*DISCLAIMER* These are my first impressions only. Just what I was thinking as I opened these up live, in front of the camera. I hadn't done any research as to how they were made at that point, so all I was doing was trying to figure it out because the quality is so friggen good! You can see how it all looks glued and individually put together but I'm sure they are a cast of some sort. Would love to be a fly on the wall and see the actual process. *Do any of you guys own their buildings? What do you think of them?*
I own their little cottage and a bunch of “market dressings". They blow anything else I have seen out of the water. Their models are so good I’m afraid of painting them. That being said, there’s no way those aren’t single pieces. It’s simply not possible otherwise. Not that it takes anything away from the models.
I have the cottage and it was a blast to paint and it's a great looking building. I couldn't just give it a basic paint job and went all out on it. instagram.com/p/Bk1boU_Hpyz/?igshid=1hvkql54xh6ks
Gotta get two duplicate buildings to see if they are indeed all glued pieces, but that has always been my impression as well. If they are all just glued pieces, there shouldn't be two that are alike, but just similar. The fact they are only two people makes it seem like this will be a limited business that won't last many more years, everybody grows tired of gluing cream colored resin pieces-unless they expand and lower prices. Yes, it is expensive, even for handmade, by lowering prices means they will sell more and can hire more. They seem very stuck on their pricing, but if they are two people only, I understand. Expensive in that you need 20-30 buildings if you are going to have a town-these are not toys for children, these are for Wargamers.
Thank you so much!! I just spent an hr at their sight & will spend more time there because you can learn so much, the detailed work is AMAZING. Then you can see how they look when painted (alot R painted) I do stuff in clay (s) & paying attention to detail ESP at that sight is incredible. I luved their graveyard stuff as well. Thank you also for being such a good teacher.
Yeah i know. Apparently they build these from scratch then make molds out of those masters. Here's a picture I found of the original guard tower they made to make their molds out of: i.pinimg.com/736x/17/db/d4/17dbd49cdef2f52847e4b75e3c2c6892--dungeon-tiles-dioramas.jpg Apparently this is the process for all their buildings.
Their stuff is beyond amazing. I have had the small cottage #1 for about two years now and have still not brought myself to try to paint it. I also have the small water well and a bunch of furniture for the interiors. I almost feel bad painting them, as they look so good just in their raw state. That stable on kickstarter is absolutely insane with detail as well. Thanks for doing this video and providing the discount code.
The great thing about these is even if you're not a great painter, you can do some simple drybrushing and keep all that great looking detail underneath and even help some of that texture pop more!
So good, you and Luke Towan are the best on youtube!! Different styles and purposes but when you combine the two, you can make anything you want. Keep up the amazing work, also thank you for teaching me for the last year!
if you are worried about botching the paint job, and don't want to risk the materials staining the resin underneath, I'd suggest sealing the buildings with mr.SuperClear (or MSC, as often refereed to). It's common practice in the doll customising hobby to always seal the resin before adding any paint/pastels in case you mess up, since then you can always just remove the paint without having to worry about staining. Also often using multiple layers of MSC to "save" progress and not have to run the risk of having to do everything all over again, but I know that on tiny details it might negatively affect the sculpted details.
I used to do resin model figures, I can tell by the detail and quality this kit is the same type of resin. Out of the box the house and roof are each a single piece. Nobody sits and glues these tiny pieces onto each individual item the company sells. During the sculpting phase they may have done it that way, but once the mold is made all copies are one piece.
Some of the claims in this video are ridiculous, ha! I get it, you're crazy excited about how high quality the model is. But seriously: It's just two guys and they cast and glue in each individual shingle, stone and all the apples in the bucket! ...and yet you can still buy it for only $31.72? Literally, they would go out of business because of waiting times alone. A quick look at this models roof compared to the one in the photos on their site shows the shingles all look exactly the same as the one in your model, even where there are large gaps. Which proves that it's just a cast. The apples in the bucket look cast too, not stuck in individually. They may cast it in sections to keep the quality high, but those pieces will be much larger than you are suggesting, like maybe 5 to 6 max in the roof section, if that. And honestly, why would they bother wasting their time glueing individual shingles and stones on, or even glueing multiple pieces together, when the market they are selling to loves building stuff. If they are paying someone to glue on each individual shingle, then they could greatly increase their profits on that model simply by creating a build guide and shipping the model deconstructed. Cut's all the massive labour and glue costs, and greatly decreases turn around times for the models. I would still pay thirty dollars for a piece I had to glue together myself and looked that good at the end of it. A well-detailed review of a great product. Lots of lovely close up shots of the product. Pleasant music and overall production. But the excitement of a child on Christmas morning clearly took over on the commentary. Haha!
Yeah I think if I was part of a 2-man operation I'd make sections to cast (like a row of tiles or fruit separately from the bucket), then glue them together. I mean...unless these guys are just super happy to do all this work even at a serious loss.
lol you make some good points in there. I think you forgot tho I literally was just opening these up, filming it on the spot, and giving my first impression. I didn't do any research or anything at this point and wanted to state exactly what my thoughts were. Make it as authentic as possible. and yeah, definitely was like a child on Christmas!! I'm really into quality and these guys deliver. I'm also crazy impressed with how small the company is and that they're not out just take make the big bucks but have a real serious passion for what they're doing. It takes more than a drive for money to make something of real quality and value. You have to have a passion for what you're doing. These guys have it, and it's obvious in the work they've put in to these things, and i love that. So yeah, no idea how they make them, as I said in the video, just giving my first impressions. Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the feedback!
@Legend_Nation Gaming he says they're a small group of people from Croatia so I don't think they would do it in China. They seem to be hobbyists as well who love doing what they do
Here in Croatia we have a small but strong modeling scene. Tabletop world hosts a painting competition (that has to include their models of course). It's pretty pricey for us locals to enter it, but I might give it a go this year since I've improved significantly as a painter lately, and feel like I might actually be able to give these things the paintjob they deserve.
I can actually envision how the first one you opened could be made of larger sub-assemblies that are epoxied or glued together after molding. It would not necessarily require the individual casting and gluing of each roof tile. Nonetheless, the detail is great, and all of the greebles help each building tell a story when sitting still.
Not sure if the thread is still up, but there used to be a thread on WarSeer where the people behind this worked on their first few buildings, they stopped posting work stuff there, but it was pretty cool with how far they went with them.
Yeah, I found a post from way back when were they posted a picture or their guard tower being assembled of actual wood and stone. Very cool to see and crazy impressive. I'll have to see if I can dig up this thread from WarSeer
Great looking models. The detail is incredible. Way too often I see something great on one of these channels and when I go check the company out, they are situated on the wrong side of the Atlantic, and postage doubles the price of whatever I wanted to get. Not this time, there is only a bit of Slovenia between me and them, wohoo.
