I've seen all your works, but I'm leaving a comment for the first time. Your work always looks lovely.! It's soft and sentimental. And I love the irregular hills of Hobbit House.
I did the EXACT same thing with my temple of Anubis diorama a few weeks ago... coated the entire thing in black mod podge only to then paint every square inch of that beast light tan. Half way through I was like hmmm, I probably could have just used tan mod podge... Anyways, another great video as usual!
The swirling is called scumbling and it is a blending technique used to hide lines in brush strokes. This is particular useful for painting with a square brush.
"If any of you pass by the Bag end... Tea's at four. There's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime.. Oh,and.. Don't bother knocking" Bilbo best character ♥
everytime you post i'm like "oh this is going to be cool, he's so good at doing small details" and then i sit here amazed bc its always even more minute than i expected... and you still get such intricate details! the door knob is THE HEAD OF A PIN its so tiny i can't even
I just LOVE every project of yours, but your humor really keeps me wanting more. That part with the tree made me laugh so damn hard. Keep doing what you do!
I am still amazed how in each of your videos you start the build, and my reaction is "How the heck is this going to work?" then by the time you're done I'm blown away with how great they look and how intricate the details can be. Thank you for the mini lesson on alcohol and glue in this video. It never occurred to me before why you do it, but explaining it now it makes complete sense. Great job!
Hey, I start a lot of these things thinking almost the exact same thing, "how the hell is this gonna work..." And you're welcome! It's one of those things that's always shown/done but rarely explained!
@@NorthoftheBorder On another note, when I first got the gag with your bloody fingers from the wire tree reminded me of my all time favorite meme video "Blood?!? Not funny!" Also "It must be difficult to make a hobbit hill out of Styrofoam." "Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience"
Bring a Bob Ross painting into 3D? Very interesting. The humor in this is hilarious. Think I might need to subscribe so I don't lose track of the channel
Heeey, how holey are your hobbit holes getting (weird sentence)? You've spoiled us with stuff like the fully interiored Tavern, so I'm expecting literally big things.
@@NorthoftheBorder Yeah buddy! You could say they're some holey holes lol. And thanks man, that tavern is till sitting on my shelf unfinished but is officially penciled in on my schedule for completion, finally. But yeah, hobbit holes galore on their way!
I was so excited to see another video from you! Absolutely love your work, including your brilliant editing. Had me in tears laughing at the tree building.
Watching you put the amount of time and effort into each teeny tiny detail makes me wanna strive to be even better at everything I do. Thanks for being an inspiration all the time!! :))
This was some fine work! That static-y grass is ✨magical✨stuff, and so is your beautiful tree, despite the 🩸BLooDY🩸MesS🩸that were your hands. Lol. You have patience galore, Adam!!!
This is incredible .I love all the tiny details that bring it to life.The tree looks so realistic too and it does look just like it’s meant to.your talent never ceases to amaze me 😊
I truly don't know how you manage to top each of your builds. I keep thinking "this is the best one yet", and then you release a new video and outdo yourself. Amazing work Adam
@@NorthoftheBorder it is not only the building part which gets progressively better, your skills at making entertaining videos, are increasing rapidly as well.
I love _everything_ about this. The sound design, the puns, the fine irony, the educational value, the narration, the blood, sweat and tears,... *everything.* Mostly the blood, really. ...oh, and the build is cool, too.
Lung cancer 😂😂😂 On a serious note this is bomb I must copy you and have one of my own... You have the patience of Gandalf when he speaks in riddles and just waits for everybody to figure it out 🧙♂️
I love the sound effects and comedy just as much as learning how the madness leads to your amazing creations. You can't see it, but I'm giving a standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stumbling across your channel early on a Sunday morning here in sunny old England, UK. You are brilliantly talented. AND hilarious! Can't wait to watch the rest of your vids! Thank you, Lizzie x
The lung cancer haze had me. The One Strike Filler gag had me pml "The Tit". Then the tree making had me ROF in a puddle of my own wee. I really needed this today. Thank you
My entire experience with the tree making was "Oh watch your hand.. oh gosh wash your hand???,,.. YOUR HAND??????;; ..Oh it's fake ok... ,,that's a lot of paint oh gosh.,; he's still going okay,, ggfhhhnngng blood,,
@@NorthoftheBorder Ah, a true artist. I do the same thing myself with digital art, delete entire layers because they didn't work as I expected, and never let anyone know they existed. It may still look terrible at the end, but they will never know how bad it could have been. :P
Why can't I adopt you?!?!?! I laughed more times during this video than I have all week! Thank you, sir! Well done! What did you use to stain the fence posts other than blood, sweat, and tears?
I'm barely house broken, I wouldn't make a good adoptee. It's just thinned out paint. I put it all in a cup and then swirl it together and leave it to dry. Then I carefully line the camera up so that it looks like there isn't an hour or two between hand shakes...
Thank you.... thank you very much! I was just saying this morning that my computer monitor could use a generous spay of coffee whilst laughing my arse off..... LUV the tree making, Amigo ! 🤣🤣☕🤣🤣
I believed the first 2-3 'blood spots' but after that I realised the joke. This is why i like your videos so much, your not only skilled but you also make the videos funny to watch.
This is my favourite build I’ve ever seen EVER! It is so beautiful and the detailing is just absolutely jaw dropping...I love everything LOTR that you do, but this is just so special!
Cheers from Scotland! Thanks for the support! We're getting there--I've been told RUclips is a Marathon, rather than a sprint, so I'll just keep putting these silly videos out and hoping people watch them.
pro tip I learned from Luke Towan's channel, vacuum up the loose grass through a pantyhose or something similar to save it all! you will save a lot of grass this way especially in the long run 👌
Genuinely will never understand how you build this stuff so fast, it's insane! Super lovely, if only all housing could look like The Shire. Let's be honest, we're definitely missing out with modern architecture.
I don't let silly things like "relationships with loved ones" or "eating and sleeping" get in the way. For what it's worth, I remember reading recently (accidental aliterations for everyone!) that with the upsurge in tiny homes people are starting to look at "earth sheltered" homes since they're so heat and space effecient.
excellent video, however, it's "palette", not "palate"! what foam to use for the main volumes? I think I heard "insulation" foam, but there's gotta be different types I suppose? EDIT: so this would be XPS as well... I suppose there's not much difference with the kind you'd buy from a crafts supply shop?

