A DIY tutorial on how to make ruined castle sections for various settings/systems. Such as historicals, D&D, Rangers of Shadows Deep etc.
Made primarily from Styrofoam and with some modularity.

Thank you for your episode and technique. For decades now I have been attempting to build the Bannerman Castle ruins on a private Beacon, N.Y. island in New York's Hudson River. Though I have been an RxR modeler for decades, I have repeatedly had failed to come up with a style to make it happen. Your destressed foam idea hits the mark. Again thank you so much. Jim in N.Y.

Amazing build. Gives off some real weathertop vibes.

One of the more laid back low tech easy to do methods. Reminds me of another channel called Bard's Craft. Using a simple sharp knife or utility knife is Boss in my book. There are ways to make your own scuplt-a-mold using toilet paper, which will work fine on builds similar to this. You do not need a Proxon or hot wire cutter. This method of yours adds a more whimsical element to each build which works wonderfully in fantasy settings. The only thing I might suggest is an ink wash after painting the stonework. Try that out on a piece and you might appreciate the added detail it draws out. Well done.

I also watched Bard's videos. But he suddenly disappeared, so sad

Awesome build! Love your moss and foliage additions! They really bring a build to life!

Enjoyed this one a lot! I wasn’t sure about cutting the tower and half, but it worked out great.

I really like this build, I quite enjoy how you used the leaves and bushes to bring back some color to the pieces. As far as aesthetics go, this piece is perfect. I do have a critique (Note that I am a novice crafter so don't take my word as gospel or anything). I feel like you could have made it a tad more playable, especially the stairs. maybe you could make each stair just long enough to put a miniature on.

Thanks bud, always welcome to feedback, yeah, in hindsight I should've put a landing or something halfway up but I don't go into these builds with a plan 😂

4:13 - What did you make this white thick stuff out of? Thanks.

@thecavyforge7307 4 ай бұрын

That is 'Sculpt A Mold'. It's sometimes called modelling compound and it a mixture of plaster and paper pulp. You can buy it branded or make it yourself although i only have experience with the store bought stuff

Can I use EVA foam, if so what thickness 5mm or 10mm?

@thecavyforge7307 2 ай бұрын

Hmm, Eva isn't great for making rough stonework. You could make neater brick style walls then add more texture paste over the top but it wouldn't be as 3d as styrofoam

What foam is that you make stairs and brick from?

@thecavyforge7307 10 ай бұрын

It's Styrofoam, although it differs a bit between regions. Unfortunately it's a right pain to get a hold of in the UK

@viciousyeen6644 10 ай бұрын

Just go to a hardware store and look around the walls/roofs section. You will find Big insulation foam plates.

what is the name of that paste you use for texture?

@thecavyforge7307 Жыл бұрын

The white stuff is sculpt-a-mold which is a plaster/fiber compound and you can buy it by the bag at most hobby stores. The texture paste I use later on is a mixture of cork flock, sand, black gesso and pva which I make myself

@AghastRaven 11 ай бұрын

you are gonna get a lot of hot glue remains between the stones if you dont remove it before it settles its not gonna look to great once dried.

@thecavyforge7307 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, that's where you can use a sand/pva mix over the top to make it into crumbling mortar, or you can use the foliage paste to cover it. But I'd agree hot glue is not an ideal tool if you have the time/patience for mod podge instead 👍
