Nicely done. It looks great. Thank you for showing each step. 👍🏻

I've actually seen this done where they take the twine and just glue it to a strip of cardboard and then just wrap it around and then cut the twine on both sides after everything is glued to the cardboard. If you stack two pieces of cardboard on top of each other you can end up once cut having set up for four strips like you're doing here all at once. Once everything is glued and cut then you can unravel the twine and I would try to use a bristle brush to tease the strands apart quickly. The idea here is to do exactly what you're doing but do it in a more efficient and quicker way.

Great tutorial! I really like how you take your time to explain the technique in detail. Also listing the materials on screen is a nice touch and helps a lot! Keep it up, looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks, I appreciate it. My biggest concern was that I felt the tutorial was far too long winded and that viewers would quickly lose interest.

@ChrispyP 2 жыл бұрын

@@miniaturewizardry7650 I don't think that's the case at all. I think when you have a bit more confidence in your style of narration etc, it'll help with keeping engagement during explanation sections. But I definitely didn't feel at any point like I'd lost interest in what was being shown or explained.

Looks amazing! Really like the “materials needed” at the start, your calm pace and the idea to use a hair trimmer to tidy it up at the end.

I’d love a tutorial for the fence and garden

@miniaturewizardry7650 2 жыл бұрын

The wattle fence was very easy, it is just a thin hemp twine woven around cocktail sticks, hardened with PVA glue and then painted. As for the garden I have a video series planned that will cover plant, flower and landscaping tutorials.

Great video! I'd like to see one eventually on how you did the fence too. Looks like maybe more of the jute twine?

@miniaturewizardry7650 2 жыл бұрын

A different twine, but yes you are pretty much right. I used a thinner 2mm hemp twine woven through a row of cocktail sticks. They were then soaked in white glue to set them hard and then painted. I learned the technique in the same thatching video I linked in the description, however I do not want to do a video on it as I do not want to blatantly copy all of his content (I offered my own slightly modified take on his thatching method). If you are interested this is the method I used: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbyjntil19uogoE.html

Very Interesting and looks great. Have you tried layering a second piece backer board 4" or 11cm down cut it in the center to make a second off of the same set of loosened fibers?

@miniaturewizardry7650 2 жыл бұрын

No that had not occurred to me, I will certainly try next time as I definitely have enough excess length in the loose fibres to support a second strip before I trim them.

@JCinLapel 2 жыл бұрын

@@miniaturewizardry7650 If you have enough length you could use could even do more strips of card stock but I would put a third strip closer to the second because I am pretty sure it would be easier to glue. That is the great part of being in a larger group. Hope to see you post on the TCG sometime.

Great Work! Can I ask if the flower pots are handmade, store bought, or 3d printed?

@miniaturewizardry7650 2 жыл бұрын

The flower pots were all 3D printed, I downloaded a small selection full sized pots from Thingyverse and then scaled them way way down.

How did you do the wall effect, also how did you do the plants?

@miniaturewizardry7650 2 жыл бұрын

I used Dental Stone (a form of hard gypsum) to achieve the old stucco effect on the walls, with XPS foam strips to create the wooden beams. The plants were all done differently so you would have specify which plant you were interested in? However a lot of them are actually cuttings of real plants from Dioramapresepe that have been treated and dried out to preserve them, I just ran an airbrush over them to make them more lively and vibrant (dried plants tend to brown with age). I plan to do tutorials on both stucco and plants in the future).