Cool acupuncture tutorial
You and Adam are my most favourite RUclipsrs to watch. You guys always crack me up! :o)
I'm... _branching_ out...
Is that real blood?
Or even yours?
Edit: nevermind you just bleed terracotta paint
@@NorthoftheBorder At least you're not 'rooting' yourself.
Lol!!
The view... inside the hallway... you can see in to the little hallway.... my heart can't take it 😭❤ Easily one of my favourite builds ever.
Ya! it worked out alright after all--I wasn't sure if it the light would even turn on after all that!
@@NorthoftheBorder phew - the gods of tiny electrics were smiling upon you on that day, oh intrepid creator
Hi Adam! This is the first video we have ever seen of yours. You are amazingly talented, but your commentary is best. Thank you for all you do!
Honestly, how does he not have a million subscribers?!
I'm always amazed at the things you make. I love everything about you channel! 😍
Thank you for the laughs.
Lol love the tree edit 🩸
Looks great, Adam!
Heckin' best.
Hahahaaa funny but awesome!!!! Nice job!!!
Very cute 😍
Love it!!
And love a good Wilhelm scream #Klingons
at 16.00 is a splatter movie!!!
Your poor hands😂
R u from nz
The tree making part killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what a coincidence--it almost killed me too!
Dude honestly one of my favorite bits ever
I CRIED!! 🤣🤣
Yep. someone had fun with the red paint XD
That is one of the funniest things i have seen in a loooong time. Thank you.
Oh my god, I’m dying. The progressive blood loss cracked me up.
No, he is
It cracked him up, too...
I've seen all your works, but I'm leaving a comment for the first time.

It's soft and sentimental.

Anyways, another great video as usual!
yes i do think it is beautiful.
Make a wooden boy
The increasingly bloody hand though😂 Thank you for explaining what the isopropyl alcohol does!
It's also useful for cleaning up and tree-related messes
The swirling is called scumbling and it is a blending technique used to hide lines in brush strokes. This is particular useful for painting with a square brush.
I KNEW IT. I'M AN ARTIST!
i also find swirling with a moppy brush makes it easier to get into all the little crevices.
@@NorthoftheBorder ....why have you ever doubted that?
"That artist is a little tipsy and he's scumbling all over the place."
One of the favorite builds of yours!
I can just imagine Frodo passed out in the entryway!
@@NorthoftheBorder
Yes! And Sam hiding in the bushes 🤣

