There’s no way that our American cereal box card could remain flat with so much moisture put on top of it. Ours curls and the layers separate, as soon as it gets moisture.

Yeah, results may vary. I find the glue does provide some barrier to the moisture for the cardboard, and I try to keep all the walls close to the edges to prevent the whole piece from warping, but I understand this may not work for all cardboard types. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.

These are fantastic. Top notch, mate. It makes me think back to around 2005 when I purchased a heavy, expensive resin model of a desert building. Now, I know I can make the same thing myself out of cheap materials AND have a great time doing it. Thanks for the inspiration. Your channel is awesome. Keep on truckin'.

Thanks mate. Glad you like them. A great way to use up some odd off-cuts and scraps of foam and get some quick terrain on the table. The sandy base really helps to finish these off if you can manage to make some up as well. Thank you for the comment. Happy New Year.

These look great. For 40K we also need need taller 5”+ and they need to be thinner and breachable. So portions of ruins and doors and windows. Thanks for your great vids.

Cheers. I'm always looking for bigger and better builds to try, and I'm not familiar enough with the mechanics of games to figure out details like these. Thanks for your comment mate. Glad you enjoy the channel. Let me know if you have any specific requests and I can see what I can do in the future. Take care and all the best in 2021.

**UPDATE** : There was an error in the links used in this video pointing to the details about the 45 degree foam cutting tool I made. I have fixed this link now (1:41 in the linked video), but it just means the following linked video (using a handheld foam cutter as a table cutter), will no longer be there (can't link the same video twice), so just keep in mind the details of those tools are in the same video linked here : kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3Zsw5dvhN3OdLw.html . Happy new year everyone. I managed to round out this year with one last terrain video. I hope you enjoy this quick build of some desert terrain. It's been a great year for the channel, and I've appreciated all the support and views you guys have given me.

In the UK Amazon sell stuff branded as 'greyboard' (a term usually associated with thick cardboard in the UK) which does not have the paper backing. I've been using the 5mm thick stuff for desert buildings and had no problems.

Did you make a video of how you made the 45° cutter??

@RFDHobby

3 жыл бұрын

Hey mate. You can find details of the 45 degree cutting tool at 1:41 in this video here. Sorry about the confusion with the link... kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3Zsw5dvhN3OdLw.html

Hmm... No Brick Textures? Those Desert Buildings are made with Bricks and then plastered over with a clay mix. Otherwise they don't survive any rain or strong wind errosion. Also the Hot Glue is visible in lots of corners here. The paint is too brick red. Sun baked mud brics aren't red but still resemble the mud color. Normally the plastering is then colored more white, but not always. They make the white paint with ash and it wears off very quickly. So using a more light grey color is preferable.

Man I watched that vid did I miss the tool you made for 45* cuts?

@RFDHobby

3 жыл бұрын

Oh crap. I'll check to make sure I linked the right video...so sorry mate. In the meantime, it's just a piece of wood with a 45 degree cut on one side, and a craft blade screwed onto the 45. You can adjust the blade cut depth by just moving the blade slightly, and easily replace the blade when needed. I'll check that link, but it's a super simple tool, and there's really not much too it at all. Let me know if I can help further.
