Stacks of crates being delivered, both closed and open topped. A broken down (or parked) wagon full of hay, crates, or barrels being delivered. Perhaps a load of wood or coffins? You did mention that your world is a dark fantasy.
The moment between when you're first looking at the mat and when you start the video is honestly such purely good display and showmanship. The kindness and sincerity and purely good humor with which you handle your fan base, videos, and craft really just ping you as the official Mr. Rogers of tabletop. Thank you for another great video Jeremy, I'm working up the courage to start crafting!
Very nice. Your setting doesn't have to be too miserable to have a busted looking board though, my town's community notice board has almost completely fogged glass, and half the letters are missing so it reads "notice boar" now.
Have you tried using a tea bag on paper to "age it"? That is what I used when I was a kid to make "treasure map".

Hey! A small printing advice: if you have a file for instance A4 size, but want to create a thumb size piece, open it in photoshop or any other decent image manipulation software, and set the resolution (dpi) to 600-1200 depending on your home printer's capabilities, without changing the dimensions (pixel width x height). After this step, go ahead and change the dimensions without affecting the resolution. This will result in the best possible quality of image size reduction. But the best you can get is to use vector graphics at a ridiculously high DPI setting, as high as possible. Plus before printing try to desaturate and level out the image to get the crispest lines before downscaling. Hope it helps, keep up the brilliant channel mate! Cheers!
Dude try Mod Podge next time for glueing the posters on. That’s basically decoupage you were doing and Mod Podge was made for this. Also - thanks for inspiring my next project! :D
Very nice item. I actually like that your, um, "laziness" gave the board a contoured base with some height that you chose to accent with the putty and foliage. The hot-glue leveling trick is my big takeaway from this one, I already have a build that will benefit from that. - Since seeing my first of your videos less than 6 months ago, I've already built some goblin barricades, some terrain stone from xps packing material, and some block walls from florist foam (had some from running a LARP a couple of decades ago). I am mid-process on set of mix-and-match weathered fort walls from some really horrible craft foam and a lot of popsicle stick accents.
@@alsocupcakes8885 How do you mean? No foam should be burnt, as most have fumes that are unpleasant to downright toxic. Also, don't eat foam. Florist foam is safe enough to be used in floral arrangements that go to hospitals and baby showers. The only real hazard I can think of is that floral foam makes a MASSIVE mess when you cut, press, abrade, or even handle it while it is dry. I used mine because that's what I had on hand, and I had enough to make brick wall scatter pieces.
Those wooden planks are awsome. Great little build, Jeremy! MASTER! Also I share the same feeling that a detailed base make always a huge difference... Bravo!
I think if I was to make a "Bulletin Board" I would use left over spru bits, stir sticks, popsicle sticks. Thanks for the info. Am right now working on making things that would fit with "Warcry" so towers and walkways. Some ideas, market and blacksmith look nice in a town. The weirwood tree (face tree in game of thrones). Wardrums, cauldron, and effigy (Nick Cage Wicker Man style). I have things inspired from "TheDMsCraft" wagons, barrels, boxes, wells, train tracks and karts.
More town scatter ideas. -wagons -farmers market stalls (selling fruits, veggies, herbs, cloth, jewelry, potions, sculptures) -traveling stage (minis can be actors, singers, hawkers of the latest snake oil, religious zealots. Douchey guys can be selling slaves you need to rescue. Also a good reason to have a crowd gathered) -stocks -a horse trough and hitch -my daughter has also suggested teddy bears and bunnies
Herb Gardens.... Laundry at a fountain.... wheelbarrows and carts with various produce or material..... Boundry Fences..... Outbuildings for storage or animals..... signposts..... rock and scrub/grass denoting travel routes etc........ basicly i just googled The Witcher 3 for tonnes of ideas :P that game looks so good. Gonna have to make a noticeboard though, great fluff piece and looks cool, cheers for the build!
For the posters, you should try coffee. A regular sheet of printing paper, with the designs, and simply pour a cup of coffee over it. Let it soak real good, probably giving it a few coats very varying intervals, before letting it dry completely. Dunno how well it works in this instance, but its been used in role playing, when we were in the need of something resembling old parchtments.
As usual great build. Next time you need to make posters try a fine line pen and lightly make squiggly lines over the pixels. I've done that with tiny scrolls and it works pretty well. Also for affixing them to the board how bout the plain Mod Podge, I mean it's what they make it for. Also I love the new game room/project room.
Love it! Going to make one of these soon. Love all the inspiration i get from your builds whenever I’m trying to think of something to build if I’m getting some creative block i love going through RUclips and taking bits from different videos and combining elements together. My next build will be a ruined clock tower and i think i will add one of these onto the side built into the clock tower for some more aesthetic. Thanks for the inspiration!
