Pretty cool build, i like the idea of clading the foam core with zip ties for some easy detailing If i may suggest, i feel this build would have been an ideal project to try the hairspray technique or the salt chipping one and maybe dip your toes in oil weathering. I would like to see you tackle the latter especially. Keep up the good work! Praise be to the holiest of holies for in our times of need it haveth stuff! Amen

Drinking straws are easy to connect when you know how. Make a "V" shape in the straw with your finger/ nail. Fold it in on itself along the "V". Now insert into another straw. It will push fit just fine. The "V" has made the diameter smaller therefore it fits into the same straw size.

Adrian S it’s a miniature built from house junk, what kind of advice in the comments were you expecting to see?

That brings some memories :). When I was a teenager (some 25 years ago), I couldn't afford minis and terrain. We were playing Warzone with my friends back then. We were building our terrain from empty yogurt boxes, styrofoam, sand, moss and various scraps found in garages and sheds. We were even able to create our own minis by kitbashing cheap Chinese plastic toy soldiers, aircraft and tank model kits, polymer clay (that colorful kind for kids), paper, old toys, and so on. I actually think that years of such kitbashing and also creating own rule books for our minis made me a game designer :).

The 'Mini-me' figure at the end made me laugh.

I love this build so much, because it uses so many small techniques. Zip ties? Brilliant! Bendy hollow cotton swab tubes as pipes? Genius! This was a lot of fun to watch!

I love seeing you branch out into different styles. As you have said, it takes you out of you comfort zone and shows us how you adapt to what you want to make. It also shows that any and all of the videos that have gone before can apply to any genre or style. Thanks for another great production.

I really like this build. I think the fact it's a first time and not perfect adds to the aged look. And being a painter myself, the mantra "its just paint, if you don't like it paint it again" has always served me well.

Posted on the Patreon board, but will post here again, awesome build! I love how builds just completely transform from "straws, a can, bits o' junk" to awesomeness after even just the primer hits it! And I love your graffiti hack! Forgot about that trick you showed before (paint pen and black tipped marker, brill!!). I lurv these industrial post modern apocalyptic builds. :)

This is literally the first terrain tutorial I ever watched when I got back into mini gaming. I even recreated the build and added my own little flair. Got me into terrain building just as much as miniature painting.

Eric's Hobby Workshop showed me that small candles are probably the best for bending styrene/cotton buds. Cool build though

Thanks for not making this rely on 3D printed parts. Too many videos lately have so many printed parts that many of us who can't afford a printer get put off by even watching the video. Thanks for getting back to old school!

As someone who mostly plays modern/post-apocalyptic skirmish games (Fallout Wasteland Warfare mostly), I appreciate your more recent videos dealing with that type of terrain. Thanks!

The mesh tape would be good for your bases, in small pieces!

you inspired me so much to start crafting for d&d. this video is so fun, more so because you left in the unnecessary paint job. I'm absolutely trying this out one day if I have any modern/industrial/steampunk campaigns. as a high school student I don't have as many resources and finances to support this hobby, but I absolutely love everything I make. for the most part. I mean, there's things to be improved. currently working on a tower with a removable wall made out of a big Lidl chips party bucket. I have two of those and I'm considering adding a removable bridge that could connect them.

Jeremy! That tape is such a great idea... I totally forgot I had some for patching a wall hole. Totally stealin' it!

Eric's Hobby Workshop has a nice easy technique for painting these old industrial terrain pieces.

Tim's double double on the way to 'Crappy Tire'... Nothing more Canadian than that!

Fun build! I love the zip tie cladding, and it was fun to see the evolving paint strategy!

Great episode Jeremy, A superb depiction of making 3D Art out of sack cloth. Couple things: When using an expansion foam to fill cans use a SLO-BLO. Any brand will do. Fill the container half to three-quarters with the SLO-BLO and wait...and wait...and...you get the picture. The SLO-BLO's properties are such to expand slow and stiff while not blowing out the sides. Decades ago I used a can to build a COG Railway Loco. Just a scenery siding piece. It quickly buckled and became a wrecked Cog Railway Loco. Back in the 2000's I found SLO-BLO to insulate existing windows in our home. With a spot in one can and an entirely full can I decided to waste the foam. I made rocks, hills, and with the last drop I shot it into the boiler of the Cog and before my eye the dings, dents, and puckers straightened out. Give it a shot. As for your "Holiest of Holies" when my kids were young I would take them to Habitat for Humanity builds over the weekend. After they put in a full days labor we would go to a junk food joint for a nouch. When leaving the kid's always tried, for naught, to keep me from going to what they called "OH NO, NOT Daddy's toy store." Home Depot. AH! Ya' gotta love kids. Homicide is a crime. ~Jim

Top tip for a cool texture: dab some crumpled up tinfoil against a flat surface you've just sprayed! Gives it an instant worn-down, flaked paint look. Great build none the less!

