCG if you want to friend. You could see some of my custom dice towers i have done a very Anima cliff side witch hut, Pirate Ship, one that folds into a book, a viking long boat and working on an asian castle now
For glass it depends on what I'm going for. Stained glass I use copper wire and led solder to get the shapes/murals I want as well as connecting all the wires together permanently. Then for the glass part of it I use the craft plastic paint like stuff that is translucent. It gives a more realistic old glass look as it can be textured easily by waiting a little bit and drag a brush or toothpick through it. For pained glass I use the clear plastic like craft like paint and either leave it smooth or texture it depending on what I am making them for. Yes they take time but I think they look better then using colored/translucent plastic for the glass. Also you can use a central light in a building and you don't have to have a bunch of LEDs of different colors or have something in the windows to defuse the light from close up LEDs. This also gives a more realistic look to the light coming through the windows as some will be brighter then others depending on how far away they are from the light source. For example if there's only candles on a table then there wouldn't be much light seen through a window that is far away for them or high up and so on. I did a few tests years back and used different light sources and their placement to windows and tried to replicate that in my builds. You would be surprised how dim candles, fireplace fires and so on are compared to modern lights and how dim they look through windows.
On my first house build i took a lot of matches, cut off the sulfur and then used super glue to make a 3 by 3 grid (frame) for the window. It was a lot of work but looked good.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thanks for the encouragement! Truthfully what I'd like to create is my fantasy kingdom in my mind which is a concentric castle with an upper and lower bailey main castle (hotel/event venue/restaurant/apartments with a park in the inner courtyard) and lower bailey consisting of a village with a main st leading to the castle (village would have restaurants hotels entertainment shopping and apartments) and between the inner and outer curtain wall public parking. Outside the outer curtain wall park like terrain. It's basically my "if I win millions in the lotto this is what I wanna do" plan but the scale of it is massive so I have no idea if modeling that is even feasible without millions of dollars lol
really love your idea, now you have succeeded in making me your big fan, and thanks for the tutorial and template I have downloaded it for my next project, thanks a lot man, I can't wait for your newest idea bro
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I still have a lot to learn from you about this, since I followed your channel and watched your videos often, and finally I decided to make it and this made my new hobby, I really enjoyed this, other things seem easy, the hardest part for me is the painting section, please give us, one video about painting, painting stones, painting wood and so on, the problem is that your painting is so real, thanks for your response
New subscriber here. Just found you today. This is amazing! Love it. To answer your question, we do play with a grid system. Grabbed the plans. I'm a new tabletop crafter, but would love to tackle this!
Hi Jen, thanks for the sub and kind words. Glad you got the plans. Any questions along the way don't hesitate to ask. You can also join my Facebook page to ask questions or Instagram.
Im using your techniques to build a haunted doll house for my little friends for Halloween. We normally do it up big but trick or treat has been canceled because of covid this year
Yeah, that's a bummer for the kids this year about Halloween. I'm glad to hear though that this video will bring some enjoyment to your and your family in its place this year :)
Hi,quick question.....I've a few builds I've finished making but I'd like to magnetize them like you do with yours any tips on how to line the magnets up to each other.........ps love your vids that much I've become a patreon.
Hi Richard, thank you for supporting the channel on Patreon! To answer your question regarding the magnets...I hot glue one magnet into place then once the glue has hardened I put a small dab of paint on the magnet and press it to the opposing piece of the craft. It will leave a mark on the foam or whatever you're gluing it to in the perfect spot.
Just downloaded the planes , I am more of the person who likes the measurements also . It's just nice to look over at them and reassure myself that I have the right measurement. But this is the build for the weekend. Were did you find 11x17 paper to fit a home printer , if you don't mind me asking?
I get my paper from the big box stores. If you can't find it or you don't have a printer that can print 11"x17" try a local copy/print shop. I try my hardest to keep the paper size as small as possible for everyone... I aim for 8.5"x11"... sometimes it's just not possible. Enjoy crafting the tavern this weekend, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I can be reached on FaceBook as well.
This is really cool! I wonder is there a way to make the blue prints as cut files for silhouette and cricut machines, I know I can cut craft wood with my machine. 🤔
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT budget and no great place to use as a workspace is what's holding me back. Our house is a mess and even the table I set up specifically for D&D has a whole bunch of stuff covering it to keep it out of reach of the animals.
