3D Printing an ENTIRE Medieval City (Miniature Diorama) Knarb Makes 2021-10-03 | I made a text RPG:forgesaga.comThis video has it all, 3D printing, Scratch Building, XPS and EVA foam carving, painting, flocking, scenic grass/shrubs, and an epoxy resin art pour gone wrong.Take a look at how this mix of techniques can bring the most detailed piece of terrain I've ever made.Inspired by medieval cities with large complex networks of canals, such as Venice, or the fictional city of Stormwind from World of Warcraft.The houses are viable to print on both resin and FDM printers, and they are a great way to spice up any diorama.The board is built using 10mm scale to allow for much more detail condensed into a smaller footprint. Also known as N Scale in the model railway community.End Credits: http://www.joelsantosmusic.com

Then there is war and then it repeats. But you knew this. Thousands of years ago the cycle was broken with the arrival of the first Keeper who brought magic and rune lore to the people of Dagra. Under the banner of the three suns a republic was born from the ashes. At last a long standing peace was established. But human nature corrupts. Suspicion sows the seeds of corruption and the world begins to unravel at the seams once more.Beware the thought thieves. Beware their touch. Beware your memories - you can’t be sure they are yours. Evelyn is a novice at the Library of Orem where all the history and memories of Dagra are stored. She dreams of earning her grey coat and becoming a Keeper, a sect of magic users with the power to manipulate minds and memories. Isolated from the world she knows only the safety of the Library. As she hones her magic, she begins to uncover secrets better left buried, and dabble in politics beyond her understanding. The iconic Ruined Lighthouse from the novel is brought to life with some Hobby Crafting Cheat codes.The main way I get the texture of rock is by using drywall joint compound. It’s easy to sculpt and carve into new forms once it dries and it mixes well with both paint and additives fillers like cellulose pulp insulation. Then, by applying more and more layers of details, like carved pine board and 3D printed details, helps sell the miniature craft as a real object.Credit Score: http://www.joelsantosmusic.com
COPY+PASTE Any Pattern!? Knarb Makes 2021-08-21 | Having a chance to test out and try and use a laser engraver for tabletop crafting was pretty interesting. I came up with some fun results, with most of the success on EVA foam.The speed at which this machine can engrave detail is way beyond what a 3D printer can do at this scale, so I think it makes a lot of sense to use this for printing large flat areas full of detail.Credit Score: http://www.joelsantosmusic.com

Scale model DARK PORTAL from SCRATCH (World of Warcraft) Knarb Makes 2021-06-26 | The Dark Portal is a build I've always dreamed of tackling, and finally found the right inspiration with the recent re-release of the Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft.Using materials such as XPS, Cardboard, Plaster and Clay, alongside with some 3D printed details. I was able to bring this iconic landmark to life for tabletop gaming scale.I hope this gives you a good idea of what it takes to build massive terrain projects like this. As long as they are split up and divided into chunks, any project can be done!

I leverage the strengths of traditional scratch building with the precision and detail of 3D printing to make these industrial worn out and rusted silos.I pass by structures like this almost every other day in my local area, and I’ve wanted to build a set to go on my Warhammer 40k table for months now. Although I’m not the best painter, I feel like this project pushed me over a new milestone in learning to paint better terrain and miniatures.Take the journey of exploration and discovery with me as I assemble, glue, paint then weather this set of industrial style silos.Huge thanks to all my patrons!

