Wanted to get this video out while I work on mega build inspired by my recent trip to Norway. Coming soon!

I recommend papier mache for bin bags...wetted black paper around a ball of any old paper in much the same process here. The added benefit is that it does not require the use of a flame and that the bags sag and lean realistically...they can even be mashed into corners or leaned against walls etc.

One way to add variety to their shape is to stuff them with disposable items, like cheap beads or buttons.

The fiberglass repair mesh available at Halfords for a few quid makes great chain link fencing as it is already a diamond pattern. Cutting lengths of wire coat hanger make perfect posts for them too, especially as you can cut slightly long and drill holes for them in the basing material to make them really secure. The storage bins to skips is a great re-use of existing materials, bravo!

Your pallets are fancy ones. I’m impressed at how you made so many. I got flashbacks to when I was a scenic carpenter and had to build a lot of pallets for an H&M event. Not miniature pallets for me, but regular sized one. Oh, it was horrendous.

pro tip, any wall or long baracade piece of terrain like the fences and barricades work really well if you cut the corners off so its easy to put them at 90 degree angles to one another. it really helps set up the battlefield in a realistic way and minimizes the gaps between the pieces

Although chips can be simulated rather expediently by dabbing on metallic paint with a stiff brush or a sponge.

Awesome, so many easy to intermediate techniques but they are so masterfully embroidered and painted&weathered... I shall definitely try this. I had been looking for little storage drawers (the kind that come with their own organizer, not as spares), as they make great houses for a postapocalyptic steampunk market, and all I could find was the kind you show as dumpers, but I love the idea. I think the black plastic is a must for the bags, but I’ve seen people fill them with battle spice (what you collect from the floor after several days of kitbashing and crafting, like gross sand made of micro offcuts from wood, paper, cardboard, epvc, xps, silicone, etc, with dust), and then superglueing the twisted and cut top of the bag, safer than melting it with heat...

one of the best do it yourself video I've seen to make simple but great looking scatter terrain! Many thanks for sharing this content 😀

Liking the pallets & full bin bags... I thought "wow, how easy & effective" but still couldn't think of it, also saw another of your vids where you make ruined buildings from polystyrene inserts. Another costless effect for corrugated steel panels....cut the flaps from a cardboard box & wet them(but don't overdo it) until the outer & inner surfaces come away from the middle corrugated part, let it dry then you can cut away at your own leisure then paint it accordingly (rusted effect always works) although these days I'm kinda leaning towards buying the necromunda terrain sets of stairwells & walkway

Niiiice! I especially like the dumpsters!

Those were great builds! That rust stuff is like magic too,, maybe next time if you were doing a similar project, for variation, barbed wire would look great on top of the fences and barrelled around some of the barricades and you have to put a mattress in one of the skips haha

Thanks, this was for a friend so the fee basically covered materials, but yeah... that is the dilemma in many ways. The time never will be equal to the money. £1000 is crazy money for a terrain set. I also have a background in fine art and if I paint a painting, I wouldn't think twice about selling it for £5000. It may take a week or so. None of it makes sense really but thats life I guess. I occasionally take on the odd commission but mainly i build stuff for the love really. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment. If your interested, in something shoot me an email.

Yeah careful with oil paint. Its wonderful stuff but if it is in any way thick, the outside can cure quicker than the inside and it will never dry. There are additives that any good art shop should sell which will speed up the drying time a lot. But only the ti instead amount is needed. But if in doubt get some white spirit and wipe it off with a cloth. Should get most of it off. Good luck man

Great use of those storage hoppers [often useless for their intended purpose] but great as skips/dumpsters. The empty one with a few black bags is a great extra detail. I'm rather worried in case those barrels leak Lol! I've just looked up that rust stuff online & I'm wondering if you've found a way to make the stuff permenant without spoiling the effect. The website says its not permenant and to use varnish with care - what would be your experience of this? cheers.

Hiya Keith, thank you for your kind feedback and glad I could inspire you in some way. The rust product I use is from a company called dirty down who make products for film props really and while it is described as semi permanent, once on it is pretty permanent in my experience. You do need to use it as a final layer as anything else on top will reactivate it so a little planning maybe necessary. I have never tried to varnish over the top of it but if you do try let me know what happens haha. Good luck with your projects 👍