David Oxley Hi David, there are many things you can use. I’ve used pieces of CD cases, UV Resin, Liquid Effect by Vallejo (not the best option), you can paint the foam black and leave it dark behind the glass or print off a picture of stained glass and put that behind the window, or you can put light in the building. Whatever you can imagine. Hope this helps, and enjoy the ride!
Great build! but i would still like to know all the messurments, since it seems the messurmetns are abit of and its easy to make the wrong size when working from a paper. for some reason my stuff don´t really fit. it made it jsut abit harder to follow is all. other than that its a really cool build. just my suggestions =)
Viktor Gustafsson Hi Victor, I did the entire build off the plans as well. You can measure off the plans and/or cut the plans and trace out your cuts to ensure they are correct before moving on to the next step. The plans would be quite cluttered if I put dimensions for every cut.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT is this printed off of A4 Legal paper? I printed onto a letter size and knew right away the sizing was wrong, but I don't want to print until im sure
I don’t use grid for my terrain pieces since I also use them for other games. I did download the plans but it printed small, like I’m not sure if it’s 25% smaller than intended so I’ve been winging it so far
I really love your work! i do have a question about your designs though, how to you make them? im very interested in designing my own buildings someday but cannot find a good program to draw them out.
where do you get the texture rollers? and what type of foam and insulation do you use? I've looked in the description, I can't find it though. GREAT BUILDS by the way, the whole group love the look. I really want to try some builds out
Thanks :) I have a video that will show you how to make them yourself. I use XPS foam in this build but also foam core as well. You can find it at your local home improvement store (if you're in the US). I'll add the XPS Foam in the description below to the Amazon links, and here is a link to my DIY Foam Roller Video: czcams.com/video/mJS5JjTP1P4/video.html
Hi, I bought the plans today. I have just one Problem, here in Europe we don’t use 11”x17” paper. I looked into my printer program and it says I can print it 97%. Can this work also?
As long as they are all scaled the same then yes. It will just be 3% smaller. You can always print it to scale and tape multiple pages together! Enjoy the build :)
just downloaded your plans. Really excited to build this! what thickness of foam did you use? i have a lot of 1/2" thick, green foam from Lowes. Do you think that could work?
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Hey thanks for the reply! It's Kingspan brand and sorry, i was wrong about the size, it's actually 3/4" thickness. Also, did you print the plans to regular 8 1/2 x 11" paper? or did you use a bigger size? Thanks again for all the help. Really excited to build this one!
dinosaurjr86 Sure thing. Kingspan makes XPS so I’d say you’re good to go. Can’t say 100% without seeing it tho. Yes 8.5”x11” paper and your good to go. Have fun!
I think the Thanksgiving holiday is setting them back a day or two on approval at DriveThruRPG. It is pending approval and should be available this upcoming week.
Printed up the plans from DriveThru RPG but having a Devil of a time printing them on 8x11 (I can shrink them to fit but to get the proper dimensions I can’t figure out how to split the image on multiple pieces of paper.)
It's meant to be printed on 11"x17" paper. Download the file and take it to a local print shop. Don't use the "shrink to fit" feature... it'll be all wonky.
I am just getting into the craft and i am going to do this one as my first project. I have a question. what size do you print it on? Regular copy paper 8 1/2 x11 or is it a different size. I have a home printer. Can I use it?
Nice Michael, that'll be a great first project. These plans are for 11"x17" paper in Layout format. You can print them on 8.5" x 11" you'll just have to cut and piece the plans together.. not a big issue. Make sure you select "Print to Scale" and NOT "Fit to Sheet".
bonjour, dites moi la maison m'intéresse , est t il possible d'avoir les dimensions et le shéma comme vous montrez dans la vidéo ,je vous remercie , cordialement jany
I bought the plans for this but how can I get it to print in actual size? I don't mind if it makes it on several sheets of paper but Having it done at a print shop is costly. I love your work and my hubby is busy working on some of your other builds.
Hi There Redd. When you go to print the plans, just print "Actual Size" and they will come out to scale. They are scaled for 11"x17" paper or 24"x36" paper.
What size is the base? Assembled, my walls are 8" x 7 1/8" and are too large for the base. I have this printed on 8.5 x 11 paper, 4 sheets taped together. I'm using 1/2" foam.
