Really liked the end results but I've found the whole tutorial too verbose. The creative bits of the videos are lost in too much commentary and time passed at looking at the texture of this box or that box. But anyway, great building you made!!

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to watch those longer videos on KZbin, those are the ones I prefer. I can understand though that I do go on way too much, its just that I'm literally filming what I'm doing as I do it, no script or plan... I could edit down, remove voice, make them shorter. Thanks

The finished product looks really good. It looks like it has been out in the weather for many years. There is barely any indication of what the original material was. It was always a power generator. It was sitting dormant until repaired to working order to power the once abandoned base.

Where are the metal minis in the video from? They look cool. Especially the guy at the end with the two guns, hat and trench coat.
@CaptainSkyhawkHobbiesАй бұрын
Yeah they are nice minis, the one with the hat is a Necromunda Bounty Hunter from the original range. The other is one of a gang of Ash Wastes Nomads that were only available as a mail order, advertised in the Necromunda Magazine. They may also have come from the earlier Confrontation game, by GW.

Another thing you may be able to use to firm up the structure is the expanding foam. Spray a but into it and let it cure and that should make it a lot less bendy.
@CaptainSkyhawkHobbiesАй бұрын
Yeah, sounds like a good idea. I've never used expanding foam, but seen it many times on YoutTube as a basis for hills and rocks. Wonder if the flimsy plastic would get bulged out by the foam though? Worth a try.
