Nothing captures the horrors of war quite like the land itself being scoured by many shovels. Desperate men, in absence of ready cover against swift-flying death, gouge wounds into the earth for protection against their opposite numbers over no man's land. Excellent build.

Thank you, I appreciate that. 😊 It's an interesting thought. There's something to the adage of "a rising tide lifts all boats", because someone who's interested in the hobby doesn't just watch one video or even just one KZread channel. And you can even watch multiple videos on basically the same build, because of different personalities, approaches, video styles and ways of explaining. But then again, there are a lot(!) of small KZread channels in this domain, and people don't watch an infinite amount of channels - they chose the ones they like the best. But I think most of them quit early. Most KZreadrs in generel quit when they find out how much work it is. Making a hobby video is even more work than a talking head video. I certainly underestimated how much time actually goes into editing a video like mine, because the ones I'd watched by other KZreadrs seemed so effortless. 😄

Hey he did it!

One of the nicest details I've ever seen was on my mates trench system. Same duck boards; the difference was he cut the legs off a Cadian, watered down same pallet he used for the muddy terrain and made hundreds of boot prints either side of the walk ways to make them look well travelled. A small detail but it looked amazing!

The corrugated cardboard as trench walls was a great idea and something for me to use in future builds.

This method would work great for space hulk also, of course it would be hallways not trenches

It always impresses me when I see cool pieces like this. I wish I had the room to make buildings and terrain; I actually legitimately once built a fair sized ruin out of cardboard; sprue for rebar, used Pringles tubes and straws for pipes.

You could do a video of the Primaris Eliminators with their camo cloaks; and paint them with mirror paint, then give them a terrain piece they blend into using their mirror painted camo cloak. I tried to paint scout marine camo cloaks to have a mirror appearance so they reflected their surroundings to cloak them; kind of similar to the cloaking mechanics in DoW 2.

love your stuff! really like seeing all the different experiments, what doesn't work is just as informative (and sometimes more) as what does. I've been struggling with finding an inexpensive alternative to ground texture materials. would you mind doing a video on the dirt you ended up using in this project? I know there tends to be more steps than "grab dirt, put on terrain". Also if you sift it at all, what did you use? trying to find a garden sieve/sifter with the proper levels has been quite the challenge as well. keep up the great work! 👍

So I grabbed some dirt, spread it out on a cardboard sheet and let it dry in a warm place. Some people bake it to kill any microorganisms, but when I did that with sand some years ago, my oven smelled like seaweed for months after. 😄 Then I crushed any large lumps and sifted the small particles from the large. I have a colander that I bought for that purpose (along with a sieve), but I couldn't find it, so I grabbed a piece of flexible material with holes in it that I had lying around. Don't know what it was, but I'm guessing cheesecloth or tulle would work just as well.

Just found the channel, am loving the content! Its a very in depth explanation of how you made everything while not being over the top! :D Main thing id ask for is a tad prevalence of the little subtitles labelling what you use, and maybe the addition of little notes for the onscreen bits. Although I understand that itd be a lot more editing work, so mainly an idea. In addition, how do these peices hold up with play. I really want to make some for my local group but dont want to have them break down. Oh and also maybe a thing saying how long the process took?

@thecultofcrafting

Жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot! 😊 Could you perhaps point me to a couple of places where you felt it needed labels or explanation? I'm a bit blind to it, because I went through the process. 😁 I'd say they're very tough. I don't know if that type of wall filler (for 2-10 cm large holes) is particular hard or it's all the glue I added, but it seems very hard. The most fragile thing is probably the stacks of sandbag that might come off if they're hit by a hand trying to get to a model. But that will probably just mean gluing them back in places. In my experience the bags won't break, it's just the bond between them that can be a bit on the weak side. It's very hard to estimate the time spent, because recording makes the process much longer. Also drying times are a big factor. It's a wild guess, but 10 hours total work time spread out over 5-7 days seems realistic. Might be more, because the sandbags took a lot of time to make. The rest of the individual steps actually didn't take that long.

Amazing work