Jeremy, your videos just keep getting better and better, and I don't just mean the content! The time and effort that goes into the shooting and editing of these videos is apparent, especially to those of us who frequently go back and watch older videos of yours. Love this project!
Hey man if you are looking for a self contained great little skirmish game check out Moonstone. The miniatures alone will get you in and the game is great fun!
cannot get the poster files to load, links not working properly? other then that its a great build i've been thinking about building something similar too :D
Dude... THIS IS AWESOME!!! those fallen ads are fantastic. if I have to think about which pieces to add to a city I would suggest a drinking trough for horses or signs hanging from a pole. for a darker version you could build a scaffold or a bow with some hanged men as if it were an entrance to a dead city.
The Bulletin Board is a great idea. Thank you for the tutorial. From that I got the idea for a coach stop shelter. As we all know, there was a well working public traffic system of coach lines that connects all fantasy towns and villages in the fantasy worlds. Also Felstad was connected and so it needs some coach stops with little coach stop shelters for the waiting passengers. ;-) Beside the coach time table the walls were used for perfume banner ads or similar. And what the is the common word you use in english? Coach, Carriage, Wagon, Buckboard? :-D
Really nice bit of scatter terrain! I just got into Frostgrave and have been itching to get back into Mordheim at some point soon so I'm building lots of ruined, half-collapsed city buildings. I would love to see your take on something like that. Love the channel - keep up the awesome!
Great build! Would love to see some more small scale terrain builds like this. They fill up less of the table but really help bring it to life. On a side note, the beard is really coming along mate!
Great build, mate! I really like it. I think the posters actually look cool. And viewed from the gamer perspective looking down at them, the tiny detail issues don't matter really.
Your video quality, editing and entertainment value have greatly improved over time. I'm not even crafting at this point (Damn work/Life) but still love your videos!
After a few paper to terrain projects under my belt, I have found Aieleen's Tacky glue 50/50 with water and applied with a brush to be the best in my world. Rock on man, great vid! Keep it up, bro!
Wow thanks again - just found this channel one or two days ago but after absorbing quite a few movies it looks like I've been watching this for years :-) I was looking for the Proxxon thermocut and decded to order via your link and guess what: the Amazon offer was cheaper than any of my other suppliers 😍
If basing on cardboard, and the board starts warping, you can go a fair way to repair the damage with pvc glue. Coat the underside of the base with pvc glue all over. Prop up the terrain overnight to let it fully cure. It should help bend the cardboard the otherway. How much depends on how bowed it was, and the size of the actual terrain you built. And it also helps to protect the cardboard base from any drink spillage. 😉
I like this one , alot. I might try it out today or tomorrow. My little Hamlet needs one of these. It will go along with the street light, you made. I liked that one too. Lol. Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming.
Soldier's guard post, horse's watering-area, some little wood chages sticked together as a animal merchant outdoor shop, an outdoor weapons merchant. The easiest thing probably to make but with great effect : a big town's bonfire circled by a shot stonework for scenarios in winter or in cold habitats in mountains villages
Despite all the correction you had to make, I like it a lot. It has character, and like you said, the little details do add a lot. The posters look quite good to me.
I really love watching your videos! I have zero space to store anything I might build, so to keep peace with the Mistress of the House, I’ll watch the cool stuff you build! Do you ever video or post pics of your games using all your terrain & minis?
I've been gearing up for Frostgrave, but I'm a slow painter, so I decided to start with Relicblade for the smaller warbands and I don't have to snow up my terrain.
Nice. I'm guessing, then, that D&D has a somewhat unlikely take on literacy. In RQ this would serve no purpose. In WFRP this would result in mass executions and quite possibly the razing of the town in which it was found. Not that that has anything whatever to do with the piece, which, as I said, is nice. I'd have put archery targets on the back. People are going to use flat surfaces for things.
Fantastic little build. If your after posters of various designs go to the Crafting Muse Group page and in the File section is a folder called George Chase Posters overs 600+ poster designs/shop fronts and wanted posters......once again though fantastic little piece. I love your videos for the purpose you actually state when and how you may have made little mistakes.
I've been watching and enjoying your videos. I was a professional model maker for years, and thought that was all behind me. Damn you, you have sucked me back into it! I just ordered a hot wire cutter and some other stuff through your Amazon links. Well played, you demon spawn! (haha)
