I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and they're awesome. Thank you for providing so much detail. What do you use for hardening the XPS foam? I think it was sculpting paste with cellulose insulation and drywall. I'm using foam to build a wall but it breaks easily and I'm trying to find some way of toughening it. I also had a go at making a roll mat with caulking. Thanks so much for your videos, they have been a great inspiration and help.

Really love the rebar effect you've achieved with the garden wire, it's simple but adds so much to the feel of the buildings

I really like the suggestion of using old vinyl tile pieces for the base.

Lots good tips in here. I like the use of those erasers as lids... among other things

I initially got them as a crafting Greblie, but they work really well as lids.

I would actually just use these for a Stalingrad game. Since I play Bolt Action, these kinds of scatter terrain would look great for various bombed out areas of Europe. Great video!

I really love the old school "DIY" aspect of your builds... most content creators nowadays have gone the "prefab" rout (buying most of their pieces.).

This is low-key the best terrain video in KZread.

I love your style of presentation; and the terrain looks great.

As soon as you said, "tip snips" I was like wait, this guy is Canadian. That vinyl tile idea is great, never considered it. Cheers from BC!!

That was an insight into what we term battlefield rubble, as no area is ever dead flat, so even piles of dead soldiers, though smelly over time can be effective and in War there are always casualties.

Subbed, you've got great style for terrain craft! :)

Pastel weathering pigments, what a tip!

I like the return to previously abandoned projects. It gives me hope. This was a very cool build.

Just had this vid recommended. Instant sub. Great stuff.

Very nice tutorial. Quite inspiring. Thank you.

Another great build! Also - I wish all of my half-done projects all fit in one box :-(

I've thrown out a lot of stuff in the past, haha. Good to keep that pile in check every once in a while.

Good stuff pretty realistic and looks playable. Some things I found useful for building bombed out urban terrain is to actually build the whole building or infrastructure in tact and then cut it up and brake it down. The broken segments can then be used for the ruble, can be orientated to make more terrain, create (textured) ramps and just makes it feel more realistic. Also being deliberate about the destruction adds a lot to it. Big charred craters and bullet holes work great. The gardening wire you used worked great for rebar, you can also use thin copper tubing for piping. Raid your spare parts, you can add insignia, equipment, weapons and body parts from any army to show fighting.

Great content mate, really appreciate that effort you put in.

Very nice. Some more very useful terrain. Great results for your effort and it's always nice to finish those unfinished projects that just sit around taunting you. 👍

Nice scatter terrain, I'll have to add this to my list of future projects.

Great terrain. Love the bombed-out city look. Classic warzone set dressing.

I really like this video. Your technique is very creative and thorough. It's definitely an inspiration for me with my first terrain project which I will start in 2022.

Huge fan of this type of terrain!

Great video. I guess i need to build some more ruins too 😍

Yes! This is the kind of scatter terrain tutorial I'm looking for and which moved me to subscribe. Thank you for the inspiation.

I would love to see a video from you on the playability of terrain pieces and what are common pitfalls that make terrain less fun in games. I hate seeing under-populated boards or terrain pieces that just go to waste (particularly in fantasy games). Conversely I enjoy seeing a decked-out board and terrain that integrates easily into the flow of a game. As a kid I only loved Necromunda just because it was the first game I could get shooters at high elevations.

This looks amazing. Good job! I'm subscribinh.

Great!

awesome, earned my sub

wow amazing build pls make more scatter terrain. little pieces are less intimidating to make also consider medieval fantasy

This is the most I've learned from a youtube video about wargaming terrain in 11 minutes. The tip (pun not intended) about the pencil erasers itself is awesome. Likewise, sprinkling the tile grout with water to make it flow and harden by itself randomly is great, as is the tip about the acrylic gesso. Lastly, the terrain looks super cool and very useful. Thank you for sharing! One question: which pastels are you using to do weathering with?

My only issue with chipboard is that it warps VERY easily unless it's anchored to something. Have you found a way to minimize that?

Noting the mask...do you also use a booth, or just the mask alone. Also, is the choice of booth/no booth due to the size of your space?

I need to set up a booth at some point, just to keep the mess down. In the meantime, the acrylics I spray in my air brush aren't that harmful if they float around for a bit while I paint in my workshop.

Wondering how i will do this paste without a vinyl base... the amount of water and contraction might cause the dreaded warping of the base. hmm
