Wow, some ppl are just dumb af, card board literally breaks down and decomposes, unlike that shitty cell phone you use

I've used this method many times before. It comes out better when you squeeze out the excess water from the cardboard pulp in a strainer real good, before you mix in the pva glue. And don't blend the cardboard too much...just pulse it enough to leave some chunks. The variations in the chunk sizes acts like bonding fibers for stability and strength when it's all 100% dry with the glue. I make terrain, houses, and castles; and that always gave me a rock hard, texture-rich finish.

Hey, it looks like rocks! Nice work. I was sad to see that Cat melted, then I was happy again that you fixed him, then I was sad again when he melted a second time. This video is an emotional rollercoaster!

Your videos never cease to entertain and slightly terrify me…it’s great. I love it. 10/10

This is exactly the ingenuity people need to see to get inspired when they’re first starting out! Thank you so much for experimenting with this.

Its great seeing how you always manage to create terrain from such simple stuff. Many people out there always try to tell you all the fancy stuff you need to make terrain, but all it really needs is some creativity and love

They look great! Even the few tiny bits of corrigated-ness that were still visible have got soggy enough that they look organic and add some nice variation. Will definitely try this in future.

Caught your video just by chance and really enjoyed it. Perfect amount of sarcastic humor and the graphic / animations add and are not distracting. Good job!

Oooooo, you should do an ancient robot half imbedded in the sandstone. Maybe it's like an oracle that other robots travel long distances to ask it questions.

This is seriously so helpful. I'm all about saving some pennies with my dnd terrain and this will seriously change my games 👍👍👍

I built myself a post-apocalyptic gas mask for LARP using only a dust mask, cardboard and some filler, looked amazing. The stuff just isn't durable for heavy duty and will break somewhat easily, but if you take care of it, cardboard is good material

Love this vid! The rocks came out great and I'm a massive fan of seeing experiments with diff methods/ingredients. How long will you keep that pulp around or would you generally prep it before making something like this? (My sympathies for the cat, I feel much the same at the moment)

@@BillMakingStuff As a heads up, I’d mix in a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide 3% or white distilled vinegar - otherwise it will most likely grow mold!! (I had that happen before… 😭)

Awesome. Could be adapted for the corners of buildings for any scenario. Impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Actually, those are some of the best rocks I've seen. Nice technic.

This is great! Very simple and informative tutorial and the end result looks fantastic. Will try and make a few of these myself! Thank you

Just honestly Bill thank you for existing and giving me ideas

as a avid fan of new uses for cardboard in hobbies: I think this one takes the cake

This channel deserves SO much more attention and recognition. I have only now discovered it and i love it

Add a few drops of vinegar to the PVA/Pulp mix, or you have only succeeded in making a mold and mildew farm.

These look great, and come very close to being in line with my budget! Thanks, Bill!

Excellent stuff as always. I've been saving up some cardboard so I need to get to work.

I like these kind of videos where you're trying something new, and show your failed attempts. Great learning, thanks Bill!

That was a great video! thank you for making it.

I have also used cardboard as the former for my dessert rocks. Stuck them to MDF, covered them in thin sheets of DAS Terracotta Modelling clay. Once dry, coated with Mod Podge . Then painted with Emulsion Tester paints from Homebase, highlighted with acrylics. They are fairly sturdy, but I will certainly be using your cardboard sludge, for various projects, so thanks for that. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Bill, this video *rocked* my world.

Love your creativity and not being afraid to think outside of the box! Great work!!

Those look great! You did a mighty fine job there.

Bill! This was such a good episode! You have no idea how much I'm going to use this technique in the future :)

I’m going to build so much stuff out of cardboard thanks to this. Thank you!!! The stone towers really turned out lovely!!!

This is such a genius hack with such strikingly realistic results. Well done!

Great use for cardboard. The rocks turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. I've seen people stacking cardboard to make rocks before, but adding a layer of pulp is new to me. It turned out looking really good!

I have a cardboard slab and was trying to decide what to do with it. NOW I KNOW! Thanks Bill.

Thanks for that (and all the rest) of your videos.

This was really cool , I remember foam/ polystyrene being like gold dust back in the day for terrain making and the glue-gun + cardboard maché is super effective. Would be cool for incorporating with other structural things building and bridges etc. , given the relative easy of stacking the layers.

this is a brilliant idea! Thank you. I plan on doing this at some point!

I too am living in this heat. Great work Bill! Sod this bloody weather..

Well I didn't expect the baking soda to make the pulp rise. That's wild.

Fun and simple and cheap. Entertaining as always. Thanks.

That is a great idea going to give it a try. Thanks Bill.

Great idea pulp'n the cardboard! totally gonna use that!!

