As a side note, if everyone put the same level of effort into their sponsorship messages as you do, I would spend infinitely less time hammering the bottom right corner of my keyboard!

[@geraldp8022]

Yeah I think this is the only channel where I don't think to skip through the sponsorship sections.

[@sameerdodger]

We need to start a dialogue guys, is MS Paints the GOAT of miniature wargaming content? I don't even do wargaming lol, my brother does. I bought a combat patrol of Eldar to paint and display just for something new to do. But every video on this channel I've watched at least twice. I think it's just refreshing to see someone take pride in their work, especially here on the youtubes.

[@MSPaints]

Thank you kindly! 🐸🐸

[@Lord_Aussem]

I like that you take pauses to let what’s happening breathe. I’m tired of other KZbinrs non-stop talking. I want to be able to take in what you’re doing. Fantastic video sir!

[@MSPaints]

Was told when I started I shouldn’t have any dead air. But i managed to get out of that habit and move down a gear. Suits my vibe more I think!

[@CirWot]

I'm old enough to have made much of this the first time around. It's really refreshing to see bright, vivid colours instead of all the currently favoured gloom and adding twelve colours to every grey surface. There's room for a bit of joy in the hobby. Great video.

[@adampriestley7732]

The minis that pop out from their base and surrounding scenery are great.

[@MSPaints]

Cheers mate!

[@Kathandros]

'The ol' sneaky Jeremy' love it, stealing that.

[@ScrumpleScuff]

There's always time for a sneaky Jeremy

[@lovedeathdice]

Love this style man. I feel so much of our slice of KZbin is starting to emulate the Mr.Beast format but here you are, making shit your way.

[@MSPaints]

Aye aye, those guys are making money though, hahaha. I can’t blame em! Thank you though! I do enjoy what I do

[@foxbat51]

Check out Bill Making Stuff, Dan Does, Slime House TV, they are crafting channels that do their own thing. Magrathea Builder of Worlds is good too. Literally a man in his shed, like 1970's British kids TV. Oh, and Mel the Terrain Tutor, if he's still going.

[@Lee-fe1uk]

This is why I enjoy watching your videos there never sugar coated and you say it as it is plus it’s educational as well just for good measure

[@MSPaints]

Cheers mate!

[@chillywilly883]

Oh man, nostalgia overload.

[@Empowerless]

I don't really watch the terrain building side of the hobby, but this is relaxing and I enjoyed it. Keep making more!

[@johnnnysilverhand9819]

This looks great and vibrant, I miss this style. I think it’s time to bring it back

[@craigbutler3378]

Great video. Brought back memories of when I was playing in the 80s using an upside down subbuteo green mat I had from the 70s as the base terrain.

[@mitchelsmith7782]

YOU SIR HAVE EARNED A SUBSCRIBER , A CONTENT CREATOR WHO IS JUST STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

[@meanderingshade]

The nostalgia is strong with this one, nice work bud. Carry on being awesome and take care.

[@4hedgesfamily]

I remember that book! It was the first terrain book I ever bought, and it was a great start! I still have my old copy somewhere, with a lot of notes stuck in the margins. I really like how you show the simple way to do things. I see some videos that seem to go overboard, like "How to paint Tau feet in 13 easy steps" and I'm like, "Dude, their feet are only 1/8 of an inch across!" Please keep up the awesome videos and Tony in perpetual forward motion!

[@MSPaints]

Thanks mate! Tony won’t ever stop that motion!

[@saltfreegamer]

The same part of my brain that keeps a Dreamcast around LOVES this table! Nice work, looks rad!

[@daniellogue8365]

The card buildings look great especially next to the round trees, feels very vintage vibes

[@MSPaints]

Yeah they certainly fit the table

[@tomwilson88]

Old school terrian building is one of my favourite things in the hobby. You get to build whatever you want, however you want, out of anything you want. The only limitations being your skills and imagination.

[@IxAMxBUTLER]

those card buildings are pretty nice

[@zippy5131]

The good old 'Bottle Brush Trees' you can get them from K&M trees part of JAVIS. A little old trick for any bases made of card is to layer the base (Bottom) with the brown plasticy parcel tape as it doesn't stretch it keeps it all level. Bloody brilliant though a blast from the past.

