The secret to stopping the warping, bowing, and flexing that can occur with dollar store foam core board (or even the more expensive kind) after painting is to LAMINATE two layers together with hot glue. This creates a strong two-ply construction that rivals an MDF kit in ins solid durability after adding a couple of players of a 50/50 Mod Podge/acrylic basecoat to strengthen and seal the XPS.

This is great. Thanks for your video. After doing some "tiling" with popsticks, I would never do it again. I find them just too bulky, as well as hard to cut.

Very good job. I love the snow effect. The spiral stairway is cool.

great build but the dude talks so slow, if you speed the video up to 2x it is still perfectly watchable

For hard packed earthen floors, brown or tan modeling clay works well and you can smooth it out with a touch of water and a pencel eraser or another small flat object. Fimo is good as it will dry and harden over time if it will be used for D&D games. Loving your content btw

I know I'm late to the party but... For doorknobs on O scale I use a round head finish nail and clip it with wire cutters. Dab some bronze paint on it ant viola! It makes the perfect size doorknob for old school doors. I know RDR2 didn't have them everywhere, but in some buildings they did. Just saying.

Awesome

Hello ! How many pieces?

I found this castle on Amazon

Thanks man mine was given to me with pieces missing and some was of it was assembled already. My dad said he’d give me 50 bucks I finished it and I did, so really the 50 bucks should go to u

Looks awesome

Very good job. I can see my adventurers stopping off here looking for shelter from a storm.👍

Impresionante!!♥️

Did you ever resort to using any glue? I've attempted to build and the cone-shaped tower roofs won't stay together or on the tower.

@mythreach - did you glue together the cardboard 3D puzzles?

this looks absolutely stunning. What is the product'sname you used for the moss?

Point of fact: if you look at the Mormon temple in Salt lake City that's the right scale for your bricks. Think of them as granite blocks instead of a brick that a mason would use on a house.

Does he have an Amazon affiliate link?

what's the name of the foam?

I’m going to start this project…thx

I just found the channel, and I can’t believe the wealth of information and visual crack it contains! Are you going to come back with more scratch built projects? If so, please do some more SciFi, here and there, if you could. Generic designs would be great. Space Western would be amazing too. Thanks so much!

The roof of the Great Tower is killing me (number38). It feels like there is 3 cm missing to get it to close at the right height

You said "Leave a comment if you want to see how to make some foliage" well anything you do, i am sure i will learn from and immensely enjoy 👍

Hey, man, this was an excellent watch. I found it very interesting and entertaining. Thank you very much for sharing.👍

Great Job!!

Such nice complicated work, almost a jeweler!

This is God level shit! Bravo :)

That’s great 😊

Que material es el q usas???

19:59 What kind of product is this? Some kind of dough? By the way, great video and very beautiful dice tower!

I have one but without instructions 😢

this painting tutorial was exactly what I was looking for thank you!

Fantastic! This will be my first time creating a model from scratch and this is perfect. Thank you for the templates!

You should have added some lights inside the castle too. It would have been complete. BTW I LOVE IT

You should have cut your half circles in half because they don’t look climbable as is!

OMG, Tks, now i have a good idea how to start this proyect : )

Thank you!! I was given this puzzle half assembled with no instructions and some missing pieces. I looked and looked for an online manual - no luck. Then I found your video! I now have an assembled Hogwarts (minus the few missing pieces). Thank you for taking time and filming this!!!

If you use water over the silicone for the lake, it helps to flatten out easier. We use water in electrical work to make it look tidier.

...and coming over from your 7+hr build thread which is a Godsend! AMAZING work on the base....fantastic!

Also...building question? Can I use super glue on this, should the need arise? There's a spot or two that might benefit but I wasn't sure if chemically it might cause a problem w/the particular board material used here? We have LOCTITE Ultra Gel, which I like because it's not runny and thin. Thanks in advance!

Great video, and I'm building this now myself and using your video for guidance thru the rough parts. Glad I'm not the only one that struggles a bit with this build and you seem a bit more advanced than me. It's pretty challenging, and I think that '5+ hours' guideline on the box is a laughable lol. It's taken at least 5 - 6 hours just to do the first half of the kit, though I'm slow and careful and re-read instructions before building/committing. I've just finished the first stack of sheets (finished the whole 'left' side of Hogwarts including the bridges). HOPING the whole other side goes smoother? MUCH less round towers (and round roofs) to deal with. Looks a bit more 'modular'. Oh and that courtyard for the hospital?? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I very nearly have set the puzzle on fire trying to keep that section together, and what a war to connect all that up at once. I'm a little scared of the 'right' side because I know the quad is there...hoping it goes well. Honestly, while it looks very nice, I'll stick w/LEGOs and not 3d puzzles for future build projects. Just not a good match for me.

what material do you use for the base body? The church is fantastic

I have several other puzzles in the Harry Potter series but I missed the Castle

nice job. Well done with materials available.

This is amazing! I just got my puzzle and will be displaying in my room. I’ve been looking at how to make it look more real and special and I will be adding lights to mine. I am also considering adding a few more holes where the windows are to be able to add more lights inside… I deffo will consider adding in some more layers of rock as well now at the bottom (and the stairs and boathouse) thanks for sharing this!

Me and my sister just got this for Christmas and it's such a headach when nothing stays togeather or fits. So far we have only done the Great Hall and those towers do not want to stay in place. I'm planning on glueing the tower's and other parts in to place once I put it on the base to start making the making the diarama just so nothing falls of or moves.

You got to be happy with this one. Good work.

what is the name of this material that you are cutting to make the structure?

Gorgeous tower! I love when artists like you use recicled materials
