A crafting tutorial on how to make a training dummy for your tabletop RPGs and wargaming terrain.
The terrain I make is generally aimed for use with TTRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, but it could easily be used for any role-playing or tabletop wargaming; such as Pathfinder, Star Wars: Legion, and more!
If there is any specific terrain you'd like to see me make, feel free to leave a comment with your request!
