An historical note: not all barrels in the Middle Ages were strapped with metal. Most barrels were strapped with wood. They would use green saplings split down the center to create a kind of ridged banding that they would apply around the end of the barrel in the same place that modern metal strap and goes. Just a little detail to add variety to what you're doing.

Pro tip from the wargammer in me, diluted PVA with water makes a good spray sealent for things with flock on them like the gold piles. Will seal down any loose gliter and also stop any glitter catching and pulling off in future.

There are always people out there just getting started with terrain crafting. I suspect a lot of them just had their minds blown. Thank you for consolidating all of these ideas into one video, Wyloch.

My favorites are the weapons racks. I could see an armory full of them. I definitely get the Baldor's Gate or Diablo feeling from them. I can even hear the looting sound effect in my mind while looking at them.

I was very happy when I discovered that taking a fine point pen and quickly hatching in some "woodgrain" or cross members before throwing on paint and wash makes a "good enough" bit of detail to these sorts of little pieces.

I've gotta say this. Your videos are timeless and specially useful not only for begginers but also broke people like myself. I've been binge watching most of your stuff, it's 2am and I have to sleep but I'm so excited to try some of this stuff in the future. I don't even play DnD that much but this just looks like it's fun to make, using it in DnD seems like a bonus.

Regarding the crates, I have had good luck with colored sharpies for the bands, rather than painting the x-frames.

Old map paper made from canned tamale paper! Not the fresh parchment, but the stuff in the can! So for our easy dinner the other week, it got me inspired as I took the paper off all six tamales, wondering about the material, so I washed / dried the tamale paper, & then ironed them flat, Perfect stiff texture and it looks like the start of some really old maps!

i don’t play dungeons and dragons. i don’t play tabletop role playing games. but growing up (41 yrs old now) i did play a ton of video game RPGs. i love these videos because they bring back a lot of great memories. and not to mention everything built looks really cool.

I think that display case was the first piece of terrain that I ever tried to make, before even any ruins

Treasure chests are one of those things every fantasy game needs
Dnd, war games as objectives, they are always useful.
Also for gold piles mixing the large glitter in modgw poge is a great move

The weapon racks were awesome. I especially liked that you kept the pieces that were broken by the hole punch. A little visual interest to give the piece a hint of story that makes the world just a little more 'lived in'.

[RedBairnMedia]

For "Outdoor stuff" can't go wrong with a few classics
- Camp site
- Cross roads
- River crossing
- Suspicious ambush spot on a generic pathway

I NEVER get tired of watching this video. I don't even know how many times I've watched it. Lol

The Inn with the fire crackling in Icewind Dale II is the epitome of cosy I feel.

You can use parchment paper to keep glue from sticking while also ensuring your bottoms are perfectly flat. Cool video.

[BruderLoras]

Very nice. As tiles go, I still go with your former concept with walls and clip ons - they're a ton of work compared to your new ones, but I do love the payoff. But dungeon dressing is universal, and I really need to sit down and make a ton more of that. So already looking forward to the furniture vid!

[stephencreme]

Once you have the gold coin mound set in the glue, try covering it with clear nail polish to prevent glitter from falling off. I’ve never done it before (meaning building miniatures), but just a thought.

[Karlmakesstuff]

Great ideas - especially love how the weapon racks turned out! The crates also look excellent and the method is super low effort - love 'em!

[MarkLewis...]

Awesome as always Bill... Respectful suggestion on treasure chests, easy to make, that can even function, (open & close) fishtank treasure chests! Already to scale and available inexpensively on that A to Z store. Even insert a treasure pile like you made here! Leave as is for a pirate theme or glue coffee stirrer segments on as planks for more of a medieval or dungeon look. Fun to make and look amazing! Makes awesome Mimics too!!!

Thx For all you do Bill!!!
