Let me know if you like these type of videos and want to see more of them in between the major build videos I will continue to focus on with the channel. If so, suggest away a topic you may like me to cover in the future.
Real Terrain Hobbies This was awesome! If you're planning to make more texture rollers with more designs (especially cobblestone), I'd definitely like to see that!
This is GREAT!!! I always in difficult on finding texture roller in indonesia but always find DAS clay in my bookstore.this is really helpfull.its easy and the material is easily bought.thanks
Daym😳 I never would have guess that was how you made the roller, thank you so much this was very helpful. I can’t get over the fact the ACTUALLY PEBBLES were used... just amazing
Thanks Aaron. Glad to hear these are able to help you out. Good luck on your roller! Takes a bit of patience with the stones, but worth it once you have your finished too all said and done.
So I went down to RUclips rabbit hole looking to find a way to make realistic rock texture for a light-up lighthouse clay/jute mixed media sculpture I'm making for Mother's Day and lo and behold I find your amazing video, you are a freaking genius dude! I can't thank you enough, I'm so stoked now to do this!
I like it. Texture roller works great. Looking forward to the rest of the Wizard Tower build and would really love to see the Inn & Tavern build when it's completed. Tips and tricks vids in between are most welcome. Great content.
Awesome, glad to hear it. Yeah I'm trying to get the tower out ASAP then finish up the Tavern. I''ll keep out with these tips and tricks as well. They dont take away too much time from the bigger builds, which is perfect.
thanks so much for this video,ive been trying to find a cobble stone roler,and now I can make it myself..thanks so much for your advise and great videos.
awsome video, very cool rolling pin you made there. I found that (for me personally) it was easier putting the clay directly on my foamboard pieces 1st and then going over with the textured roller. After that i cut away the clay at the edges.. But again, my personal prefrence. But it would not be possible at all if it wasn't for your great tutorial on how to make it, so thanks alot mate, really!
Awesome. Yeah I did do a little of that on my tower build. I found pressing it down firm enough was an issue though when tring to go that rout so I mostly just ended up rolling it out first and then putting it on. If you got it to work well that way for you though then that's all that matters! :)
Ummmm I LLLLLOOOOVVVVEEEEE this roller, I love the look of this kind of brick or w.e and use it allot...I would do it all by hand it is such a time eater. Will be making one tomorrow!!
Thumbs up for the texture roller, I've been thinking about how to make one for some time. I only wish I could thumbs up again for Baldurs Gate music... 😊
Thank you for sharing. So far the best homemade texture roll i ve seen on RUclips, and I ve been checking quite a few. I like the result very much. Somebody else didn't like them, well you can always use some tools to get your desired result. May i ask what glue you have used for adhering the clay to the bottle? Thanks.
Hi, this is really smart indeed. Creating your own tools according to your need. - You said "make sure the clay dries and hardens 24 hrs before spraying with varnish". Is it drying by itself or do you bake it at low temperature to help the drying process ? - Why using Varnish prime ? You are mastering the topic !
hmm... hints, hints... We'll go with "snow" for now. Looking forward to doing some higher quality stuff and trying to flesh out some realistic snowy winter terrain. I was inspired to do snow after seeing this amazing job done on this Tabletop World building and hopefully replicate the amazing attention to detail done by this individual: tabletop-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/aFront-neu.jpg
Can't wait to see it; I'm a war gamer and have been toying with the idea of making a snow themed table, something like a gulag or work prison, with snow drifts, frozen creeks and lake, things like that
Alright, you've convinced me. I tried 3D printing a roller with less than satisfactory results. I guess I'll just have to make one the old fashioned way.
Very interesting. I originally thought the clay was to become a mold for resin or plastic. I was pleasantly surprised when the obviously dried and hardened clay became the tool. One question, at the very end you cut out a very large portion of the tower, why? Curious minds want to know. Thanks for another great tutorial.
Ah yes I forgot to actually mention to make sure the clay dries and hardens 24 hrs before spraying with varnish. But yea, works great! As for the tower, I cut out that portion so you'll be able to get a look inside the tower once things all said and done. I'm going to be using some vines and brambles afterward to hopefully his the seam around the edges. Going to do what I can anyway to hid the seam for a "seamless" look.
I model in N Scale for my model railroad. Making the clay roller impressions 'one stone' at a time wasn't possible. The stones were just TOO big. So I cut a piece of 1/16" thick basswood 1.5" diameter circle. Then filled the surface with small stones. About 50 of them. I added CA glue to lock them in place. Now I had a round stamp and I could do 50 small impressions at a time and stay in scale. My roller measures 1 inch diameter and 2.5" wide. Great for cobblestone road or walls.
I used PL Premium. I put a link in the description but it is called "Liquid Nails." Pretty much the exact same thing. They don't have PL Premium on amazon for whatever reason but the Liquid Nails glue will bind to both the plastic and clay just the same. This is the link here: amzn.to/2URPy1T
That was awesome.. new to the channel..have a lot to catch up on but wow!. What an awesome tip.. so much easier than fooling with foam. I know it has its place but this way has some serious possibilities.. love what your doing budro.. quick question. I might have missed it but just to confirm, you let the clay dry before you sealed it with the varnish??
What is the difference between the 2 air dry clays? Do you let the first one dry on the roller before you spray it? What did you use to glue it to the roller.
LOVE the concept...Please tell us what did you put on the roller at 7 min 54 sec to adhere the cover on to the roller...it looked like peanut butter...how long did you let the roller harden up before applying the varnish
From a reply to a previous comment, he used PL Premium. Liquid Nails-or a similar product- will work just as well. There's an Amazon link in the description for Liquid Nails
So im just starting with modeling , therefor two maybe beginners questions Both clays you use, for the roll and then for the tower, i assume harden out afterwards so that the cobble texture stays in shape? Do you think this is also suitable to make a cobblestone road for my christmas village i am building? Thx for any tipps!

