This came out just fine. And yes, rivets are absolutely necessary.
Thank you! What is a dystopian/post apocalyptic/sci-fi thingy without rivets?
I should have seen you WAY earlier as my hobby table is still full of bad attempts! Your system looks real easy!
I know we all have bad attempts sometimes. Hopefully, my video gives you some other options to try.
I never thought I would ever need to make a shantytown … and now that I do, I knew exactly who to come to. You da man!
You rock! Glad I can help!
Pretty nifty! Looks great top AND bottom! Paper towel tubes are so useful. If you want to make them really strong, roll up some cardboard and shove it inside. Then insert a few bamboo skewers. Paint the ends with elmer's glue and you are done. This works if you are building levels. That way it can really hold some weight if needed.
Great idea! These are actually tubes from Parchment paper rolls. Much more sturdy than paper towel roll, but a great suggestion nonetheless. Thank you!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 Yes those much stronger. Like the ones in aluminum foil rolls. Very tough. Forgot to mention, I really like how you rolled the foam around the tubes. Makes for great detail! The 3d printed I-beams are well done. A 3D printer does speed up the process. I just purchased a laser cutter. Going to use in to cut all my cardstock, mdf and hardboard. I can cut it by hand, but I'm use to designing signs and cutting vinyl. Been in the sign business just over 3 decades. A laser cutter will just speed up my process and make the parts more accurate. Plus it will give my fingers a break from the exacto knife. lol Another fine video. Keep up the good work.
I am jealous! I have considered getting a laser cutter myself for the very same reason. Funnily enough, I used to install vinyl signs years ago. I bet you can make some awesome decals, backdrops, and facades with those skills. Nice!
You might get granny grating to stick to superglue, if you roughen up the surface with sandpaper. Even if it's only the topmost layer, while avoiding the recesses, it might do the trick.
Thank you for that advice. I have tried it with no success. I have considered using gorilla construction adhesive but haven't tried yet.
I loved how the structure looks from underneath at 11:58. At first I was like "meh it's a platform" but seeing the different ways other terrain could be incorporated on it changed my view. This is fantastic.
I'm glad I was able to sway you! I know it's simple but has so much potential.
Sorted cheers! I have been trying to figure out how to build the inside of the Fortress I built in my latest video. I now know what I am doing!
Awesome! Glad I could help. Was just about to watch that one. Thumbnail looks fantastic!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 Cheers it was hard work but I do have some cool pics. Enjoy.
I loved the video. Had to watch it twice but the 2nd time was just to listen while I work. You have a very soothing voice.
Well, I've heard I have a face for radio. Ha! Thank you so much for watching!
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you!
I like this video so much that I watched it twice and subbed. Good info and nice easy approach to everything. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it and welcome!
Excellent work.
Thank you!
Love these (non-magnetic) walls and connectors
Those darn magnets! Thank you!
Very cool. Looks a bit cumbersome to move the minis around with the tops of the walls tilting inwards, but it definitely gives it a better look for Sci-Fi. Well done!
Thank you! It is a little tight, but I made them wider than needed to attempt to overcome them cumbersome aspect of moving figures.
Star Wars Legion players could use these to replicate a Polis Massa board from the 2005 Battlefront 2.
Nice! I had no idea. That's really awesome. Thank you!
Any recommendation for a alternative for the frames for someone without a 3D printer?
Absolutely! Sketch out a shape you like for the wall panels and make a nlbasic template. Use that template to transfer the shape to cardboard, card stock, foam core, or whatever material you want to use. Then start cutting. You can add details like small circles from a paper whole punch or small beads to give it some texture. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 Ah good idea, can't wait to try
10/10 Perfect for boarding action game👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
They look really cool!!! Definitely versatile. 😊
Thank you! I was definitely looking for usability.
@@adventuresincrafting2022 you are welcome ☺️
Really neat workflow
Thank you very much!
Looks awesome.
I'm glad you liked it!
are thre files for the printed parts?
Yes there are. I'm going to set it up so they are available through my patreon. I should have that done in the next week or so.
These came out great. I'd definitely use them for my Alien and Star Wars games.
Nice! I could definitely see xenomorphs obliterating some marines in these corridors!
Really cool. I subscribed to your Patreon hoping to get a copy of the files. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much! I think I need to setup a drop box account. That seems to be the easiest way so you all can get the stls.
@@adventuresincrafting2022Thank you!
It is a shame I am a travelling GM, and cant build things like this, becous it would be a nightmare to carry it around! Nice build as always. Comment for the Comment God, Like for the algorythm throne!
I can imagine how hard that would be traveling and toting all that terrain. No thank you to that. Thank you for your sacrifice to the youtube elders!.
@@adventuresincrafting2022 It is not easy, you need to keep the pipes and gribleys to the minimum, you need to keep in mind the terrain's lenght and hight, since I try to keep them in shueboes while I carry them to the bar we are usualy play!
That is definitely a chore to keep all that in mind. However, playing at a bar? That definitely sounds great! Jealous!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 We are useing a hobby place what is also a Warhammer themed bar/pub. With (mostly)Warhammer (and DnD) themed coctails and decor!😅
That is truly epic!
