How to Make a Toxic Waste Pool // Warhammer 40K and Necromunda Terrain
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I'll show you how how to make a toxic waste pool out of an Ikea picture frame. It's a cool piece of terrain that'll fit your gaming table for Warhammer 40K and Necromunda as well as Kill Team and similar scifi tabletop wargames.
This is probably the easiest project, I’ve started, but somehow I still managed to mess it up. Still, I kinda managed to salvage it and I ended quite liking the results, even though I thought “this is gonna be 💩" throughout the process. Happy little accidents. :-)

I would love to see your take on how to make miniature scale sandbags.

That's a really cool idea you could easily throw those down and use them for all kinds of things.

Thanks! Yeah, there are a lot of options. And they're cheap as well as easy and fast to make. Easy to store and probably quite durable. :-)
Great idea for portals too especially if you can get smaller ones that you can have standing upright (on some piece of terrain).

Oh, I didn't think of that. Great idea. :-)
You could use this same technique to create a sort of swimming pool/fountain piece. Just with the center colored blue or maybe a more muted green. The edges could be painted more like gray concrete, or you could go really fancy by adding mosaic patterns (though any way you do it, it'll take a lot more work).

Yeah, there are a lot of possibilities for sure. I like your ideas. :-)
Great video. Perfect demonstration of why I cover everything, everything in a thin layer of Mod Podge. You can literally spray paint foam after a coat of Mod Podge and adds a strength to every project I make that I can't get any other way. Enjoy my friends!
I've searched about 10 different little projects tonight and I don't even have to search different channels because this one has everything die-cast/scale...keep up the good work very informative videos

I really like how you had an accident, but then went and reworked it to be a part of your scene. Really fun to watch how to get out of an artistic hole like that.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I weren't sure if I should keep it in the video, but I thought that it's part of the process, so I might as well show it as it is. :-)
Great simple idea! With a red it could even be a lava pit for a refinery.

And now you got me thinking about all the different shapped picture frames, in different scenes :o)
Two weeks later, and I made my own toxic waste pool following your example. (I made sure to give the frame a good sanding first, so there was no trouble with peeling paint). Thank you for inspiring this project.

I just thought of something, for people who don't like the shiny glass, you can always spray it with some varnish to tone it down. It'll stay just as transparent. There are probably other things you can do as well for fun, like adding various clear resin or acrylic effects like Green Stuff World 'Splash Gel' to add some transparent texture. AK interactive also has a bunch of acrylic water effects that you can either just add on top or add to make ripples and small waves.

A bunch of good ideas there. My initial intention actually was to make a comparison video of different ways of faking water effects, but then I found the picture frame, had a light bulb moment and then this thing kinda took over. :-D
Apart from being a great build video, the rust effect tutorial is superb.
Every project I've ever done! Brilliant idea. Haphazard execution. Cheers.

I find using gel filters for photography can be used to produce interesting effects.

Hi, great video, congratulations! I'm an amateur woodworker and watching your video I was thinking.... Have you ever thought about using a (micro) circular saw to cut this material? With your skill I'm sure you wouldn't have any difficulty. There are kits of circular saw blades to Dremel of about 5 cm in diameter, with a 775 motor the cut would be very easy, fast and practical. The big difference would be the side guide(fence), on which you support and slide the part you want to cut against the saw blade, for a precise cut. This gives repeatability to the cuts. You would have a very useful tool for subsequent projects and it would still earn you another great video for the channel. Hope I helped, all the best.

Thanks! :-) No, I hadn't thought of that, but that might be useful. Thanks for the suggestion. I've seen that there are mini table saws out there - Proxxon makes one. But I haven't even bought a rotary tool yet. :-D
Great stuff - I'm really keen on trying this

good to see some mistakes that can happen! So you understand why you should varnish before using masking tape etc
Fantastic result considering the difficulties. I might make something similar myself. I'll probably just make the frame out of wood as I have woodworking tools.

I would also love to see you do some shipping containers! I've seen some really interesting ones with corrugated cardboard sides, but so many of them have 3d printed fronts, which is a bit boring IMO

In this specific case the ideal volume is when the music is barely audible (it changes from one track to another) . this setting is correct if you make montage without speaking. sorry man, it's a pain to learn this kind of stuff. editing suck :)