This is a flipp’n adorable hobbit hole. Nicely done as ever.
everytime you post i'm like "oh this is going to be cool, he's so good at doing small details" and then i sit here amazed bc its always even more minute than i expected... and you still get such intricate details! the door knob is THE HEAD OF A PIN its so tiny i can't even
I like pins because whenever I cut them into smaller pieces, I inevitably lose a piece, only to find it with my bare feet later
you cant even what

omg yes!!!!!
The way you made the tree was very interesting and I appreciate the breakdown of why the isopropyl alcohol works with the glue.
Heeeey I'm going to be doing some hobbit holes coming up here! You beat me to it. Love your take and love the channel man! 🙂💛

I miiight be a little bit LoTR-damaged but I read your name Real Terrain Hobbits at first...😄
I was so excited to see another video from you! Absolutely love your work, including your brilliant editing. Had me in tears laughing at the tree building.
I had me in tears too, but for a different reason, I think.
Took me a few minutes to adjust to the scale you built this at. For a while I thought your fingers were just MASSIVE.
I'm gona get a bunch of randomly sized objects to have in the background so you never really know--is this guy huge, tiny, or something in between?
That tree looks so good, totally worth the blood loss. Especially how the roots look gnarly n all that. Fun stuff dude.
Watching you put the amount of time and effort into each teeny tiny detail makes me wanna strive to be even better at everything I do. Thanks for being an inspiration all the time!! :))

Really appreciating the demo about the alcohol. I've seen that on a few channels and I had definitely been wondering what the deal was. Thanks!
That tree gag was so hilarious, I've been wheezing for 3 minutes
Day off, slept in, a good ass breakfast, cup of coffee, and a new video. Today is a good day.
Just need a couple more cups of coffee to really round things out.
I truly don't know how you manage to top each of your builds. I keep thinking "this is the best one yet", and then you release a new video and outdo yourself. Amazing work Adam
Thanks! I'm glad you like them! I like to think that I'm getting a bit better with each video, so hopefully it keeps one getting better
@@NorthoftheBorder it is not only the building part which gets progressively better, your skills at making entertaining videos, are increasing rapidly as well.
@@TheHolm I suppose it's a skill like any other--and one I'm brand new to, so the improvements should be noticeable on a per video basis, I hope!
11:50 - yes, make sure to remove all the little Klingons, they're much too violent to be living with hobbits.
I love _everything_ about this. The sound design, the puns, the fine irony, the educational value, the narration, the blood, sweat and tears,... *everything.* Mostly the blood, really.
...oh, and the build is cool, too.
Lung cancer 😂😂😂
On a serious note this is bomb I must copy you and have one of my own...
You have the patience of Gandalf when he speaks in riddles and just waits for everybody to figure it out 🧙♂️
Finally someone shows how to build a wire tree, safely and cleanly, without hurting yourself - much appreciated 👍
I'm all about safety here.
If you see this you probably went down the same hole as me. and watched so many of adams vids that your down here with me. - made in 2024😅
Basically, when it’s the lord of the rings I’m happy. So yhea good job, look amazing!
Nice, but your poor hands 🌳 i fault bad 😢for them but excellent little homes that it turned out awesome
I love the sound effects and comedy just as much as learning how the madness leads to your amazing creations. You can't see it, but I'm giving a standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thumbnail already looks amazing, this is gonna be a good watch
are you going to make everything in the WORLD... It's adorable. Alright?
Well if I aim to make everything, at least it means I should always have an idea for next week.
@@NorthoftheBorder I will make something LOTR themed one day... so don't make it all
@@NorthoftheBorder I can't wait for the episode when you make my house tiny and adorable!
@@BillMakingStuff My understanding is that there's upwards of 3 or 4 videos worth of stuff to make in the LotR so there's probably some stuff left
The lung cancer haze had me. The One Strike Filler gag had me pml "The Tit". Then the tree making had me ROF in a puddle of my own wee. I really needed this today. Thank you
My entire experience with the tree making was "Oh watch your hand.. oh gosh wash your hand???,,.. YOUR HAND??????;; ..Oh it's fake ok... ,,that's a lot of paint oh gosh.,; he's still going okay,, ggfhhhnngng blood,,
That was really something, it's that kind of videos that make me want to make dioramas again, thanks for this :)
Glad to hear it! No better time than right now to get back into it!
THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT I could never make this but WOW 😍
It still blows my mind how you get all of the sizes right
To be fair things get remade with some regularity--you really only see the pieces that are done properly/properly enough.
@@NorthoftheBorder Ah, a true artist. I do the same thing myself with digital art, delete entire layers because they didn't work as I expected, and never let anyone know they existed. It may still look terrible at the end, but they will never know how bad it could have been. :P