You beat me to it. I've had these printed out for several weeks but just been too busy building everything for White Plume Mountain. Turned out looking great brother!
This is perfect. I’m just working on a port town myself. It’s where most of my first few sections of the story will take place. This would be an amazing addition to it.
Looks great! There's always going to be some smaller projects like this that are fun breaks on a larger piece. As I've been looking more into Mordheim and Warcry, a good variety of filling the town with scatter terrain and vertical buildings is helpful.
Hello! Good video again! When you where searching how to make the base for your panel, I think about EPVC (Expanded PVC), it's my first choice building material. Not as cheap as MDF but I prefer to work with EPVC. Do you know this material? Have you tried it? I can find big sheets of 3mm and 5mm in all the craft stores in my country (Switzerland), and I can't think of building something without it!
New to this hobby and this channel. I was wondering (if you haven't had one yet) if you could make a bloopers video...explaining that these quick 10-30min build videos do take a lengthy piece of time to make. I almost got frustrated when I started thinking that I could build as fast as a properly edited video. I learned that it takes a whole lot of patience.
Nice BB - I think it can be used nicely for D&D. My groups don't always (usually never) explore all avenues once they find what they are looking for. This means they don't make it to the levels they should have. So I run side adventures and this will fit right into that role. One thing. The first link worked great. The other two gave me issues. #2 asked me to log into Facebook, which I did but then Facebook noted they were having trouble. The third link went to the Facebook entry but there was no link to the PDF.
Since you're into skirmish and doing post apoc I'd love to see tackle Gaslands terrain and especially how you'd approach the modding of matchbox and hotwheels cars. It's a scale smaller that you're used to and the vehicles are as much "characters" as any miniature figure (and there ARE figures to be painted too.) And the terrain is limitless, ruined cityscapes, desert outposts ala Mad Max, and tons of scatter terrain including wrecked vehicles and what triggered this idea, bill boards.
A cool trick I learned to make printed paper look like parchment. This may have helped with the aging issue. You'll need a cookie sheet (or some sort of large shallow pan or tray), Instant Tea and water. You take whatever it is you printed and crumple up the paper into a ball. Unfold the paper and crumple it again and repeat two to three times (the more times you do this, the more aged it looks). The idea is to create texture to trap the color from the tea. Once you've reached the level of texture you want, lay the paper out as flat a possible. Fill the cookie sheet with about 1/4" water. Dip one side of the paper into the water and slowly submerge the paper into the water. Once the paper is submerged and settled, sprinkle the tea into the water. Usually after two to three hours, I'll flip the paper and sprinkle a little more on the other side (you won't need as much tea as the front side). Let it dry on a flat surface (I've found outside in the sun works the best) and you should have some pretty nice looking aged paper/parchment. I use it for my player handouts in D&D. I've also done the same technique without wrinkling the paper to make a high end letter from the king. Roll the letter up, wrap a ribbon around it and make a wax seal (if you have the means). Hope these techniques can work for you, Jeremy. Thanks for all the videos and inspiration.
hey, if you're getting into skirmish games check out Mantic's Vanguard. i have played so, so many skirmish games and Vanguard is by far my favorite. Just the right amount of crunchiness mixed with simplicity. There are a ton of factions and items and the campaign/level up system is great
Just a thought... next time you want to print out weathered looking 'posters' like this, pick up a couple of pages of parchment-like paper at a print shop. By parchment, I mean not actual parchment, but a page style that is made to look like parchment scroll (I know they make it because I used some for a stack of resumes many years ago). The paper is already aged-looking and you could avoid the issue of running ink when you stain it yourself.
I was thinking of making the rugs from one of the crafting muse's videos but my printer is pretty shitty so I was constantly pushing it away. I have the skills to draw tiny carpet but really did feel like going through the trouble (like you and your wonky base😘) it never occured to me to go get it done at a shop, plus it woundn't be that expensive. Thank you for allowing me to endulge my lazy side and I hope it doesn't backfire on me like it did on you 😋
Perhaps a "warning" entry arch...with skulls displayed to show it's a village you dont want to mess with? A hill graveyard of those townsfolk killed in battle? Definitely a haunted tree is in order.
You can't do it on foam really but with your cast stuff have you have made creepers by super gluing a piece of lichen to the surface and then pulling it off once the glue cures? I find that it works really well for creeper/vine/moss things. Really interesting surface texture.

