Add crystals on the back and it'll look even cooler

One can get so much mileage out of your "slice, twist" technique with the knife to get incredible looking stone. I can't imagine ever bothering with wet work like clay or casting when you can do this and get instant results.

There should be a movement to call oversized monster minis “Biggies”

So many alternates could be made like this Rock,Lava, Water, Fire,Ice and Earth spring to mind I'm sure there's even more you could think up. Came out looking like a high dollar large boss monster.

We were at the keep, everybody had matching cowls; somebody climbed up to the clock, and there they saw a rock. But it wasn't a rock... it was a Rock Monster!

Just what I needed, my players will love seeing it but their characters will not. 😈

This is a great way to incorporate Miniatures into your terrain channel. I'm really digging this episode. He rocks.

That would be cool as hell as a lava monster. base it in bright yellow and dry brush red orange and black over it all

I could so see this thing hugging up against a cliff blending in. As soon as the characters get close by and revealing this thing will make their jaws drop in amazement and terror. Awesome build man!👍🔥

A wild thought hit me: that think would look really awesome with some heavy rings embedded in its arms and broken chains hanging from them. I think anyway.

If you want it to have even more balance, make it have on huge arm that rests on the ground.

I plan to make one of these that looks just like a rock feature and have the players battle around it. Then, near the end of the battle, when they think they're done, I'll stand it up and the fight will continue.

12:32 most epic fight scene I've ever seen

This is one of my favorite builds and one of my favorite videos! I've watched it numerous times and finally built a Golem of my own! (I wish I could give it more than just one like) Now I'm just waiting for the Mod Podge/black paint to dry so I can add sand and start painting! My son-in-law is the DM and I think he'll flip over this! Thanks, Jeremy!

the touch of the final scene with the elemental in action is the best! :D

The bit about covering gaps with moss and glue reminds me of Bob Ross - Same sort of wholesome helpfulness in these videos. Love it.

MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL

That looks absolutely fantastic. Truly inspired piece

This is an amazing build. Beats anything i can do on my 3d printer! Please make more of these amazing large scale creatures!

Looks amazing as always! Just recently got into miniatures and everything D&D. Love your channel and everything you’ve done, thank you for all your hard work making and filming everything!

That is awesome! Next project selected 👍🏿

Awesome build! I love it!!!!

He looks awesome, reminds me of the rock monster from 'Galaxy Quest'...👾😎😊

Amazing build as always!

I love this build. I've got to do this one in multiples.

I would love to see more build like this too. Your houses and stuff are amazing, but I never would of thought of doing this.

Realy cool build! Thanks for inspiring me.

After watching your channel for almost two years I’m finally gonna make something lol. I’m going back to this video and it will be my order build ever. I’m excited

THANK YOU so much for such a fantastic, easy to follow and build-yourself tutorial video. I have wanted to make something like this for a long time, just for fun, but didn't think to use foam, thinking wire and milliput would have to do instead. This is something I can do all day now, making a "small" army of these creatures, from all the pieces of foam I have left after building terrain. I already have ideas for both "male" & "female" figures, which are making me laugh before I even get started. I've subscribed to your channel now, as you are so inspiring, and I'm learning some great new tips after over 40 years of model making :-) Again, thank you for such a fun and easy to build-yourself tutorial. Paul

THAT Is a good idea! Thanks! I always need a Ton of Elementals in different sizes, so... HELPFUL!

I am new to crafting minis. This was the first boss monster I have made. Me, my wife and my 6 year old girl had so much fun with this creature in our last game. Thank you man!

Great idea thank you for the inspiration! I just finished my earth elemental I think first time is a success

That was sweet! Great build!!!!

Well done buddy. Great build!

Perfect

This is awesome! I love buying miniatures but there’s nothing better than making things myself especially when they look as cool as this!

That is awesome!

You're stuff is helpful and good. Superlike

Awesome, simply awesome!

this is a great base idea for a lot of chunky bad guys. Lava monster, giant snow monster a la Frozen, and of course a Rock Monstaaaaaa

Gret build! I'm getting 2 of those!

Really cool

Beautifully badass!

Put a black mineral deposit off its back and See if anyone in your group get the reference to breath of the Wild.

This is so awesome I found some XP’s foam and made my own version. Still got to add the sand and smaller rocks, but I am dead chuffed. You inspired me to build one. Cheers 👏👏👏👏👏

Dude i play 40k so my models are already basically built but my god this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen and i wanna build one just for a diorama. Fantastic job man

Having trained multiple people on how to use a kitchen knife, seeing you cut towards yourself with the utility knife brought back some old school stress.

