Pretty cool build, i like the idea of clading the foam core with zip ties for some easy detailing If i may suggest, i feel this build would have been an ideal project to try the hairspray technique or the salt chipping one and maybe dip your toes in oil weathering. I would like to see you tackle the latter especially. Keep up the good work! Praise be to the holiest of holies for in our times of need it haveth stuff! Amen

[@mszczesnik]

That brings some memories :). When I was a teenager (some 25 years ago), I couldn't afford minis and terrain. We were playing Warzone with my friends back then. We were building our terrain from empty yogurt boxes, styrofoam, sand, moss and various scraps found in garages and sheds. We were even able to create our own minis by kitbashing cheap Chinese plastic toy soldiers, aircraft and tank model kits, polymer clay (that colorful kind for kids), paper, old toys, and so on. I actually think that years of such kitbashing and also creating own rule books for our minis made me a game designer :).

[@batman9592]

Drinking straws are easy to connect when you know how. Make a "V" shape in the straw with your finger/ nail. Fold it in on itself along the "V". Now insert into another straw. It will push fit just fine. The "V" has made the diameter smaller therefore it fits into the same straw size.

[@vonries]

And if there is any imperfection at the joint where you can see the joint dimple (where you forgot to hide it on a non- visible side. Fill any hole with ca glue and baking powder. You might even be able to drill a hole in the center and make it look like a flange(a fitting for joining two pieces of large diameter pipe).

I really like this build. I think the fact it's a first time and not perfect adds to the aged look. And being a painter myself, the mantra "its just paint, if you don't like it paint it again" has always served me well.

[@dyrckhughes2463]

I love seeing you branch out into different styles. As you have said, it takes you out of you comfort zone and shows us how you adapt to what you want to make. It also shows that any and all of the videos that have gone before can apply to any genre or style. Thanks for another great production.

[@neglectfulsausage7689]

If you want more realistic fuel tanks, look at train cars. Tanks are round because sharp corners and inverted sides create fatigue joints that fail easily. I'd recommend cutting some kind of cap off a water bottle to make a funnel shape, saw off the drinking spout, then smooth that over with some kind of fill. Or do the aluminum substructure for clay modeling thing and make a ball of aluminum as a foundation for layering something else on to make the round ends.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

[@neglectfulsausage7689]

Btw, I used to play with straws when I was small. What you want to do is try to crease one's end and bend it in itself, then you can shove it inside the opening of another straw and make a join that way. 3x deep to the circumference is probably the minimum for good rigidity. You can probably do this with epoxy or low heat hot glue gun to bond them. Try to make a (V) shape out of one end of your straw.

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Posted on the Patreon board, but will post here again, awesome build! I love how builds just completely transform from "straws, a can, bits o' junk" to awesomeness after even just the primer hits it!

I'm absolutely trying this out one day if I have any modern/industrial/steampunk campaigns. as a high school student I don't have as many resources and finances to support this hobby, but I absolutely love everything I make. for the most part. I mean, there's things to be improved. currently working on a tower with a removable wall made out of a big Lidl chips party bucket. I have two of those and I'm considering adding a removable bridge that could connect them.

Great episode Jeremy, A superb depiction of making 3D Art out of sack cloth. Couple things: When using an expansion foam to fill cans use a SLO-BLO. Any brand will do. Fill the container half to three-quarters with the SLO-BLO and wait...and wait...and...you get the picture. The SLO-BLO's properties are such to expand slow and stiff while not blowing out the sides. Decades ago I used a can to build a COG Railway Loco. Just a scenery siding piece. It quickly buckled and became a wrecked Cog Railway Loco. Back in the 2000's I found SLO-BLO to insulate existing windows in our home. With a spot in one can and an entirely full can I decided to waste the foam. I made rocks, hills, and with the last drop I shot it into the boiler of the Cog and before my eye the dings, dents, and puckers straightened out. Give it a shot. As for your "Holiest of Holies" when my kids were young I would take them to Habitat for Humanity builds over the weekend. After they put in a full days labor we would go to a junk food joint for a nouch. When leaving the kid's always tried, for naught, to keep me from going to what they called "OH NO, NOT Daddy's toy store." Home Depot. AH! Ya' gotta love kids. Homicide is a crime. ~Jim

I have also used cardboard tubes bridged together to make a twin tower gatehouse. The sliding portcullis was made from the stiff embroidery netting set with PVA and strengthened with strips of balsa.

[@markharrison3445]

Just a suggestion for filling in the top of the can with the pull tab. Instead of foam core maybe use matboard which comes in 2, 4, 6 and 8 ply. Th 4 ply would probably work best. You can always layer different plys to get what you need. You need so little that if you go to a picture framing shop I bet they would just give you scraps from the trash that would work. I used to own such a business and I was always giving away scraps for other uses. Better than going in the trash!

[@vinnyboombots8270]

Just a note on the mesh dry wall tape. I'm a contractor and I use it every time I do a drywall job. It's much better than paper tape because it is faster and it sticks to the drywall eliminating the process of loading the seam with mud and then putting tape on it then squeezing out all the excess to make it smooth along the seams, when all you do is stick it and apply your first of 3 coats of mud. It saves alot of time. However, it does not work on inside or outside corners. You still have to use paper tape on inside and corner bead on outside.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

So here’s the thing. I was a residential renovation contractor/carpenter for over 10 years and taped thousands of feet of drywall. I specialized in high end renovations, $600k kitchens and $100k + bathrooms. I was a certified master renovator and won several provincial gold awards for my projects. After that I was the construction manager for an international award winning design + build firm. It was, and still is, my professional opinion that mesh tape is an inferior product. It was not allowed on my job sites and I would fire any taper using it anywhere other than behind kitchen cabinets. I don’t like call backs for warranty work and I want seams that last over 20 years. Paper tape is the way to ensure that. Faster does not equal better. Edit: mesh has one professional use, and that’s plaster repair. But never for drywall seams.

Expanding foam works great to fill aluminum cans. It also comes with the added bonus that if you have (or make) a small pin hole in the can you can get some really neat smoke plume effects as though tank had ruptured.
