I just have a good advice for u, since u r based in Canada, and Canada uses the metric system...why u give the measures using the Imperial system=????? I mean at least give the measurements in both, the Imperial and metric system, saying so because there are folks out there that live in places like Canada where the Imperial system isnt used. Thanks for ur videos since u give a lot of good ideas. :)
@@user-ro1cs5hp5e As a matter of fact the imperial system is WIDELY used in Canada, specifically in the construction industry. I was a professional renovation carpenter in Canada for 14 years. I never once used metric. I don't think in metric, I think in imperial. Metric (length) numbers are mostly meaningless for me. And the reason I say I'm using 1 1/2" foam for example is because it is SOLD as 1 1/2" in Canada, all the measurements of building materials (well almost all) are IMPERIAL in Canada.....besides NOTHING in this tutorial relies on measurements, it's only approximations for an idea, you can eyeball everything just like I did. Also %99 of my audience is from USA
ok ok, no offense meant. sorry for my previous comment, just was curious on why, because when listening to other canadians they give measures using the metric system. Any case didnt want to sound patronizing or bossy.
This right here is the pinnacle of the tabletop crafting art form. It looks sensational, and it is the culmination of so many of the techniques you have been building since starting the channel. I've watched the build photos you've shared for your Patreon supporters, and the payoff is so freaking satisfying. What a way to start the new year!
The Earthy cobble is where it's at. I use that look in everything I can especially vivs and aquariums. I know this is 4 years old, but it's cool seeing it put to use like this and the video just randomly popped up.😂
One of your best builds! A cool technique I learned from one of your crafting guildmates, The 28mm Build, is to get powdered grout mortar, pour it into the crevices of the brick or stonework, then just add a small amount of water into the recessed portion and it will harden. Same principle as the joint compound, but in using a powder rather than a paste you don't have to do quite as much touching up after application, and you don't fill in the lovely dings and dents that the Coffee Can Stoner puts in them. Cheers!
I'm gonna say this and I truly mean it. This is the most informative and useful channel that I've ever discovered. I used to build cardboard cities for art school projects and newly obsessed with tabletop wargaming. It's such a natural fit that I came across your channel and recently, because of your guidance on stepping up my craft, I've have decided to create a studio to make medieval and fantasy themed terrain and dioramas. I appreciate what you're doing greatly and I want to show it by supporting you on patreon when I get a little extra money. You've opened some serious creative doors in my mind and I can't thank you enough.
Jeremy. I was in a slump when it came to terrain crafting and painting. This video freakin' catapulted me right back into it. This was truly super inspiring! Amazing, Fucking Amazing!
While I'm not a DnD prop/scene builder by any means, I am a doll customiser, and I've been binging your videos while turning one of my doll's stands into a sort-of nature setting! Lots of your tips and techniques have translated over and have been really helpful, so I just wanted to thank you for that!
What an awesome build, my friend. Happy new year. I never new I wanted to be a crafting DM until I saw your videos. I did some things with a knife, XPS foam and self made podge. Then I ordered a hot wire cutter, Mod Podge, Epoxy, better knives etc. They should be delivered next week and I can't wait to get my hands dirty. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for making this video! In fact, this is a such a cool build that we have decided to do a challenge & see who can build the best Hag's Hut in our workshop... Thanks BMC!!
My mother used to collect David Winter Cottages when I was a kid. The style of this hut and you adding a hidden rat remind me so much of those. Great job.
HI, I want to thank you for the insight that you give on You Tube. I just finished a dice tower for my son who loves board games. Your videos were very helpful and straight to the point which I really appreciate. Thanks again Charlie C. Because the tower is round I cut foam strips of 3/8 inch then scored them 3/4 inch apart so the brick seams would without having make individual bricks.
Happy to say this is one of my favourite of all the pieces I have seen you make. The attention to detail is what makes this one so special. And that moss finishes it nicely
Very nice build. I love that moment of a new build when you go "hmmm I be an idea!" and then you do it and start praying... "is it look good or just destroy it". No risk no fun.
Wow, the stonework painting - even before the wash - is amazing. Seeing the painting/washing of the stone, door, and roof makes me want to build one of these. (Glad to see the dryer sheet making another appearance, it was fantastic for my spider nest.)
Love this channel, I've been watching for ages, but this is my first comment - getting into crafting for the Dungeon Saga game we've bought as a family. Couldn't recommend highly enough, always helpful, never patronising and always a new idea or technique to add to your own repertoire!