I live on a burnt continent amid distant southern oceans where this stuff is hard to get...yet I was lucky enough few years ago to find the cottage & coaching inn locally at an "old stock" price (shocked me too...but it appeared to be old stock they wanted to get rid of). Pretty glad I have any at all.
dont know how your video's ended up in my recommendations but i tell you what i am glad, i subbed, cant wait to see what these look like when you complete one and i spent about an hour on these guys web site, as i do leatherwork i tell you i think i might enjoy doing one of these. thank you.
Lol hahaha I thought the box was because you sent it away for special touches...hahaha clearly I guess I need the volume on rather than make up my own story line.
Yeah I should look it up because I still cant wrap my head around how they get such good detail. Can you reuse molds multiple times or do you need to remake a new mold for each cast? Seems like the mold would get destroyed after pulling it apart with all those tiny nooks and cranny's.
Real Terrain Hobbies, you mentioned that you're hesitant to start painting these intricate models for fear of messing them up. I've seen your work and feel you have nothing to worry about, but If you're concerned about ruining these intricate models, after sealing (as recommended below), practice with colors on the bottom of the building where errors won't show. Start with thinned paints (acrylic and water, or such) and use light washes. You can then deepen the colors by adding a bit more until you get the color depth you want. (For instance, the shingles could be colored upside-down so they catch more color and will gradually darken the creases.) Dabbing with a paper towel at times will remove some color and roughen the look of the surfaces. To "paint" these models with a full brush of thick, undiluted paint as one would a wall is a big....BIG... mistake unless you're really good at it. A little wash of color can be deepened to fill in a crevice until it shows a realistic shadow. I love the way they look unpainted (yes, like white chocolate or Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk, Yum...) and I would never paint nor color them if I had them. Just a personal preference, not a recommendation. I was an art teacher and have been an artist and model maker most of my life. Thanks for this interesting video and for the viewers' helpful comments. I've been subscribed and the bell has been rung for months. I'm looking forward to your future "surprises". Take care. :0) Donna B.
Thanks Donna! Those are some really great tips and I'll definitely keep your comment close at hand when I start to give these a paint job. Have you taken a look at their website? There is a gallery section where people have submitted their photo's of their finished painted models and most of them are quite stunning. I agree, I do like theunpainted look as well, but I think painted up these could really look quite spectacular. Thanks again for the great advice!
Well I do have to say they do look great and the pricing is not bad at all. If I were not color impaired - not good at shading at all. I would give recreating a town in Fable a shot. They even have a cemetary. Very impressed with the detail.
awesome buildings. i remember a company that made Ad&d miniatures high quality models boxed great artwork on the cover and background info in the box on the models. and like yourself i expected a huge company. that turned out to be basically 2 static caravans one for modeling and boxing etc office. and one for casting. i was blown away. i can see this detail 3d printed with resin printers. but i still think like many these are cast in a lot of sections. shame you did not ask them when you was talking to the guys how they make them. nice review. :) thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I've talked with them since and they to make them in casts. they made the originals the way I described by gluing everything together individually to make the masters. But, from there everything is cast in large pieces. They are just crazy complex molds apparently.
Awesome! Yeah these buildings are crazy! I cant wait to get them painted up and put into some sort of scene. I'm going to give it my best effort anyway to really make them stand out.
I didn't even know there were companies that made these. I have been crafting diorama buildings with actual wood and clay from smaller than 1:48 up to 1:12 scale for several years. They are so labor intensive to create, it would be a dream to simply buy them ready-made!
@@RealTerrainHobbies Yeah, they have some really cool designs and love the aesthetics of them. They're also really good at painting them. I'm quite impressed :D
They build the master from stone they've cut and shaped. I'm assuming the shingles are all individually cut from some material... stone as well, maybe? I'm not sure about the wood pieces. Their sculpting of the other times is fantastic. Once the master is made they begin figuring out how to cast it...though, with all their experience they probably have that mostly sorted out. Due to the detail I imagine that they go through a lot of molds since they probably don't last too long.
Yeah you're exactly right. They made the masters with stone and wood. Not sure about the wooden shingles and some other parts, but they are casts for sure.
I have seen your video where Brent came and helped you paint the buildings from this company! Really well done on every front too! I hope you generated some orders for these guys!
Are you suggesting the individual models are individually hand made or the masters are? - it wasn't clear. The creators explained in an interview a few years back how they make the masters from in super high detail parts (e.g. the models stone parts are made from real stone) - but the resin you receive are just (very very nice) cast resin models.
No, I was giving my first impressions. I should put a disclaimer in the description. I thought it was clear seeing as i was just opening up the packages and talking. I hadnt done any research at this point. I'll put a disclaimer up and pin it.
I have a few of them. All are awesome! Not just incredible details, but also great resin. I only had to clean the resin with water and cleaner/ soap. The only downside is the scale and the prize. The scale of most of their builds is a little too small if you want to play Warhammer / AOS or a similar game. Only some of the new buildings are in the heroic scale of Warhammer but they are very expensive. But don´t get me wrong, i think they are worth it! I am looking forward on your painting job! Have fun and many greetings from germany!
Greetings! Ah, good to know. Yeah judging by their kickstarter they a planning on possibly releasing a few more at heroic scale. I didnt realise 40K was heroic scale actually. I dont currently play it but possibly plan to get into it a at some point. Which buildings do you have?
@@RealTerrainHobbies I have the cottage, the townhouse, the wind mill, the blacksmith forge, the stone bridge, the townhouse III and the old merchant house. All of them are great, but the old merchant house was a little more difficult to build because the roof consists of several parts. Actually the old fantasy buildings of forgeworld fit perfectly to the older tabletop world buildings. If you find any...
When you said they were expensive, I was expecting them to be a lot more costly than they are. The prices are actually pretty low compared to other resin products I've built (mainly sci-fi ships and such). I am definitely going to consider getting some of these just because they look phenomenal!
@@RealTerrainHobbies Born and raised to a fine age of 27 in Cowichan Vally. Going to the Island for a visit middle of August. My dad and I are going to do the Carmana Vally hike. I'm 40 now and need to move back to the Island soon. Most Island ppl are good kats. I'm sure your wife is no exception. Cheers Neil for your reply. Your a good kat too. :)
haha, thanks man. You seem like a pretty good kat yourself. :) Yeah we need to get back out there again. It's been a while. Wow that looks like a beauty of a hike! I haven't heard of that one. I'm envious. I'd love to go on that. Good luck and enjoy yourselves!
@@RealTerrainHobbies Oh yeah. Gunna go get my ElfQuest on. Definitely be uploading a vid of the old growth forest when I return. I think you'll love it there and be super inspired. Another good spot for majestic west coast old growth forest is Myres Island. Cheers bud.
They just put up a Kickstarter for an amazing stable. It's even more amazing than their previous stuff. Are you sure that it isn't SLA 3d printed? Formlabs and a few other SLA 3d printers can easily output that quality with zero evidence of it being a print. They also use similar resins to what would be used in casting parts. The printing would give the same affect as gluing it all together as individual pcs.
