Off with their on a roll with these executioner tools. Gallows, next? Is the set complete or does it need another instrument of death? If so what?

No, you're not lazy for using a premade bucket... You're frugal with your personal energy resources and time!

Love your builds, am binging while 'sheltering in place'. These are the highlights of each day, thank you for making them!!!

[swampyswamperton]

Kinda unrelated, but on the Amazon for the utility knife you recommend, the "people who bought this also bought these" list showed Polyurethane and the hot wire cutter you use. Your fans are buying your recommendations enough to change the list lmao.

I really appreciate you showing us all your struggles with this project! It’s nice to know that even seasoned vets of a hobby have accidents sometimes.

Turned out awesome! I am hoping to surprise my DM with a few pieces by Yule as a gift. I know she would love them. Thank you for amazing videos with techniques and tips.

Kudos for taking this on with pink foam. But other hobbies have solved for this, and I think the techniques apply. Take a cue from balsa airplane hobby-crafting (not the balsa, but the method). Make a work surface out of corrugated cardboard. Cover that with a sheet of wax paper. This takes a bit of planning, but lay out your major assemblies on the wax paper and pin in place. Glue, and let dry. Then assemble from your pre-created frames.

I really like how this turned out. Very WFRP! Splatter turned out really nice.

[Dejavu]

for little things like this I use a Sequence pin, they are brass and look like large nails on the table when compared to the miniatures... just leave them in. If you paint over them (you usually will) just put a small drop of metallic and they look good again.

Nice build, even if a bit fiddly/frustrating to put together. It looks awesome, especially the wood. The wood color/texture combo really sells the wood look exceptionally well, especially on this piece.

[chibyo]

You're saying it the right way ;)
(im french i know what i talk about ahah)

[donaldpenton]

I made one following along with the video, even added a small modular staircase to fit on it and buildings, keep up the good work, i really enjoy your videos

[garysscaryfaeries]

Long wooden coffee stir sticks and popsicle sticks are cheap, plus they work great. Stained with a strong dark toned ink they turn out exactly like that grey old wood look.

[GrugTheJust]

Alternate idea, pins in, that gives you a rough length needed, pull them out, snip them, insert back in the previous spot and leave them in the frame.

It does look fiddly to work on, but I think the splatter really sets the whole piece on another level. Great work, Sir.

[seangere]

That thing looks amazing. Great work and great job sticking with it.

[CircularMirror]

I was expecting this video since the The Gallows. Great build.

[dannymcpurple]

Turned out really awesome. Definitely a labor of love and a lesson in persistence. Thanks for producing another great video.

[richiecarlin]

When pinning, dip your pins in airbrush needle lubricant or something similar. It's not much of an extra step but it really helps the pins release, without leaving an oily residue that causes the paint not to adhere to the foam. Hope this is useful going forwards

[ariasnow]

This is so cool, the blood is my favorite part for sure!

[AlexBabcock-hwiz]

Very cool lol I saw the end was going to say make a working one looks pretty nice maybe a iron maiden or a crowd cage or the rack next.

[DC-wmjl]

When gluing foam, I buy the little pins that don't have heads or have really really tiny ones I THINK they call them applique pins. You can push them in so the head is flush and leave them there, they're cheap and add structural rigidity. Hope that helps!