Cobblestone sounds like a great idea, think I'll give that one a go!
Akbar 7g
Awesome, glad to hear.:)
Very good idea mate, give us more :p i'm looking forward: Keep up the very good work
speaking for all metric users thank you for converting
MrKittke especially as only 3 countries Don’t use metric
I gave it up lol. Our system is unnecessarily annoying, and the metric system just makes more sense and is MUCH easier when scaling and engineering.
Thank you everybody that make these videos. Definitely helps us beginners a lot. Love scratch build stuff. Pure art
Tutorial starts at 6:20

"Yes? Oh omnipresent authority figure?" ;)
Great one man. This is genius... I've never thought of this trick.
Probably the best idea I've ever discovered thank you.
I appreciate your contribution to the craft and always look forward to seeing new offerings from you. Thank you! Now off to go make one of these :)

Awesome, glad to hear. :)
Gracias por compartir voy a hacer la moldura. Sus trabajos son hermosos Felicitaciones.
Super epic. Just had this idea the other day, but wasnt sure it would work. So glad I found your stuff!
I was about to order a few rollers
Best tip yet. Also never thought of gluing clay
Perfect! Yeah it glues really well. The roller is solid.
I am making stuffed peppers as I watch this. So kool
Thanks for the idea!
As always very well made video and very informative. Thank you!
Thanks Robert. :)
Well this is just genius! Here I am waiting for moulds to come in the mail. Damn it!
This looks a lot easier than dremelling a pvc pipe. I'm definitely going to give this a go
Very cool idea.Very creative! thank you for you work! Greetings from Germany!
Thank you Sir for sharing your great talent
This video is great, your channel in general, thank you
Very well done, great video
Nice job thx 4 showing how you made it
I have only played D&D once and I don't make models or anything, but I think the stuff you do is so cool!
uu. love the baldur's gate music.
Hi, I am thinking doing one texture roller for dungeon walls and a medieval castle that ask me my child. Thanks a lot for this tutorial!
super awesome, good skill. great handwork.
I love this channel so much.
Very interesting! Will have to give making my own rollers a try.
Excellent! Takes a bit of patience to make them with all the rock impressions, but they're a great tool to have once you've made em!
Clever, realisitc and superb, have to try it on my 15mm terrain, thanks!
Thanks man! Definitely give it a go just using smaller stones.
Thank you now i can make this to my own.. More fast and easy to my diorama.. Thank you for sharing....
Thanks, and good luck with your diorama :)
Me like it! Kudos!
This would make for some really nice Oldhammer terrain for gaming and display of those old beloved miniature armies from days long past.
Love the Baldurs Gate soundtrack!!
Thank you for the video.
You're talent is glorious
Cool video, I'm a step before beginner haha, just learning as much as I can before attempting anything.. thanks for the information
Thanks for this video - the home made roller is a great idea. I'll definitely be giving this a go!
Awesome, hope it goes well!
sweet, i think this technique can be use to make a wall roll in 1/35 scale too, just need some brick/wall base as mold to press on the clay fist
Love this
really creative , wow😌🤩
excellent work
Thank you so much for this.
Excellent!!!!!
Pretty clever!
Nice one! 👍
Love the music
Very cool!
This is sick! Thanks! :D