Interesting... Well they've been making these since 2009, a lot of the models are still cast from the same masters they made up back them. But yeah, the info I got from them is that they are all cast with really complex molds. What do one of thos SLA 3D printers go for? Probably crazy, but it would be awesome to grab one some day if they're as detailed as you say.
@@RealTerrainHobbies They now start from 250 but go in the thousands. Miniature printing at home is now a reality, but larger pieces would require buying a SLA printer with a huge printing size... those are in the thousands of dollars.
3D printing such things is a giant waste of time money and resources. You would only do that for single-digit productions. One way to utilise printing would just to print a master-model, touch it up and then generate the moulds from that.
@@ABaumstumpf That makes actual sense. The idea of assembling each one by hand is mind boggling. But it would be near impossible to get some of those details on 5 sides of a 3d object from molds, from what I've seen of molds. I'm no where near an expert, though, not even amateur. Hands down, these are the most impressive pieces I have ever seen, IMO.
1) I wish they would up scale it to like 35mm so you can use it for wargaming and actually get miniatures inside. 2) I wish the door opened and the windows were clear so you can see the detail inside. While the food basket and other parts are great, I wish they were not glued on so I could more easily paint those items. Other than that, they are amazingly detailed.
For your first point, they've started a line of products at 32mm. Right now they have a kickstarter going for new stables in this scale and they already have an amazing merchant building thats been out for a bit in 32mm. It sounds like they'll be continuing to add more to this line. 2) haha, this new line also has doors and windows that open. Check out that merchant shop! And I agree, painting the food and baskets on the one building will be difficult. They do sell those as separate accessories along with a bunch of other grain sacks etc as well. bit.ly/Table-Top-World
@@RealTerrainHobbies If I could just chime in here, I'm really tempted to start collecting these but wondering if I were to actually use them for "Age of Sigmar" if the minis would even fit. Maybe, Real Terrain Hobbies, could you tell me what you play using these if anything? When you did the massive and at that the amazing build of some of their other stuff, I did notice you had a lot of minis all over the place as well.
The cost of living (and production) in Croatia must be very low. Maybe that's why they can charge less for each piece. If they lived in the US the costs would be considerably higher I assume.
I was only just looking at these 3 buildings online yesterday. I may have to treat myself to one of them for Christmas, when I have some time off work, to do them justice. I’m a little bit intimidated by the interiors though. Look forward to seeing what you do with them 👍🏻
Yeah me too with those interiors. It's going to be interesting alright... Trust me though, if you grab one you'll be in love with it. It'll suit your LOTR Games Workshop stuff really well. Do you play Middle Earth SBG?
Real Terrain Hobbies. To be honest I haven’t played any game since I played Hero Quest, years ago. I just love terrain building and anything Tolkien related. And yes I’m sure that if I picked up a few pieces from Tabletop World I would be blown away by the detail, they do look very nice.
I love good craftsmanship! After watching your clip, I visited their shop, where they clearly state that the glue each stone in their buildings individually. So, feel good about your excitement during your filming - I agree with you, no quick-buck mass production going on here! Why is it so hard for people to believe that true artists place quality and pride in their work above profit? Thanks to your enjoyment and enthusiasm you have a new subscriber!
im super happy you reviewing their stuff, i love seeing tabletop world but damn man your high if you think its all assembled tiny part by tiny part...thats something im sure they do for the MASTER not every cast thats just nuts
haha I know. But you saw the closeups right on how they look individually glued/fused in place? I was just thinking out loud and was quite excited by the quality. I've spoken/emailed with them since I completed this video and they do indeed for the originals but then these are just done in really complex casts to get all that detail out. And there is literally no flashing leftover on anything so it's really hard to tell they are casts. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
I just ordered my first two cottages, im going to build off the quest in dragon age where the entire town disappears over night into a dungeon under the town. Im going to use dwarven forge for the underground bits
hmm... I'm not sure. From what I've seen for something bigger like this they might come out a little too washed out? I haven't tied them so i couldn't tell you for sure. I'm sure it's possible just not sure you'd get the same detail with standard paints.
They are too expensive for large scale painting. For terrain I'd use artist inks + medium + flow improver to mix your own stuff in a huge quantity. Contrast paints are basically "just" that, but premixed in tiny, expensive bottles. A little bit of experimentation will go a long away, especially if you need a large quantity of certain colors for terrain.
They make such beautifull buildings. One of their bigger buildings really inspired my first styrofoam building. Cant wait how they turn out ones you painted them. Im sure you’ll knock it out off the park
Thanks, hope so! And yeah they’re the ones who inspired me to make my medieval house, which I need to get finished up here fast.😛. But yeah, man they’re nice buildings.
Real Terrain Hobbies yeah! I think everybody who subbed to your channel cant wait to see your house finished. Your house inspired me a lot to begin building something for myself.
Yeah I'm going to try to get that one done asap. I've got some smaller quick builds just to get some fast content up, but will mostly be working on finishing that up in the background.
Good review. They are some of the most detailed resin models on the market, but as others pointed out, the stones, shingles , etc are not separately cast, though the master, individual pieces certainly were, as Mladen confirmed himself, and the rest is just very good mold making and casting. I have many of their buildings and the best time to buy them is their Christmas sale where you can get free shipping and free bonus models based on how much you purchase. I got one of their most impressive buildings (the enormous town gate) free because of how many other buildings I bought). The biggest shame about these (and so many other buildlings in the wargaming hobby) is that the doors are not realistically proportioned to resemble real Medieval buildings, so in this case they are certainly not the most realistic buildings on the market. You will never see such low, wide, squat shaped doors in real medieval buildings and they are far too wide for real humans 28mm high.. They all seem to be made for morbidly obese dwarves or hobbits, and the ceilings are so low in most cases that you cannot modify them. Since I mostly use 40mm tall figures, the doors do not seem so unrealistically wide, and the doorway can be heightened by raising the foundations a bit. One thing that should be added, since you are only reviewing some of their simplest houses, is that in their larger structures, virtually every room in every building and tower is ingeniously accesible. These guys are super talented, but unfortunately every door in every building was made for what scale wise would be, a 4 1/2 foot tall, 300 lb. dwarf. Take a minute and look how narrow the doors are on real medieval buildings, unless they are double doors for public buildings like churches, but then, they would also be much taller. Years ago when most wargame miniatures were crude, short, watermelon headed freaks, wargame buildings were made to look 'right' for these monstrosities, but now so many figures are perfectly proportioned to like like real humans, yet the majority of wargame buildings are still made for overweight dwarves.
I have ten of them. Check out the Town Gate on their website. tabletop-world.com/shop/ www.kickstarter.com/projects/ttw-altburg-stable/tabletop-worlds-altburg-stable-32mm-resin-cast-terrain
if you dont mind me asking, where in Canada are you, i live in new Brunswick, born in Ontario, lived in Alberta. i was just wondering, love the work you do, keep up the great work, thanks from Marc
Where can I buy houses like this, if not from the seller you mention in this video? Something cheaper... I’m not as experienced as you and mostly want to paint buildings for fun.
