So, after a few people have asked it struck me that maybe these needed to be tagged as downloads specifically for use with the grasslands - they're already available on the mountainblocks build, but I think making a separate post will help save me time directing people to them :)
Hope this helps!
Hi guys!
It's that time again, I've finished the much anticipated basing video that won second place in the last poll, and hopefully it gives you guys some insight into what I do with my bases and why...
There are links to where I get these much talked about hollow bases, including links for 3d printing of them (I think? I'm new to finding STLS) so hopefully it should be nice and easy to grab some for your minis.
I've updated the equipment list with a few things I mention...
Just a quick post to let you guys know I've added the printable fabric I used for the banners in the recent video to the equipment list in the raw materials section :) https://rparchive.wixsite.com/rparchive/rawmaterials
2021-07-05 17:10:42 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys, just a quick update, the next Noble Patron Livestream will be next Sunday (4th July) at 7pm BST :)
If you haven't seen one before, just refresh the patreon feed about that time and keep an eye out for the post, I usually set it up 10-15 mins before starting, and to access the chat you just need to click the YouTube logo in the bottom right of the video to open the video fullscreen in a new tab.
Looking forward to seeing you guys!
Hi guys, these templates are all free to use, but if you get a chance please check out what I offer on Patreon, it's the main thing that helps me keep making these videos :)

Hi guys!
I've just about managed to get the new video uploaded and sorted, so It's getting released early for you guys before I launch it on Monday :)
I've also uploaded the templates and new banners to this post - including versions that are designed to be printed on printable cloth, something I'll be showing off more in future and talking more about in the next livestream next Sunday! (I'll make an announcement post for that too...)
Finally, I've updated the old banners...
Just a quick update, work on the upcoming war camp/tents video is going awesome! The tents look realistic and cloth textured, they're playable, place-able damn near anywhere and come with a few features I haven't seen done before, so hopefully you'll enjoy :)
Today I'm finishing off the crafting by working on these new banners for you guys - I've added far more detail to these as you can see and I'm in the process of going back and updating the old banners too - hopefully I'll get all ...
Hi Guys! The Free template is available for download below - I'd really appreciate it if you check out what's on offer on the Patreon though - hey, maybe you'll find you want to join and support the channel :)

Hi Guys!
I am SO happy with how this project turned out! Look at that LAVA! The thumbnail gives you the best idea of what it looks like in real life, in the video its a bit overly bright in places but DAMN!
Ahem. Yes, so I like my new tiles, and I hope you will too! 😁
Attached is the new template for the smaller, more gently sloped hill pieces I included, which you can also use for grassland hills if my hill video was a bit overkill...
But yes...I love this...
Hi guys!
So the volcanic tiles voted for are coming along really well, I like the effect of these new materials I'm using and I've just had a chance to put some of the first pieces together like this, so I thought I'd upload pics for you guys :)
This project I'm aiming to have done for next Sunday, ideally to post on Monday, though this as usual does depend on the roadblocks I hit 😅
The livestream I'm aiming to hold next Sunday (6th June) and I'll be throwing out the n...
Hi Guys!
So, as promised in the poll here is the video on using LEDs for an actual reason, giving you the option to change the colour of your fire effects as and when you need to :)
Includes BMC inspired (and credited) fire markers with new textures (and colour change ability)
A pretty epic wall of fire that gives off some awesome effects, and can be whatever shape you need it to be,
and some fire accessories for the magnetic building system, so you can set them on ...

Hi Guys!
Quick one this time - I got it done in 5 days even with two days of editing/uploading! (why yes, editing does take forever 😅)
This video has 10 different tips that I've either realised myself, come across or otherwise given as advice on an individual basis to someone - so hopefully combined there's something for everyone from beginners to advanced :)
Please let me know what you think of the video, either here or on Youtube - I may do more of these tip videos if...
Hi guys!
As promised here is the bonus video showing how to upgrade (just trim the foam with a hot wire) or make from scratch some upgraded balsa wood tiles, with magnetic functionality under the floorboards and planks on the walls to allow both magnetics wall accessories (like the upgraded stone walls) as well as the upgraded interior wall system (coming soon...)
There is a template for the floor pattern I intend to upload with this, it's absolutely not crucial, you can see it ...
Hi Guys!
I'm still at work here, updating the equipment list for the new video and sorting out the last of the work before it's ready to launch and I can move on to the wood tile bonus video, but I thought I'd release this to you now as it's mostly done :)
I'm really happy with how this system turned out, I think I could have added more detail to the trunks, but I may revisit them when it comes time to do the forest floor tiles to match them....
Let me know what you guys th...

