It is really interesting how much you as a youtuber and your technique improved. I started watching your channel only recently so finding this was unexpected but still enjoyable to watch. Its probably unlikely that you will read this comment on such an old video, but if by chance you do: holy shiet, you went far. Congratulations!
How is nobody commenting on the ingenius terrain platform thats lit underneath for character sheets?! Dude, that solves like 15 problems at my gaming table. .
I’m a couple of years late to the party, but what has me psyched about this is that you can make modules (such as raised decks at the back or widened/lengthened sections) that can be removable like the sail, and so have a ship that can look completely different every time you put it on the gameboard! Love these projects and the channel!
I just found this template on 4/16/2023. This is the only template I have found for D&D. I just want to say thank you so much, I am making this for my DM for our next session, but I am modifying it to have a lower deck that's accessible.
Has it really been 8 years since this video came out? This was new the first time I watched it. I got the plans, put it together, although my paint job is nowhere near as awesome as yours. Eventually led me to purchase a Proxon through your link. Glad to see you are still crafting and posting videos, so many channels have come and gone.
I freaking love this design and the execution. I'm going to make about 3 of these for my Con game coming up. I need quick and easy ships and you nailed it my friend.
After a few months of watching your content, I've decided this will be my first rpg crafting project. Thanks for sharing and keep on doing what you do man.
I showed the ship I made fro. This tutorial to a Facebook group I'm in...sharing this video there...they wanted me to make a tutorial....but this is all you my man!
Very good job, it looks great and no doubt would fit the purpose of anyone's DnD campaign. I love the paint job and the imagination put into it. I would recommend for any future builds, adding a rudder, shields along the sides of the long boat and oar racks with oars. Adding trap doors on the deck for storage is also a nifty lil extra to any design. Keep up the good work and keep the content coming.
This project is phenomenal! I followed your link to DriveThru RPG and downloaded the template. Thank you for making it "Pay What You Want". I threw a few bucks at you, and I hope everyone else is able to do the same. You deserve the support.
Great tutorial! I am now inspired to make a giant Viking ship the same way for 6 in. action figures. i was cosidering foam board before, but your success and technique has sold me on the idea. The only critisism is that the sail is much too small for a ship that size, but probably more practical that way for wargaming purposes. Thanks for sharing this!
I really do like your tutorials on table top crafting and this one was no exception. A couple of small things, however; besides the fact that the longships were not full decked like this model, but rater fitted with rowing benches - and this is quite understandable because this IS for miniatures to be placed on. Of course one could make the benches by making a small height difference (foam thickness?) between "benches" placed across the hull and make it difficult terrain, making the lower ones wood-grained along the length of the ship. The railing would most certainly not be panelled on the inside by vertical planks, in stead you would see both the horizontal planks of the hull and the ribs on the inside of them. Also, full sized longships would not have hull length hull planks as that would require trees of enormous height as well as diameter, the planks would be shorter and be butted at the main ribs. And if we are getting REALLY pedantic, longships were clinkerbuilt (planks overlapping for strength and sea worthiness) not carvel built - but that would be time consuming and not really worth the effort. I do not have anything close to your building skills, but I would like to try to make a model with the suggested changes (I say changes, not improvements, because that would imply a better product and that is unlikely) I do look forward to your nexr tutorial.
Me and a friend are working on a naval campaign to co-DM next year, and this weekend we created our first boat following this tutorial. It was kind of a pain to find the materials in our country, but after we gathered all we needed, the damn thing looks freaking great so far, thank you so much for this tutorial! We're now waiting for our PVA glue to arrive to coat it and apply the paint; we've been idealizing templates for other boat formats, first and foremost a caravel, if we manage to create something that works I'd love to send it to you and maybe you can later make a video on it ^^
Great Template and Build! I have been drooling over a huge store bought terrain ship in my local Comic Shop recently, but just couldn't bring myself to shell out $350! After watching your video I feel inspired to try to MAKE one for my D&D groups next campaign. Thanks do much for everything you do on your channel!!!!
