It's not just WH 40k that makes you into 'Poorhammer'. I play historical and have lately gotten into WW2 wargaming. The prices for vehicles and soldiers is ridiculous. I've gotten into building paper models for the vehicles and artillery units and doing some recast minis out of hot glue from homemade molds. That's a much more affordable way to do the game. Not as detailed but I don't care. It works for me and my budget and if someone else don't want to play well I don't care about playing any ninnies who want to be jerks anyway.

@@rwdyeriii I’ve taken to using smaller figures for WW2. Lots of benefits, smaller tanks are cheaper, more room to manoeuvre and it all looks much better. In 28mm, most rules have SMG that have less range than the length of a tank. Use the same rules with 15mm and everything looks a lot better. Also it takes far less storage space which means more toys.

Random tip if you need to use a glue or filler with a lot of water and you're worried about warping - put it on a desk or table, put something on top that you don't mind potentially getting messy, and put a hefty book on it. It's not ideal especially for a hill as it can cause the upper layers to press down into the base, but I've never been bothered by that, and at the very least you'll have a flat base regardless. The other option that I've used is to make all but the actual base first, fill it, then add the base when that's dry, and fill that separately. Less moisture, thus less warping, and the base is thicker and more sturdy so on its own it shouldn't warp noticeably.
@benward57324 жыл бұрын
Good job been doing this for years now and it works well! Just a note that you can keep one edge the same profile on each layer whilst making the others smaller so you get your steps on one, two or three sides depending what you want whilst having a face on the other. I also use smaller profiles under larger ones to get an undercut if you want and arches and caves are a doddle to do too. Cardboard something lock down has left me swimming in great for hills - I use epvc for basing personally although that is a cost - or for scatter pieces old CDs and DVDs that get donated from family and friends :D

Back in the 70s I gave tours of the architecture school at my university. They used only two pieces of foamboard to make their topography hills. Foamboard was very expensive back then. They printed the topo lines on two sheets of foam. Lets say the terrain went from 0 to 30 units high. They cut one piece of foam on every 5 unit line (5, 15, 25) and the other piece on every 0 unit line (0, 10, 20, 30). Then they aligned the 5 unit strip along the 5 unit line on the base and glued it down. Then they aligned the 10 unit strip along the 10 unit line on the 5 unit strip and glued it down. The back of the model was hollow, so they stacked cheap cardboard squares to use as support under the model.
@TerrainMadeEasy4 жыл бұрын
If I understand that correctly, you could make these hills with less material and make them hollow, but I think there's no real need, unless you are desperate. And you could deffo do this hile using foam board, probably look better!
@dchall84 жыл бұрын
Correct. For your project you would have made three rings and the top piece. Stack them up and glue them. Way back then the architects' foamboard was an unbelievable $25 per sheet, so minimizing the piece count for students was necessary.

I support Poorhammer! I also suggest anyone considering paiper mache to check out TheDMsCraft's video on paiper mache hills. DM Scotty started with similar cardboard pieces, added wet paper kitchen towel, a bit of bog roll, and water and PVA glue. The way he does it comes out very hard and tends not to suffer warping. It made a more gentle hill than the Poorhammer Hill. And yes, the DAP Wallboard Joint Compound is pretty much the same thing you're using here for us Americans. Might also use wood filler (Plastic Wood-X also by DAP) for the same purpose. Spacklle also works about the same. Different stuff, but it all works out about the same for filling edges of cardboard to get rid of the edges. I've used all three-whatever I can most easily get. A tube of wood filler won't be enough for this kind of thing, get a tub.

First, joint compound and spackle are 2 different things. I've worked in construction and building repair for a long time trust me when I say there's a difference. J.C. is used as the 1st layer with sheetrock and to put down the tape on the joints and it contains a lot more water than spackle. I personally prefer the blue lid spackle from USG as it contains less water and therefore shrinks less once dry, or in this case, has less of a chance of warping the cardboard. 2nd, going forward when using cardboard I'd recommend taking the step to spray paint your project with either "Kilz primer/sealer/stain killer" or "Zinnser 1-2-3 stain killer/sealer and primer", operative word in both being "sealer". Once it's been sealed there are no worries about warpage as the moisture can no longer get to the cardboard. Just make sure to spray it all the way around, allowing dry time going from top to bottom unless you hang it while spraying it.

But cardboard may not hold up under the weight of spackle long term as spackle, being gypsum, is basically a liquified stone that dries into said stone ultimately. And you should also know that if you put spackle on too thickly it will crack and have difficulty drying fully

I'm trying to decide how to make a gentle sloping hill for a 1/32 diorama of The Battle of Bunker Hill, or properly Breed's Hill. Breed's Hill was 62 feet high with a slope , on the side was a dirt road running through it to Bunker Hill. I have a good map of the original topography and want this to be as actual as I can make it. In the future it might be used in a middle school American History class, or club. I want to look at all situations of the battle from the American Colonial to the British and what could have changed the outcome for both sides.

You can probably use that as it tends not to warp much I think, no har in trying it maybe

What’s a cheap alternative to flock
@TerrainMadeEasy3 жыл бұрын
Making your own. So the cheapest way is to try and get some sawdust for free (from any wood place), and then simply mixing it with paint. You could also maybe blend up I think upholstery foam....I would youtube this as I haven't done it myself.

Glad you mention the warping issue with the card... hot glue ftw! I graduated years ago to poly on mdf bases... 0 warpage lol But great tutorial none the less... terrain never gets old for me.

Paper mache should be good for the slopes but I don't think it would look as good for the rock fasce but I am not sure.

Thats looks amazing too :) what i wanted to ask that do u, use cheaper paints for terrain rather than your usual mini paints( like citadel, vallejo, army painter ect.) and if u do whats your recommendation? ohh and whats your recepi for your black wash? (begginer on the other side sry if that stuff is common knowledge) :)
@TerrainMadeEasy4 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I always use cheap craft paints, or testor pots for house paints! I would never suggest using mini paints (maybe in tiny details). Artists acrylic paints are medium in terms of price, the cheapest paints are little testor pots for house paints. Get black, brown and grey and you can do a lot of terrain. For the wash, I often just use like a small dab of black, like a tiny tiny bit of black paint, and just water! To go a bit fancier you could add a one drop of dish soap (will help it flow - you could use flow aid) and like 90% water. Hard to be exact There's more advance methods using mat medium and black ink and proper flow aid, but the cheap one is pretty decent!

Hello, what did you use to seal it?
@TerrainMadeEasy3 жыл бұрын
I generally just seal with amix of pva and water, though as it is card I wouldn't drown it in it.

what is dry brushing?
@TerrainMadeEasy4 жыл бұрын
Dry brushing is basically taking most of your paint off your bush, so that it's pretty dry with a very very small amount on, then when you "paint" with it, onlya little bit comes off. What you are trying to do is to catch the pointy bits on terrain or a model, this will in effect highlight the model to try and approximate light shinging on it. Leave the reccesses dark

@Bluecho43 жыл бұрын
From context, I think this is the case. Just remember to get plain Elmer's glue, not "school glue". The latter is less effective, since it's intended for children. The stuff I have on my desk is called "Glue-All, Multi-Purpose Glue".

Is this me talking about the flock at the end? If so, normally lets say you pva and flock, you often want to add a lyer on top to seal it in, so maybe like some sprayed water and pva with a drop of dish soap (makes it flow into the cracks), Was that it?

@TerrainMadeEasy3 жыл бұрын
Where are you based? Basically you have two main options. House paints (testor pots), artist acrylics, either budget ones from craft stores, or cheap artist ones.
