You can avoid the leaks by stippling the base color after applying masking paint, and then painting the target color over top of that. The bleeding will occur with the base color instead of the stripe's target color.

funny that you mention system shock 2, i started replaying that yesterday. amazing that it still holds up over 20 years later.

This was an awesome video, Guy! Definitely makes me want to make some scatter terrain for my own tabletop games. You gotta do some terrain for Outer Worlds for the next one of these.

This is a great tutorial video. Thanks for making it!

Terrain is where my interest in miniwargaming truely lies, and your videos have been a steady touchstone over the past few years when i need references and ideas! Thank you Guy

Very very helpful! Both in a historical aspect and for me as a total rts-noob. Much appreciated 👍

I will be making the "polymer" bubbles with LEDs inside to use as anomalies in games of Zona Alfa. I'll pop some pics up on the Facebook group when they're done.

So, for what it's worth, another way to make concrete tiles that I learned from the Night Shift modelling channel is to use cork sheets covered with a thin layer of some sort of paint or putty (He uses acrylic wood putty, but I don't know if anything else could be used). They're not too expensive, and you can harvest cheap old tablemats for the cork.

These are fun! I'll have to give them a try! Especially the bonus build; I've been putting together a Killteam of Men of Iron using Necron Rules, and it's great to see humanity's technology come back to fight them again!

Loving the Red Dwarf reference at 18:19 "betray your family and friends. Fabulous prizes to be won"

Noted!

A tip from edge painting when renovating a house: When using masking tape to keep an edge, initially painting the under colour and letting it dry before then painting the detail colour can prevent the bleed under the tape as that space is already filled by that base colour layer.

Wow. Astonishing !

7:30 yikes, what did that feel like? Great video! Can't wait to get to work with my own custom terrain for me and my pals

These are your best kinds of videos imo. Love that tractor piece.

Love your terrain builds!

Excellent video! I'll definitely be trying out your concrete tile method. A useful tactic to deal with bleed when masking is to paint on a thin layer of acrylic medium after masking off the area. It'll seal the tape edges, and pull away cleanly when peeling your mask!

very impressive integration. This is what sponsored content should be and i commend your creative approach to monetizing your content, well done.

Great work MWM team! This was so refreshing to see such a different genre of terrain builds. The amount of new techniques reminded me of watching your Blackstone Fortress tutorials.

Really love everything here, love the cheap and easyness of everything. I was not a fan of that giant corrugated wall thingy, not sure why I just thought it looked a bit odd (sorry wish I had a better way of describing it) But I love the techniques that went into it especially the corrugated steel effect that went on the foam board. I think maybe its just the paint or colour for me, everything else though is great and a fantastic use of things that may just be laying around, e.g. the broken toys and so on. edit: Just rewatched the video, the yellow arrows help sell the paint effects on the terrain, it just looks a bit...cheap? or flat maybe? like it looks like something that COULD eventually be terrain not something that currently is terrain. I really don't want to be mean I just wanted to post some feedback. I understand how hard it is to paint bigger terrain and make them, I understand that this is for individuals who are on a budget or want to try something new. Again, I love everything in this video and its very well put together.

Another thing I like to do is put 40K ruins and the like on a "foot print". I use those sticky backed kitchen tile that you can buy in reasonably priced packs. Paint them to match your table top so they match. I like to glue mine in place. You then get a nice foot print your terrain. It's so easy to use nice cheap DIY tools and bits to make great terrain bits. I also bought some cheap garden hose attachments that when painted up go nicely with industrial terrain pieces.

If you're making VG terrain, I'd love to see some Disco Elysium! Great retro design in that game, I love it.

These tips look great for something like Zona Alfa.

Love this vid Guy, always looking for cheap methods, I keep the more expensive stuff for display pieces. I have used the plaster and 'Granny Grading' reinforcement in the past, you can get a resin additive to add strength to the plaster but I have also used professional PVA (Carpenters wood glue from a building supply shop) as an additive plus add some craft paint, saves base coating and any future damage is still coloured. I made a few foam pieces and created silicon moulds so I can cast these anytime I want. I have a grey xps foam that has a wonderful surface texture for roads (sort of a negative of the sandpaper) but the company I bought it from has either gone bust or changed its name. Keep up the good work, I may be nicking these ideas for my Necromunda.

Nerd and Carpenter/Maker. You can buy sandpaper in 6" rolls which will save an awful lot of cutting. Also drawing on the back with the biro and then folding a couple of times is an easy way to 'cut' the scratch (chippy chat for sandpaper). :) Pro tip! Masking lines. Paint the Gauss blaster green/base colour in the masked area and Then the deep red/stripe colour. Any of the gauss/base colour that bleeds under the tape will then block any of your red/stripe colour! you can also use a varnish if you like rather than two of green/base colour. Try it it fiendishly good. I might do a short actually...

Ever impressive

I'd love to see your take on one of the HK series from KOTOR

For anyone readin, there’s a not as cheap but zero skill or effort option for terrain in pet aquarium/terrarium scenery bits. Especially appropriate if you play those newfangled deep sea elves from AoS or lizardmen or space bugs, and you can find the occasional cool generally useful rock formation too.

Yes Metro is awesome! Go read the books they are amazing!

This was lovely! Guy is a national treasure in Warhammer world.

Great video Guy ! I hope it does well, it was packed with building and painting tips. I'm picking up the toothpicks one for precise glueing perpendicular foamboard walls. One minor recommendation about using corrugated paper in model building for shacks and containers. In real life, corrugated sheets have ZERO structural strength if you place them horizontally, weight force being applied vertically, the folds only help rigidify the metal sheets when placed the same way. I know you alterned orientation for visual appeal, but you'd never build a container that way. Yeah, i know, i should build more models and not watch as many engineering videos... oh well...

Absolutely awesome video. These are great. Hopefully you include these in future battle videos.

Some of those in the bottom left at 6:45 remind me a ton of doom.

Excellent video as always Guy! I'll be sure to employ some of these tricks for my future wargaming :) Though I must say I'm disappointed by you taking an Atomic Heart sponsorship: Both because of it's a sponsorship sealed before the game even released, which means you most likely had no way of validating whether the product is actually worth promoting, but also because the game is very closely tied to the Russian government and overall mirred in Pro-Russian controversies, even involving the on-going invasion. A modicum of research would've been appreciated...

I’d love to see some fallout or bio shock stuff. The narrative wargame the modiphius makes for fallout is wonderful btw and worth a shot

If you were longing to maintain Soviet style of Atomic Heart, you definitely should go for blue on the tracktor, it is the classical thing.