This was great. Please consider a modern/Post-Ap boat. Can’t be much more than this modified hull + some rectangular bunker + antennas. With your talent, that can end up amazing and doable by beginners. 🙏🏼✨
Great to mention, if you don't have a color printer, check out your local public library. They can generally print for pretty cheap. My library actually does a certain amount of printing for free.
this looks great. I'm wanting to run the Saltmarsh "campaign" where I start with the players on a slave ship where they must escape. Always wanted to have a ship they could earn and use. So this will let them see a physical representation of what they can acquire.
Mind Blown! I have been making D&D style Dioramas and Custom figures in 1:18 scale for years. I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have been binge watching the last 2 days. So many of your techniques can be applied to my Dio-Builds. I've already made a huge dungeon wall using Styrofoam. I'd love to see your take on a Trojan Horse.
Thank you for reminding me I had to go to bed (I have a bus to drive in the morning). However, I watched this first. Amazing build. I'm going to have to figure out if I can build a waka (Maori canoe), as I'm neither an artist nor a builder.
Great build! Two thoughts. First, it wouldn't take much to mod it into a Greek or Roman ship. Two, using a steel washer on the mast and a magnet in the ship
You are an excellent teacher good sir! Simple and to the point. Thank you. By the way, I've started watching your channel and have been impressed with all your builds...thanks again!
Awesome job dude, gonna have to make some also. I may lay strips of cereal box cardboard starting from the bottom and overlap them to make it look like it is clinker built. Great video.
at hobby lobby in the pen/pencil/ink section there is a pack of 20 stationary, that is made to look 'old' and crinkled. its about 9 dollars, and if you're carful, you can send it through a printer, and itll take any image just fine. though it's very easy to get it jammed in there. but i think its worth it. i think it would work great for a ship.
so, i used the template partially but i'm making a double decker pirate ship out of it so i made a few adjustments and i'm loving it so far. i also used clay on it and Popsicle sticks. but man not having an exacto knife sucks.... ive been using a kitchen knife
I'd like to see a few ropes on there. Detailed "proper" rigging would probably really get in the way of a playable tabletop set-piece. For anyone who wants to add some rigging for extra flavor, you could probably put in a bit more time and detail, but this is a great place to start (just keep in mind that minis are supposed to move around on the deck). This isn't model ship making, that's an entirely different hobby. XD
this is a neet project! the design is awesome and i really like the idea of the interchangeable sails. im definitely going to try this method of making a boat.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Hey! I’m sure I will. I’ve got it printed out, haven’t started on it yet. I hope you got over your cold from 8 years ago lol.
Hi Jeremy, great build! I am equally interested in that water board under your boat. Any chance you'd want to cover a water board build? I would love to know how you textured it and paint etc. I haven't found much content on something like this, and I also don't want to spend the high prices attached to printed mats. Thanks!
I hit Like just for the great intro, now wishing I could Like it twice for the build itself! I'm planning my first campaign, which involves a shipwreck. I was originally planning to just have the players wake up cold and half-drowned on the beach with the shipwreck only being described in the backstory.. but damn, now I am sorely tempted to back things up and write something that can take place on the ship itself just so I have an excuse to build this!
You should also build my tentacles and have the adventure start on the ship, fighting a kraken with now hope for victory....shipwreck! Thats what I did, well not to start, but what one session was....then they spent a while on a mysterious island
Does your mast just rest on the deck? Or did you use a magnet? It looks like you made a small indent between coating it in PVA/water mix and priming it, but you never really say.
It just rests. That hole was an accident actually. I used Goop to glue the dowel to the plastic circle. I placed it on the boat to soon and left it sitting there. The glue ate away the styrofoam a bit in the perfect circle of the dowel. I then thought I should make use of it and add a magnet, bout some that were about the same size as the indent and tried it out, but they were cheap magnets and were too weak to make a difference. So mine just rests, which is fine for getting used once and a while for a home game. If you are planning anything more than that, I think you posted about using boats at a con? Then I would get some good quality strong magnets and use those so the mast doesn't fall over when someone inevitably bumps something.