What are some other small to medium size pieces of terrain that could be used to populate a town?
Perhaps a well? I think you've already made a video of that, though. What about market stalls selling various products (fish, veggies etc.)?
@@eleftheriapinakoulaki9754 yea, I do already have the well video....but market stalls are actually on my to do list. My REAL to do list.
Stacks of crates being delivered, both closed and open topped. A broken down (or parked) wagon full of hay, crates, or barrels being delivered. Perhaps a load of wood or coffins? You did mention that your world is a dark fantasy.
Man, I kind of really love the idea of a cart full of coffins!!!
Fountain, Or Flower Shrines
This looks great. These little scatter pieces can really add something extra to a scene
Looks great! If you didn't have any ink handy to use on the posters, you could use a wet teabag and dab it on. It makes a great aged look to paper.
The tone and speaking on this video is the best you've ever done. Really, really great.
The moment between when you're first looking at the mat and when you start the video is honestly such purely good display and showmanship. The kindness and sincerity and purely good humor with which you handle your fan base, videos, and craft really just ping you as the official Mr. Rogers of tabletop. Thank you for another great video Jeremy, I'm working up the courage to start crafting!
As a Canadian, I prefer to be compared to Mr. Dressup.....but I'll take it ;)
Very nice. Your setting doesn't have to be too miserable to have a busted looking board though, my town's community notice board has almost completely fogged glass, and half the letters are missing so it reads "notice boar" now.
how do you make that trees ?
Have you tried using a tea bag on paper to "age it"? That is what I used when I was a kid to make "treasure map".
Hey! A small printing advice: if you have a file for instance A4 size, but want to create a thumb size piece, open it in photoshop or any other decent image manipulation software, and set the resolution (dpi) to 600-1200 depending on your home printer's capabilities, without changing the dimensions (pixel width x height). After this step, go ahead and change the dimensions without affecting the resolution. This will result in the best possible quality of image size reduction.