The ESSENTIAL guide to build WH40k Ruins (scatter terrain) Knarb Makes 2021-03-24 | This set of scatter terrain pieces fit great on any Warhammer 40k Battlefield. This level of realism can be achieved by anyone with a little patience and some cheap supplies. This piece of terrain was inspired by the aesthetic of ruined/bombed out city battlefields, such as the Battle of Stalingrad.The half-started project that sparked as the catalyst for this build was a set of air dry clay made sandbag fortifications that had long sat on my shelf. It's nice to go back and finish off old projects.Patreon Link:patreon.com/knarbmakesAffiliate Links of products mentioned in the video:- DAS air dry clay: amzn.to/3d5qiN3- Plastic Syringes: amzn.to/3cbkqSZ- Black Gesso: amzn.to/2QnlCtZ- Cheap Air Brush + Compressor: amzn.to/395J2dN- Makeup Brush: amzn.to/3rjTq8jCredits Composition (Joel Santos) http://www.joelsantosmusic.com00:00 Intro01:04 Setting out the rough Shapes01:58 Building up the walls03:36 Floor tile detail and wall detail04:50 Rebar detail05:10 Sculpting paste06:24 Rubble detail07:10 Tile grout07:48 Flag mount07:59 Pencil erasers as glue bottle caps TIP08:18 Gesso base coat09:17 Zenithal Highlight09:31 Painting10:00 Flag Detail10:48 Showcase
Building the MEGA Cathedral (Wargaming Terrain) Knarb Makes 2021-03-15 | This is the largest scale model I have created so far, measuring in at 4 feet long, and around 3 feet wide with the attached Cloister. I drew inspiration from Gothic Cathedrals in Europe as well as games like Diablo, Mordheim, Warhammer 40k, and many other tabletop games.The main floorplan was heavily inspired from the Salisbury Cathedral in England, but the design has morphed as I got further into the project.I plan on using this as a piece of wargaming terrain as well as for large scale battles for Dungeons and Dragons. The Cathedral is broken up into several sections to allow for storage or for smaller scale buildings. The seams are blended together by the ruined look of the church.The large holes in the architecture also allow for the interior to be fully accessible.Throughout the build, I used MDF, Clay, XPS foam, Foamcore, Popsicle sticks, Construction Paper, Cheap Jewlery, 3D printed details and more!Resources mentioned in the Video:Black Gesso, 1 Gallon (affiliate Link): amzn.to/2OT680h3D Models of Gargoyles: thingiverse.com/thing:4146805Carbide CNC Templates: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MmZctPoPqGCpJKLWKIbURYZYn7sru_74?usp=sharingPrintable Cutout Templates:drive.google.com/file/d/1mT69ROzOIshX5wf6P7vL0RPjDc1RgsiB/view?usp=sharingMusic:Symphony No 5 (Beethoven)1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky)Credits Composition (Joel Santos) http://www.joelsantosmusic.comPatreon:www.patreon.com/knarbmakes00:00 Intro00:44 Cleaning up MDF Parts01:55 Cutting out Bases02:27 Cathedral Vault and Buttresses03:16 Detailing Cathedral Floor03:38 Putting down main Structure04:19 Filling out the Apse04:36 Constructing the Façade05:37 Central Section Adjustments and Roof Framing06:19 Breaking apart and creating ruined sections07:03 Clay Brick Texture08:16 XPS Brick Detailing09:04 Sculpting Paste & Rubble10:04 Base coating in Gesso10:41 Upper Walkways11:24 Roof Construction12:40 Gargoyles and Grotesques13:29 Censer Detail14:06 Painting14:34 Plaque Details15:03 More Debris Texturing15:46 Outro
Realistic MEDIEVAL Ruins Terrain (Gothic Cloister) Knarb Makes 2021-02-11 | I love building large pieces of terrain, but the storage options once you have something bigger than a foot across become limiting. I made this Medieval Cloister, perfect for Mordheim, DnD and Warhammer 40K as well. This is a set of modular ruins that come together to form a very detailed structure. This is the kind of building you would find attached to a medieval cathedral.This build video features XPS Foam detailing, Flocking, hot glue and popsicle stick crafting! I also go over the very simple paint scheme involving dry brushing, washes and how to add quick texture to the ground level to get realistic looking rubble.I’m exploring a new (for me) method of quickly prototyping and modeling complex structures, then producing them with a CNC Machine.This build was largely made possible by my father, who has built his own DIY CNC machine complete with dust extraction and a safety enclosure. He’s offered to let me use it on several occasions in the past year and I finally took him up on the offer!The kinds of curves and arches needed to pull a structure like this off would have taken ages to carve out by hand, and the use of plywood/mdf makes the skeleton of this building much stronger.If you are considering buying a CNC machine, and want to also support me channel, consider using an affiliate link when purchasing at no extra cost to you:amzn.to/3aX9zuc (a simple entry level CNC router)Music Credit goes to the wonderfully talented HAKOBO.