Ive been rewatching your videos while cutting endless amoubts of bricks and in some of them you ask for projects to make in the future. How about a wooden bridge, but a bridge that would be acceptable to use in both a dungeon/underground setting and a outdoor "crossing a ravine" setting. So it would be usable more than once in different settings.
Good idea. Doing a wooden bridge would be a a pretty easy project, making one that works in both settings may be a little trickier, I'll think it over.
I could not find that kind of form anywhere in my town. So, I have to get some that I got at Lowe's. It's a lot thicker, but I think it'll work. We'll see.
Thank you sir, and I'd love to see you finished build. Post pics on my facebook, or the dmscotty fb group, or if you don't use those shoot em in an email to jpillipow@gmail.com Cheers!
I've seen about 20 of your videos so far. you were early on the whole saltmarsh sea stuff. My daughter is into how to train your dragon which got me back into D&D. Thanks for all your work. More just thanks, it's helped me be cool in her eyes. how about a viking ship?
I have a few issues with the build itself, it is however good for D&D. But wouldn't an old white tshirt be better for making the sails? When they're docked, they would roll up their sails any way.
Ok.....yea you could use a fabric, would look good, could be rolled up....I wanted to have an image printed so paper makes the most sense. These tutorials are a starting point for people, it is assumed viewers will alter to suit their needs. This build suited my needs.
Black Magic Craft true. What I always tell people when they're asking me about what I think of their painted minis; are you pleased? so aslong as the creator is pleased its good.
I've seen that ship before! At the end of season 8 episode 6 of game of Thrones... spooky... since this video is over 3 years old... Where you on the props department?
It's on the list of vids to make, but since it might be a bit, here is the short form tutorial. Base is a big piece of 1 1/2" blue insulation foam. I took some drywall compound and watered it down with a mix of 50/50 water and pva. I spread this all over the board and then took a damp paint roller and rolled it over the mud to give it the texture and create the little waves. Once it was all dry I spray painted the whole thing blue with a light mist of aqua. I then very lightly drybrushed white on to the very tips of the texture. To finish it all off I gave it 3 or so heavy coats of spray gloss varnish. Hope that helps :D
wow....it looks great! This was going to be my question as well. The ship is incredible and I can't wait to build it and surprise my players :D Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful tutorials!
Thanks. I havn't done a tutorial for the water board yet because it is a big messy project that I havnt felt like doing again, lol. It is essentially just a big piece of blue foam covered in watered down drywall joint compound (with some pva added), I then use a wet paint roller to get the wave texture....then paint and gloss clear coat.
Great Tutorial! I'm a bit new to crafting and this was super helpful!!!! I'm thinking about trying to fashion some empty foam "crates" to hide minis in ^^
holy cow! a video before black mod podge!
It is really interesting how much you as a youtuber and your technique improved. I started watching your channel only recently so finding this was unexpected but still enjoyable to watch. Its probably unlikely that you will read this comment on such an old video, but if by chance you do: holy shiet, you went far. Congratulations!
Expl0sive Hewk hahahah took the words right outa my mouth. Whole reason my daughter and I craft is cause of Jeremy; love this guy
It's 1:45 and I've got work in the morning. This opener really hit home :(
lol, I knew that would get someone
Although I don't have work I should be sleeping...
How is nobody commenting on the ingenius terrain platform thats lit underneath for character sheets?!
Dude, that solves like 15 problems at my gaming table.
.
Holy sheet!! I JUST noticed that raised table!! THAT'S GENIUS!! Mind...blown...
I’m a couple of years late to the party, but what has me psyched about this is that you can make modules (such as raised decks at the back or widened/lengthened sections) that can be removable like the sail, and so have a ship that can look completely different every time you put it on the gameboard!
Love these projects and the channel!
I just finished building this ship using your template. Thank you for putting that out there, it was incredibly helpful!
awesome, enjoy
I just found this template on 4/16/2023. This is the only template I have found for D&D.