I must have watched this video on your patreon 3x plus another 2x on here. Dude this is killer! You should work on some stables next.
Dude try Mod Podge next time for glueing the posters on. That’s basically decoupage you were doing and Mod Podge was made for this. Also - thanks for inspiring my next project! :D

Oh boy, I really need a hot glue gun...
Isn’t floral foam really, really unsafe?
@@alsocupcakes8885 How do you mean? No foam should be burnt, as most have fumes that are unpleasant to downright toxic. Also, don't eat foam. Florist foam is safe enough to be used in floral arrangements that go to hospitals and baby showers.

I used mine because that's what I had on hand, and I had enough to make brick wall scatter pieces.
Perhaps an idea for the poster would be to take a picture of your PC's minis and putting them on wanted posters.
Those wooden planks are awsome. Great little build, Jeremy! MASTER! Also I share the same feeling that a detailed base make always a huge difference... Bravo!
Man the posters look great in the vid.
In gaming they surely will be much further away from players, i dont think you should worry about that.
I think if I was to make a "Bulletin Board" I would use left over spru bits, stir sticks, popsicle sticks. Thanks for the info. Am right now working on making things that would fit with "Warcry" so towers and walkways.
Some ideas, market and blacksmith look nice in a town. The weirwood tree (face tree in game of thrones). Wardrums, cauldron, and effigy (Nick Cage Wicker Man style). I have things inspired from "TheDMsCraft" wagons, barrels, boxes, wells, train tracks and karts.
Had no idea I needed a Bulletin Board... Until now... *runs to the proxxon*
More town scatter ideas.
-wagons
-farmers market stalls (selling fruits, veggies, herbs, cloth, jewelry, potions, sculptures)
-traveling stage (minis can be actors, singers, hawkers of the latest snake oil, religious zealots. Douchey guys can be selling slaves you need to rescue. Also a good reason to have a crowd gathered)
-stocks
-a horse trough and hitch
-my daughter has also suggested teddy bears and bunnies
Your DM vs The DM she tells you not to worry about.
That is amazing! I'd love to see how you'd tackle stalls for a market :)
Herb Gardens.... Laundry at a fountain.... wheelbarrows and carts with various produce or material..... Boundry Fences..... Outbuildings for storage or animals..... signposts..... rock and scrub/grass denoting travel routes etc........ basicly i just googled The Witcher 3 for tonnes of ideas :P that game looks so good. Gonna have to make a noticeboard though, great fluff piece and looks cool, cheers for the build!
*sets up a nearly 1 to 1 recreation of a medieval town*. "I need more"
For the posters, you should try coffee. A regular sheet of printing paper, with the designs, and simply pour a cup of coffee over it. Let it soak real good, probably giving it a few coats very varying intervals, before letting it dry completely.
Dunno how well it works in this instance, but its been used in role playing, when we were in the need of something resembling old parchtments.
As usual great build. Next time you need to make posters try a fine line pen and lightly make squiggly lines over the pixels. I've done that with tiny scrolls and it works pretty well. Also for affixing them to the board how bout the plain Mod Podge, I mean it's what they make it for. Also I love the new game room/project room.
Certainly a neat idea. Consider it stolen. 😉

This is such a simple, beautiful build; detailed, elegant, realistic, and useful for multiple games. A masterpiece.
Jeremy, your videos just keep getting better and better, and I don't just mean the content! The time and effort that goes into the shooting and editing of these videos is apparent, especially to those of us who frequently go back and watch older videos of yours.
Love this project!
Hey man if you are looking for a self contained great little skirmish game check out Moonstone. The miniatures alone will get you in and the game is great fun!
I would suggest with adding leaflets in future curling the corners around a toothpick to give it a 3D element. Really love the channel :)
Love the Notice Board! Awesome build, Jeremy!

Dude... THIS IS AWESOME!!!
those fallen ads are fantastic. if I have to think about which pieces to add to a city I would suggest a drinking trough for horses or signs hanging from a pole. for a darker version you could build a scaffold or a bow with some hanged men as if it were an entrance to a dead city.

Tea and coffee are great methods to age paper.
For weathering paper, I've noticed that cheap black tea is great for it!

If basing on cardboard, and the board starts warping, you can go a fair way to repair the damage with pvc glue. Coat the underside of the base with pvc glue all over. Prop up the terrain overnight to let it fully cure. It should help bend the cardboard the otherway. How much depends on how bowed it was, and the size of the actual terrain you built.
And it also helps to protect the cardboard base from any drink spillage.

Can I just throw out that the music was awesome on this episode? It always is, of course, but I loved this opening song especially
Tbh a bulletin board has allot of story scenario possibilities... hmmmmm interesting.. maybe a way to introduce a side character
Despite all the correction you had to make, I like it a lot. It has character, and like you said, the little details do add a lot.
The posters look quite good to me.
Your beard makes you look like one of my friends. I am scared and confused. I'm going to go paint something.
Wow just saw this on crooked staff terrain! Must be something going on that bulletin boards are being made on more than one RUclips channel!
One or two recently popped up in the TCG group which reminded me to finally make one.
I really love watching your videos! I have zero space to store anything I might build, so to keep peace with the Mistress of the House, I’ll watch the cool stuff you build!