Hi Guys,
This project has been a bit of a beast but I got there in the end - I'm pretty damn happy with the result! It will have taken literally 3 weeks of flat out work once it's done (21 days! though some of that time was spent on a patreon bonus video...), but I think it was worth it :)
I did take a weekend amongst that guys, honest...at the end....after you told me I should 😂
In the end I tweaked the vision I showed off in last month's livestream, including re-adopt...
Hi guys!
So I thought I'd drop you a quick update on what exactly I've been doing this past week since the last video, keep you in the loop about what's going on and when the next videos might arrive :)
As you can see, work on the realistic, playable trees is in full flow - I've adapted the idea since the livestream, playing with it in practice made me want to add height features for deep forests and cities, hence the removable trunks!
This project has not only taken a lo...
Hi Guys!
So the video is ready, enjoy at your leisure :) I'll be holding off on the public YouTube release until Tuesday in case Easter Monday messes with viewing figures in a bad way, so you guys have this a few days early...
If you're joining me tonight at 7pm BST (2pm east coast, 11am west coast) for the Noble Patron Livestream I have tree prototypes to preview for you guys, on top of the usual banter - hope to see people there...despite me forgetting it was Easter Sunday when...
Hi Guys!
Just a quick teaser here for the next video, which is fully edited and just awaiting the final upload process and pile of YouTube-related work that entails...
I'm hoping to have it to you guys either tonight or tomorrow :)
A quick reminder to anyone who's interested, the Noble Patron Livestream will be tomorrow at 7PM BST....
Thats 2pm East coast US, 11am West Coast US - I THINK. We're now UTC+1 because of daylight saving, but so are you guys so it should m...
I thought I'd make a quick post about this as the group seems to be getting a fair amount of interest now, and I wanted to have a quick and easy link to it for anyone who hasn't joined yet.
It's a great place to post projects you're working on, questions, ideas all kinds of stuff - and I try to respond to every post...when I see them 😅

Hi Guys!
So despite my ongoing stream of bad luck, I got the video pulled together and finished :)
This is my love letter to the hills of the LOTR films, and real life - the kind of hills that dwarf people and make most of the board sloped in some way...
I grew up in Durham, a rather hilly city (Town really, but we had a Cathedral, so we got upgraded...), and from a lifetime of walking and cycling up and down the damn things I can tell you - real hills aren't as small as...
Hi Guys!
So, after many setbacks and a string of bad luck, I'm entering the final stretch with B-roll footage, after which there's only the VO, talking head, editing, YouTube upload stuff (thumbnail, SEO etc) and we'll be ready to go :)
If you didn't catch the sneak preview in the livestream, the next video is my take on modular hills - mainly, that hills don't go ON the landscape, they ARE the landscape!
There will be mention of how to do this on a smaller scale too, so ...
Hi Guys,
Just a quick update because I like to let you guys in on the ups and downs behind the scenes where I can!
Yesterday, both my handheld hot wire, and my glue gun, both broke, and today the delivery of the replacement hot wire (which I still need to complete a fair chunk of what I'm making) has been delayed by a few days.
This doesn't really change a great deal for you guys, the video will take as long to get made as it takes, and I'm MOSTLY managing to get stuff d...
Hi Guys!
Well, I got there :) I'm pretty happy with how the bridges and tunnels turned out, especially the ones I can use with buildings, and the rest are nice little additions.
Rough templates are attached for the tunnels and stone bridges (the shape, basically, you'll need to do the wiggling at the edges yourself!)
Let me know what you think!
In other news, I'm planning the next livestream for this Sunday and 7pm BST, I'll be making a separate post to announce i...
Hi guys,
So the editing dragged on a bit and though I might get it mostly done tonight, I probably won't get it uploaded until tomorrow - but it is coming, and the delay means I can set you guys up with some templates :)

Hi guys!
So I've been extremely busy working on the next video, making a ton of new pieces for the system, which I'm going to quickly give you a preview of with the help of Kevin the test kobold and Gary the test guard.
Before I jump into that, the next Livestream will be pretty much immediately after I launch this video, and I'll be releasing this video as soon as I can get it ready.
I have the crafting/crafting recording all done now (minus one wash of the bridge you c...
Hi Guys!
So I was halfway through prepping pieces to show you guys how to do this on the crafting livestream, when I realised - I might as well just record a few shots and do an actual bonus video 😅
And so here it is - Magnetised mountainblocks - and the livestream can go ahead at 7pm BST where I can ramble with you guys to my heart's content 😁
Hi guys!
Now the video is finally out of the door I'm going to take a weekend to recover and try not to work (I'll probably fail) and then put some stuff together to show in the livestream if I can find the time!
Ideally I'd like to show a bit within the stream showing how to magnetise the mountainblocks specifically in detail, the way I showed briefly in the christmas livestream. This time though, I'm planning on running it a bit smoother with some pre-prepared examples of each...
