Crafting miniature ruins for Warhammer 40k and more

[@LockeVincent]

This is what I needed today. Thanks again for the great inspiration and tutorial.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.

[@Barry-Sweaty]

Hell yeah. This is bad ass. I have a total terrain chub right now.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Haha-thank you!

[@AzraelThanatos]

One thing with it is that you might want to consider going with a 3 layer wall rather than 2, with the larger openings on both outsides of it sandwiching the ones with the smaller...or, if you want to have paned windows, go with 5 layers, the middle and outsides being the larger and other being the smaller openings, the middle one can hold what you want for the window itself.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Azrael! 3 would be great to get the bevel on both sides. I decided to leave it out to save time. I find that crafting is always a balance of detail vs. time.

[@AzraelThanatos]

@@OkayHobbyTime I was thinking the combo of detail and sturdyness. That type of wall is also relatively fragile for basic accidents and in ways that are difficult to repair.

[@leonardd.hilleyii7554]

Thanks for making templates!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Leonard, glad you like them! More to come.

[@Purposefulhappiness]

Thank you for the template and tutorial!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Hi Michelle, good luck with the build!

[@jhall1980]

Awesome build

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you!

[@Daggerleep]

Another crisp execution. With all these awesome builds, its almost time to see some full table set ups.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Jordan! And definitley, showing off the full setups would be fun.

[@fraenkybalboa]

as always: great cinema! *.* I'm happy about every video you release! Cheers!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you, Fraenky! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@jhall1980]

Love it

[@connorjensen9699]

Looks amazing! That top floor seems a little soft though, might be worth incorporating some wood beams for it, or using something like an ePVC foam sheet underneath the less destroyed sections

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Connor! There's some bounce to it but nothing I'm worried about. It's surprisingly sturdy. Wood beams may make there way into a video once I go bigger, though!

[@jordand1554]

Awesome new build, keep up the great work.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Jordan! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@myrkla]

Amazing job

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! 😀

[@paulofreire7520]

Very cool 👍🏻

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! 🙌

[@mariodavila8259]

You make some of my favorite style terrain keep up the good work.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Mario! Glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@w40kavecarcanoide]

C'est très jolie et très bien expliqué. C'est dommage que tes ruine ne s'emboîtent pas pour gagner de la place en stockage. Très beau travail clair net splendide !

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Good tips-thanks for watching! 🙌

[@JawaJunky]

Perfect video! Liked, subed, purchased... Keep up the great work.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@pascastro9928]

What do you do with all these projects? They must take a whole lot of storage space. I love the process and overall finish of the builds although I think taking it to the next level (assemblability) would be golden.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

I keep them all! I have a couple IKEA Bookshelves in my studio and they're getting quite full.

[@prnzali2010]

Pure art! The wood work is fantastic. This is one of the most satisfying builds I've seen. I don't want to use that much foam to get the bezel look. Any suggestions?

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! And you can definitely opt out of using 2 walls to create the bezel look. Maybe add some outer window sills to create some dimension instead.

[@sggee]

Love the stylishness of the channel great work in your execution of the builds. Looking forward to more videos and hope your channel grows to the size it deserves.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you, Shane. Really glad to hear that. More to come!

[@oned6craftingdamage99]

Have you ever had any stability issues when placing miniatures on the wooden floors? I can see some of metal miniatures causing the foam to bend beyond breaking point.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

None at all. I know it looks a little bouncy, but the foam isn't anywhere close to breaking. I'd love to do a video one day demonstrating how weight this type of foam can take.

[@justinskol597]

Great video, what are the miniatures that you used?

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks! And the minis are from a company called Highland Miniatures. 3D printed.

[@mordor-focker]

Using two boards with the windows cut that way looks amazing and gives it some real depth. Can't wait to try this myself on my own builds. Inspiring stuff mate thank you. Subbed, notifications on and liked, look forward to more from you.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! Glad to hear that. Good luck with your build.

[@jonathandavis4819]

Thanks dude. I knocked out two of these ruins this weekend. I skipped the wood floors. 😂

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Nice! Gothic ruins are always fun to make-I hope they turned out great

[@dartmart9263]

First time commenting. Fantastic tutorial. Foam is always so therapeutic to work with, and almost hypnotic (and so relaxing) to watch when being given form. Are you in the USA? If so, where did you get your machining blocks? Thanks!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks for the comment! And I agree, I love working with XPS foam. I'm in Canada and was able to find the blocks on Amazon. They should be on the US site as well.

[@dartmart9263]

@@OkayHobbyTime Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Just found your channel. This was awesome.also subscribed.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@cain40000]

Fantastic build and thanks for sharing. Also just a small nitpick... vertical goes up and down. Horizontal goes across (for your floors) ;). Keep up the great work.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I should have used the word sideways to describe the bottom beams since they're still technically horizontal. 🙂

[@tobyfarrow7081]

These might be the best terrain videos that I've seen on KZbin, thank you for sharing your amazing work. I would love to have a go at this and can see that you have posted the Amazon links below, however please can you let us know what wooden block tool you are using when cutting the foam sheets at 0:32 of the video? Also I know you have mentioned making the blueprints available, please can you let us know when and where we can find these? Thanks again!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks Toby, the comment is appreciated! The attachment is from is from a company called Shifting Lands. There's a link for the blueprints in the video description. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching!

[@Walican132]

Great video. My only critique was the reflection on your display was distracting a bit. You airbrush indoors? I’ve been thinking about doing the same what are you using for air circulation?

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! And yes, it's been bugging me as well and will eventually be swapped with something more neutral. I airbrush indoors, but usually only briefly. When it's longer sessions I crack the window next to me and/or wear a 3M respirator.

[@Psgtoday41]

Nice build, what is the scale of your ruin?.

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thanks! It's 1/32 scale. Fits Warhammer / D&D minis.

[@finch3748]

We’re did you get the fence attachment? Splendid work btw

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! The fence attachment is from a company called Shifting Lands.

@@finch3748 I'm glad to hear that. Terrain building is a ton of fun. Good luck with the builds!

So helpful,😅

[@OkayHobbyTime]

[@ursahobbies]

I'd really like to purchase this template! I just have a question. Are the pieces small enough to fit inside the dimensions of an A4 sheet? I am planning to use Foam board of that size! Thanks!

[@OkayHobbyTime]

The templates sized for 8.5x11. So it's very close to A4! Hope that helps.

[@ursahobbies]

@@OkayHobbyTime yeah, thanks! Love the content!

[@finch3748]

We’re do you buy your foam from?

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Hey, I get all my foam from my local hardware store since it’s original purpose is for insulation.

[@markcramer4762]

What was the total build time?

[@OkayHobbyTime]

It's always hard to give an answer since I don't really track. But definitely a week-ish of solid evenings that lasted a couple hours each.

[@TheKlabim]

[@Fanroghscorner]

If you have a patreon stuff like templates would be a great reward for subscribers to the patreon 😊 Great work 👍😊

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Thank you! And I agree, that's the future plan / in the works. 🙂

[@eetennak966]

6$ for a template is not a "small fee". It does look good tho

[@OkayHobbyTime]

Hi Eetennak, the feedback is appreciated

[@Kruziik]

Bro is really charging 5 dollars for that template lol

[@OkayHobbyTime]

The plans are there as an optional way to support the channel as I currently don't have a Patreon. No need to purchase if you don't see the value in it-the videos are free for all.
