[@DoctorCrankysLabRATory]

You've got me with the Popcorn ready for Part 2. Great tutorial. Keep it going.

[@WGConsortium]

Thanks Crank! Part two probably in a couple of days. Busy weekend this weekend to edit anymore :)

[@texastony1946]

Like this. You may want to try a heat gun for cutting the river channel.

[@WGConsortium]

Thanks for the tip Texas. I actually thought about it but I didn't have a heat gun and my blow dryer didn't do much too it. :/ So I just ended up doing it the hard way. haha

[@MrMumble__]

Really enjoyed the video. Great tips! Can't wait for part 2 :D Will be also be seeing a Part 2 for the Ruined City board?

[@WGConsortium]

Yup! Ruin City Part 2 is coming soon. There's a few changes to the original plans for it so I will be going through that and then hitting the table. At the same time, doing a craftworld board

[@lukevader6038]

Cool! Better than watching Strictly Come Dancing

[@WGConsortium]

Toxteth O'Grady Haha! Never heard of it before but thanks for watching

[@lukevader6038]

Strictly Come Dancing is on prime time weekend TV in the UK at the moment - it's basically celebrities paired with professional dancers - one celeb gets voted off each week. My wife was watching it at the same time I was watching your video. Your video (IMHO) was also more entertaining than the England vs Estonia football match (and I do quite like football)!

[@WGConsortium]

Toxteth O'Grady Thanks! AH! OK the show is called "Dancing with the Stars" here in the USA

[@PowderfanOverlord]

Can you share some info about your hot wire cutter used in this vid? I assume it is hotwire rather than a band/scroll saw. Either way what is it? and where can I get one? :) very interested in following this series and even my wife now seems interested in terrain building which is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@d.montoya607]

+PowderfanOverlord Yes very interested in teh table cutter. I love the size, that's perfect. I've never seen something that size before. DO WANT!

[@irongollem]

after breaking the shiny toplayer of these plates you can easily shape riverbeds etc. with a heatgun used for paint removal (maby hairdrier works too havent tried yet :P)

[@WGConsortium]

irongollem Thanks for the suggestion

[@irongollem]

You're welcome :)

[@40kAmateurHour]

US LIKEY!!!

[@WGConsortium]

40kAmateurHour We Thanky!

[@WargamerSpud]

Needz More SkuuulZZZ!

[@WGConsortium]

haha

[@tooncraft3d]

Anyone getting in on the Tilescape DUNGEONS Kickstarter for modular terrain?

[@mikestofmikes]

You mentioned having trouble finding the material in California. Is this the same material as the rigid insulation you pick up at Home Depot/Lowes? If available, you may want to check it out as it comes in 4ft x 8ft sheets for pretty cheap.

[@WGConsortium]

Mike Guy yeh but it's comes and goes. They do sell the 4x8 in 1/2inch I believe (around my area) but it's a pain in the but to get back home. Now they have them in 2x2 so it makes life very easy.

[@designatedTuber]

@Chung- You said that you were going to glue the foam down later to some board. I had bought some 1/4' hardboard and glued mine down but it seems to have warped as the glue (Titebond II Premium Wood Glue). I had the foam under 30lbs of weight spread over the entirety. What should I have done differently? Should the glue be watered down or what?

[@WGConsortium]

I don't. I just glue it as you said. What's warping? The foam or the boards?

[@designatedTuber]

The Wargamers Consortium I think it's the board as the foam doesn't really flex either way. It seems like the glue didn't "pull into the foam" and just hardened and expanded causing the board to push away a bit. It's not going anywhere, it just caught me by surprise. I'll probably just fill the gaps with spackle and sand it smooth. It's just going to be annoying when I have boards slid up next to each other. Once I get the other (at least) two done, I'll have to put them together and sand them all level.

[@WGConsortium]

Dan Bellinger Foam to foam it did do that to me in one of the sections and filled it with spackly on the ends. But if you watch my Ruined City video part 1, You'll see me gluing the foam to MDF boards and they worked fine. When you need to make sure is to spread the glue so no air is trapped in it. I think that might be the problem. What I don't show in the video when I put the pieces together when I just applied the glue was that I shifted the two pieces around to spread the glue. Maybe that's what you should try next time. Or just spread it out with a piece of cardboard. I think I do that out of habit cause I heard somewhere if air gets trapped the foam will bend when the glue dries, expends and pushed the air.

[@designatedTuber]

The Wargamers Consortium Thanks, I'll go check that video out now!

[@DistractionMan]

What brand is your hot wire scroll table? Where did you buy it? I've thought about building my own but your's looks too sweet.

[@WGConsortium]

Proxxon 37080 Hot Wire Cutter THERMOCUT :)

[@PowderfanOverlord]

The Wargamers Consortium Doh, just spotted this.

[@eharding40k]

Hello. What machine is used to cut the pink foam? Where can I buy one? Does it also cut wood sheets? Thank you.

[@WGConsortium]

Proxxon foam cutter. I got mine on amazon. It doesn't not cut wood sheets.

[@Detson404]

Nice work! What thickness of craft foam do you use?

[@WGConsortium]

James Stouffer 1"

[@Detson404]

The Wargamers Consortium Thanks!

[@brandonholmes6587]

You could of used expanding foam