You should try to make the pirates airship from Laputa, Castle in the Sky. I think it’s called the tiger moth. Also nice vid!
Thank you.... thank you very much! I was just saying this morning that my computer monitor could use a generous spay of coffee whilst laughing my arse off.....
LUV the tree making, Amigo ! 🤣🤣☕🤣🤣
I don't know why but this video is one of my comforts. Whenever I'm having a bad day or feeling down, I find myself coming back to this video.
i love the little sound effects. 🤣 always make me laugh.
I love these! How about a diorama for a gaming PC. The LEDs can be hooked up to the motherboard. Something like Cyberpunk???
Amei o humor da edição do vídeo e é claro resultado ficou incrível também, parabéns!
I believed the first 2-3 'blood spots' but after that I realised the joke. This is why i like your videos so much, your not only skilled but you also make the videos funny to watch.
The fake blood/red paint when he was making the tree cracked me up the whole time! You've earned a sub and a like, my fellow nerdy friend :)
You should do more lotr models. And your humor has evolved perfectly. It’s nice going back and looking at some of your older ish content.
Unbelievable beautiful build and great humor, pratical progress. So fun to watch! Thank you!
I just watched disk 1 of Fellowship of the ring: extended version not even a minute ago.
I was laughing so hard by the time you finished sculpting the wires 😂😂😂😂😂
Woodland Scenics Clump Foliage is to North of the Border and Studson as dry white wine is to Adam Ragusea.
Putting green stuff on other stuff is my spirit animal
@@NorthoftheBorder It's the simple pleasures!
The Black and brown mod podge part made me laugh so hard! 🤣 and I have said it before, but your editing is just amazing!
You know, it wasn't even until I started editing that I thought, "hey... wait a minute..."
Legend says he put his blood,sweat, and very fine tears into this🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice bit with the tree bending by the way 😂
Love the Ryan George reference, your videos are amazing my dude, keep it up.
I know absolutely nothing about sculpting by I love your videos
Have you thought about doing other buildings from lotr and the hobbit
Holy hairy hobbit feet! I didn't realise bag end was so massive
Super satisfying to watch you build this. I had no idea how tiny it was and the tree part got me.
This is my favourite build I’ve ever seen EVER! It is so beautiful and the detailing is just absolutely jaw dropping...I love everything LOTR that you do, but this is just so special!
“You can’t see the bricks, because of the paint, but we both know it’s there!”
I lol-ed so loud, I woke my parents up!!! 😂
Why don’t you make stuff like this anymore? 😢
Love the hobbit hole, 11/10 for extra creativity with the ‘fake’ blood making the tree 😂 made me laugh x
Underhangs! How dare you not make an eaves joke!
MAN that stop motion fence part really satisfied my soul
seriously man, ur channel deserves more love! Good luck! and keep up the good effort! cheers from Morocco!
Cheers from Scotland! Thanks for the support! We're getting there--I've been told RUclips is a Marathon, rather than a sprint, so I'll just keep putting these silly videos out and hoping people watch them.
They could use this as an ad to get people to donate blood.
this is so satisfying, been binging your videos lately :D would love a beginner tutorial video with all the basic techniques and material 😍
I absolutely love your sense of humor 😂😂😂
I loved how you used paint to look like blood 😂
your work is so cool! I want to be as talented as you!
pro tip I learned from Luke Towan's channel, vacuum up the loose grass through a pantyhose or something similar to save it all! you will save a lot of grass this way especially in the long run 👌
Eye of Sauron next? Lol. Gotta have a dynamic between the two!
What do you do when your done with theses nerdy things?
"Somehow I'm feeling a little dizzy right now..." 😁 Very cool build - again!
The shakes don’t work trust me I tried
Thank you RUclips algorithm for bringing me to my new favorite channel!
Ya! Thanks algorithm! You're doing fine work!
I absolutely loved the blood parody

For what it's worth, I remember reading recently (accidental aliterations for everyone!) that with the upsurge in tiny homes people are starting to look at "earth sheltered" homes since they're so heat and space effecient.
excellent video, however, it's "palette", not "palate"! what foam to use for the main volumes? I think I heard "insulation" foam, but there's gotta be different types I suppose?
EDIT: so this would be XPS as well... I suppose there's not much difference with the kind you'd buy from a crafts supply shop?