You beat me to it. I've had these printed out for several weeks but just been too busy building everything for White Plume Mountain. Turned out looking great brother!
getting to see a whole city board of yours? Great!
quick project? awesome!
good job? good job!
Awesome build. Also made one of these. Cheap alternative for staining the posters. Used coffee or tea!
Love it! And thank you for sharing your thought process, successes and failures 😉😊
Love the intro, funny/satirical enough ! More like this please !!! Very good vids !
With all those open shelves, how do keep your minis dust-free?
The trick is not worrying about it
wow impressive, watched without sound (at work ^^;) amazing still.
Oh man I love scatter terrain
I really like the smaller builds. Small details like that can up the level of a game.
I really liked your table set up! The bulletin board was a great build.
That whimsical video intro had me at the start! Great builds as always and thanks for sharing!
Love to see the table with your buildings .... your work is the best !!!
Looking forward to see what town scatter terrain you come up with!
The content quality just keeps getting better. Keep it up, Jeremy!
The sign link are broken

This means they don't make it to the levels they should have. So I run side adventures and this will fit right into that role. One thing. The first link worked great. The other two gave me issues. #2 asked me to log into Facebook, which I did but then Facebook noted they were having trouble. The third link went to the Facebook entry but there was no link to the PDF.
I'm going to make this...I'm going to use my proxon to cut that little groove ... Love it! ("When it had 'mostly' dried..." lol)
Since you're into skirmish and doing post apoc I'd love to see tackle Gaslands terrain and especially how you'd approach the modding of matchbox and hotwheels cars. It's a scale smaller that you're used to and the vehicles are as much "characters" as any miniature figure (and there ARE figures to be painted too.) And the terrain is limitless, ruined cityscapes, desert outposts ala Mad Max, and tons of scatter terrain including wrecked vehicles and what triggered this idea, bill boards.
A cool trick I learned to make printed paper look like parchment. This may have helped with the aging issue.
You'll need a cookie sheet (or some sort of large shallow pan or tray), Instant Tea and water. You take whatever it is you printed and crumple up the paper into a ball. Unfold the paper and crumple it again and repeat two to three times (the more times you do this, the more aged it looks). The idea is to create texture to trap the color from the tea. Once you've reached the level of texture you want, lay the paper out as flat a possible. Fill the cookie sheet with about 1/4" water. Dip one side of the paper into the water and slowly submerge the paper into the water. Once the paper is submerged and settled, sprinkle the tea into the water. Usually after two to three hours, I'll flip the paper and sprinkle a little more on the other side (you won't need as much tea as the front side). Let it dry on a flat surface (I've found outside in the sun works the best) and you should have some pretty nice looking aged paper/parchment. I use it for my player handouts in D&D. I've also done the same technique without wrinkling the paper to make a high end letter from the king. Roll the letter up, wrap a ribbon around it and make a wax seal (if you have the means).
Hope these techniques can work for you, Jeremy. Thanks for all the videos and inspiration.
hey, if you're getting into skirmish games check out Mantic's Vanguard. i have played so, so many skirmish games and Vanguard is by far my favorite. Just the right amount of crunchiness mixed with simplicity. There are a ton of factions and items and the campaign/level up system is great
Just a thought... next time you want to print out weathered looking 'posters' like this, pick up a couple of pages of parchment-like paper at a print shop. By parchment, I mean not actual parchment, but a page style that is made to look like parchment scroll (I know they make it because I used some for a stack of resumes many years ago). The paper is already aged-looking and you could avoid the issue of running ink when you stain it yourself.
For the future: Plastering paper to solid things is precisely what the creators of modpodge intended it for :)
Yea but mine is all full of black paints I don’t currently have a normal bottle 😆
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial fair point! It comes in gloss, too I just learned. Could be useful someday!
Change the resolution on your printer. Increasing the dpi will resolve the pixelated look. It could also be scaling improperly from the file.
I was thinking of making the rugs from one of the crafting muse's videos but my printer is pretty shitty so I was constantly pushing it away. I have the skills to draw tiny carpet but really did feel like going through the trouble (like you and your wonky base😘) it never occured to me to go get it done at a shop, plus it woundn't be that expensive. Thank you for allowing me to endulge my lazy side and I hope it doesn't backfire on me like it did on you 😋
Perhaps a "warning" entry arch...with skulls displayed to show it's a village you dont want to mess with? A hill graveyard of those townsfolk killed in battle? Definitely a haunted tree is in order.
How do you film the birds eye view shots. You must have the camera mounted directly overhead... care to share your setup?Thanks.
You can't do it on foam really but with your cast stuff have you have made creepers by super gluing a piece of lichen to the surface and then pulling it off once the glue cures? I find that it works really well for creeper/vine/moss things. Really interesting surface texture.