I just want to say thank you so much, I am making this for my DM for our next session, but I am modifying it to have a lower deck that's accessible.
AFTER 8 COMPLETE EPISODES, I AM TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE GOING FULL TIME!! CONGRATS!
Black wash on the wood, simple but never occurred to me, for accentuating the wood grain. Rockin.
Yup I'll be doing it on all wood texture from now on. Love how well it works.
Well ships decks was either tared or pitched so... Works for me
Has it really been 8 years since this video came out? This was new the first time I watched it. I got the plans, put it together, although my paint job is nowhere near as awesome as yours.

Awesome! pleas share some photos of the games at the con, I'd love to see that :D
holly shit that intro. Well goodnight i guess...
lol
Don't you mean holy ship.
I was going for same and though there should be someone before me aaand there it is 😂

Got the template, 6 hours later I'm done. Awesome project, thank you!
The boat looks great. I like how you made the mast take-apart, so that you can reuse the boat again.
Yea I'm hoping to get more then one session out of it
Wow... Making one of these is awesome! DESIGNING one is another thing entirely. I’m amazed!
Would love to see you do an updated version of this !!
I actually do have work in the morning, lol, I better sleep (2am), Have enjoyed watching your craft, I shall return. From that guy.
Want to say that I love your work and hope to use this in a diorama for my warhammer 40k space wolfs build that I’ve got going on right now.
I bet with all your skills that improved over the years; you can do an upgraded version of this. With a Black Pearl like lore 😁
i was looking for a decent longboat ship and here i am thanks great tutorial!
There ya go man
This was great. Please consider a modern/Post-Ap boat. Can’t be much more than this modified hull + some rectangular bunker + antennas. With your talent, that can end up amazing and doable by beginners. 🙏🏼✨
love these old videos !!!!
after a handful of failed 3d prints i may be doing this
Great to mention, if you don't have a color printer, check out your local public library. They can generally print for pretty cheap. My library actually does a certain amount of printing for free.

Sweet build! Fingers crossed for more ship builds...
Perhaps now we can try something more elaborate
Mind Blown! I have been making D&D style Dioramas and Custom figures in 1:18 scale for years. I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have been binge watching the last 2 days. So many of your techniques can be applied to my Dio-Builds. I've already made a huge dungeon wall using Styrofoam. I'd love to see your take on a Trojan Horse.
Even though my Paladin likes to smite things related to black magic, he will let this one slide because it's so amazing. Seriously great stuff.
nice
Thank you for reminding me I had to go to bed (I have a bus to drive in the morning). However, I watched this first. Amazing build. I'm going to have to figure out if I can build a waka (Maori canoe), as I'm neither an artist nor a builder.
The intro for this is perfect ... although it's only half 5pm, so imma buckle up
A whole ship? I'm hooked! I don't even make this stuff. I'm just so interested in how you make these things lol
Great build! Two thoughts. First, it wouldn't take much to mod it into a Greek or Roman ship. Two, using a steel washer on the mast and a magnet in the ship
You are an excellent teacher good sir! Simple and to the point. Thank you. By the way, I've started watching your channel and have been impressed with all your builds...thanks again!
Thanks!
Just found you because I was looking for how to make a viking ship. Great Find! And looks like you have lots of great videos!
Love this! I'd probably use a 'cheap' cloth to make the sail, just so it would added realism.
Love the choice of sail template design, having a great watch of your videos getting into terrain building. 😁
Awesome job dude, gonna have to make some also. I may lay strips of cereal box cardboard starting from the bottom and overlap them to make it look like it is clinker built. Great video.
Sounds cool to me.
Great build. Mine is just about finished. I'm thinking about scaling up the templates and making a larger one to be used by frost giants.
at hobby lobby in the pen/pencil/ink section there is a pack of 20 stationary, that is made to look 'old' and crinkled. its about 9 dollars, and if you're carful, you can send it through a printer, and itll take any image just fine. though it's very easy to get it jammed in there. but i think its worth it. i think it would work great for a ship.
