Hi Jeremy, I'm a 'Pegger myself and man is it weird around here lately. They took all the chairs out of City Place mall lol. I'm about to watch this tutorial and I had a question for you. I'm thinking about trying to do a fairly involved swamp scene diorama using a large piece of pet store aquarium driftwood as the centerpiece. Could you use Mod Podge to seal it? I know you mix in black paint as a colour primer with yours but can you prime Mod Podge after it sets with a Games Workshop primer? Thanks. Tom

You could also save time and waste on the strip cutting by cutting a wavy live-edge line, then a straight one, then wavy, alternating as you cut. Each piece will still have one wavy edge.

A few months ago I got a random suggestion from youtube to watch a terrain building video. I can't remember who it was. I used to play D&D 30+ years ago and it looked interesting so I clicked on it. Next thing I know I'm subbed to about a dozen people doing this stuff and I'm saving boxes and bits and building stuff for the fun of it. I don't even play D&D now, nor do I plan to. But I like this community and the fun stuff you all teach. I've always been an action figure collector (since my first Han Solo figure I got in 1977), so I'm scaling the methods up and making 1/12 and 1/6 scale stuff and making props to put on the shelves next to my figures. I've made a couple of terrain pieces for fun and will try to see if our local game store has any need for them when we're done with the sickness. oo-ah-ah-ah-ah. Stay healthy and enjoy the kiddo time. Hope you like it enough to decide to home school, if they let Canajuns do that sort of thing.

I started crafting towards the end of February for the D&D 5e campaign I'm running. Storm King's Thunder. Got a whole bunch of scatter terrain made. Rocks, a hollow log, felled tree stump, stalagmites, and more rocks. Looked spectacular considering the tools I had on hand. Friends loved them. I was happy and it really enhanced the experience having something more than just black marker on the battle mat. Now with COVID19 we moved to roll20 for the time being. It sucks that I put all this work into them and they've been put into a box collecting dust. But its better to be safe than sorry! Crafting supplies can wait, so protect yourselves and your loved ones!

Lacking a foam cutting table, I use this material to make wood shingles. I use a matte modeling paste and a wet cruddy brush to make my wood-grain textures on the shingles, giving me ridges to catch dry-brushing. I can use the same cardboard in strips to line valleys and cap hips and ridges. - I mix some black paint with some modeling paste to make a roofing tar (post-painting of the whole model) for weathering-in chimneys, or to make the appearance of a tar patch where a shingle is missing.

Consistently delivering videos like a champ, sir. As to wood grain on cardboard, I've been experimenting a lot lately with glue-based textures. Take a fairly-large sheet of cardstock, brush a fairly large amount of glue on there with a dry brush, and then brush it over and over again in the same direction. Make sure you do this on top of something like parcment paper that will let you peel away the piece once the PVA has dried. You end up with a grain effect complete with irregular lines. Of course, you have to seal it before you start applying washes or even watered-down paint. This seems to work better with heavier versions of PVA, like wood glues and tacky glues. Has anybody else had any luck using PVA to create wood texture?
@MKempICI
4 жыл бұрын
Something I forgot to add: No water on your brush when you do this. You want to avoid the PVA spreading out, not encourage it to do so.

something else you can try: instead of scoring the strips, cover them in a thin layer of Mod Podge. Let it dry completely, then add another, slightly thicker layer on top. As this is drying, you can use a wire brush to texture it! It can take a little bit of experimentation with timing, pressure, ect. But the result looks AMAZING once it has a base coat on it! I used it to make a Mimic sculpture, and I seriously recommend trying it out!!

I know you're probably never gonna see this, but for all of us in the comments, I found that using the edge of one of those small hobby files, the one shaped like a knife that comes to a tapered edge, and running it down a page of cardstock with pressure works super well to put in a deep wood grain. Only thing I'd suggest with it is to brush the dust off to the side gently, use a swiffer duster, or vacuum it as you go instead of slapping it all off which throws all that dust in the air.

Awesome. Your elegantly simple technique looks remarkable when finished. It occurs to me that alternating straight and wavy cuts on center with your marked lines at half-inch increments is a simple and efficient way to create strips quickly that have an "organic" bottom edge with a straight top edge (for neat alignment) that is hidden in the overlap. Keep up the fine work. -- Chris