Maybe next time if contacting for reviews get some info from the manufacturers rather than wild speculation on construction processes. They look amazing but obv just great casting of hand made masters.
Thanks for the video! Yes, they make cool stuff, the quality just rolls over! But when I see the prices, I think "ok, I'd rather do this from polystyrene." Especially in Russia, the price of such a house is a salary for 2 days...((
I have ten of them and plan to get more including their new stable that's on Kickstarter. Some of the small ones, like the cottage you showed I glued shut simply because there isn't enough interior room for funiture and I've dropping one or two roofs over the years has and they will break but...they're the best buildings I've seen on the market. There's some 3D printer terrain that has as much detail but I don't have a 3D printer. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ttw-altburg-stable/tabletop-worlds-altburg-stable-32mm-resin-cast-terrain
Awesome man. I’m envious! Talking to someone whos actually held one of these in their hands, you know exactly where I’m coming from. If I were them, I’d be proud for what I’ve been able to create and recreate on a scale where others can enjoy the same quality put in to the original. You know where I’m coming from. Luke’s APS just put out a vid too, which is weird as I had mine ready for a while and wanted to put it out a week after the wizard tower video had been out. He’s just as impressed as I am, or vise versa, whichever you prefer.
@@RealTerrainHobbies The modeler used real stone, wood etc for the models vs scratching foam or modeling clay and the attention to detail is amazing. He put nail heads on the shingles! Tabletop Minons did a vid on them a year ago and the Terrain Tutor a year ago as well. Luke and you seem to be on the company's mailing list this year. PS Good timing with the discount! I was going to buy the Noble Townhouse this month besides getting in on the Kickstarter for the Stable. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ttw-altburg-stable/tabletop-worlds-altburg-stable-32mm-resin-cast-terrain P.S. They usually do a Christmas sale starting end October or November that comes with a automatic discount or a free building. Which building depends on how much you spend.
I'm a new sub and would like to know how I can get one of the cars with your logo on it ? Thanks for your concideration. . And great work with the videos 👍👍
resin casting gets ALOT of detail. it can easily capture all of the detail you're saying is all places in as one. if it was "all glued on" as you kept stating it wouldnt be as strong. the "seperate peice" details, you keep seeing are from where the silicone molds capture the details from the original piece, which was probibly made little of pieces put together and them they made a mold of it
haha, they're a very small company. Resin is not cheap. I think the parcel tape is part of the charm and dedication from these guys making it on their own.
I think these parts made from 3D printer. You just build every parts you need in 3D software, print it out, and put them together. And it's more easy to mass production.
They are actually casts of originals that were made from actual stone and wood. I;ve since found this out. This is one of the originals they create casts from. i.pinimg.com/736x/17/db/d4/17dbd49cdef2f52847e4b75e3c2c6892.jpg
A few things: First, while they are really nice models, imo calling them "medieval" is not really justified. They are based on medieval buildings but clearly fantasy in nature - buildings simply did not look like that. When made form stone they were nearly always whitewashed. The roof wouldn't have missing shingles, those iron-strips are way too thick, you wouldn't have tools just laying around randomly, same with (minuscule amounts of) food - and who would hang horse-shoes onto their wall, let alone over a stone water basin? It looks great and certainly makes for good decoration, but imo they should decide on either medieval or fantasy. Like this it seems strange to me.
Sorry, you are are wrong, they build a master piece by piece then cast it in two pieces, a roof and the building. It is amazing but not piece by piece building. Resin casting is g rest stuff.
*DISCLAIMER* These are my first impressions only. Just what I was thinking as I opened these up live, in front of the camera. I hadn't done any research as to how they were made at that point, so all I was doing was trying to figure it out because the quality is so friggen good!
You can see how it all looks glued and individually put together but I'm sure they are a cast of some sort. Would love to be a fly on the wall and see the actual process.
*Do any of you guys own their buildings? What do you think of them?*
Not yet but I’m thinking about it now.
I own their little cottage and a bunch of “market dressings". They blow anything else I have seen out of the water. Their models are so good I’m afraid of painting them. That being said, there’s no way those aren’t single pieces. It’s simply not possible otherwise. Not that it takes anything away from the models.
I have the cottage and it was a blast to paint and it's a great looking building. I couldn't just give it a basic paint job and went all out on it. instagram.com/p/Bk1boU_Hpyz/?igshid=1hvkql54xh6ks
Gotta get two duplicate buildings to see if they are indeed all glued pieces, but that has always been my impression as well. If they are all just glued pieces, there shouldn't be two that are alike, but just similar.
The fact they are only two people makes it seem like this will be a limited business that won't last many more years, everybody grows tired of gluing cream colored resin pieces-unless they expand and lower prices.
Yes, it is expensive, even for handmade, by lowering prices means they will sell more and can hire more. They seem very stuck on their pricing, but if they are two people only, I understand.
Expensive in that you need 20-30 buildings if you are going to have a town-these are not toys for children, these are for Wargamers.
Thank you so much!! I just spent an hr at their sight & will spend more time there because you can learn so much, the detailed work is AMAZING. Then you can see how they look when painted (alot R painted)
I do stuff in clay (s) & paying attention to detail ESP at that sight is incredible. I luved their graveyard stuff as well.
Thank you also for being such a good teacher.
That is crazy detail , even the original sculptor must have some wild crazy skills
Yeah i know. Apparently they build these from scratch then make molds out of those masters. Here's a picture I found of the original guard tower they made to make their molds out of: i.pinimg.com/736x/17/db/d4/17dbd49cdef2f52847e4b75e3c2c6892--dungeon-tiles-dioramas.jpg Apparently this is the process for all their buildings.
That is definitely some wild detail on those buildings. I understand your wow factor.
Yeah, I was and am obviously excited about these things.😋
Their stuff is beyond amazing. I have had the small cottage #1 for about two years now and have still not brought myself to try to paint it. I also have the small water well and a bunch of furniture for the interiors. I almost feel bad painting them, as they look so good just in their raw state. That stable on kickstarter is absolutely insane with detail as well. Thanks for doing this video and providing the discount code.
The great thing about these is even if you're not a great painter, you can do some simple drybrushing and keep all that great looking detail underneath and even help some of that texture pop more!
Wow! I really can’t wait to see you paint those!
I own 6 of his models and they are some of the best. Shipping can take forever but it is worth it.
Wow 6! nice work. Yeah I guess they hand cast each to order which is why it takes so long to get them out.
So good, you and Luke Towan are the best on youtube!! Different styles and purposes but when you combine the two, you can make anything you want. Keep up the amazing work, also thank you for teaching me for the last year!
