2.5 Quick and Easy Miniature Wargaming Terrain Projects - Plus a Sweet Lamp!

In this weeks wargaming terrain tutorial, I go over 2 really simple projects using mostly scraps and odds and ends from other projects. I do end up finding an unfinished piece that I throw into the mix as well, so you also get to see that one come together with all the details.
These wargaming terrain pieces are crafted with cereal box cardboard, scrap foam board, and a few other easy to get materials. Hopefully, you'll find some of these techniques useful in reproducing these builds, or adding to your own terrain projects.
Thanks to BenQ to supplying and letting me share the Desk Lamp with you all. It's a great addition to the hobby desk. Details are below.

Hey, nice builds has always ! Just wanted to point out a cheap alternative for barbed wire, you can get som security wires for like 15 pounds per 100m, there are many types but some are exactly the same thing than these army painter little wire, have bought one a year ago and still has not gone through even a quarter of it, using it for basing and very numerous trench/ww1 terrain projects

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks Ezechiel, I have heard that the security wire is a perfect replacement for the Army Painter wire, and much better value as you say. I plan to go that way eventually, but it turns out a little bit goes a long way and I'm still working my way through this AP stuff haha. But thanks for pointing this out, I'll pin this comment so others can hopefully see this suggestion. Cheers mate.

Brother, thank you for your video and good information. My ancestors mostly came from the UK and it was refreshing seeing your British sense of humor as a complement to being a highly quality craftsman. It's almost like the core values of pragmatism, stoicism, appreciation for competency, and frank sense of humor are similar to the remnants of the decaying rebel colonies, just more mature. KUDOS

[@opin74creative]

That 45 degree cutting tool is genius!!

[@RFDHobby]

Thank you very much!

[@messaroundhandleit]

Crazy that lamp is more expensive than their monitors. Very nice looking lamp, and looks useful for hobbying more so then anything else.

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks Eric, yeah, it's a really good lamp, but the price makes this a bit of an investment lol.

[@Roadkill663]

"Don't forget to subscribe" yeah, we'll see. Shows 45° cutter *subscribed*

[@RFDHobby]

haha, thanks mate. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

bloody amazing mate! keep up the inspiring content

Thanks for watching and commenting Johan. Take care and all the best mate!

Great ideas to get the most from your scraps!

Awesome! He's back!

[@RFDHobby]

haha, thanks mate. Good to be back.

[@pitotony1496]

I've discover your channel 2 weeks ago and to be honest that s my favorite one 👍👍. I like everything's you do. You're a real teacher for me.

[@RFDHobby]

Thank you so much mate. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, I'm happy to help in any way I can.

[@lyndilou6314]

Fantastic build with stuff everyone should have laying around. Hope your recovery is still going well. I totally get where you are coming from with it all now as I had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and yeah, everything is so daunting. Watching your videos helps. Thanks.

[@RFDHobby]

Thank you. Wow, I hope you are feeling ok. It's a bit of a shock both mentally and physically when it all goes down, but you should be able to find a few support services and cardiac rehab facilities that should be able to help you recover as quickly as possible. My advice is to take it easy, I can tell you from experience its not hard to over do it and end up hurting yourself and being out of action for a few weeks. Take care and all the best.

[@lyndilou6314]

@@RFDHobby thank you 😊 I'm in Melbourne so luckily have access to rehab and other services which I am taking advantage of. I'm not used to taking it easy being a stay-at-home mum of 3. But yeah, mentally and emotionally it has been more challenging than the physical aspects of it. But I'm getting there, thank you 😊

[@echodelta2426]

Great build. Love the detail of rebar and torn posters along with the debris and grass tufts on the bases.

[@RFDHobby]

Glad you like it. Adding those details is probably my favorite part of the whole process. Having a few extra bits left over from other builds, like the pallets and the drums, really helps to mix things up for what would otherwise just be rocks and bits of timber scattered around. So it's really worth making extra of those little details for future builds. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.