Haha, thanks man. Yea, gotta love the Baldur's Gate music. :)
OMG THANK U SO MUCH.
I'm going to try to make this with my homemade clay to see if it works.
Amazing!
Thanks! :)
Спасибо! Интересно, доступно, понятно!
Dude, that baldurs gate theme in the background got me like "wtf am I Young again?!?!?!"
رائع😍 احسنت العمل 👏
انا من العراق🇮🇶
Nice one, Neil. I really like the effect...thanks for the demo - need to make a few texture rollers!
Thanks Heather! They're great! Thing I might go with a seamless patterned cobble stone next.
@@RealTerrainHobbies I love that idea - show us how!
Haha this is intelligent and cute idea bro ❤️
Tutorial on how to make the roller actually stats at 6:13
Thanks bro
Been working with foam (works the same way with a roller) but I’m about to order so of this clay it looks soo much easier to use
I used XPS foam for years until I tried air dry clay, I haven't used foam since! Chavant clay is even better to work with 👌
Baldurs Gate Music!!! Great! :D
Thank you for sharing. So far the best homemade texture roll i ve seen on RUclips, and I ve been checking quite a few. I like the result very much. Somebody else didn't like them, well you can always use some tools to get your desired result. May i ask what glue you have used for adhering the clay to the bottle? Thanks.
Baldur’s Gate theme is such a nice touch
Bravo😍
Hi, this is really smart indeed. Creating your own tools according to your need.
- You said "make sure the clay dries and hardens 24 hrs before spraying with varnish". Is it drying by itself or do you bake it at low temperature to help the drying process ?
- Why using Varnish prime ?
You are mastering the topic !
Is there a difference between the orange clay and the white one?
You were great in OZ.
Thx 👍
Always good to see your vids up, cant wait to see that wizard tower all finished up.
Any hints on any future projects you're thinking about starting?
hmm... hints, hints... We'll go with "snow" for now. Looking forward to doing some higher quality stuff and trying to flesh out some realistic snowy winter terrain.

Alright, you've convinced me. I tried 3D printing a roller with less than satisfactory results. I guess I'll just have to make one the old fashioned way.
Too bad the 3d print didn't work out for ya but this method definitely gives some great results!
Just a small idea I had:
Fill a tub full of small stones, fix the clay on the roll and just roll it in the tub.
That might save a lot of time!
could work. Not sure how even that would turn out but you could give it a try!
Freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!! thanks so much for posting this. Just joined your channel.. looking forward to checking out your videos.
Thanks man, happy to have you on board! :)

UNA BUENA IDEA MAGNIFICO LO ARE YO MUY BIEN UN SALUDO DESDE ESPAÑA ANIMO

Хорошая идея. Лайк!
Спасибо! :)
Nice! Those bricks look realer than your workstation background!! lol
lol hey dont diss the faux brick! It's better than what was there before! XD
Baldur's Gate soundtrack
Ya man.😎
Subscribed! :)
I knew I recognized that music.

This reminds me of the time I made raviolis.
Great vid! just one question.. what type of glue did you use to stick the clay to the plastic bottle ?
I used PL Premium. I put a link in the description but it is called "Liquid Nails." Pretty much the exact same thing. They don't have PL Premium on amazon for whatever reason but the Liquid Nails glue will bind to both the plastic and clay just the same. This is the link here: amzn.to/2URPy1T
Any idea on how this type of roller works on XPS foam? That’s my preferred medium, and I would love to have a roller for it.
That was awesome.. new to the channel..have a lot to catch up on but wow!. What an awesome tip.. so much easier than fooling with foam. I know it has its place but this way has some serious possibilities.. love what your doing budro.. quick question. I might have missed it but just to confirm, you let the clay dry before you sealed it with the varnish??
Sorry for the ate response but yes I definitely give the clay a good 24 hours dry time first.
❤️

Great video....just one question, what are the two types of glue you are using 1st for the roller and 2nd for the tower. Love watching your videos
Thanks!🙂. For the tower I used PL Premium, or its also called liquid nails, no nails etc. The tower I just used PVA or wood glue.
What did you glue the clay onto the bottle with? It would be helpful in future to have some text come up on screen for those kinds of things. :)
I wanted to ask that too!
From a reply to a previous comment, he used PL Premium. Liquid Nails-or a similar product- will work just as well. There's an Amazon link in the description for Liquid Nails
I used this same clay after watching this video and I just used regular super glue and it’s stuck just fine
So im just starting with modeling , therefor two maybe beginners questions
Both clays you use, for the roll and then for the tower, i assume harden out afterwards so that the cobble texture stays in shape?
Do you think this is also suitable to make a cobblestone road for my christmas village i am building?