Thanks! High praise :) Much appreciated and glad you've been enjoying the channel.
if you are worried about botching the paint job, and don't want to risk the materials staining the resin underneath, I'd suggest sealing the buildings with mr.SuperClear (or MSC, as often refereed to). It's common practice in the doll customising hobby to always seal the resin before adding any paint/pastels in case you mess up, since then you can always just remove the paint without having to worry about staining. Also often using multiple layers of MSC to "save" progress and not have to run the risk of having to do everything all over again, but I know that on tiny details it might negatively affect the sculpted details.
Great advice! Thanks for that. I'll definitely have to do something like that because yea, I really dont want to mess these up. Thanks for the tip! :)
Freakin' awesome, Neil. That detail is insane. Thank you so much for showcasing this incredible little company - so cool.
Thanks Heather! Yes these guys make some fantastic stuff! So excited to have these guys😊
Their website is addictive.
I don’t really work with miniatures but their prices are absolutely what I would pay if I did, so is the quality.
These guys paint up beautifully...completed a couple myself, very nice
Nice. :) Which one's did you get for yourself?
@@RealTerrainHobbies Actually I did them as a commission, two towers, three houses, a sanctuary, a well, can't remember all of them
I'm so happy I found this channel, I've learned so much from you
Awesome, happy to hear🙂
Ok ... now I want to own some of their buildings
Awesome, fantastic details!!
Super nice!! Amazing detail. 🤯
I used to do resin model figures, I can tell by the detail and quality this kit is the same type of resin. Out of the box the house and roof are each a single piece. Nobody sits and glues these tiny pieces onto each individual item the company sells. During the sculpting phase they may have done it that way, but once the mold is made all copies are one piece.
right now they have a kickstarter running for a real cool stable...and I can't wait to get in my hands
Just ordered those 3 to start my journey... wish me luck in making them look amazing...
Some of the claims in this video are ridiculous, ha! I get it, you're crazy excited about how high quality the model is. But seriously: It's just two guys and they cast and glue in each individual shingle, stone and all the apples in the bucket! ...and yet you can still buy it for only $31.72? Literally, they would go out of business because of waiting times alone.
A quick look at this models roof compared to the one in the photos on their site shows the shingles all look exactly the same as the one in your model, even where there are large gaps. Which proves that it's just a cast. The apples in the bucket look cast too, not stuck in individually. They may cast it in sections to keep the quality high, but those pieces will be much larger than you are suggesting, like maybe 5 to 6 max in the roof section, if that. And honestly, why would they bother wasting their time glueing individual shingles and stones on, or even glueing multiple pieces together, when the market they are selling to loves building stuff. If they are paying someone to glue on each individual shingle, then they could greatly increase their profits on that model simply by creating a build guide and shipping the model deconstructed. Cut's all the massive labour and glue costs, and greatly decreases turn around times for the models. I would still pay thirty dollars for a piece I had to glue together myself and looked that good at the end of it.
A well-detailed review of a great product. Lots of lovely close up shots of the product. Pleasant music and overall production. But the excitement of a child on Christmas morning clearly took over on the commentary. Haha!
Yeah I think if I was part of a 2-man operation I'd make sections to cast (like a row of tiles or fruit separately from the bucket), then glue them together. I mean...unless these guys are just super happy to do all this work even at a serious loss.
lol you make some good points in there. I think you forgot tho I literally was just opening these up, filming it on the spot, and giving my first impression. I didn't do any research or anything at this point and wanted to state exactly what my thoughts were. Make it as authentic as possible. and yeah, definitely was like a child on Christmas!! I'm really into quality and these guys deliver. I'm also crazy impressed with how small the company is and that they're not out just take make the big bucks but have a real serious passion for what they're doing. It takes more than a drive for money to make something of real quality and value. You have to have a passion for what you're doing. These guys have it, and it's obvious in the work they've put in to these things, and i love that. So yeah, no idea how they make them, as I said in the video, just giving my first impressions. Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the feedback!
@@RealTerrainHobbies , Its strange that the windows are blanked considering the interior detail , did you plan on cutting them out ?
@Orson in charge Im not sure yet... Come to think of it hadn't thought about doing that, but definitely makes sense!
@Legend_Nation Gaming he says they're a small group of people from Croatia so I don't think they would do it in China. They seem to be hobbyists as well who love doing what they do
Looking forward to see how you are going to use these.
Their stuff is amazing. Been saving up for awhile to get enough to put a small village on the table.
Yeah agreed. Well worth it for sure
I’ve seen another video of these guys products. They are awesome! I want all of them!
Yeah I know, me too!
Wow those are nice
Here in Croatia we have a small but strong modeling scene. Tabletop world hosts a painting competition (that has to include their models of course). It's pretty pricey for us locals to enter it, but I might give it a go this year since I've improved significantly as a painter lately, and feel like I might actually be able to give these things the paintjob they deserve.
Absolutely awesome
Man, these look awesome!!! =so detailed!! I have to check out their websited now ;-).
I can actually envision how the first one you opened could be made of larger sub-assemblies that are epoxied or glued together after molding. It would not necessarily require the individual casting and gluing of each roof tile. Nonetheless, the detail is great, and all of the greebles help each building tell a story when sitting still.
Yeah totally I could see that. They do it all for ya though. And yeah, detail is wild alright. very impressed
Not sure if the thread is still up, but there used to be a thread on WarSeer where the people behind this worked on their first few buildings, they stopped posting work stuff there, but it was pretty cool with how far they went with them.
Yeah, I found a post from way back when were they posted a picture or their guard tower being assembled of actual wood and stone. Very cool to see and crazy impressive. I'll have to see if I can dig up this thread from WarSeer
wonderful, i would not be able to paint that these days my eyes are not what they was years ago when i did paint small models
Great looking models. The detail is incredible. Way too often I see something great on one of these channels and when I go check the company out, they are situated on the wrong side of the Atlantic, and postage doubles the price of whatever I wanted to get. Not this time, there is only a bit of Slovenia between me and them, wohoo.
Hey perfect! Well there ya go. And I'm with ya there on shipping. Same has happened to me here many times. Glad this one works out well for ya😊
I live on a burnt continent amid distant southern oceans where this stuff is hard to get...yet I was lucky enough few years ago to find the cottage & coaching inn locally at an "old stock" price (shocked me too...but it appeared to be old stock they wanted to get rid of). Pretty glad I have any at all.
Wow lucky you! Nice grab. Keep a tight hold onto those. What is this burnt continent you speak of?
@@RealTerrainHobbies Burnt continent? A semi-fictional place called Australia...
@@TalismancerM 😅
This is so dope!
Awesome!!!
Потрясающая детализация. Лайк!
dont know how your video's ended up in my recommendations but i tell you what i am glad, i subbed, cant wait to see
what these look like when you complete one and i spent about an hour on these guys web site, as i do leatherwork
i tell you i think i might enjoy doing one of these. thank you.
Awesome stuff, glad to have you on board! :) And, if you pick one of these up, you are not going to be disappointed.
This is a different project from the others!!! I love it. It is super unique.
Thanks Michelle! Yeah, just a straight up product review on this one🙂
Real Terrain Hobbies you didn’t make this??? I had your volume turned off as kids asleep next to my bedroom.