[@SleepyDragonArts]

These turned out great!! You should do a tutorial in how to stock a bits box.❤️

[@RFDHobby]

Thank you very much. Great suggestion as well, I might see if I can do a quick run through of my bits box and how I keep it stocked. Cheers.

[@bruce7630]

those look awesome!

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks Bruce!

[@Rider-pv6yd]

Badass! Good work as always

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks. I appreciate it. Cheers mate.

[@onkelgroen]

Great little builds. And that bit of rebar added to the concrete barriers makes a big difference! A little surprised how much it did. 😀

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks, yeah sometimes those little things make a surprisingly big impact on the overall look. Cheers!

[@ИванМытник-ч7ф]

It is great!!!

[@RFDHobby]

Thank you so much!

[@manuelcolazo6752]

Would you do some tutorials for infinity terrain??

[@RFDHobby]

That does look like a really cool setting, I'll look into it some more and see what I might be able to do. Thanks for the comment mate.

[@johnkelley9877]

It is great to see another tutorial from you. This was very interesting and quite helpful and I learned a lot from you on making terrain. Thanks for sharing this.

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks John, glad it was helpful mate. Let me know if you ever have any questions or suggestions for the channel. Take care and all the best.

[@horusofoz]

Thanks for sharing. How did you make the 45 degree cutting tool?

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks for the comment mate. I hope this helps with the 45 degree cutting tool... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5y3lKGbfKmGpZI if you have anymore questions about it, fire away. Cheers.

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Looking good mate 👍...and really easy 😉

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks mate. Yeah, sometimes I just need to make some quick projects to kick my brain into gear and get out of my funk. Plus I like these because it's pretty much 10% build, 90% making it look cool.

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Nice work as always. The basing and especially the mix of tufts really ties them all together. Cheers!

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment!

[@Andrew-px4on]

Welcome back man!

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks Andrew.

[@JCetto.2612]

Hey Shawn! Good to see you again! Damn KZbin is not sending me the notification of your videos... But this is an awesome build! Cheers mate! Good vibes!

[@RFDHobby]

Good to see you again mate! Sorry about the notifications, not sure what KZbin does, I'm at their mercy haha. Thanks for watching and comment man.

[@chasonlapointe]

Great video, the terrain has just the right amount of grunge to it! That is a nice lamp but not 230.00 nice.

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks mate. I have to agree, at that price it's just too risky a purchase without knowing it's going to be a decent lamp, and even now I know now that's it is a really good lamp, unless I was rolling in cash, I just couldn't see myself jumping on this one either. It's a real shame, because this is a really good lamp. Thanks for the comment man

[@timothyyoung2962]

Hey man, nice to see a tutorial from you again! Great build. I love making scatter terrain out of scraps. Sometimes I'll just challenge myself to make as much as I can just out of junk I have lying around and leftovers from previous builds. Waste not, want not.

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks Timothy, I agree, these quick builds are so fun for me, plus I get to justify having saved all those little off cuts of everything haha. Cheers mate.

[@kingreem1741]

Excellent as usual, I see you're a sim racer. What sims you play?

[@RFDHobby]

Thanks mate. I tend to fade in and out of sim racing lately, I still get on and race here and there, but these days I'm just racing Assetto Corsa Competizione. I was big in iRacing for a while there, and really enjoyed it, but it's a subscription based setup, so it had to go lol. Do you race as well?

[@kingreem1741]

@@RFDHobby yeah, gran turismo, f1, and acc. Playstation though

[@RFDHobby]

@@kingreem1741 oh I gave Gran tourismo a go for about 6 months last year, I actually really enjoyed it, I suck too much at F1 to really race online though :)

Would double sub if it was possible for ‘F**ks Given’ diagram

[@RFDHobby]

haha, thank you mate. I don't know why, but channels complaining about their youtube stats and wanting me to 'help the algorithm' just piss me off. Nothing wrong with asking for a sub, but seriously GTFO with the stats and charts haha. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.
