If you want masking fluid for chipping effects, cardboard tubes, mod podge, chipboard or any other materials i used check the description box for affiliate links! Thanks for watching everyone!

[@DaveDeBaeremaeker]

Thanks for the links. When I watched this video I decided I needed to give the chipping fluid a try, but my amazon search failed me. Link brought me right to the listing, and its now on its way.

[@corneliusperkins7363]

What are you using for the paper tape? Is that the water activated stuff? Got a recommended brand/type?

[@Spawnico80]

You are the number 1!!!!

[@reeswall4344]

Eric shouldn't be down on himself, his terrain is some of the best terrain out there and with very informative videos. No ones terrain is perfect, its a subjective art form. I personally think Eric makes some of the best industrial homemade terrain out there

[@azraelus1]

Yup, and the medieval stuff's really good too. I'm really enjoying the crafting using more accessible materials, that's how I prefer to craft too, using random household objects where possible.

[@shahinaryan-taasheedaar4516]

I like the way eric explains each step.. good work.

[@frocat5163]

Spot on. I've been playing tabletop wargames for 30 years, and Eric's terrain is some of the best I've seen outside of some of the high-end commercially produced stuff. His tutorials are also some of the best I've watched. Fantastic.

[@justinbyron8597]

Since ive found Eric's videos. I have started crafting myself. I love his videos. An I do plan on joining his patreon. An I also agree with a few others here. My friend, you do great work. I love your builds. Your videos are so helpful. Please do take care. And try not too let yourself be over whelmed. I'm sure you'll do great like always.

The build looks great Eric! I think that you're absolutely right, don't beat yourself up if something doesn't turn out perfectly. "It's okay to screw up" is true, because not only is that how we learn, but it's also not necessary for everything to be perfect, showpiece work all the time. Especially when you're trying new techniques, things don't always work out the first time, but if we didn't try new things, we'd never learn how to do them the right way at all.

[@willgeier1747]

They look super realistic! I see these all the time at big factories and they’re spot on!

[@BillySidness]

Excellent video as always Eric!! Your mild rant made me laugh my ass off too, great job all round :)

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Haha im glad ! Thanks billy

[@millroyminiatures3622]

I love watching any terrain videos on youtube. But your 40k terrain is the best on the internet in my opinion.

[@dmmomma]

Oh My GOODNESS Eric!! I know I don't expect you to be a Master Builder but man, you are! You've designed some very cool stuff before and this is no acception! The PVC, the pipes (straws), the way it all connects! Amazing! Really great work! You are being way too hard on yourself. And, anyone who would comment negatively is someone you wouldn't be friends with so don't LISTEN TO THEM! Okay, I'm done with MY rant. BTW, it's okay to screw up!!!

[@polo7155]

I can't count the times I've screwed up making terrain, but at the same time I've learned a lot and had fun...Still learning at nearly 64 and still scratch building and enjoying it even more! Keep up the great work you're doing Eric, your videos are really inspiring

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

The messages you send out to people are amazingly positive man, its genuinely awesome to see all the supportive comments you've had in response :)

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Awesome as always, I know what you mean about self criticism, Im working on an Ork bunker at the moment and over half way complete but not happy with it at all and no longer enjoying building it. Best thing for me is to move on and start again and leave it in the past as a mistake to learn by. Crafting is meant to be fun, when its not, stop, think about what makes you happy then start again. Love ya channel keep up the awesome work =)

[@johnkelley9877]

I have done a lot of scratchbuilding and I can honestly say that no matter how well I planned it I still had to remake a component from 1 to 3 times before I got it right. But I always learned from the experience. This was a great tutorial and the whole thing looks fantastic. I always enjoy and learn from your channel.

[@jasonfeagans3456]

Sometimes the fun comes from fixing the mistake. That's a challenge all in itself. So gratifying.

[@devileanblack]

Dude, it's alright to mess up sometimes. What you do is show your techniques and inspire. Personally i've never done any build exactly like i watched. I change some to my personal liking or what material i have at that moment. But it is all thanks to crafting channels like you that i was inspired.

[@kraven0675]

Little did Eric know that this was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks man.

[@Ye11ofrog]

I just found you a couple days ago with a video you put out months ago. That little rant made me laugh, I cant imagine anyone being over-critical with your stuff. It looks great and I love your process. Great music btw.

[@PeterIsATeacher]

yo your reminder at 14:00 was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you Eric. YOU'RE killing it indeed!

Don't listen to the haters Eric your stuff is great

[@Dovahgiinge]

"it's okay to screw up" - Eric to himself on the verge of tears phenomenal video as always mate. you're definitely the biggest reason I'm giving industrial terrain rather than just nature stuff a go.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Lol dude i wasnt on the verge of tears

[@Dovahgiinge]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop lol i know fella, you just looked a little wound up there ;)

[@lostviking5692]

I'm sure plenty of people have said it but we love you and your work. It doesn't have to be perfect cuz odds are we wont make it perfect even if you showed us how. I get so much enjoyment from you and your work. Keep it up and dont listen to the haters.