Awesome, and fairly easy, ship! Also, I am loving your table setup!
To be honest I ditched that set up a long time ago for a custom table with a recessed play area, total opposite of this set up.
so, i used the template partially but i'm making a double decker pirate ship out of it so i made a few adjustments and i'm loving it so far. i also used clay on it and Popsicle sticks. but man not having an exacto knife sucks.... ive been using a kitchen knife
man....get a damn utility knife. seriously, worth the few $
Great video. Well done. My son and I have been working on it and having a lot of fun.
That was on of the best ways I saw to build a ship. I love your channel dude. Your videos have helped alot with me. Thanks
Awesome, thank you
I'd like to see a few ropes on there. Detailed "proper" rigging would probably really get in the way of a playable tabletop set-piece. For anyone who wants to add some rigging for extra flavor, you could probably put in a bit more time and detail, but this is a great place to start (just keep in mind that minis are supposed to move around on the deck).

this is a neet project! the design is awesome and i really like the idea of the interchangeable sails. im definitely going to try this method of making a boat.
Look forward to seeing it😁
I reshaped the bow and stern so it curves inwards as it goes down, it looks a bit better that way I think. Love the ship though keep up the good work!
Some round "wooden" shields mounted along the sides of the ship would be fairly easy to add and could give the longship some color and detail.
That would look great, and be pretty easy to do!
I'm absolutely sending you some cash from this. This is exactly what I need
I just paid 1$ for the template! Looking forward to making my own thank you Jeremy!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Hey! I’m sure I will. I’ve got it printed out, haven’t started on it yet. I hope you got over your cold from 8 years ago lol.
Great video looking forward to trying this myself
Hi Jeremy, great build! I am equally interested in that water board under your boat. Any chance you'd want to cover a water board build? I would love to know how you textured it and paint etc. I haven't found much content on something like this, and I also don't want to spend the high prices attached to printed mats. Thanks!
I hit Like just for the great intro, now wishing I could Like it twice for the build itself! I'm planning my first campaign, which involves a shipwreck.

You should also build my tentacles and have the adventure start on the ship, fighting a kraken with now hope for victory....shipwreck! Thats what I did, well not to start, but what one session was....then they spent a while on a mysterious island
Thanks for suggesting a free template that costs money. I'll make my own.
It’s pay what you want......as in you can pay $0 🤦♂️
This is totally awesome work
Thanks Max
Really nice work...I'M going to start on this ship and see how I do thanks for sharing....James
Good luck!
This is a great guide, but I have to wonder if you would do it differently now? Maybe a revisit video series? Thanks for all the great videos!
So glad you followed through on the water board bud
Me too.
Does your mast just rest on the deck? Or did you use a magnet? It looks like you made a small indent between coating it in PVA/water mix and priming it, but you never really say.
It just rests. That hole was an accident actually. I used Goop to glue the dowel to the plastic circle. I placed it on the boat to soon and left it sitting there. The glue ate away the styrofoam a bit in the perfect circle of the dowel. I then thought I should make use of it and add a magnet, bout some that were about the same size as the indent and tried it out, but they were cheap magnets and were too weak to make a difference. So mine just rests, which is fine for getting used once and a while for a home game. If you are planning anything more than that, I think you posted about using boats at a con? Then I would get some good quality strong magnets and use those so the mast doesn't fall over when someone inevitably bumps something.
Loved the opener lol... that’s kinda how I found your channel 😊
My first build is the deck and below decks modeled after this build but I used Mod Podge and the black wash recipe, dungeon stairs video.
Ive been rewatching your videos while cutting endless amoubts of bricks and in some of them you ask for projects to make in the future. How about a wooden bridge, but a bridge that would be acceptable to use in both a dungeon/underground setting and a outdoor "crossing a ravine" setting. So it would be usable more than once in different settings.
Good idea. Doing a wooden bridge would be a a pretty easy project, making one that works in both settings may be a little trickier, I'll think it over.
When you said "Guy who just realized that he wondered into that weird part of youtube" I dying.
