Hi guys!
In the final stretch of crafting now, as you can see the islands, magnetic bushes and tufts are all done, as are the new grassland tile edges, including a solution for giving ugly square edges some beautiful curves! Albeit without the green layer of static grass on yet 😂
Versions of these edge c...
Hi Guys!
Sorry I didn't manage to drop an update this week, I've been working flat out on getting the recording of the crafting done, and on top of that working on tons of accessories I hadn't originally planned to include but added as patrons requested (bushes, magnetic plant life, etc) - it's cool stuff but it takes...
Hi Guys!
I had a second between jobs with a clear desk so I thought I'd take the opportunity to give you all an update :)
I've now finished the bulk of the tiles that I can before recording the rest (I do this to keep the recording area more tidy and less insanity generating 😄), so next week I'll be getting p...
Hi Guys!
So today (aside from a day job meeting - which was the last with that client! Starting to be able to wind things down more!) I've been working on getting texture and rocks down on the bulk of the tiles. I also painted a few of the details like the skulls there and some fish, a dead skellie and a golden crown.....
Hi Guys!
This post is designed to be an easy to browse and understand list of both the various projects and videos that make up the system as well as a full list of the various benefits of being a patron!
First things first - this is how the monthly/throwback STL access works:
Basically, I ne...
So, this page is designed to be an easy to browse index of all my YouTube videos, arranged into categories that make sense, and with my notes, updates and advice on what videos to look at for what builds 🙂
Each section will be a link to a separate post, with a link back to this index at the top and bottom to make na...
This page contains timestamped links and advice on what videos to reference when making your initial Magnetic Building System tiles.
It's designed to be easy to browse, be organised by builds, not videos, and include any advice I wish I could have added to the video, but Youtube wont let me :)
So the aim of this post is to give an easy to read overview of the benefits you gain access to as a patron - without it being an overwhelming wall of text!
The benefits that have a large list of things you can access (bonus videos, downloadables, livestreams), or that have some guidance on accessing (Di...

Back to Patreon Benefits Index
So this post is an archive of all the downloadables, whether printable, 3d printable or otherwise :)
They're organised into sections by printable, 3d printable and .psd (photoshop) files for noble patron editing (because you can do that, if you didn't realise 😀)
Just so you have an idea of what you're voting for! And a sneak preview of the books for everyone else 😄

Hi Guys!
So last livestream (aside from the usual previews and such) I went through the newly released Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy, reviewing what I thought of it, what it has that you guys might find useful, and whether or not I would reccommend picking it up!
This is all with no sponsorship or materials...
Hi guys!
Just a quick update over the weekend, I got around to updating the equipment list for the cheaper magnets available in the UK - 3p per 3x2mm AND I managed to get a 5% discount code out of them for you guys, listed in the equipment list :)
For those not in the UK, I'm aiming to get in touch with the US s...
So guys! I've been busy grinding away at the bulk of the tiles, getting them all prepped for textures and rocks and other fun stuff, but at the same time planning some stuff for the next stage!
This image is a VERY rough example of one of my current plans for the water island tiles that will sit in the middle of rivers...
Hi Guys,
So! I've managed to finalise my procedure for the resin to be used on the tiles (hurrah!) but the final tests are not cured and finished so I cant quite show them off (hurroo...)
The main reason it's taken this long is its a bit more complex than just 'make water look good', partially due to the river b...
Yeah, I just had to post twice in a day for this. LOOK AT THOSE RIPPLES!
Is it bad I kinda want to drink it? 😂
Even with the test tiles being bubbly, different colours and generally less than perfect, it STILL blends really well, especially in person, and the lines between tiles just melt away!
I am ...
Hi Guys,
So I thought I'd drop a few quick images while I have my lunch, you can see here some work on a test tile where I thought I'd experiment with the ground textures too while I had the chance - the idea is to have variety among the river banks, some more dirt, some more small river stones, some more rocky and tr...
Hi Guys!
The updates have been a bit more sparse this time, mainly because there has been a LOT of experimenting, learning, testing over and over and a lot of theorycrafting.
BUT! I can now see a light at the end of that particular tunnel, and I can share a few tests with you for some findings you might find in...
Hi Guys!
So I've been busy! Not pictured are dozens of fully magnetised tiles, but what you can see is a rough idea of how they can be used :)
The first image is how they can be used with mountainblocks - your river can be set into a canyon with ease, and the dirt tile corners can be attached to the back ...
Hi Guys!
Thank you so much to everyone who offered kind words after I was knocked out by a migraine yesterday - it really meant a lot :)
But! I am now back in action and offering a photo I took...pre migraine 😂 but a little update too.
So these are some test tiles for the water tiles I'm working on (no...
Hi guys!
So, I've spent the last few days experimenting to find cheap alternatives/support materials for resin for those who find it too costly. This has met with...mixed success - but luckily may not actually be necessary!
Late on today, I had a big chat with a bunch of you guys in Discord, where we managed to ...
Hi Guys!
So, the city tiles video seems to be doing spectacularly, and I'm diving straight back into another big, awesome, much requested project - see if you can guess what it is...
In other news, your support has meant I can afford to replace my little rotating display stand I use for photography for ...
I realised this was not as easy to find as it should be! so it gets a tag to make it easier for new people until I can get the archive post set up :)

Hi Guys!
The extended gallery as promised, with full length camera sweeps, never before seen angles and little comments from me, as well as a tip on making the pavement tiles work better with interior walls :)
Let me know your thoughts on this kind of video, and if you think it has value. It did take a little wh...
Just the templates for everyone :) If you appreciate me providing these to all for free, please consider supporting more videos on patreon - it is the ONLY reason the channel can keep going - Youtube Ads are..not a lot 😄

Hi Guys!
As promised, the modular streetlights video I trimmed from the end of the city tile video 🙂
Let me know what you think of the 'add on' format. I might make stuff like this Patreon exclusive in future, if it doesn't do well on the channel publicly. I'd rather it have some benefit rather than just not ...
Hi Guys!
I am very excited to finally release this to you, it's been a long time in the making and I hope I've taken you all along for the ride with me through the updates 😂
But it's finally here and all finished! I've got some final bits to add like the pinned comment, equipment list links, public template ...
Hi Guys!
Quick post here to upload something one of you guys made while I was hard at work on the video 😄
Its a 3d printable stamp that can be used to make cutting bricks in walls a breeze :) I haven't had a chance to test it out yet but let me know how it works for you!
Zarakk asked me to keep this Pa...
Hi guys,
Quick editing update - I'm halfway through!
I realised partway through editing that adding the street lighting to the main video would drag it out too long, and probably lead to casual viewers not watching as much. Pic is of the main video, WITHOUT street lighting (and as yet unfinished, it'll be ...
As expected, photography overran 😂 I was close to injuring my back on Friday so I stopped an hour or two early, convinced I could get it done in a few hours today.
6 or so hours later.... I'm setting up for VO and talking head 😄
A quick note for anyone looking forward to the next livestream - I've got full...