Omg a project review is incredible idea. You are so creative with your video ideas. I feel like you are always thinking and planning
Lol hahaha I thought the box was because you sent it away for special touches...hahaha clearly I guess I need the volume on rather than make up my own story line.
@@MommyPoppins01 Haha, yeah volume helps to put things to context a little more accurately hehe. Thanks for commenting and stopping by Michelle🙂
Injection molding process is very detailed oriented.
Yeah I should look it up because I still cant wrap my head around how they get such good detail. Can you reuse molds multiple times or do you need to remake a new mold for each cast? Seems like the mold would get destroyed after pulling it apart with all those tiny nooks and cranny's.
Real Terrain Hobbies, you mentioned that you're hesitant to start painting these intricate models for fear of messing them up. I've seen your work and feel you have nothing to worry about, but If you're concerned about ruining these intricate models, after sealing (as recommended below), practice with colors on the bottom of the building where errors won't show. Start with thinned paints (acrylic and water, or such) and use light washes. You can then deepen the colors by adding a bit more until you get the color depth you want. (For instance, the shingles could be colored upside-down so they catch more color and will gradually darken the creases.) Dabbing with a paper towel at times will remove some color and roughen the look of the surfaces.
To "paint" these models with a full brush of thick, undiluted paint as one would a wall is a big....BIG... mistake unless you're really good at it. A little wash of color can be deepened to fill in a crevice until it shows a realistic shadow.
I love the way they look unpainted (yes, like white chocolate or Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk, Yum...) and I would never paint nor color them if I had them. Just a personal preference, not a recommendation. I was an art teacher and have been an artist and model maker most of my life.
Thanks for this interesting video and for the viewers' helpful comments. I've been subscribed and the bell has been rung for months. I'm looking forward to your future "surprises". Take care. :0) Donna B.
Thanks Donna! Those are some really great tips and I'll definitely keep your comment close at hand when I start to give these a paint job. Have you taken a look at their website? There is a gallery section where people have submitted their photo's of their finished painted models and most of them are quite stunning. I agree, I do like theunpainted look as well, but I think painted up these could really look quite spectacular. Thanks again for the great advice!
Well I do have to say they do look great and the pricing is not bad at all.
If I were not color impaired - not good at shading at all. I would give recreating a town in Fable a shot. They even have a cemetary. Very impressed with the detail.
Agreed. Amazing products. Do the doors open by chance or no?
Not on these models but on the newer buildings they are making the doors and windows open and close.👍
@@RealTerrainHobbies very cool. Thanks
@@jimeronimo 👍
awesome buildings. i remember a company that made Ad&d miniatures high quality models boxed great artwork on the cover and background info in the box on the models. and like yourself i expected a huge company. that turned out to be basically 2 static caravans one for modeling and boxing etc office. and one for casting. i was blown away. i can see this detail 3d printed with resin printers. but i still think like many these are cast in a lot of sections. shame you did not ask them when you was talking to the guys how they make them.
nice review. :) thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I've talked with them since and they to make them in casts. they made the originals the way I described by gluing everything together individually to make the masters. But, from there everything is cast in large pieces. They are just crazy complex molds apparently.
Freakin awesome! I can't wait to see them painted up. I am going to check this website out! Thanks for sharing...Love it!!
Awesome! Yeah these buildings are crazy! I cant wait to get them painted up and put into some sort of scene. I'm going to give it my best effort anyway to really make them stand out.
I didn't even know there were companies that made these. I have been crafting diorama buildings with actual wood and clay from smaller than 1:48 up to 1:12 scale for several years. They are so labor intensive to create, it would be a dream to simply buy them ready-made!
Great video
Wow, those are incredible! Just took a peek at the website, there's some truly amazing buildings on there. Love the attention to detail
I know hey? They've really put a lot of effort into making these things what they are. I am so impressed with these.
@@RealTerrainHobbies Yeah, they have some really cool designs and love the aesthetics of them. They're also really good at painting them. I'm quite impressed :D
They build the master from stone they've cut and shaped. I'm assuming the shingles are all individually cut from some material... stone as well, maybe? I'm not sure about the wood pieces. Their sculpting of the other times is fantastic. Once the master is made they begin figuring out how to cast it...though, with all their experience they probably have that mostly sorted out. Due to the detail I imagine that they go through a lot of molds since they probably don't last too long.
Yeah you're exactly right. They made the masters with stone and wood. Not sure about the wooden shingles and some other parts, but they are casts for sure.
I have seen your video where Brent came and helped you paint the buildings from this company! Really well done on every front too! I hope you generated some orders for these guys!
Are you suggesting the individual models are individually hand made or the masters are? - it wasn't clear. The creators explained in an interview a few years back how they make the masters from in super high detail parts (e.g. the models stone parts are made from real stone) - but the resin you receive are just (very very nice) cast resin models.
No, I was giving my first impressions. I should put a disclaimer in the description. I thought it was clear seeing as i was just opening up the packages and talking. I hadnt done any research at this point. I'll put a disclaimer up and pin it.
I have a few of them. All are awesome! Not just incredible details, but also great resin. I only had to clean the resin with water and cleaner/ soap. The only downside is the scale and the prize. The scale of most of their builds is a little too small if you want to play Warhammer / AOS or a similar game. Only some of the new buildings are in the heroic scale of Warhammer but they are very expensive. But don´t get me wrong, i think they are worth it!
I am looking forward on your painting job! Have fun and many greetings from germany!
Greetings! Ah, good to know. Yeah judging by their kickstarter they a planning on possibly releasing a few more at heroic scale. I didnt realise 40K was heroic scale actually. I dont currently play it but possibly plan to get into it a at some point. Which buildings do you have?
@@RealTerrainHobbies I have the cottage, the townhouse, the wind mill, the blacksmith forge, the stone bridge, the townhouse III and the old merchant house. All of them are great, but the old merchant house was a little more difficult to build because the roof consists of several parts.
Actually the old fantasy buildings of forgeworld fit perfectly to the older tabletop world buildings. If you find any...
When you said they were expensive, I was expecting them to be a lot more costly than they are. The prices are actually pretty low compared to other resin products I've built (mainly sci-fi ships and such). I am definitely going to consider getting some of these just because they look phenomenal!
Wow. They are very nice. Now you really have to finish the tavern/inn to add to the village which I think is even better. Cheers from Vancouver.
Agreed and thanks! Cheers man, my wife is from the Island :)
@@RealTerrainHobbies Born and raised to a fine age of 27 in Cowichan Vally. Going to the Island for a visit middle of August. My dad and I are going to do the Carmana Vally hike. I'm 40 now and need to move back to the Island soon. Most Island ppl are good kats. I'm sure your wife is no exception. Cheers Neil for your reply. Your a good kat too. :)
haha, thanks man. You seem like a pretty good kat yourself. :) Yeah we need to get back out there again. It's been a while. Wow that looks like a beauty of a hike! I haven't heard of that one. I'm envious. I'd love to go on that. Good luck and enjoy yourselves!
