I don't know if I would make a hedge maze, but both the Topiary and planters could be infinitely useful. I'm fairly certain I have a drawer full of old plastic animals...

I love the whimsy that the mushrooms, flowers and butterflies bring to the pieces!

This is such a brilliant idea and I will be excitedly using it to make "topiaries" for my Fairy themed Slaanesh demons terrain.

For the ones that aren't glued to the base, you could stick a magnet or two in there. Then you could get them off, and not knock them over.

love these! the hedge maze is great on its own, but these instantly give it a specific tone for the scene

It's worth mentioning that some kinds of spray paint and some kinds of plastic will react to each other and basically never cure; I have a plastic ball I painted silver for a game 20 years ago that's still tacky. I'd suggest painting one or two figures from a package as a test before doing a whole bunch.

I'm not personally a fan of spray glue, either, but I think if you thinned down some white glue and painted it on, it would work almost as well. I've also used very thinned white glue as a sealant for things like this. Let the flocking dry, then dunk it in a small tub of white glue that's almost a liquid so it soaks into everything. Just be very careful in your handling since the mostly-water can loosen the flocking. Once it's dry, though, it's very tough.

This is such a great idea! They look wonderful

[innocentBystander]

Really like this idea. Gave me some awesome ideas I can actually use!

[claireful]

This is freaking genius. BRB going through my box of crappy plastic creatures

[evilanno]

I also love pellinor1 's bits. They are awesome

[artistpoet]

Excellent! And many thanks to Nate for sharing as well. I noticed he did a few in stone too. So cool.

[storiesofsarahtonin]

This is so clever! It's given me ideas to make a large one to put at my front door 🤔

[Octopugilist]

What a neat idea to immediately add atmosphere and mystery to a maze or noble estate.

Maybe the hedge maze is on the estate of a powerful aristocrat with a dark secret, and debauched secret rituals take place in the hidden heart of the maze

Or it could be a labyrinth in the heart of the Feywild, and the plants supernaturally grow in the shape of and take on the behaviors of deadly predators

Or it could be the herbal garden of a powerful witch, and the topiaries are enchanted guardians

Love the Edward scissorhands meme at the beginning 😂😋

Beautiful build! I love how inexpensive it is to create this (can just use acrylic paint instead of citadel) but it certainly added that extra touch to the hedge maze. 😘 never failing to amaze me ❤️

I think my favorite part was Spyro. That was actually Cynder I think

0:16 Every American who grew up in the 90s: "Topiary... Shrubs or bushes cut into decorative shapes" (thank you, PBS, lol)

[andersand]

Great video and cool encounter idea with the living bushes. Might try it like in the shining where the bushes only move when you turn your back to them

[dshowat]

They look great. I have been doing this for a few years with cheap figurines for miniature Villaging.

How do you have so few subscribers? You deserve way more. The production quality of your video is amazing!

[FixitFingers]

Your production and editing is getting even better each video. This one was perfectly paced and very cool outcome. Plus, anything that helps use up "The Hoard" is a good thing ;)
