I agree, these pieces look superb, and they offer a lot of tactical options. I hope to make a bunch up, both for my 2e AD&D games, but also for some 2e BattleSystem Skirmish games (a miniatures game with a thin veneer of RPG over the top -- combat is very fast, and very deadly, based on 2e AD&D rules): I would love to play out a scenario with Lizardmen against PC's, taking advantage of the climbable terrain! Fantastic project, with so much to offer for game play. And they are re-usable, many times over. I only make re-usable terrain, as storage space is at a premium. I can see employing these terrain pieces for my 2e BattleSystem mass war games, as well: "It's time to put a permanent end to these Lizardmens' 'horrid feasts', once and for all!" Thanks for this video! Brilliant, beautiful work. Cheers!
Mushroom forest has been on my wish list for a while, but wasn't sure how to approach it. I'll give it a try now. I also do like to the rope effect - I'm going to use that for a jungle forest for vines. I think that would work great.
These are absolutely stunning! I've been needing some larger pieces that aren't ruins or scrap, and I think some giant mushrooms might just be in order...
@@brokenterrain i already have devised a plan, my idea is to use tin foil and sculpty to make the mushroom itself i think that will allow for alot of interesting poses, the diviets and dimples/growths ill carve directly into the ceramic. I can use an extendable razor to make the gills on the underside but im still no postive on the stem, usually mushrooms have a flakey yet symmetrical stem and thats gunna be a pain to replicate haha, maybe just cut up pieces of paper and a layer of joint compound might do.. if you follow me on Instagram my handle is @treasuresandtowers might be like 2 or 3 weeks b4 i make it fully though... holidays and such
For a future attempt at the mini mushrooms, try putting hot glue in a cup of cool water to make strings or threads. Then using the same method you use to make the tops, snip parts of the dried hot glue strings and melt the tip and attach them to the tops. There are other demos of this technique; makes more organic shapes and doesn't require patience with pva glue. Cheers!
I love your crafts. But I honestly love your story-telling just as much! Edit: They have powders you can add to resin that glow-in-the-dark, and come in different colors. Would be super cool for the water, and even the mushrooms. You could do an Underdark or whatever with blacklight on.
Using that twine maybe thinned to just a few pieces glued to your mushroom stalks then covered with toilet paper/ white glue water mix might of had a very cool effect. The pools might of looked a little better by adding just a bit of bright green paint to the gorilla glue to give it a bit of opaque look.
@@brokenterrain I think that's one of the best things about this hobby and watching channels like yours. You get so many ideas then you look at what else might work and carry it further along. There's just so many ways to do things and with a think tank of hundreds and maybe thousands there is always new ideas coming forth to try. Thank you and the other people like you who take the time to make this great content and deliver it to us week after week you are very much appreciated.
Here's an idea. Outside observation do the dollops paint/ detail/ mod podge coat em then remove them and burn the end of the stick and put it in the mushroom caps. 🍄
I've been looking for a tutorial on something like this! I think this could be used in partial form to make a wall that's meant to represent a giant tree stump or similar, with the table-like mushrooms emerging from the side of the tree for climbing and rappelling adding a second dimension to your battles. I'll have to see what I can come up with!
The wall on Skull Island sprung to mind when you said that. How cool a giant stump walling in a castle or a whole town. Could even have a crane elevator type deal at the top. The possibilities are endless.
This may be one of the corniest channels I have ever seen, the dioramas are spectacular but I feel like the guy running the channel may be the most sterotypical middle aged father I have ever seen, It is facinating. Keep it up.
I think both have a place in this hobby. Handmade pieces can be made because they are too big to be easily made on a printer. And I don't feel the same sense of pride or accomplishment from a printed piece as I do from a made from scratch piece. Both ways are good but knowing scratch built stuff was just paper, cardboard, tinfoil, glue, sticks, rocks and trash and anything else your mind can think into shaping your world.
I know generally speaking Mushrooms and Toadstools don't have roots but I'm not bothered about that this is fantasy and those things look brilliant I built a Mushroom forest some time ago but they did not look as good as these wish I'd have put root structures on them. I based mine on an old movie "Journey to the centre of the earth" but they were quite generic I did do some different shapes and sizes and I did them in very bright weird colours I researched a lot of mushrooms and fungi --- I should have just ignored that and ran with my imagination. to get more working time out of you epoxy glue add some Isopropanol. I had this exact same thing happen to me when I first started using it. the stuff dried very quickly in the pot. Then I think I saw Luke of what was then Luke APS it's now Geek Gaming use this trick it makes the glue flow more easily too.
@@brokenterrain I am a big Horror movie and sci fi movie fan and that tends to bleed into my work sometimes without my realising it. It was one of my mates that pointed out that a lot of the shadows on my work are right out of the Old Universal Monster movies and my paint jobs echo Hammer films especially the use of blues and purples to intimate a darkness and the use of very bright blood on things that need it. the movies are something I just grew up with ( and they are really my First hobby I've been into collecting all things horror sci/fi since I was 9 years old.) I was surprised when he told me this. My other passions where Marvel and DC comics but they have never had the same influence on my as movies I don't know why that is perhaps it's the fact comics colouring is very cartoony I'm not sure.

These mushrooms are phenomenal going to add them to my underdark terrain
I love passionate you are about this! I'm obsessed with mushrooms and I think a fungal forest is in my future. Awesome video!
Thank you so much for checking out the video.
Great shrooms. I really like your lichen.

i like the naturel colors of the water . the roots man that idea thankyou

I had so much fun with this project. The exaggerated roots are a game changer. You'll love them!
Wow! Your fungal forest looks great!
Such a cool project!!!! This build has my mind all over the place on how to use this build! Love it!!!!
Very nice! Yes the roots are great!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love them would like to see and underdark version!!!
I love these colors!
And I love that you love these colors.😁
I love this build! Now where's my foam?!
Brilliant video! Very informative and entertaining. Thank you :)
Gorgeous build!! Loving your work.
This set is one of my personal favorites.
Excellent work!
Glad I'm not the only one whose conure tries to get involved with my crafting sessions, lol. 😂
He loves "helping" 🤣
Yo these mushrooms are fricken dooooooooope!!!!!! Absooutley love it man, ive been wanting to make mushrooms but ive been hesitant haha
Thanks Aaron. This is a great project and I hope this video has made you confident enough to create your own set.

Awesome 👍. Reminds me a Bit of the Game Ark: the Aberration Map.
I'm super happy with this project. Perhaps my favorite. Thanks for watching.
Good job man! I dig the shroom swamp
Thanks. It was so much fun to make.
Amazing! I'm so glad to have found this tutorial! ❤️
Glad you like it!

Black light would have made that project amazing!
@@brokenterrain No worries. The project already was amazing. Blacklight would have just been another way to showcase it :)
This is fantastic
One of my favorite builds.
Love it dude! Can't wait to try these myself!
Please do. I think this set of scatter never got its due. One of my favorites. Share with me on Instagram if you're so inclined.

Guilty as charged
Beautifully done. Luvin your style
I stopped making my own terrain after I got a 3D printer... but these are so awesome, you have inspired me to try my hand at these.
Thank you very much.

That is a great tip for the glue. I find landing on a spot in the middle of reality and imagination works best for me.

@@andytate5670 Do you ever watch FrankyDCrafter channel? He does his builds and has a very cartoony look with his builds that you may really like.
I am guessing to add weight, but if not why the washers? Just curious.
Great guess. The xps foam is very light. The washers help add a bit of weight and stability.
Это все грибы....