I found your rings to be very distracting. That’s a lot of rings.
Ha! That is the first I've had anyone say anything about my rings.
Looks really good! Well done. Instant fan :P
Thank you so much!
The corridors look good. These particular slanted walls read more Farscape or Andromeda to me than Star Trek. Although the "Enterprise" of the show with the same name had more deck grating than the more futuristic models of the original series and Next Generation. I like how all of your projects fall into a generic sci-fi setting. And I could see these corridors going well with your habitation pods to form a barracks.
I love Farscape! Andromeda was pretty fun as well. Yes, these are definitely more Enterprise than generic Star Trek, other than the ubiquitous angled walls. I was thinking the sesthetic. Regwrding my hab build.. Precisely why I wanted to keep the asthetic. Thank you!
WOW, Fantastic!!! The only change I would have made is reduce the height of the top chipboard piece by about an inch, just to allow my fat hands to reach the models.
Oh yes. You aren't the first to say something like that. It was definitely a consideration. Ultimately, I chose the taller walls to match the esthetic of some of my other pieces. However, I would likely make shorter walls if I was making a ton of these. Would be easier for game play and save me some materials as well.
Looking great there! There's nothing that screams sci-fi like slanted walls and uncovered support structures. <3
Exactly! Thank you!
This looks great! I think I'd make some where the wall stops just above the first angle part. That way it'd be easier to see inside from all across the table.
I definitely considered that. After looking at a bunch of references photos of pre-made terrain I found their walls were taller, but I agree. It would also make the figures easier to access and move.
@@adventuresincrafting2022 I can totally see either style being the right choice. For war games yours would be ideal, as line of sight would not be left up to the imagination. I think half height walls are popular with RPGs.
love your vids but turn off the music or turn your mic up!
Great advice and thank you!
Looks great! I can imagine some pretty intense firefights in such tight spaces! Lots of story opportunities there, for sure.
Yes indeed! I was thinking the same thing. I can see a running firefight as a team tries to escape after completing some mission.
These would be the great start of a Space Hulk board, too!
You are absolutely correct! Thank you. It was definitely something I thought would work for that, I'm just not that familiar Space Hulk so I didn't mention it.
Oh *heck* yes, this is perfect timing. A friend and I are running a Dark Heresy campaign for the gang and I've been looking for some inspiration to make some terrain!
That's great! I'm glad the timing worked out for this. Have a great adventure!
Where did you find those decal print off sheet
I actually ordered the sheets from Amazon and found images I liked online. I have found that many office supply and hobby stores, like Michael's and Hobby Lobby, carry them too.
👌👌👌
Thank you!
Nice work. Love algae water. 👍
Ha! Algae water indeed and thank you!
Super nice work. Love the light fixture. The sewer work is excellent. The lighting is perfect. Nice work!
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
Short and sweet, very nice
Thank you!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 whoops, fixed a typo!
Ha! I was curious about the sorry.
Another great, quick build! The colors on the black are really striking and fun, and the drybrush with the metal on those hazard stripes really added a lot to the worn down feel.
I am very happy you liked it! I wanted to do something different with color for a change.
Love the design and colors 😊😊😊
Thank you very much!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 you are welcome 🤗
Just found your channel, looking for tips on making sci-fi corridor terrain for my Five Parsecs Salvage missions. Great stuff, informative and fantastic results. Couple that with an easy going and chill vocal, you got yourself a regular.
Thank you so much! I was just going to make some sci-fi corridors for my next video.
Nice and simple. Looks good.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
If you make stencils out of card stock spray the stencil with gloss acrylic sealer. I do 3 light coats. Also keep in mind you can get stencil plastic at the craft store, it's super cheap and you can re use it many times. The down side is that it tends to be in 8.5 x 11 or smaller sizes.
That is a great tip! I will have to keep that in mind! Thank you.
I like the multi-colored hex grid. And the hazard striped sections look like good starting areas. With the bright colors on the board I might try brightly colored scatter terrain.
Tha k you and that is a great suggestion. Maybe I need to make some neon scatter terrain. Another good excuse to practice my air brush skills. (Which definitely needs work.)
Love the design!!! It makes me wanna build some tech concepts, for sure! Haha! Awesome job!!!
Thank you so much! I'd love to see what you come up with!
I love the colors and texturing. Very Star Trek TMO, and reminiscent of V'ger 's lair at the end.
Thank you! I must have pulled that from deep in my brain. Huge Star Trek nerd.
@@adventuresincrafting2022 hey, in this line of hobbying and as a creator, that stuff helps.
This looks great!! Frontier kind of feel, and your design is awesome.
Thank you so much! I was definitely going for a "distant colony " feel.
I make my sci-fi tiles from cardboard. I use regular old amazon boxes cut into squares and then glue down cereal box/frozen pizza box cardboard with rubber cement. The trick is cutting the thinner cardboard with a sliding track paper cutter to make hard angled panels in futursitic shapes and glueing the panels closely together which gives you the detailed recesses. After you can rivet until your hearts content with a pin vise. Paint and its instant sci fi panel.
That is an awesome suggestion! Thank you!
The blue cutters for the wood sticks, what are those?
Those are nippers/side cutters that came with one of my 3d printers.