This is bad ass!... another inspired piece for me to do!

Awesome build!

Cool I was in a game and our GM did domething similar using expanding foam chunks. Made an earth titan than wrecked like two cities before we managed to wish it away lol.

Cant wait to try building this one.

Great result!

Awesome vid!

OMG this is a freaking awesome build. Going to have to make one for my future God of War series.

Great build!

Awesome!

Very cool! Looks like it is bigger than a 2"x2" base for the large creature.

That looks cool 😎

That rocks!!

This is sick, I have so many ideas

How did i mis this video? It dropped 2 day's after my birthday?! damn, wel i have a lot of scraps so i got to work today on building this one, and thank you cthuhlus dream for the inspiration of turning this into a lava beast. I'm painting mine to be a fire elemental :-). Thanks to you both!!

Really cool.

That turned out really nice! Excellent project for a boss guardian. I will have to take a look at that minwax spray and try it out.

Thks for all the good tips

Love your channel

I may have to try this out. I made a Roper the other week that I was quite pleased with

I always appreciate your videos, but this is extra marvellous! And, I'll probably copy the idea :P

I agree lava or even an ice golem. Totally cool. Now how would you do a chain golem?

Watching you play with your minis like action figures is so damn wholesome. ☺️💜

If not friend, why friend shaped? It's adorable!

Lol love the little play video near the end. I busted laughing after narrating it.

Love it! Also make a stand-alone boulder that looks, more or less, like the top of the elemental. When the PCs get close to it, replace the boulder with the elemental!

cool! I made one and it was amazing :)

Badass!

You should male some custom treefolk! That would be intense!

awesome idea for scraps

amazing

Imagine how cool this would be if you made a negative space inside of a cliff face for this thing. Have it completely surprise players while it's sitting there right in front of them. Blow their minds. There'd definitely be some issues making that work but nothing impossible I suspect.

I had an idea today to make something like this, but then cut it in half in such a way that you can put part of it in the terrain as a piece of scatter terrain. Then when it rises from the ground you pull out the other piece and reconnect them.

ah, the classic 360 dagger dive DDT at the end. Gotta love those Fighter Maneuvers. lmao!!

I dig your show.🙂

Wicked!

Makes me laugh that you are being sponsored by a company that sells minis... then you go ahead and just made your own! LOL No but really, great build and great instructions, as usual!

Cool

Wouldn't it be kinda awesome to see something like this incorporate broken bits of statues, still kinda random, but an arm here, torso there, etc.

gonna use the black primer and a bit of higlight for an obsidian golem.

Lol. Love how you have it stomping on the PCs.

You should try kiwi black and brown shoe polish. It’s makes a great wash and really gives stone good color.

I have found grass tufts from Wish that were good but super cheap even with shipping They were ok I know they aren't as nice as army painter or some of the others because they need to be glued by you but if we are on a budget

This makes me wanna try some different materials for elementals/golem.

Groovy

How have I been actively following you for at least 3 years now and constantly waiting on new content (not a bad thing) but haven't seen this video wth

Totally making and ice elemental with Crystal shards!

"They looks like such big, good, strong hands don't they?" Sorry, I tried to resist but in the end I couldn't help it; I had to add one appropriate quote. In all seriousness though, I've seen a lot of homemade miniatures and this is hands down one of the coolest. You could really go crazy with the paint job and the kinds of things you could add on as extras; given the diversity of environments/terrain and greenery, you could make a whole bunch of these and none of them would have to look the same color-wise (I think we all know already that its unlikely they'd look the same in shape and form, and that's part of what makes them cool).

Wow that's cool, great job, looks like the rock guy from The NES movie

I would love to see you try and make a tree Ent out of this foam. Plz plz

For a stone golem, you could go with a more statue look, and then add moss to it in order to give the idea that it has been sitting there a while as a statue before attacking the players

Hey, I just watched the video. Great build, you actually inspired me to build 2 golems, one made the way you made it, the other one made by picking the shape apart with my fingers, and re-glueing the little cuttings back on, making him look like a mound of tiny boulders. But one thing at the end of the video caught my eye: you have an amazing set of trees, which seems to be the only craft I can't figure out how to make. can you show us how you made your trees?

I suggest investing in slice proof gloves Slice proof not stab proof So some care is still needed For a stone golem Could you use your baking soda super glue combo but with sand mixed in to hide the seams between the pieces? I get ideas from videos like these.