Add Viking shields at both sides to look great!
Really awesome and seems pretty simple thanks BMC!
Yup it's pretty easy considering the finished product
Best intro ever!
Superb video and great piece. I need to make like 5 of them!
Make a whole fleet, each with a different cool figurehead!
I could not find that kind of form anywhere in my town. So, I have to get some that I got at Lowe's. It's a lot thicker, but I think it'll work. We'll see.
"Dude go to bed, you got work in the morning"
I've never been called out so hard hahaha
this video is still great to watch
I want to figure out how to do galleons and other sailing ships out of foam. Also airships eberron style with led rings of fire
That is beautiful work. It's one thing to chop some styrofoam into a rock shape, but this is just fantastic.
FANTASTIC! Thanks!
Awesome Video! Planning to have a crack at this at the weekend. How'd you do the sea board?
Professional hand... ❤️
I sadly haven't been able to find any polystyrene...so I'm going to try and build it with only the foam core. Wish me luck
I know what I'm going to work on next. This is awesome!
Have fun!
Cool build, thanks for the template! I dropped a 5-spot in the bucket for your trouble. Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir, and I'd love to see you finished build. Post pics on my facebook, or the dmscotty fb group, or if you don't use those shoot em in an email to jpillipow@gmail.com
Cheers!
I'm going to give this a try. I'll let you know how it turns out. Wish me luck!
Good luck starfox!
I've seen about 20 of your videos so far. you were early on the whole saltmarsh sea stuff. My daughter is into how to train your dragon which got me back into D&D. Thanks for all your work. More just thanks, it's helped me be cool in her eyes. how about a viking ship?
Just saved me like 400 bucks from buying the “dnd wizkids falling star ship”
I love it! Vikings! YES!!!
I have a few issues with the build itself, it is however good for D&D. But wouldn't an old white tshirt be better for making the sails? When they're docked, they would roll up their sails any way.
Ok.....yea you could use a fabric, would look good, could be rolled up....I wanted to have an image printed so paper makes the most sense. These tutorials are a starting point for people, it is assumed viewers will alter to suit their needs. This build suited my needs.
Black Magic Craft true. What I always tell people when they're asking me about what I think of their painted minis; are you pleased? so aslong as the creator is pleased its good.
Printed fabric? Or acrylic paint and fabric medium?
That cutting mat looks so new here.
Wow that is absolutely amazing!!! love the tutorial!!!
Glad you like it!
I've seen that ship before! At the end of season 8 episode 6 of game of Thrones... spooky... since this video is over 3 years old... Where you on the props department?
It is really cool! With love from Russia 💪
Tell us how you made those beautiful waves, please >.
It's on the list of vids to make, but since it might be a bit, here is the short form tutorial.
Base is a big piece of 1 1/2" blue insulation foam.
I took some drywall compound and watered it down with a mix of 50/50 water and pva. I spread this all over the board and then took a damp paint roller and rolled it over the mud to give it the texture and create the little waves.
Once it was all dry I spray painted the whole thing blue with a light mist of aqua. I then very lightly drybrushed white on to the very tips of the texture.
To finish it all off I gave it 3 or so heavy coats of spray gloss varnish.
Hope that helps :D
wow....it looks great! This was going to be my question as well. The ship is incredible and I can't wait to build it and surprise my players :D Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful tutorials!
This ship is amazing. Thank you so much! I really like the water design. Have you done a tutorial for that or have any tips?
Thanks. I havn't done a tutorial for the water board yet because it is a big messy project that I havnt felt like doing again, lol. It is essentially just a big piece of blue foam covered in watered down drywall joint compound (with some pva added), I then use a wet paint roller to get the wave texture....then paint and gloss clear coat.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips. Really appreciate it
Great job, thank you for the build and walkthrough. Donations on the way
Great Tutorial! I'm a bit new to crafting and this was super helpful!!!! I'm thinking about trying to fashion some empty foam "crates" to hide minis in ^^
Man your content is awesome.
