One can get so much mileage out of your "slice, twist" technique with the knife to get incredible looking stone. I can't imagine ever bothering with wet work like clay or casting when you can do this and get instant results.
We were at the keep, everybody had matching cowls; somebody climbed up to the clock, and there they saw a rock. But it wasn't a rock... it was a Rock Monster!
Cthulhus Dream Funny I was thinking the exact opposite, the raw foam looked like some snow/ice monster and I kept thinking how it's been a wile since my players have been stuck in a blizzard :) hmmm...
Hell yes! You could make all sorts of versions of this. Imagine a earth elemental with crystals, or a ice elemental.. There are even glow-in-the-dark paints you could use for some kind of magical construct. So many possibilities!
Fizzlefuse ouuuu little glow in the dark mishrooms!! ♡.♡ why am I so excited by this? I imagine a show called pimp my golem and the host is his little bad ass gnome... okayyy time for dodo.
I plan to make one of these that looks just like a rock feature and have the players battle around it. Then, near the end of the battle, when they think they're done, I'll stand it up and the fight will continue.
Makes me laugh that you are being sponsored by a company that sells minis... then you go ahead and just made your own! LOL No but really, great build and great instructions, as usual!
A wild thought hit me: that think would look really awesome with some heavy rings embedded in its arms and broken chains hanging from them. I think anyway.
So many alternates could be made like this Rock,Lava, Water, Fire,Ice and Earth spring to mind I'm sure there's even more you could think up. Came out looking like a high dollar large boss monster.
This is an awesome tutorial! I had been wanting to do something like for a long time but I wasn't really seeing the process in my head very well so I kept putting it off. Thanks to BMC's video I was able to get the inspiration for my own "Greater Earth Elemental" and I was very happy with the results. You can check it out in the Tabletop Crafters Guild - facebook.com/groups/dmscottyscraftsngames/ or my Facebook page "Wicked Wabbit Designs" - facebook.com/WickedWabbit/ ~ Thanks Jeremy!
Yea I like it on most stuff, but I wouldn't recommend on on actual minis as it can slightly yellow over time. With terrain (or rock monster) that's not really a huge issue.
Ah, yes, Miniature Market. A company that is known to withold packages without giving refunds. Thankfully it didn't happen with my order from them, though.
I could so see this thing hugging up against a cliff blending in. As soon as the characters get close by and revealing this thing will make their jaws drop in amazement and terror. Awesome build man!👍🔥
Cool I was in a game and our GM did domething similar using expanding foam chunks. Made an earth titan than wrecked like two cities before we managed to wish it away lol.
THANK YOU so much for such a fantastic, easy to follow and build-yourself tutorial video. I have wanted to make something like this for a long time, just for fun, but didn't think to use foam, thinking wire and milliput would have to do instead. This is something I can do all day now, making a "small" army of these creatures, from all the pieces of foam I have left after building terrain. I already have ideas for both "male" & "female" figures, which are making me laugh before I even get started. I've subscribed to your channel now, as you are so inspiring, and I'm learning some great new tips after over 40 years of model making :-) Again, thank you for such a fun and easy to build-yourself tutorial. Paul
"Stop playing with the mini's!!!!!" Me at my kids every damn game. Going to give them some they can play with, so they dont mess with ones in play... (they are 15)
omer yolal so I am doing some ice terrain, and found that if you base your terrain in white, then do a wash of a very light blue but not cover everything. Then I add pearlecent white and a thin coat of hologram paint ( glue and iridescent glitter can substitute for hologram paint) I find it gives a nice ice effect. Then I just add hot glue icesicles. I have some pictures on my Instagram account @damselsindungeons
Listen I'm just saying If you made one of those toys that's like an action figure being held together by string and they stand up when you pull on it, you could make a really cool "Summon" effect with a stone golem that way Imagine the shock of the players face when they see the pile of rocks stand up
Dude i play 40k so my models are already basically built but my god this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen and i wanna build one just for a diorama. Fantastic job man
This is one of my favorite builds and one of my favorite videos! I've watched it numerous times and finally built a Golem of my own! (I wish I could give it more than just one like) Now I'm just waiting for the Mod Podge/black paint to dry so I can add sand and start painting! My son-in-law is the DM and I think he'll flip over this! Thanks, Jeremy!