@@RealTerrainHobbies Oh yeah. Gunna go get my ElfQuest on. Definitely be uploading a vid of the old growth forest when I return. I think you'll love it there and be super inspired. Another good spot for majestic west coast old growth forest is Myres Island. Cheers bud.
They just put up a Kickstarter for an amazing stable. It's even more amazing than their previous stuff. Are you sure that it isn't SLA 3d printed? Formlabs and a few other SLA 3d printers can easily output that quality with zero evidence of it being a print. They also use similar resins to what would be used in casting parts. The printing would give the same affect as gluing it all together as individual pcs.
Interesting... Well they've been making these since 2009, a lot of the models are still cast from the same masters they made up back them. But yeah, the info I got from them is that they are all cast with really complex molds. What do one of thos SLA 3D printers go for? Probably crazy, but it would be awesome to grab one some day if they're as detailed as you say.
@@RealTerrainHobbies They now start from 250 but go in the thousands. Miniature printing at home is now a reality, but larger pieces would require buying a SLA printer with a huge printing size... those are in the thousands of dollars.
3D printing such things is a giant waste of time money and resources. You would only do that for single-digit productions.
One way to utilise printing would just to print a master-model, touch it up and then generate the moulds from that.
@@ABaumstumpf That makes actual sense. The idea of assembling each one by hand is mind boggling. But it would be near impossible to get some of those details on 5 sides of a 3d object from molds, from what I've seen of molds. I'm no where near an expert, though, not even amateur. Hands down, these are the most impressive pieces I have ever seen, IMO.
1) I wish they would up scale it to like 35mm so you can use it for wargaming and actually get miniatures inside. 2) I wish the door opened and the windows were clear so you can see the detail inside. While the food basket and other parts are great, I wish they were not glued on so I could more easily paint those items. Other than that, they are amazingly detailed.
For your first point, they've started a line of products at 32mm. Right now they have a kickstarter going for new stables in this scale and they already have an amazing merchant building thats been out for a bit in 32mm. It sounds like they'll be continuing to add more to this line. 2) haha, this new line also has doors and windows that open. Check out that merchant shop! And I agree, painting the food and baskets on the one building will be difficult. They do sell those as separate accessories along with a bunch of other grain sacks etc as well. bit.ly/Table-Top-World
@@RealTerrainHobbies If I could just chime in here, I'm really tempted to start collecting these but wondering if I were to actually use them for "Age of Sigmar" if the minis would even fit. Maybe, Real Terrain Hobbies, could you tell me what you play using these if anything? When you did the massive and at that the amazing build of some of their other stuff, I did notice you had a lot of minis all over the place as well.
how long does this masterpiece last? I mean, does the colors fade eventually or anything. Thanks, such an inspiration.
Wow!
if they are doing as much work on these as this guy seems to think, then the building are really under priced.
Agreed.
Yeah only 30 for a cottage, I was, thinking 100
The cost of living (and production) in Croatia must be very low. Maybe that's why they can charge less for each piece. If they lived in the US the costs would be considerably higher I assume.
I have many of their buildings, and they are amazing and a joy to paint. However, I cannot believe that they are "hand build" piece by piece.
You are correct! They are casts, done by hand to order.
I was only just looking at these 3 buildings online yesterday. I may have to treat myself to one of them for Christmas, when I have some time off work, to do them justice. I’m a little bit intimidated by the interiors though. Look forward to seeing what you do with them 👍🏻
Yeah me too with those interiors. It's going to be interesting alright... Trust me though, if you grab one you'll be in love with it. It'll suit your LOTR Games Workshop stuff really well. Do you play Middle Earth SBG?
Real Terrain Hobbies. To be honest I haven’t played any game since I played Hero Quest, years ago. I just love terrain building and anything Tolkien related. And yes I’m sure that if I picked up a few pieces from Tabletop World I would be blown away by the detail, they do look very nice.
I love good craftsmanship! After watching your clip, I visited their shop, where they clearly state that the glue each stone in their buildings individually. So, feel good about your excitement during your filming - I agree with you, no quick-buck mass production going on here! Why is it so hard for people to believe that true artists place quality and pride in their work above profit? Thanks to your enjoyment and enthusiasm you have a new subscriber!
Agreed! Thanks for subscribing and welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed the video and were able to see where I was coming from.
im super happy you reviewing their stuff, i love seeing tabletop world but damn man your high if you think its all assembled tiny part by tiny part...thats something im sure they do for the MASTER not every cast thats just nuts
haha I know. But you saw the closeups right on how they look individually glued/fused in place? I was just thinking out loud and was quite excited by the quality. I've spoken/emailed with them since I completed this video and they do indeed for the originals but then these are just done in really complex casts to get all that detail out. And there is literally no flashing leftover on anything so it's really hard to tell they are casts. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
@@RealTerrainHobbies ah its understandable there are legit the best that exists
супер домики. очень понравились...
I just ordered my first two cottages, im going to build off the quest in dragon age where the entire town disappears over night into a dungeon under the town. Im going to use dwarven forge for the underground bits
Can’t wait for the painting vids ... lots of layers lots of dry brushing 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥
Do you think that the GW contrast paints would work on this fantastic terrain?
hmm... I'm not sure. From what I've seen for something bigger like this they might come out a little too washed out? I haven't tied them so i couldn't tell you for sure. I'm sure it's possible just not sure you'd get the same detail with standard paints.
They are too expensive for large scale painting. For terrain I'd use artist inks + medium + flow improver to mix your own stuff in a huge quantity. Contrast paints are basically "just" that, but premixed in tiny, expensive bottles. A little bit of experimentation will go a long away, especially if you need a large quantity of certain colors for terrain.
Wowww
The fact this is produced by a small team, incredibly detailed, and still cheaper than a small set of Space Marines that are mass-produced...
They make such beautifull buildings. One of their bigger buildings really inspired my first styrofoam building. Cant wait how they turn out ones you painted them. Im sure you’ll knock it out off the park
Thanks, hope so! And yeah they’re the ones who inspired me to make my medieval house, which I need to get finished up here fast.😛. But yeah, man they’re nice buildings.
Real Terrain Hobbies yeah! I think everybody who subbed to your channel cant wait to see your house finished. Your house inspired me a lot to begin building something for myself.
Yeah I'm going to try to get that one done asap. I've got some smaller quick builds just to get some fast content up, but will mostly be working on finishing that up in the background.
