hey i heard u say u could make ur own terf "grass"...how wouold you do yhat i just buy woodland

[pottsio]

I really appreciate these videos and the ones on the Barn. Very inspiring.

I am making one similar for practice. I made a larger cabin from wood some years ago. but my desire is to make many types of houses about the size of tree ornaments. I am most interested in rustic buildings and especially Log Cabins. Your techniques and distressing methods will certainly help me  find my own style.

I am looking forward to the videos you mentioned on doors, and other elements.

THANKS SO MUCH

Hi there, first of all I'd like to thank you for putting this tutorial up on the net. Materials that are easy to find at home, basic techniques used to great effect and most importantly, a detailed description of what you do. I would love to see more content with similar approach.

One question - you use basic cardboard and PVA glue. How do you deal with warping? And would it be more of an issue with larger terrain pieces?

[thekamloopian]

Normally I use the high-density foams.

With cardboard yes, there could be warping in large castle type buildings.

It would really depend on what you were tryin' to make. Mind you, cardboard comes in thick stuff too, triple ply, (large appliances.) and you could laminate a few layers together.

Some reinforcing with popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers glued to the back would help.

when you use glue with paint brushes do you wash them in warm water ever time your done? cause mine always seem to try up with glue all over em

[thekamloopian]

Yes, Try to wash them up before the glue dries, the glues I use are water soluble.

I use really cheap brushes too. That way when I forget to wash themit is no big deal.

[franzyland]

That's the best cardboard building I have seen in a long time. Great bang for the buck.

the ground flocking you did on the last barn you made was simply awesome in my opinion. A well though out and characterful ground lends believability to the set i think.

the hay in the barn made it for me (what looked like hay)

[thekamloopian]

Fot the hay I used little bits of sisal I cut from a rope.

I like the manure pile outside the back door, lol.

[8888Duke8888]

yeah that was pretty characterful

[stumpythumper]

Thanks for a great series...

I've never seen a nicer card building..

Kudos...