They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were. (sighs) My little friends... the little man with his racing-snail. The nighthob... even the stupid bat! I couldn't hold onto them... the Nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed.
Imagine how cool this would be if you made a negative space inside of a cliff face for this thing. Have it completely surprise players while it's sitting there right in front of them. Blow their minds. There'd definitely be some issues making that work but nothing impossible I suspect.
I like your videos but find it annoying that you show the finished piece Before you make it. I get Why. ..I just personally find showing the finished piece before the build ruins the Trip getting there.
I know you don't like magnets, but this would be a perfect use case for them. Hide magnets in the hips, shoulders, and neck (elbows and knees if you wanted to), then you can hide the pieces close together in your terrain where they won't assemble until the PCs trigger it.
I suggest investing in slice proof gloves Slice proof not stab proof So some care is still needed For a stone golem Could you use your baking soda super glue combo but with sand mixed in to hide the seams between the pieces? I get ideas from videos like these.
This is not an “easy” build! How in da world do you make it look like rock? I quest I really do need inch and a half I tried to glue two pieces of half inch together, but nope! So I put it with the rest of the garbage hahaha
I love your videos, been watching all of them I think. Constructive feedback: Minor issue with the music on this one, could be toned down a little bit perhaps? Also, please try to NOT shake the object you are showing us. I understand that you are enthusiastic, but it makes it really hard to actually see the object properly. Please try to just hold it still instead, or perhaps have it standing on a small table in front of you? :D Anyways, keep up the great work!
I really want to make a translucent slime miniature for a player charachter I believe there called slimefolk any ideas how to go about building this. Thanks and these videos are awesome
I have found grass tufts from Wish that were good but super cheap even with shipping They were ok I know they aren't as nice as army painter or some of the others because they need to be glued by you but if we are on a budget
How have I been actively following you for at least 3 years now and constantly waiting on new content (not a bad thing) but haven't seen this video wth
I had an idea today to make something like this, but then cut it in half in such a way that you can put part of it in the terrain as a piece of scatter terrain. Then when it rises from the ground you pull out the other piece and reconnect them.
I tried making one and mine came out looking like a rockbrother and rocksister got married and had a inbred rockbaby and it grew up into a cartoon golem. Lmao
How did i mis this video? It dropped 2 day's after my birthday?! damn, wel i have a lot of scraps so i got to work today on building this one, and thank you cthuhlus dream for the inspiration of turning this into a lava beast. I'm painting mine to be a fire elemental :-). Thanks to you both!!
Cool build, but i used 1cm thin sheets of cork when i created mine, to better simulate the sedimented rocks, i thnk they give a better and more natural look to the earth golem, instead of boulders, and sice mine was an orc construct for the head i put a plastic bit of a orc standard bearer cow head wirh horns, to simulate a ritual mask for the golem
I live in Australia and was just wondering with the polyurethane I can't find the one you use in any of my stores and I don't have the time or money to experiment with other brands do you have to finish with polyurethane or is it just a preference awesome miniature it gets the imagination running keep the vids coming
Because of this video now I can't stop thinking how to make all 4 elementals... Earth done, fire should be easy, I'm building water one in my head for a whole day, but no idea about air... And dear Sir, you are too be blamed! :-D great idea, I'm going to try build something like that tomorrow.
Looks amazing as always! Just recently got into miniatures and everything D&D. Love your channel and everything you’ve done, thank you for all your hard work making and filming everything!
Getting too ad heavy. The outside Ads are interrupting your sales pitches......not good. It could cost you in the long run....I understand the nature of the beast, but you might give this some thought
After watching your channel for almost two years I’m finally gonna make something lol. I’m going back to this video and it will be my order build ever. I’m excited
Is it possible to do this with things other than stone creatures? Like a turasqic or other big beasty? Im interested in doing this method for building my big beasty figurines because im too broke to buy premade ones.
Having trained multiple people on how to use a kitchen knife, seeing you cut towards yourself with the utility knife brought back some old school stress.
I am new to crafting minis. This was the first boss monster I have made. Me, my wife and my 6 year old girl had so much fun with this creature in our last game. Thank you man!

