Do you think you could do a video on how to make a thatched roof? I am making a house for my 25 mm lord of the rings game and the shingles look daunting. that would be great. Thanks

@kerbizetimus Just did one for you.

what kind of cardboard did you use and where did you bought it? i really want to build houses for my normandie diorama but i cant discover what cardboard everyone is using

[thekamloopian]

This is just plain cardboard from an old packaging box.

You can also use that poster foamboard stuff, thin plywood, the various types white plastic sheet stuff from a hobby store, Coroplast, or the foam insulation stuff.

[kerbizetimus]

wow thank you so much. I've really been getting into the lotr battle game but i had no scenery. When i finish the house, i will send you a vid so you can see how it came out. Probably next weekend because i don't have much time after school. Thanks again

Have you ever tried replicating the "taco bell wall texture" like all scratched and waved? I was thinking, you could use a thing layer of caulk then just scratch it up with a needle, if you do try this could you tell me the results?, I have niether the equipment nore the skill quite yet to attempt very adept wall textures :), have a good day!

Thanks for making this video, help me a lot for my son's next project. He wants to make a simple, easy miniature house just like you did. :) And we can make it from used materials around us. Good work ...

yes but i live in the netherlands and we have different backeging boxes, our boxes have a weak struckture. like in your movie when you cut the cardboard you just break it out of the rest but when i try to do that with the cardboard over here the edges peel off and stuff
