i first saw this technique of using bark as rocks from scratch bashing go check out his various wood bashing and junk bashing videos for a balanced diet of scratch building once you've found the perfect pieces destined to fit together flip it over to find your reward a glob of molten hot glue ready for a support block of foam to hold up this wooden clam shell on its base as much as this looks like one solid piece there's still a lot of gaps that need filling i watered down some spackle to make some seam cream to fill in all of the hot glued edges while the goop is still moist we can sprinkle on extra bark pieces and other rock flock but this layer of cream is making me crave more cream from this sour cream container i'm sprinkling on some pebbles and dirt to add some ground cover and fill in any last areas of exposed wet goop then i'm spraying down the whole mound in an even wetter group of watered-down white pva glue to seal in all of the rocks and bark into one waterproof lump lump here's what it looks like after priming but first it's time to paint howl's walking platform the first step is to weather seal this deck in mod podge and black paint and then good news we're using wood hues starting with an over brushing of dark brown and then an ever so lighter over brushing with something like a terracotta or a chestnut then finishing it off with a khaki dry brush to kiss the edges with a highlight for the metal sections i'm keeping it simple with your everyday basic silver dry brushing partially because these details are hardly seen on the underside but also i lack a creative vision for making it interesting i lightly grazed everything in silver making sure to retain some of the black primer for a tarnished look we can't forget the legs which also get a silver dry brushing they're not much to show off now but you know what is much to show off this drawing of howl's moving toaster from kai the son of one of my supporters on patreon complete with a rivet count of NUMBER_TOKEN. in fact here's a lovely compilation of ghibli related art created by many of the folks supporting me on patreon thank you all for your support in helping me make these videos since this video is a bit shorter than the last time and somewhat of a part two to the last video i'm saving all of the new patron shoutouts and my mediocre sing-song wrap abilities for the next video i know in the past i teased that howl's moving castle would be my final entry into the ghibli series but the lie detector test determined that to be a lie so keep on the lookout for more ghibli related crafts in the future i have a few ideas bumbling around in my brain but what other ghibli crafts would you be interested in seeing let me know in the comments but no one is allowed to suggest i make the flying version of the castle otherwise i will be obligated to take the one i already made last time and launch it with a trebuchet thank you for sending in your lovely ghibli art everyone now back to my lumpy ghibli art wow impressed the next step for this pile of bark i'm