Real Terrain Hobbies cant wait man. ✌️
Good review. They are some of the most detailed resin models on the market, but as others pointed out, the stones, shingles , etc are not separately cast, though the master, individual pieces certainly were, as Mladen confirmed himself, and the rest is just very good mold making and casting. I have many of their buildings and the best time to buy them is their Christmas sale where you can get free shipping and free bonus models based on how much you purchase. I got one of their most impressive buildings (the enormous town gate) free because of how many other buildings I bought). The biggest shame about these (and so many other buildlings in the wargaming hobby) is that the doors are not realistically proportioned to resemble real Medieval buildings, so in this case they are certainly not the most realistic buildings on the market. You will never see such low, wide, squat shaped doors in real medieval buildings and they are far too wide for real humans 28mm high.. They all seem to be made for morbidly obese dwarves or hobbits, and the ceilings are so low in most cases that you cannot modify them. Since I mostly use 40mm tall figures, the doors do not seem so unrealistically wide, and the doorway can be heightened by raising the foundations a bit. One thing that should be added, since you are only reviewing some of their simplest houses, is that in their larger structures, virtually every room in every building and tower is ingeniously accesible. These guys are super talented, but unfortunately every door in every building was made for what scale wise would be, a 4 1/2 foot tall, 300 lb. dwarf. Take a minute and look how narrow the doors are on real medieval buildings, unless they are double doors for public buildings like churches, but then, they would also be much taller. Years ago when most wargame miniatures were crude, short, watermelon headed freaks, wargame buildings were made to look 'right' for these monstrosities, but now so many figures are perfectly proportioned to like like real humans, yet the majority of wargame buildings are still made for overweight dwarves.
I was very hungry the video thumbnail, it looks like white chocolate.
lol haha True enough hey?
Really beautiful.. I want to order some from them.I would like to know can they ship to Myanmar? I already mail them and haven't got reply yet.
I did not have any sound; have you mentioned the scale of these models?
the scale is 28mm They have just started doing some new 32mm buildings too. Still no sound?

You have an amazing birth home alright!🙂
if you dont mind me asking, where in Canada are you, i live in new Brunswick, born in Ontario, lived in Alberta. i was just wondering, love the work you do, keep up the great work, thanks from Marc
Smack dab in the middle in good ole Saskatchewan just outside of Saskatoon. You've definitely been around a bit hey? Working the oil patch in Alberta?
All I can say is I want all the things lol
Where can I buy houses like this, if not from the seller you mention in this video? Something cheaper... I’m not as experienced as you and mostly want to paint buildings for fun.
3D print or mould?
It's like Lilliput Lane for wargamers.
How the hell did they get it so cheap? 30 dollars for that piece?! WOW!
0,5 points on packaging + 999 999 998 points on detail.
Im geussing it wasn't put in a mold but handcrafted
Does anybody know the name of the background music track?
Croatian post is notoriously slow so it is no surprise they take long to arrive :(
Maybe next time if contacting for reviews get some info from the manufacturers rather than wild speculation on construction processes. They look amazing but obv just great casting of hand made masters.
Wow, they look awesome but I have such a huge backlog of minis to paint... Must be disciplined...
Haha, don't I know it! :)
I want to see what you do with these.
It's going to be good. :)
Thanks for the video! Yes, they make cool stuff, the quality just rolls over! But when I see the prices, I think "ok, I'd rather do this from polystyrene." Especially in Russia, the price of such a house is a salary for 2 days...((
Two days or Two months?
You have huge salaries then in Russia
I have ten of them and plan to get more including their new stable that's on Kickstarter. Some of the small ones, like the cottage you showed I glued shut simply because there isn't enough interior room for funiture and I've dropping one or two roofs over the years has and they will break but...they're the best buildings I've seen on the market. There's some 3D printer terrain that has as much detail but I don't have a 3D printer.

Awesome man. I’m envious! Talking to someone whos actually held one of these in their hands, you know exactly where I’m coming from. If I were them, I’d be proud for what I’ve been able to create and recreate on a scale where others can enjoy the same quality put in to the original. You know where I’m coming from. Luke’s APS just put out a vid too, which is weird as I had mine ready for a while and wanted to put it out a week after the wizard tower video had been out. He’s just as impressed as I am, or vise versa, whichever you prefer.
@@RealTerrainHobbies The modeler used real stone, wood etc for the models vs scratching foam or modeling clay and the attention to detail is amazing. He put nail heads on the shingles! Tabletop Minons did a vid on them a year ago and the Terrain Tutor a year ago as well. Luke and you seem to be on the company's mailing list this year. PS Good timing with the discount!

P.S. They usually do a Christmas sale starting end October or November that comes with a automatic discount or a free building. Which building depends on how much you spend.
I'm a new sub and would like to know how I can get one of the cars with your logo on it ? Thanks for your concideration. . And great work with the videos 👍👍
Thanks! And cars? What do you mean by cars? I was thinking of perhaps designing some clothing for ppl to purchase as well as mugs and whatnot.
resin casting gets ALOT of detail. it can easily capture all of the detail you're saying is all places in as one. if it was "all glued on" as you kept stating it wouldnt be as strong.
the "seperate peice" details, you keep seeing are from where the silicone molds capture the details from the original piece, which was probibly made little of pieces put together and them they made a mold of it
Yeah you are exactly right. I talked more about it with the owners afterwards and that is pretty much exactly what they had to say about it.
If I'd paid what they cost I'd expect something better than parcel tape
haha, they're a very small company. Resin is not cheap. I think the parcel tape is part of the charm and dedication from these guys making it on their own.
I think these parts made from 3D printer. You just build every parts you need in 3D software, print it out, and put them together. And it's more easy to mass production.
They are not 3D printed.
They are actually casts of originals that were made from actual stone and wood. I;ve since found this out. This is one of the originals they create casts from. i.pinimg.com/736x/17/db/d4/17dbd49cdef2f52847e4b75e3c2c6892.jpg
wish the would sell the stl´s
These are cast in molds, not 3D printed.
@@RealTerrainHobbies and that did they use to create the mold ? News flash: 3d printing.
Or not ?
A few things:
First, while they are really nice models, imo calling them "medieval" is not really justified. They are based on medieval buildings but clearly fantasy in nature - buildings simply did not look like that.
When made form stone they were nearly always whitewashed. The roof wouldn't have missing shingles, those iron-strips are way too thick, you wouldn't have tools just laying around randomly, same with (minuscule amounts of) food - and who would hang horse-shoes onto their wall, let alone over a stone water basin?
It looks great and certainly makes for good decoration, but imo they should decide on either medieval or fantasy. Like this it seems strange to me.
Pedantic dipshit much. You must be American
Sorry, you are are wrong, they build a master piece by piece then cast it in two pieces, a roof and the building. It is amazing but not piece by piece building. Resin casting is g rest stuff.
The thumbnail looks like white chocolate ...
if this is a realistic medieval building why is there a pumpkin
Well this looks 3d-printed.
They’re definitely cast. If 3D printed they would be impressive!
Too smooth for 3D printing. There'd be layered ridges otherwise.
this produce of house are
thief!
First thing that stands out is the terrible, TERRIBLE, wood grain pattern. Way too large.
Is that two terribles or did you just forget to caps the first one?
Im sorry but you really don't know much about resin casting do you. Individually cast shingles? What?
Nope!