Super cool!!! Great and pleasant video. Thanks for sharing.

Love these scatter terrain builds

I think the way it was built gives it a lot of character. I love the zip tie idea for the edges. Overall looks great for what it is. Keep up the awesome work

Including your trip to Canadian Tire with the mandatory side trip to Timmys... Pure magic dude!

13:25 That's damned good advice. It's also something I had to do recently on a piece. lol A few years ago, that would've caused me to completely abandon the project. But remembering that it's just paint and that I can always buy more helped me push through and get to a place where I was happy with the piece.

New to the community but man I absolutely love your stuff. I'm struggling with translating it down to a smaller scale for BattleTech but I'll eventually figure it out. While I love the builds, I think the best thing I get out of it all is your use of around the house stuff and making non-hobby stuff useful. You've also gotten me going into Dollar General and Dollar Tree down south here to find stuff. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching my subs for more stuff from you!

Build looks pretty spot on. I've seen old tanks look like that at work.

Hi Jeremy. Love it. Don't do yourself down. The piece of industrial art which you have made is both atmospheric and practical. Well done. Mike

Love this build! Would love to see you do more industrial/modern terrain. Also thank you for the tip on drywall tape, thats a much better use for it!! haha

I think this is a very cool build - thanks for sharing!

Awesome and everyone has easy access to the materials used 👍🏻

I love the zip tie idea for covering the foam and adding a bit of detail. Nice tip that I'll have to try to remember.

Really enjoy when you show us some of the mundane times during your builds and the multiple paint jobs =)

Looks great! Even though I won't be playing any modern / post apocalyptic settings anytime soon, it's definitely educational in some other stuff I was working on. Thanks for everything you do!

Great build, I love Canadian Tire too, lot's of great stuff there

I do so love these types of builds. 👍🏻

Very nice, going back over any industrial build videos I can in anticipation of starting a 15mm Sci-fi collection.

Turned out awesome. I don't play any post apocalyptic games or even modern games that I would need this type of terrain for. I'm considering just making some dioramas so that I have an excuse. There are so many possibilities. Watching Wyloch always leaves me with these same thoughts. lol

Brilliant project. Thanx for the inspiration.

Gotta say the build is perfect for the setting. Also, graffiti is such a nice touch and just looks amazing. It seems to me you undervalue your builds lately, while I find experimentation and trial/error approach as an ideal learning tool for anyone trying to replicate it. You end up creating something nice anyway, and it helps other people feel human along the way when they too mess it up :)

Definitely give yourself more credit! As an example: the hand made ladder provides more of an eroding/old feeling than an even 3D print would. Love it!

I think it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

thanks so much for what you do. I've been watching a lot of your tutorials and started crafting about a month ago. it's my therapy, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 months ago. After a year and a half of pure hell, not knowing what was going on.With pain from head to toe and memory loss accompanied by severe depression and anxiety. I definitely know what your wife is going through and totally empathize with her situation.Chronic illiness is no joke glad she is doing better. I was heavy into bodybuilding and about sixty five pounds heavier it killed me to lose all the hard gained muscle.I retreated to my couch. I was forced into early retirement.

Good build. I have used tins and cans for castle towers in the past. I work in smaller scales (15mm or 1/100) and I find that the slim cans which contain soft drinks or pre-mixed cocktails are very useful for slim towers while a stout round keep can come from a larger canned fruit or canned veg tin. I have also used cardboard tubes bridged together to make a twin tower gatehouse. The sliding portcullis was made from the stiff embroidery netting set with PVA and strengthened with strips of balsa. B

LOVED it showing you going to store and your lil pit stop haha

That build takes me back to the days when I was playing Warhammer 40,000 second edition, and the first thing I built back then was an outdoor toilet (long drop I guess you guys call it)! Think I’m gonna buy me some cans and start making terrain again! Cheers dude for the inspiration!!

Loved the trip to Timmies and Crappy Tire. Can't go to one without the other.

The paper straws as couplers is an awesome idea! Nice build!

I love it when you make post apocalyptic terrain, it inspires me when I try to make something for Fallout Wasteland Warfare. Portage Ave!

Its so nice to actually see Canada for once in something I watch. lil taste of home & will def help me budget.

Yep. Cool. I enjoyed the trip to buy paint. I live just a bit south in ND., but I haven't been to Winnipeg for decades. Great channel you have. 👍😊

Having been into model railroading for years I've scratch built some stuff in my day. First let me say to you, " Stop condemning your work!" I myself have used thing laying around the house to pump up a build. What you've created out of nothing is nothing short of magic. I think it looks damn good and people know what it is when they look at it. That's a great job! Be proud of it.

good on ya mate the build looks awesome it was really fun watching you build it and experiment with painting and I found that throughout the video you really tried to keep the parts crafty so people without gear could really make something similar and now I cant wait to give this build a go.