[@malkavC]

The process is the most important part - it doesn't really matter what the end result looks like so long as you have learned something along the way. I'm a structural technician, so I know first hand that it's near impossible to plan out a full build without issues arising, it's these problems and solving them that end up teaching you the most and improving your overall skill and ability to plan with greater accuracy in the future. Have a sub, good video.

[@EternalQuestion]

I'm an architect and I agree 100% with what you've said. No matter how good your plans, there is always going to be something that doesn't go the way you expected. Part of the skill of being a good architect, engineer or technician is being able to improvise and problem solve in those kind of situations, so that you still end up with a good result. And at the end of the day, what really matters is the end result. A building can stand for 100 years or more, and most people who see it will never know anything of the difficulties and struggles involved in the construction. All they see is the end product. It's the same with a terrain piece. And I'm sure anyone that sees any of Erik's builds would consider him to be a top notch terrain builder. It doesn't matter if a pipe didn't fit the way he originally planned, or he didn't paint it right the first time. If the end result is a fantastic model, then the process is sound as far as I'm concerned!

[@hyperbene7711]

Killer industrial pipes with bonus inspirational rants; what more could anyone want? Great video!

[@3lth]

I love the warts and all process Eric. It's great that you can show us where you failed and what you learned from the process. IMO that is part of the charm of your channel.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Bdub

[@kurogiza]

I feel like the life advice in this video is as at least as good as the crafting advice, which is top notch since the build looks damn fine.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Chris

[@scottmills4164]

Just a comment on your midway rant. I really love how casual you do things, it reminds me of the chef at home, if you're familiar with that. Chef Micheal Smith. He is the guy that inspired me to cook. It was his casual take on having no recipe and have fun and experiment. Also with simple ingredients. You sir are the terrain version of that. Simple, fun, and we all learn together. Don't change.

[@BFMBomb]

That little motivational message toward the end of the video was awesome. I felt that in my soul. Thanks, Eric.

Failure is a lesson, it's a necessary part of the process. Keep up the good work

I came to watch some terrain building, some anakin-sand joke, but i got a "Don't bully yourself" and "It's ok to screw up" message... I have to say, thank you for that, Eric, this video was inspirational on a personal level!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thank you! I appreciate that. Im glad you related to it

[@darrenmcgovern4719]

Good man honesty showing mistakes helps all of us makes things more relatable to know same problems happen to everyone

[@metajock]

Showing errors and working thru them makes for better videos. Shows us not only the learning process, but also shows us why **not** to do some things some ways. Good work, keep it up.

[@gabrieltsgardner9942]

Grimey, Industrial scenery is by far my favourite kind to include on a board - probably because that was the setting of the first battle report I read in a White Dwarf (2005 Tyranids vs Ork Kill team, check it out) - and this is a great tutorial to recreate that worn, gritty look I want to go for Excellent terrain and video, subscribed.

[@Nevets1073]

The best hobby channels are the ones that acknowledge when a mishap or mistake happens. It's incredibly important to give yourself permission to not be perfect. This is one of of those channels, Eric. I'm really, really glad I found this channel, it's inspired me to be more excited about terrain and you have a very positive and kind presence in your videos that lends itself to creating an inclusive environment.

[@Karadek]

Love the message this time. It. Is. Okay. To. Screw. Up. Very important message and reminder to all of us. Love the product you turn out.

I really enjoy the aesthetic of your industrial terrain. and don't worry about the pipe not fitting thru the I beam frame. That happens in the real world too, we just cut the circle out of the beam :) Thanks for another great video.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

Eric, I love those little yet so important messages interspersed throughout the build. Really helps, mate. Thank you!

[@seanmeadows129]

A great video! Inspiring and informative. I also appreciate your honesty regarding getting things wrong, we all do and its nothing to be ashamed of, that's how we all learn, by making mistakes and figuring out how to do it right. An excellent job, well done!

[@rubencoronado7125]

your explanation on how you don't know everything... was really important for me to hear. I'm always beating myself up on obliging myself to know everything perfectly before i feel like i can talk about it or teach it... thank you for your "mild rant"

[@Glamour_Smashed_Face]

"It warms the cockles" is the quote of the day

[@Chimer24-qs5wo]

Wow, back three years to watch this one and there's Eric, still beating himself up and never satisfied. That's what makes your builds, and your channel, so watchable. No BS, just crafting with mistakes and failures, which keeps everything real. Thank you Eric and may you never stop showing us all how it really is. Every slight misbuild you've made is a big help to us mere humans 😂👍 )O(

[@Tinkering4Time]

13:04 A similar chipped-paint trick I have seen is people using salt on miniatures while a rust-colored patch of paint was still tacky, then painting over it, then knocking off the salt when the paint job was done to reveal the rust. Iirc it was in the Cry Havoc magazine for Warmachine/Hordes from Privateer Press.

[@The_Captain40k]

I'd love to see a video where you put everything you've made together, you could make a huge battlefield out of all of this!

