I don't know what it is about these little foam bricks, but they're so satisfying and they make me so happy.

This is some great content, dude. Good length, well explained, quality sound and video, chill music bed. It's like one of those Zen cooking videos but for tabletop people. Keep it up!

All the effort you put into the individual bricks culminated in a great finished product! Very cool.

Love your videos. Sharing it on the Frostgrave Facebook group.

Thank you, in my opinion - one of the best tutorials for foam ruins on entire YT. I am going to replicate it this week. Wish me luck! :)

Great video and great build. One thing on a ruined building like this it is a bit weird that all bricks are in one piece unharmed ;-)

Just amazing 😮 Jay Shree Ram ❤

Trying this today! Going to go through a lot of black paint it seems. I'm guessing spray painting wouldn't work as well due to all the recesses

Good luck! If you're using spray paint, make sure it's foam-safe. The propellent in normal spray paint chews through foam. Test it out on a scrap piece before trying it on your build.

Well. I guess I need to make some bricks tomorrow.

Getting into the wargaming hobby and found this video! Awesome work and great walkalong! I do have a question about the thickness of foam you are using I assume this if 1/2" thick foam. FOR THE ALGORITHM :)!

Hi Johnathun, welcome to the hobby! Yes that's right, the foam starts out as 1/2" thick. I also sometimes use 1" thick foam. The bricks are 1cm by 1cm by 2cm.

What are your thoughts on using balsa wood instead of foam for the wood? Feels like you could potentially get a more realistic result and have an easier time getting the wood grain texture

@OkayHobbyTime

Absolutely! Balsa would totally work. Personally, I prefer foam since it's much cheaper and can be turned into something a bit more stylized with a hot wire cutter.

👏👏👏

Awesome looking build man!! One tip that I have for you is when you paint the foam with the base color (in this case black) mix in some modpodge matte with the paint. This will help strengthen the foam to make your terrain more durable. Check out Jeremy’s KZread channel Black Magic Craft to find the recipe and also to get some inspiration for more builds.He has some amazing terrain and many tips for building with foam. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks! I'm familiar with Jeremy's awesome work and know about his Mod Podge mixture. I personally don't have any issues with durability as-is, but I'd agree with you and suggest adding Mod Podge if the extra strength is needed.

If you use wood glue instead of P.V.A. the bond is stronger. You can DIY your own mod podge mixture that works just fine when mixed with paint; just do a Y.T. search.

For the algorithm

If you wanted to seal your build, what would you use?

Mixing mod podge into the black base coat is great way to add extra durability.

I don't know that I'd be able to achieve the same results without a foam wire cutter thing, seems like just a utility knife wouldn't work nearly as well.

For bricks, I'd suggest 5mm thin foam board and using a knife to make 5mm x 5mm x 10mm bricks. It'd be tricky to cut down thicker XPS foam. For the wood, a wire brush can produce some nice texture.

Be warned, this project is impossible without the hot wire table. Manually cutting bricks and planks is an exercise in frustration and futility.

@OkayHobbyTime

Haha, it's definitely not as easy. I'd suggest some alternatives such as regular foamboard walls without individual bricks and stir sticks / balsa wood for the planks.

Hi enjoying yr video. But may I make a comment from the side looking on... SHAKE YR BRICKS & ROCKS A LITTLE MORE. THE TEXTURE IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. OK. CHEERZ TO YOU. Denise W.A.