Love the experimental videos. And love those rocks!

The look grand Bill. And best bit about it all is that you can still have cracking good terrain and ♻️ at the same time.

This was super inspiring! Will try this for a wasteland board.

Love the episode, its fun to see experimentation :) - Also! I do think the rocks have a bit more of an organic feel as in "root-y" "overgrown" etc. Maybe doing a pass after the goup has dried, sanding a bit like how wind wears down rocks over time. Otherwise maybe its ancient skyscrapers that has been covered in dirt and sand and grime? - "Fossilized buildings"

An original idea, who would have thought you had it in you... Great job! 😁

Hope you and the family had a good holiday Bill!

Love how they turned out Bill. I wonder about adding sawdust into the mix, as its absorbent and could add some texture?

You know, I've seen a lot of methods to make rock formations like this and I honestly think this is the most authentic looking. Great job, Bill!

Just stumbled across your channel, Wonderful editing, nice rocks, love the lines

👍👍Really interesting! I wonder if the test pieces might come out differently if they dried on something less absorbent than cardboard, like baking paper maybe (especially the one that went crumbly) 🤷🏼‍♀️ Final product came out great! 👍👍

experimented a little bit with some polystyrene bits and this method and managed to get myself some pretty dandy rocks and hills. this is pretty good technique

Omg these are amazing!!!

Lovely stuff. Thanks

I'll have to try out that pulp method sometime. It's similar to sculpta mold minus the plaster.

Cardboard is so versatile. Enjoyed your experiments and showing what works best.

Terrific, hope you can make more cardboard builds.

Looks awesome!👏

Looks great! I'm just getting started on some rickety medieval homes made of cardboard. If they look terrible it'll add to the aesthetic

Good stuff Bill!

Go Bill ! and very cool !

Oooo....I like this idea. I may adapt part of it and include a bit of toilet paper and PVA for "smoother" parts of rocks/stones, but definitely still use that rocks+cardboad+PVA mixture! Thanks for the inspiration!

Great video/tutorial!

Your ingenuity is frankly awesome. I never would have considered making a paste from cardboard of all things. Well done sir. Well done.

Here in New Mexico we got lots of sandstone and yeah, the layers definately tell us about the past. mainly through fossils and metal deposits tho lol. Amazing vid as well :)

Although i do love seeing you scratch build robots and miniatures, experimental projects are so great because it's uncharted territory and you're developing techniques and always adjusting for better results. I feel like kitbashing generally follows the same formula every time and this is sort of a breath of fresh air

Looks awesome! Need to start stockpiling cardboard 😅

I actually really like the experimentation process of this!!! I would not have thought of some of those combos ngl. This was really awesome. And of course that dryyyybruuusshhh 😍😂😂😂

Great video as always. One of the best rocks i have ever seen. I really like them

Nice. Those cardboard rocks look great.

Looks great!

Excelente video. MUY BUENA IDEA. Lo probaré en mis escenografías. Saludos!

You rule, ty for these, I look forward to uncle Bill’s videos! 🖖🏻

The "sand and gritty bits" mixture worked best because it acted as an aggregate like gravel does in concrete. The larger the bits the stronger the end product.

I don't generally do miniature gaming stuff, as much as I like making terrain, but I do make action figure set pieces, and I think this technique is going to be fantastic for it. Also, I have just waaay too much cardboard, so this is great!

I think that Tile Grout mixed in the Cardboard-PVA-Glue Mixture would help creating a really good modeling paste. I really dig the final result, even when I got reminded of a stack of bacon when you coloured the rock layers

Another great demonstration that you can make almost anything out of cardboard and glue. Also, poor cat.

Before you slather the paste, you could glue some kitchen roll over the top, so you don't have to smoosh so much material to fill the corrugated holes

Fantastic!

This rocks. A few tufts of vegetation, maybe some dug out holes for bird nests (or whatever critters you have in your world) and they'd be great story telling pieces.

Nice! Your structure looked like some pillars I have seen in a picture off utha

Lovely rocks! If you tilt the cardboard you can add even more variety maybe.

I love the paper shake.

This is some fantastic terrain, Bill! The level of detail you've achieved blows my mind. I love working with cardboard, and now I have something new to try. Thanks! Also, if Captain Planet were a true hero, he'd sacrifice is limbs to restore Cat...Or, would that make Cat too powerful?

I had a cardboard fort until I was 14 and built all kinds of stuff out of it. It’s just so versatile!

Cardboard is so versatile, plentiful and cheap, I use it to make wargaming hills, bogs marshes and so on. I suppose the layered cardboard approach could be used to create rock beings or robots... Great work and I enjoy your channel. Regards Lexi