Just WOW ! Thanks SO SO MUCH for the homemade blackwash recipe. We totally feel the passion you put towards those beautiful objects. Keep on creating awesome stuff.
This one is ridiculously cool! While I have little to no interest in trying out miniature terrain crafting myself, I find myself coming back to this channel over and over again!
Awesome build! I have been looking for ways to make the fairy tail rooftops, and could only find a Sculpy way from back in 2014 - EPIC timing on dropping this. Thanks man! You have changed my life and my game. Rock on.
Wow what a fantastic build! It is impressive to see all of the techniques that you have refined culminate in an amazing hut. Thumbs up and well done you should be proud. I'm look forward to your next build.
Ended up here after doing some terrain for table top gaming and now wanting to make a hagrid's hut for a fairy garden and you are just INSPIRING. Thank you!
This was one of the first vids that got me into miniature building and worked as a gateway to miniature games. I've been experimenting with building detailed and photorealistic wall now myself and just posted a vid a while back for a tutorial on how to create one.
This is INCREDIBLE! I’m amazed at the quality of the build, the awesome effects you were able to pull out from the materials you’ve used! I’m an instant fan! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
I don't play d&d or table top games, just video games. And I have hero quest that I've been painting. But your videos are inspiring me to start crafting props just for the fun of it.
Wonderful Credit to you for trying out putting moss on the roof at the end there. It worked out fantastic and while it would now look out of place in a few settings it looks incredible for the wooded setting it fits.
I'm not into war gaming or fantasy stuff, but I do enjoy building dioramas and you got some great techniques that I might try. You've earned yourself a subscriber.
Phenom. Love your content, you’re super talented and you’ve saved me from blowing thousands of dollars on dwarven forge... you have given me the confidence to create my own high quality terrain. Thanks, Subbed
I'm a video game artist, and it is honestly super interesting to watch videos like this. You do so much of the stuff I do digitally, but in like... real life on minis! It's so interesting I wanna try it!! Thanks for the awesome videos
I was given a tip of cleaning hot glue wisps with a blow dryer, it doesn’t seem to burn the foam like a commercial hot air gun. Try low first and build up on test pieces. Awesome piece btw!!!
I appreciate mostly the part where you are adding details: great crafting work on them, and in my mind little details make every piece a greater piece. Nice job man, as always!
I think my favorite part about this build (and watching terrain crafting in general) is that this structure could have just as easily become a cozy cottage for a sweet grandpa gnome or something with basically no differences except a lighter shade wash and different decorative details (flowerpots and shrubbery instead of skulls and a noose)
Love seeing the progression and structure you've added to your videos over the years Jerome. Hope everything is going well for you and your family. It takes a lot of balls to give up a steady job to focus on a RUclips career. It looks like it is going well for you. Solid gains on viewership and follower count. Steady releases of great crafting videos. And plenty of improvements to techniques for everyone to bring up their crafting game with. Hope you and your family have all the best 2019 has to offer.
if you use an acrylic gloss varnish before washing, your wash will flow a lot better and you can use thinners to remove the wash where it pools without worrying about removing your initial paint job
Just found your channel recently, and this is the tutorial that really got me into action! So approachable and down to earth, and I really love when the story telling, DM side comes out - it’s ALL about the story, man! Thanks so much for all your great videos that you share. Keep up the awesomeness!
I love watching you create such fantastic items. As I don't play games - I never have, even as a child, it might seem odd that I watch this, but I have made models, for about fifty odd years now, and you've shown me a lot of good ideas. Have you heard of the Iron Age Scottish forts called 'Brochs'? They are cylindrical towers with thick walls - and the occupants lived in the walls, leaving the centres empty - animals probably were kept there. There are a fair few of these towers still extant, some fairly complete, others as slumped ruins. Here's the thing, though: they all have a tremendously mysterious and sinister air about them, as nobody really knows anything about them. I visited a few, many years back, and they are creepy. Ideal for scenery in games, the more ruined the better.
Wow, the new moss technique is sooooo much better than the standard of applying glue and sprinkling flocking over it. It just might be the best crafting invention since aluminium ball stone texture.
That is a fantastic witches hut! brilliant job putting it all together. i gotta say that hot wire cutter looks amazing! super cool it was inspired by a real witches hut!
I've been trying to figure out how to make a bent wood roof for a wizards tower I was working on. That tape technique is brilliant. Thank you so much, it has been driving me nuts trying to make one.

