Everytime I open a package I have to save it.. lol. I usually end up using it. I have been looking for corrugated paper but cannot find it and I know I can use cardboard but it's difficult to scrape,cut away top layer to get to it. I guess I'll have to get some aluminum sheets from hobby lobby and make some grooves and make my own

[@jackwoods7275]

You should make a similar shantytown build, but make it a market. Stuff like pawn shops, rouge docs, gun shops street food and bars all stacked on top of each other

[@saucercrabzero]

Yes!

[@aegrisomnia]

This right here is Necromunda to me. Thank you for this spectacular piece. I love the caotic nature of buildings and walkways that give this "grown over time" astetic. I spent the last month building something very similar but got stuck in some weird kind of decision paralysis. This just really inspired me to finally finsh my build. Greetings from switzerland, looking forward to more of your projects.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Decision paralysis is too real!!! Just glue it together and rip it apart if you dont like it, thats my policy :)

[@serelcendel]

nice to see someone else from switzerland here in these sections. i live too far away from the big cities and barely have ppl to play with :(

[@nickharvey7233]

Fantastic work. I've said it before, but it's your sense of artistic proportion and structural balance for an overall piece that really elevate them into the crafting stratosphere.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks! Thats a really nice complement!

[@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter]

Nicely done, Eric. You have a brave freeform style of creating shapes that feel right to you on the fly.

I had to comment after watching this the other day as it's been rolling around in my head. But this build is absolutely sick. I love it so much. The detail the colours the drabness in areas. The weathering and stairs and alleys. This looks amazing..well done! I can't wait to watch the rest of it come together.

[@ArdWulf]

You definitely have captured the essence of Necromunda with this creation, Vertical (!!!), slap-together-scrappy, gritty and grimey. "The juice" is definitely "worth the squeeze"!! Love that!! Cheers!

I built my own underhive kill team board last month and I can confirm about the gorilla glue caulk. Its so dope. Also thank you for the inspiration. I wouldnt had even thought about building any game terrain but your Fortress Monastery video and Tau station video really opened up my imagination on what to look for at dollar stores and the result is a rusty disgusting and awesome game board. Thanks Eric!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Great build Eric, it really captures that compressed and claustrophobic vibe that Necromunda is known for!

[@Dovahgiinge]

absolutely rad. the really grunge, compact underhive and industrial terrain you do is my favourite, I'm glad you've done so much of it.

[@fr4g728]

Its funny, that ive been looking for a build like this for the past week, not finding anything. Me and my girlfriend wanted to start necromunda soon, but we wanted some good terrain. This Video came at the perfect time! I really love your style! Keep up the good work :)

[@joaovictorbrazcosta7406]

Those colors looks so AWESOME! my favorite project so far!

Yo this is SO GOOD. I don't think I've ever seen terrain that depicts the underhive so well. All the little spaces really look like someone has settled in there.

[@Bluecho4]

I got some corrugated paper not too long ago, so I've been meaning to build some shanty town style terrain. This video was quite helpful in that regard. I especially like the bold use of colors. Even in the grim darkness of the far future, people love color.

[@mxkinist]

this is so dope. i think some small graffiti tags with a marker scattered along a few buildings would also fit the gang aesthetic.

A great looking project. Another source for corrugated metal is the insulating rings you use to hold your hot Starbucks coffee cups.

[@uriance88]

The granny grating, once you trimmed it down reminds me of the plastic 'baskets' that you used to get strawberries in at the grocery store . . . Other than the waterfall, everything you demonstrated is essentially modular and could be broken down and reconfigured for different games (and storage if height is an issue)

[@78dentedhead]

I think this might be my favorite build of yours. I particularly like the "verticality" of the build. It really sells the "hive" aspect of the piece. I may need to replicate this, but orkified for my planned "mek town" table, inspired by the descriptions in the old GorkaMorka game. Awesome piece, and great work as usual.

[@iamgrays]

Great work Eric. This is my favourite Necromunda build I've seen you do. You captured the look I have in mind at least!

[@SteveFamine]

Great work on the colors! love the height and playability

[@oldskooljules]

Love your work, and this one is especially good! I've seen many people make effort to cover up the spiral, but if it's a big metal pipe.. that's how they make them. A long piece of metal at a diagonal in a big helix, welded together along its edge, that makes the spiral pattern.

Wow, this is one wicked awesome piece of terrain! At first it didn't look all that tall, only a foot you said, but by the time you were done it would dominates any table. I don't play any tabletop games and yet this makes me want to build one of my own! 😲 Now that is some serious skills! It only needs some graffiti/gang tags and it would be utter perfection.

Pro Tip: Take pics of where you put masking or chipping fluid so you don't have to try and remember where you put it. In Canada those stairs are $23 ! Also, they are advertised as 3' long but the reviews say you only get one foot. The plastic tubing for the pipes and diamond plate also comes up as not available. Nice work though!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Well, since I filmed it, I could have gone back and checked the footage ...but ain't nobody got time for that :)

For stairs it might be worth giving some laser-cut MDF kits a try! Probably a lot better for your sanity than scratch-built stairs 😊