I'm pretty sure it was printed to scale but I must have messed up. My base is the correct size, my left and right walls look longer than what you glue together. 6" x 2 1/2". Which when adding two walls of 1/2" thickness to the front and back, there is the overhang. I'll start at the beginning and print the plans again. Thanks for taking the time to respond to the umpteenth "it doesn't fit!" comment.
I downloaded the plans today. Is the foam you are using predominately 1/2 in? The plans show around 3/8 for the foundation of each floor but that may very well be a printing scale issue on my end. Thank you for these plans and tutorials! They make larger projects like this much more approachable. 📐🤓
This is insane!!!!! So good!
Franky D. Crafter Thanks Franky. It was a fun build.
I use the clear plastic from minis or other products that have it like kids toys packaging. I also found if you take some wax paper and use your glue gun to smear some glue on the inside it makes a pretty good glazed glass effect with an led on the inside of the building.

I try my hardest to keep the paper size as small as possible for everyone... I aim for 8.5"x11"... sometimes it's just not possible. Enjoy crafting the tavern this weekend, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I can be reached on FaceBook as well.
This is really cool! I wonder is there a way to make the blue prints as cut files for silhouette and cricut machines, I know I can cut craft wood with my machine. 🤔
Thank you... and I'm sure there's a way :)
Glass? I love my UV Resin.
I don't craft (yet) but if I did I'd probably use Plexiglass for glass
What better time than now! I've put put a video on windows a little while back... have you seen it? czcams.com/video/qByjSGWZPMU/video.html
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT budget and no great place to use as a workspace is what's holding me back. Our house is a mess and even the table I set up specifically for D&D has a whole bunch of stuff covering it to keep it out of reach of the animals.
Great video. Just thinking of starting the hobby. What do you use for window glass?
David Oxley Hi David, there are many things you can use. I’ve used pieces of CD cases, UV Resin, Liquid Effect by Vallejo (not the best option), you can paint the foam black and leave it dark behind the glass or print off a picture of stained glass and put that behind the window, or you can put light in the building. Whatever you can imagine. Hope this helps, and enjoy the ride!
Excelente episodio increible saludos
Thank you Pablo.
Great build! but i would still like to know all the messurments, since it seems the messurmetns are abit of and its easy to make the wrong size when working from a paper. for some reason my stuff don´t really fit. it made it jsut abit harder to follow is all. other than that its a really cool build. just my suggestions =)
Viktor Gustafsson Hi Victor, I did the entire build off the plans as well. You can measure off the plans and/or cut the plans and trace out your cuts to ensure they are correct before moving on to the next step. The plans would be quite cluttered if I put dimensions for every cut.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT is this printed off of A4 Legal paper? I printed onto a letter size and knew right away the sizing was wrong, but I don't want to print until im sure
@@Kixri99 Hi Kixri, it's 11"x17" paper. Let me know how you make out, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thanks! I ended up going to staples and printing it on a 11x 17 🤗 Just started on the base!
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I was going to ask how you found 11x17 paper
I don’t use grid for my terrain pieces since I also use them for other games. I did download the plans but it printed small, like I’m not sure if it’s 25% smaller than intended so I’ve been winging it so far
When you print it off make sure you choose "Print to Scale" That should do it for you.
Ah that’s what happened. Thank you
VikingFyre No problem :)
I really love your work! i do have a question about your designs though, how to you make them? im very interested in designing my own buildings someday but cannot find a good program to draw them out.
Thank you :) You really can use any CAD software out there. I'd recommend starting with some of the free ones and go from there.
where do you get the texture rollers? and what type of foam and insulation do you use? I've looked in the description, I can't find it though. GREAT BUILDS by the way, the whole group love the look. I really want to try some builds out
Thanks :) I have a video that will show you how to make them yourself. I use XPS foam in this build but also foam core as well. You can find it at your local home improvement store (if you're in the US). I'll add the XPS Foam in the description below to the Amazon links, and here is a link to my DIY Foam Roller Video: czcams.com/video/mJS5JjTP1P4/video.html
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT you're awesome. I found rollers some websites but they wanted way too much for them. I'll check out your roller video tonight!
Excellent vid!
No grid for me btw!