For a second I thought your title said "building Hagrid's hut," I want a Hagrid's hut build now.
Yes I've walked by it many times. My brother is very scared of the hut

Those stones and shingles look so good. The extra effort paid off big time.

This is the first video the algorithm brought me to a month ago. Been binging ever since. Keep it up!
Ok, I've watched you make 3 different houses now & I'm just blown away by the amount of detail you put into them, you are one talented dude.
I was scared watching you paint the moss on, then BAM... IT LOOKED FREAKING AWESOME! What an end result! Super inspiring! Thank you!

High quality and professionally produced video presentation. 10/10.

unimaginably glad to see you’re back to the bigger build videos. this is awesome man
Thank you for making this video! In fact, this is a such a cool build that we have decided to do a challenge & see who can build the best Hag's Hut in our workshop... Thanks BMC!!
What i would like to see is your group's REACTION to the amazing work that you're doing here.
My mother used to collect David Winter Cottages when I was a kid. The style of this hut and you adding a hidden rat remind me so much of those. Great job.
"I hope I don't regret that" needs to be a shirt.
I wana refresh my art skill & see what can do & come up with in creativity
HI, I want to thank you for the insight that you give on You Tube. I just finished a dice tower for my son who loves board games.

This kinda gives me a howl’s moving castle vibe, I love it !
Very nice build. I love that moment of a new build when you go "hmmm I be an idea!" and then you do it and start praying... "is it look good or just destroy it". No risk no fun.
Omg this is amazing. How have I not seen this video in 4 years?!?!
That moss process really looks terrific. Best I've seen.
The hut is, of course, enormous inside.
My son is very artistic and I told him about your channel. He is now a major fan. :)
God, I love this stuff. I can totally imagine stumbling across something like this out there....Just out of nowhere there's this hut. Love it.
This is hands down my favourite one! The painting and decorating parts of your vids are my fave parts!!
Took a peek, stuck out the full video. Thanks for opening my mind to something I thought was much harder!
Wow, the stonework painting - even before the wash - is amazing.
Seeing the painting/washing of the stone, door, and roof makes me want to build one of these.
(Glad to see the dryer sheet making another appearance, it was fantastic for my spider nest.)
This is the type of BMC episode I cherish.
I think this is one of your best builds yet. I love the stonework as always, but that roof is out of this world. Thanks for sharing.
Love this channel, I've been watching for ages, but this is my first comment - getting into crafting for the Dungeon Saga game we've bought as a family. Couldn't recommend highly enough, always helpful, never patronising and always a new idea or technique to add to your own repertoire!
I am absolutely dazzled by your projects. Thank you.
One of your best ones yet. Just amazing!
Just WOW ! Thanks SO SO MUCH for the homemade blackwash recipe. We totally feel the passion you put towards those beautiful objects. Keep on creating awesome stuff.
This one is ridiculously cool! While I have little to no interest in trying out miniature terrain crafting myself, I find myself coming back to this channel over and over again!

