So as a mini builder AND an actual roofer as my job.... that pizza box roof method is amazing!!!! I watch a lot of build videos and have seen a lot of mini roof tutorials, and I think about how roofs are ACTUALLY made a lot and that simple method you did is just the best mini roof on KZitem bar none! Be proud of that one my son!

Thank you! Sometimes making a ruined version of something means you can cut corners, but a ruined roof needs actual trusses and individual shingles to look right from all angles!

Good piece! Casting the arrow-slits in Milliput seems a strange method to me. If you have one mould, you'd need to do a LOT of waiting for it to cure each time, and packing the mould takes a while too. I'd have thought you could make the slits out of the XPS foam in a tiny fraction of the time.
@EricsHobbyWorkshop
4 жыл бұрын
It was a strange choice. I wanted to try out the blue stuff, and it made the arrow slits more durable too. It also helped break up the monotony of working with foam. But no it was not by any means the most efficient course. Love your videos btw

I don't know I'd you will see this comment so long after but... We have arrow slit windows on one of our barns, it was built around 1500 and has always been a farm building it was common around us to have a defensive able farm to protect again border reivers. We also have them on the ground floor, which is less common but not unusual on farms as they let the light in and could still keep people out. The Boarder Reivers would make an excellent mordheim war band worth reading about.

Absolutely love it. This, and the ruined house video makes me confident I can give terrain making a try. I do wonder about varnishing it as a last step for solidity and scratch resistence. Do you know if regular spray varnish from an aerosol can could damage the build? Doesn't feel like it would being that it's all painted, but I'd probably be devastated if it did after all that work.