[@stevenwestfall7638]

Screwing up can lead to discovering a new way of doing something or coming up with a really cool effect. I look forward to every new video you put out Eric. You are one of the most creative terrain makers on youtube and have greatly inspired me.

[@iamgrays]

Eric loving the chatting style that goes along with this build. Great work.

[@batjutsu]

Cool build, thanks for sharing, plus sharing the mistakes; ones we are likely to make ourselves. Great end result 😃

Your work is some of the best around, and your videos are the best combination of educational, entertainment, and inspiration for me. One of the best craftsmen around Eric, thanks again for all your work! Exact, or perfect is almost non-existent in the 40k verse anyhow!

[@hoodedman1046]

I really appreciate you saying that we can be bully to ourselves. Ive been having problems in my life of self perfectionism or make a mistake and scold myself. It helps me out Im not alone with this problem also even with scratch building. Thank you for your inspiring words. :)

[@AllTheStarsWereRed]

Thank you not only for the awesome crafting ideas/methods but also the honesty and encouragement!

[@bandvcreations5955]

[@travislewis1676]

Hey brother just wanted to say to you little section of "it's okay to screw up" life advice and "bullying yourself" was fuckin awesome and that was the icy on the cake for me and I had to subscribe! Such a legit dude and you deserve all the success that you and your wife find. 😎🤙

[@dwhutto]

Showing us the process blemishes and all is incredibly brave. It's also invaluable to me, as someone who has just started getting into the terrain side of the hobby.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Daniel but i don’t think its particularly brave to share. Running into a burning building is brave! Im just being open about something i felt i needed to say.

[@nocturne777]

I started making terrain because of you, Black Magic Craft, and Dark Matter Workshop. And I found that I really, really enjoy it. So thanks for that. My gaming tables look that much better because of what you all do every video for us, and soon I want to try making my own playmats. I'd be interested to see your take on those.

[@marko243]

Really inspirational work! For me the main thing in a tutorial is to show you ways to start and then point directions to help you think outside the box. It really comes down to that, not specific measurments. I get Eric's point of view that pushing ones self is a way to improvement, but don't go overboard and do injustice to yourself cause you are taking away all the fun in the proccess, bow and future. Carry on!

[@procrastinationoctopus3233]

It always amazes me how good you make the cardboard girders look!

The kraft tape - bloody inspired! Thats exactly what I needed, been mucking about with gluing on card or paper/mod podge but the tape is the way forward. I think crafters as a group tend to be hardest on ourselves and you are correct, we need to lighten up a bit. No mistakes = no learning/growth. Awesome build as always.

Erics wife is an aluminium foil roll cardboard inside, you know it! Top vids man keep them coming.

[@Wildonion1]

What I really like about this video is that, much like on Black Magic Craft, you put yourself out their and invite us along with your build. We are never promised perfection, but we are promised a chance to observe, learn, and possibly even to revise or innovate. Your video inspires and makes all of this so much more approachable, showing that we can make awesome terrain too. So thank you for taking that chance and letting us see your successes and your struggles as a guide!

I really enjoy your builds and explanations of your processes. Appreciate your noting your mistakes and the fact that they are a part of your (and any creative persons) process. You’ve built and painted more terrain in a year than I have in 25. You’re doing great and inspiring “Sideline Sams” like me to purchase some supplies and build something instead of just buying kits and watching videos. Many thanks.

Coming back to leave a comment. I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I always enjoy your updates. Your stuff is quality and you have a good sense of pace and you are clearly a hard worker. I appreciate that you take the time to do this kind of stuff because I used to only use it for entertainment, but you've actually inspired me to make some stuff for a board. I love the still shots at the end of this video, I've taken some screenshots for reference material.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Dave! Glad you like the end of the video shots. Those are always fun to do

My friends and I are making modular terrain for Cyberpunk 2020, not all of us have jobs. We have one on MDF kits, all 3 on minis...but as GM I'd like to be able to throw in some surprise pieces. So, thank you Eric! You've just shown me a literal and constructive embodiment of "style over substance." Cheap materials, good informative process tutorial...you may have just solved my Landing Pad design detail problem...what more could I want? Instant sub. Where has this channel been!?! I could have made an Industrial Park during this lockdown! Found you now, and very happy to have done so. Great looking end product: perfection is not an option for me. Nor is it the goal. The goal is a dystopian nightmare...and so is my crafting space. I'm half way there. XD

Feel that brother! I always see all the mistakes I make, other people usually don't, but like you, I'm usually doing something for the first time from an idea I had or something I've seen online, and its a learning process.

[@Kennythesamuri]

Great job, the light color pipes are really neat looking with the dark weathering

[@andrewbeasley]

Worked well - I like the rust. Thanks for showing the latex - I'd seen salt / hairspray but not the chipping fluid. The leg supports (fins) are called buttresses (buttress being singular) by the way. Best thing I found for rivets are sticky gems designed for crafting - they go down to about 1mm and suit 40K sized figures fine. They are normally sold on cards (with nice patterns made out of them) ready glued. I add them before painting to help them stick but TBH I've never needed extra glue. Keep up the great work