Cool build. I would have left the eye holes open and placed some cheap stones/gems in them.
You should try war machine minis there cool looking and fun to paint (use super glue to assemble)
There should be a movement to call oversized monster minis “Biggies”
Biggiatures
Mini chungies (chungus)? 😂
2 years later and I cannot accept that this comment has not become a parole
@@Diortelon I was GOING to say this!
Maxis.
Awesome, simply awesome!
I was doing some carving with an scrap piece of utility blade and was about to cut myself watching this part where he say don't cut yourself
Thank you sir
Groovy
i would be hard pushed to restrict myself from building it 2 feet plus in height.
Add crystals on the back and it'll look even cooler

Just what I needed, my players will love seeing it but their characters will not. 😈
Ha! Good way to put it
One can get so much mileage out of your "slice, twist" technique with the knife to get incredible looking stone. I can't imagine ever bothering with wet work like clay or casting when you can do this and get instant results.
Mostly I just hate waiting for things like clay to dry
We were at the keep, everybody had matching cowls; somebody climbed up to the clock, and there they saw a rock. But it wasn't a rock... it was a Rock Monster!
For some reason in my head I read that as "But it wasn't a rock... It was a Iraq Lobster!"
That would be cool as hell as a lava monster. base it in bright yellow and dry brush red orange and black over it all
You could get away with doing the build exactly the same, just need a different paintjob
Cthulhus Dream Funny I was thinking the exact opposite, the raw foam looked like some snow/ice monster and I kept thinking how it's been a wile since my players have been stuck in a blizzard :) hmmm...

I would base it in black
If you want it to have even more balance, make it have on huge arm that rests on the ground.
I plan to make one of these that looks just like a rock feature and have the players battle around it. Then, near the end of the battle, when they think they're done, I'll stand it up and the fight will continue.
That sounds really cool

Put a black mineral deposit off its back and See if anyone in your group get the reference to breath of the Wild.

This is a great way to incorporate Miniatures into your terrain channel. I'm really digging this episode. He rocks.
Ha
badum tsss
Easiest way to avoid cutting yourself: don't cut toward your hand, always cut away.
He looks awesome, reminds me of the rock monster from 'Galaxy Quest'...👾😎😊

That turned out really nice! Excellent project for a boss guardian. I will have to take a look at that minwax spray and try it out.
Yea I like it on most stuff, but I wouldn't recommend on on actual minis as it can slightly yellow over time. With terrain (or rock monster) that's not really a huge issue.
Good to know!
Ah, yes, Miniature Market. A company that is known to withold packages without giving refunds. Thankfully it didn't happen with my order from them, though.
I could so see this thing hugging up against a cliff blending in. As soon as the characters get close by and revealing this thing will make their jaws drop in amazement and terror. Awesome build man!👍🔥
That looks absolutely fantastic. Truly inspired piece
the touch of the final scene with the elemental in action is the best! :D
12:32 most epic fight scene I've ever seen
Really cool
Cool I was in a game and our GM did domething similar using expanding foam chunks. Made an earth titan than wrecked like two cities before we managed to wish it away lol.

You should male some custom treefolk! That would be intense!
Not sure if I missed this in a pervious video but anyone know what/where he got those paint bottle racks/holders at?
www.shiftinglands.com
I agree lava or even an ice golem. Totally cool. Now how would you do a chain golem?
"Stop playing with the mini's!!!!!"
Me at my kids every damn game. Going to give them some they can play with, so they dont mess with ones in play... (they are 15)
OMG this is a freaking awesome build. Going to have to make one for my future God of War series.
Thanks man!
MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL
The bit about covering gaps with moss and glue reminds me of Bob Ross - Same sort of wholesome helpfulness in these videos. Love it.
I always appreciate your videos, but this is extra marvellous! And, I'll probably copy the idea :P
Do it!
Totally making and ice elemental with Crystal shards!
Mary Weaver I was thinking the same but thinking about how to paint. Whatever colour I choose, it will not have that icy transparent look. Any ideas?