Keem 'em going 😀 /sub
Addramyr Palinor Will do Addramyr. Thanks for the sub.
Hi, I bought the plans today. I have just one Problem, here in Europe we don’t use 11”x17” paper. I looked into my printer program and it says I can print it 97%. Can this work also?
As long as they are all scaled the same then yes. It will just be 3% smaller. You can always print it to scale and tape multiple pages together! Enjoy the build :)
just downloaded your plans. Really excited to build this! what thickness of foam did you use? i have a lot of 1/2" thick, green foam from Lowes. Do you think that could work?
dinosaurjr86 Nice! I used all 1/2” XPS foam for this build. What brand is the green foam?
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Hey thanks for the reply! It's Kingspan brand and sorry, i was wrong about the size, it's actually 3/4" thickness. Also, did you print the plans to regular 8 1/2 x 11" paper? or did you use a bigger size? Thanks again for all the help. Really excited to build this one!
dinosaurjr86 Sure thing. Kingspan makes XPS so I’d say you’re good to go. Can’t say 100% without seeing it tho. Yes 8.5”x11” paper and your good to go. Have fun!
I can't seen to find the plans on DriveThruRPG. All I found was the windmill. Do you have a link?
I think the Thanksgiving holiday is setting them back a day or two on approval at DriveThruRPG. It is pending approval and should be available this upcoming week.
The plans are now active on DriveThruRPG.
Printed up the plans from DriveThru RPG but having a Devil of a time printing them on 8x11 (I can shrink them to fit but to get the proper dimensions I can’t figure out how to split the image on multiple pieces of paper.)
It's meant to be printed on 11"x17" paper. Download the file and take it to a local print shop. Don't use the "shrink to fit" feature... it'll be all wonky.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Thanks!
will a box cutter work if i dont have a hot wire? (i plan to get one eventually)
The Compound Zoo You can build this with just a box cutter for sure. The plans are free. Grab them and give it a go!
Grid? Give me grids or give me death!

I am just getting into the craft and i am going to do this one as my first project. I have a question. what size do you print it on? Regular copy paper 8 1/2 x11 or is it a different size. I have a home printer. Can I use it?
Nice Michael, that'll be a great first project. These plans are for 11"x17" paper in Layout format. You can print them on 8.5" x 11" you'll just have to cut and piece the plans together.. not a big issue. Make sure you select "Print to Scale" and NOT "Fit to Sheet".
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thankyou love the channel
bonjour, dites moi la maison m'intéresse , est t il possible d'avoir les dimensions et le shéma comme vous montrez dans la vidéo ,je vous remercie , cordialement jany
Vous pouvez les télécharger gratuitement. Lien dans la description de la vidéo.
May I ask, what software do you use to make your designs/templates?
I bought the plans for this but how can I get it to print in actual size? I don't mind if it makes it on several sheets of paper but Having it done at a print shop is costly. I love your work and my hubby is busy working on some of your other builds.
Hi There Redd. When you go to print the plans, just print "Actual Size" and they will come out to scale. They are scaled for 11"x17" paper or 24"x36" paper.
What size is the base? Assembled, my walls are 8" x 7 1/8" and are too large for the base. I have this printed on 8.5 x 11 paper, 4 sheets taped together. I'm using 1/2" foam.
When you printed this off, did you print to fit or print to scale? You want to print to scale. The base is 8.25" x 6.25".
I'm pretty sure it was printed to scale but I must have messed up. My base is the correct size, my left and right walls look longer than what you glue together. 6" x 2 1/2". Which when adding two walls of 1/2" thickness to the front and back, there is the overhang. I'll start at the beginning and print the plans again. Thanks for taking the time to respond to the umpteenth "it doesn't fit!" comment.
@@keltarianprime8931 No problem at all... LMK how if you have any other questions.
Is that legal paper youre printing the template out on?
Jon Annett Yes it is.
grids of course. we aren't savages.
haha, nice.
comment for the money
:). Thanks
I downloaded the plans today. Is the foam you are using predominately 1/2 in? The plans show around 3/8 for the foundation of each floor but that may very well be a printing scale issue on my end. Thank you for these plans and tutorials! They make larger projects like this much more approachable. 📐🤓
Awesome and enjoy the build. Yes I used mostly 1/2” in this build.