Wow what a fantastic build! It is impressive to see all of the techniques that you have refined culminate in an amazing hut. Thumbs up and well done you should be proud. I'm look forward to your next build.
This is probably my favourite build on this channel... So far! I love it 😍
This is probably one of the best looking builds I've seen to date. With or without the moss
Ended up here after doing some terrain for table top gaming and now wanting to make a hagrid's hut for a fairy garden and you are just INSPIRING. Thank you!
This was one of the first vids that got me into miniature building and worked as a gateway to miniature games. I've been experimenting with building detailed and photorealistic wall now myself and just posted a vid a while back for a tutorial on how to create one.
Lol @ “I hope I don’t regret that “.
I love this project. Lot’s of great transferable ideas for projects. Thank you for this!
This is INCREDIBLE! I’m amazed at the quality of the build, the awesome effects you were able to pull out from the materials you’ve used! I’m an instant fan! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Your painting and ageing techniques are Really Effective and I'm Loving the spider webs!
I don't play d&d or table top games, just video games. And I have hero quest that I've been painting. But your videos are inspiring me to start crafting props just for the fun of it.
Hum a well and a cauldron would add to piece. With the stone well broken. I loved watching this build.
Wonderful
Credit to you for trying out putting moss on the roof at the end there. It worked out fantastic and while it would now look out of place in a few settings it looks incredible for the wooded setting it fits.
This is an awesome piece! It kinda reminds me of one of those fairy homes you see here and there. So it can be a multitasking piece.
I'm not into war gaming or fantasy stuff, but I do enjoy building dioramas and you got some great techniques that I might try. You've earned yourself a subscriber.
Love to see all of the creative ways you've used those skulls, can't wait to see how you use them more in the future.
Phenom. Love your content, you’re super talented and you’ve saved me from blowing thousands of dollars on dwarven forge... you have given me the confidence to create my own high quality terrain. Thanks, Subbed
I'm a video game artist, and it is honestly super interesting to watch videos like this. You do so much of the stuff I do digitally, but in like... real life on minis! It's so interesting I wanna try it!! Thanks for the awesome videos
I was given a tip of cleaning hot glue wisps with a blow dryer, it doesn’t seem to burn the foam like a commercial hot air gun. Try low first and build up on test pieces. Awesome piece btw!!!
Letting you know as requested, that shiz was super inspiring!
I'm handing your essentials list to my wife for Father's Day.
That turned out awesome! The moss looks amazing.
When I first read the title of this I saw Hagrids hut rather than Hags hut. I don't think I've seen a better build! Bravo & Hazzah
This is an insanely good build. You are really hitting your stride. I could almost see this used as an "in the distance" movie prop. Good job man.
I appreciate mostly the part where you are adding details: great crafting work on them, and in my mind little details make every piece a greater piece. Nice job man, as always!
I think my favorite part about this build (and watching terrain crafting in general) is that this structure could have just as easily become a cozy cottage for a sweet grandpa gnome or something with basically no differences except a lighter shade wash and different decorative details (flowerpots and shrubbery instead of skulls and a noose)
One of my favorite builds I've found on RUclips! I've got to commit some time to making one myself.
Love seeing the progression and structure you've added to your videos over the years Jerome. Hope everything is going well for you and your family. It takes a lot of balls to give up a steady job to focus on a RUclips career. It looks like it is going well for you. Solid gains on viewership and follower count. Steady releases of great crafting videos. And plenty of improvements to techniques for everyone to bring up their crafting game with. Hope you and your family have all the best 2019 has to offer.
It would give you the creeps coming up to this in the woods in real life for sure..looks great 😀
holy heck, this is the cutest!! i love this build, very well done and really makes an impression!
That moss does look awesome; as does the whole spooky hut!
I keep coming back to this, it's so satisfying to watch 😁
if you use an acrylic gloss varnish before washing, your wash will flow a lot better and you can use thinners to remove the wash where it pools without worrying about removing your initial paint job
Straight up just beautiful art. Its so relaxing watching you work, feeling myself getting inspired, and then seeing it all come together.
Ah! THERE it is!! That looks really great! Creepy and dark, but spookily whimsical... Love it!
Wow, that is super cool. Definitely worth all the extra work.
Amazingly gorgeous build my man! Your moss trick really took this over the top.
Just found your channel recently, and this is the tutorial that really got me into action! So approachable and down to earth, and I really love when the story telling, DM side comes out - it’s ALL about the story, man! Thanks so much for all your great videos that you share. Keep up the awesomeness!
I can see your painting get better as the videos come along, well done keep it up
That was the first video that got me into the hobby. Was via a previous account of mine. But since that video I never missed another one.
I saw the final product posted on the Instagram and just had to watch the video to see how you got there. This is killer!
So amazing... Roof is amazing with the moss!
I saw the picture over on instagram and thought it looked awesome! Finally got time to check out the video, I love it.
I love watching you create such fantastic items. As I don't play games - I never have, even as a child, it might seem odd that I watch this, but I have made models, for about fifty odd years now, and you've shown me a lot of good ideas.

Creative and gorgeous, so many realistic details to enjoy, love the roof, stones, skull and owl, thumbs up!!
MY favorite build so far.
WOW, the dryer sheet cobwebs are a great idea.
THAT IS ONE SUPER SICK PIECE!!!! AWWEESOME!!!
This was really well done. Absolutely love it!!👍👍
That is really cool, the moss turned out pretty good. Sweet job
Love this build. Glad to see a build video like this, it has been awhile.
This is my first ever build and I'm almost done. Great content!
Wow, the new moss technique is sooooo much better than the standard of applying glue and sprinkling flocking over it. It just might be the best crafting invention since aluminium ball stone texture.
This build is absolutely stunning! Love it, this is a truly inspired piece and the moss looks amazing.
Dryer sheets! One of my favorite raw materials. The hut came out great, well done!
This is your best video yet. I'm loving the production values and what an awesome build
That is a fantastic witches hut! brilliant job putting it all together. i gotta say that hot wire cutter looks amazing! super cool it was inspired by a real witches hut!
That moss is really amazing!
I've been trying to figure out how to make a bent wood roof for a wizards tower I was working on. That tape technique is brilliant. Thank you so much, it has been driving me nuts trying to make one.
Nice build. Lots of character. I bet there are Hags queueing up to move in.
I liked the video within 10 seconds for the intro! Then subbed for the build!
Dude...sick.
This is master level work by any measure. Legit impressive.
Seriously have been waiting for more terrain builds from you! Glad to see a new one
Must not be watching closely. Crafting videos every Friday. This one is already a few months old.
Your crafts are amazing! I am from Brazil and learning a lot with these videos.