Great idea actually, I'm following you on Instagram now. devilean_blackheart, you can see my lazy work there. :)
This is an amazing build. Beats anything i can do on my 3d printer!
Please make more of these amazing large scale creatures!
Listen
I'm just saying
If you made one of those toys that's like an action figure being held together by string and they stand up when you pull on it, you could make a really cool "Summon" effect with a stone golem that way

Great idea thank you for the inspiration! I just finished my earth elemental I think first time is a success
If not friend, why friend shaped? It's adorable!
this is a great base idea for a lot of chunky bad guys. Lava monster, giant snow monster a la Frozen, and of course a Rock Monstaaaaaa

Awesome build! I love it!!!!
I bet he owns a dollar store... he’s profiting off us taking the cheap options :o
Once it went black my brain wouldve made it obsidian and it wouldve been more of a lava monster.
How did i mis this video? It dropped 2 day's after my birthday?! damn, wel i have a lot of scraps so i got to work today on building this one, and thank you cthuhlus dream for the inspiration of turning this into a lava beast. I'm painting mine to be a fire elemental :-). Thanks to you both!!
Very cool! Looks like it is bigger than a 2"x2" base for the large creature.
ya be careful! soft boy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's Gerignec from Galaxy Quest!
Big miniature? A bigature?
Granditure
can you make a rock lava like this 2 will be cool to see you do it started on a map for a fraind and got lots of info from what you make
Lol love the little play video near the end. I busted laughing after narrating it.
Does miniature market sell friends for me to play this hobby with
At the end that monster was dropping players till the paladin smited the hell out of it 😂
gonna use the black primer and a bit of higlight for an obsidian golem.
I really like this. Looks great.
Cool build, but i used 1cm thin sheets of cork when i created mine, to better simulate the sedimented rocks, i thnk they give a better and more natural look to the earth golem, instead of boulders, and sice mine was an orc construct for the head i put a plastic bit of a orc standard bearer cow head wirh horns, to simulate a ritual mask for the golem
pics or it didn't happen
Black Magic Craft lmao
That is awesome! Next project selected 👍🏿
How the heck do you keep your glue gun from getting gunked up???
So at 12:56 how many d6 or d8 or d10 damage did that poor fighter take?
I live in Australia and was just wondering with the polyurethane I can't find the one you use in any of my stores and I don't have the time or money to experiment with other brands
do you have to finish with polyurethane or is it just a preference
awesome miniature it gets the imagination running
keep the vids coming
It offers added protection but is not crucial. Many people don’t bother.
Also can you spray the wash on the dungeon tiles or is that too messy
Cutting towards yourself with tension at 3:45 gave me anxiety lol cool build but be careful dude!
edit: *comes back with a Band-Aid at 5:42....
Oh no! A tiny cut!
I love this build. I've got to do this one in multiples.
Lol. Love how you have it stomping on the PCs.

I don’t place RUclips ads manually. YT does it. If it’s not than one in the video it’s likely a glitch.
THAT Is a good idea! Thanks!
I always need a Ton of Elementals in different sizes, so... HELPFUL!
After watching your channel for almost two years I’m finally gonna make something lol. I’m going back to this video and it will be my order build ever. I’m excited
Whats your black wash consist of? Looks amazing with the spray application..
ah, the classic 360 dagger dive DDT at the end. Gotta love those Fighter Maneuvers. lmao!!
Is it possible to do this with things other than stone creatures? Like a turasqic or other big beasty? Im interested in doing this method for building my big beasty figurines because im too broke to buy premade ones.
You are only limited by your creativity and what you are willing to try. No one is stopping you from building whatever you want, just give it a go!

I am new to crafting minis. This was the first boss monster I have made. Me, my wife and my 6 year old girl had so much fun with this creature in our last game. Thank you man!
You should try kiwi black and brown shoe polish. It’s makes a great wash and really gives stone good color.
Watching you play with your minis like action figures is so damn wholesome. ☺️💜
Obviously you wouldn't put a video of you cutting yourself on here, but I was real nervous there at the beginning haha.
This is awesome! I love buying miniatures but there’s nothing better than making things myself especially when they look as cool as this!