Great build! I love seeing you do builds like this. They are very inspiring. I'm happy you're enjoying the new-found power of your 3D printer, but please, keep on doing these sorts of things for those of your adoring fans who are still old-school. ;)

Expanding foam works great for cans, I did loads years ago and they were spot on.

a) Love this. b) I think you're super hard on yourself, remember you're a youtube crafty person sharing your secrets and tips and teaching us so much. I learn so much watching your videos and watching your process and that is super super helpful, the cableties/zipties thing for cladding is a really awesome idea and I'm totally stealing that idea. We get to watch the things you create and then we go out and make even more awesome stuff. You're doing well sweety and always look forward for more. c) Damn that oil = ink + epoxy trick looked awesome, going to def steal that to make green goops and stuff.

Hey man, I really like it! All the paint layers adds character!

Hahaha so awesome to see my old stomping grounds. Thanks for filming a little of good old Peg ;)

Looks Great!

You are too critical. I think it's awesome! I really appreciate the time you take with the painting which is a lot of why your stuff is so great.

I liked this tutorial because you made an interesting piece of terrain using everyday items and a lot of imagination. The tank looks great and the finish gives it a neglected look but still functional. Thanks for sharing this neat tutorial and I hope you will do more terrain like this in the future.

Fun build. Thanks! 😃

I built a few of these last year using some 3d printed parts to disguise the can ends. I had the same idea about using expanding foam but about 1/3 of the cans collapsed after a couple of months. I'm guessing that the foam shrinks slightly over time. Making the can air tight with a cap and hot glue makes them push back a bit instead of collapsing. I ended up adding a series of bands around the outside to add a bit more strength.

This was a really fun build. I'd love to see you have a crack at making some Gaslands cars.

Spray foam works really well for structural integrity without adding much weight. A little goes a long way, so it’s a good investment for multiple projects.

It looks awesome, wow, good job!

I’ve only just discovered the joys of bendy straws. Thank you for the tip on using paper straws for joins! I was trying to figure out how to do that 👍🏻👍🏻

This is one of the first terrain videos I ever watched, and I think it's one of the first I'm gonna try building, just with a little more steampunk twist. And a smaller tank I found on a toy truck. For a Malifaux board eventually.

This is awesome, way better than my can / tanks. This might cause me to revisit and "upgrade" them. Great work!!

honestly man, thats nostalgic as all hell. this brings me back to bright eyed 14 year old me rummaging anything i could find to make 40k terrain. the difference is, yours turned out great. we used to make craters out of old cd's and those triangle wedge make up sponges covered in jointing compound and kitty litter. i also loved pulling the reader arms out of hard drives and using them as medium sized crane arms in industrial terrain. great work dude. id love to see you do more sci fi stuff again.

I don't think you give this piece enough credit. Looks great for a post-apoc setting of any kind.

This is a really cool build.

i think it looks fantastic... love watching your awesome videos

Howdy, I'm loving all of your vids. I'm new to the game and currently building my first building (which is turning out really well.) Thanks for all the tips.

Its cool in many points. I like the paintjob . :-) The graffites are cool: The texture of the strips and the grid thingy are really cool. The pipes .. the pipe connectors .. so man cool ideas. Your heat gun job scares me. Are you a cyborg with a built in cooling system in your fingers?!?! :-D

Great project and great video.

I'm a huge fan of necromunda and dystopic type games so this is right up my alley. The graffiti was a solid touch.

Love it, gives me ideas for gaslands and crisis protocol

I notice you keep putting yourself down in so far as how well your stuff turns out. I mean, maybe it doesn't look like professional 3d printed and painted premade bought from the store stuff, but I'm always floored with what you create and even this I feel looks so realistic all things considered. It really looks awesome and when you first held it up in the beginning I genuinely couldn't tell what all you had used to put it together, not even guessing youd used a can or recognized that the ridged bends were from bendy straws. This build is amazing and your skill and creativity is amazing!

I don’t put myself or my work down, I’m just comfortable critiquing it positively and negatively. I’m very pragmatic about my strengths and weaknesses. When I criticize something it doesn’t mean I don’t like it, it simply means I’m analyzing and learning from it.

The running out of paint road trip was epic. That was a lot of paint applied for such a small project. LOL. Pretty dam crafty though! Thanks for sharing!

Just a suggestion for filling in the top of the can with the pull tab. Instead of foam core maybe use matboard which comes in 2, 4, 6 and 8 ply. Th 4 ply would probably work best. You can always layer different plys to get what you need. You need so little that if you go to a picture framing shop I bet they would just give you scraps from the trash that would work. I used to own such a business and I was always giving away scraps for other uses. Better than going in the trash!

You keep saying it looks 'off' and not great, but I think it looks awesome! Exactly what you would expect in a dystopia future! When you started painting I was thinking 'oh no' but as you finished up it looked awesome!! 10/10 for me!

I think the tank turned out awesome. I make dollhouse miniatures but I really enjoy watching your work. Thanks