[@ultrahevybeat]

i love the german name for that tower "SHRECKENSTEIN"

[@Verdigris04]

I've got a ton of those cardboard terrain pieces (from the same makers you got them from), I really should print some out and do some more up. I've done both sci-fi and fantasy ones, and it's actually kind of a pleasant evening, putting some movies or whatever on in the background and gluing some cardboard stuff together. Top tip: you can use a colored marker (black, brown, or gray, depending on what you're putting together) over the "white" edges before you glue everything together, so they don't stand out so much.

[@Namehack]

Best sponsor segment ever. 10/10.

[@Estaran]

This table really brought back some memories. Banger setup!

[@3picdermis223]

Hector is always welcome for some donuts and Twin Peaks as long as he's painting me one of these masterpieces. Also love the build. Always saw the book in our hobby store but could not get myself to save up some of my pocket money for it. Great to see KZbinrs explore it. Pleasant shot of nostalgia.

[@jackhaffenhoff1365]

Looks great! I think you really maintained the 1990s aesthetic.

[@MSPaints]

Thank you!

[@PerfectionHunter]

I swear last week i found my copy of the WARGAMES TERRAIN book from when i was a wee lad, and it was in Mint Condition no less 🤩 So funny you make a video about this stuff just now.

[@detuninja]

Now that was extremely nostalgic to watch, so much so it almost hurts... I never owned that red book but I do still have to second version of it, the blue one.

[@MSPaints]

The blue one is great! And much more informative!

[@Thaw1000]

There's definitely something refreshing about a battlescape in bright green - made me all nostalgic for that 90's Warhammer vibe. Might have to dig my old Citadel grass mat out...

[@lazerwaffle5863]

I've found a weirdly accurate plushie of that same health and safety frog , so now i have one at home to bust my chops for not wearing gloves and a mask when i'm priming

[@TheHobbyCorner]

Dude. That flock base and cardboard bases is peak 90s terrain building. And that rollout static grass mat? Absolute terror for mess and tearing. But it was a must have. Thanks for the video mate! I need to look into those printable building designs! Big loves 🤘😎🔥

[@MSPaints]

Aye mate them buildings are… not solid… but solid enough!

[@TheHobbyCorner]

@@MSPaints put a layer of modgepodge on the inside should do the trick...or make it soggy and warped lol

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

This whole project definitely scratches my nostalgia itch

[@TheBunnan]

Love Fat Dragon games, both their paper and 3D printed terrain is easy to make and looks great. Pro tip: use a dark colour texture on the raw edges of the card terrain to blend them in :)

[@MSPaints]

I think I’m gonna have to bag myself some of their stuff down the line.

[@TheBunnan]

@@MSPaints my mistake, the one you built was from Dave Graffam Models. His stuff is well designed too.

[@heretical_hobbyist]

I still have my big red book of all knowledge, and the blue version they released a few years later too.

[@MSPaints]

Blue version is much better I think!

[@looselycollected7505]

Love this video! Spectacular! I've had a shit couple of days, and this really warmed my heart and made me smile. Thank you, sir.

[@MSPaints]

You’re welcome!

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Those cardboard buildings are amazing. A million wives cried out in pain at the thought of all that ink being used.

[@MSPaints]

Not to me mention the amount of white card getting stuck in the carpet from the offcuts.

[@adirondackgamecrafts]

Love it! So many great ideas! Wish I had seen this before going all out making a few small wall terrain pieces. LOL

[@rupertjones5197]

100% here for old world stuff, great video and keep it up!! My favourite video for a while dude, just resonates nostalgia and the board looks the part! The quality and style of your videos in unparalleled to any other miniature creator I believe. You’ve got your own style and take on everything. Brilliant craftmanship. That’s Enough smoke up your arse for now;) 😂

[@mikevincent8728]

Your heroic 'project complete' music always legit brims my cranium with dopamine. Top work, as always! Undulations. 👌

[@MSPaints]

Aye it’s always lovely to remember it exists and bring it back for another spin!

[@MrAndypick100]

@@MSPaints What song is it, if you don't mind me asking? I feel I need it to help me accomplish stuff :) And fantastic video as always - so much 90's GW nostalgia seeing the book and your finished pieces!

[@violetcorvidgaming4507]

This is honestly my Favourite video you've ever made Dave! This and your previous one about the LOTRs SBG. Honestly some of my favourite content mate. I own the wargames terrain book that came after the Red bible. It is just as good, maybe a little more advanced to the red one.

[@MSPaints]

Cheers mate! Was a blast to make it!

[@walksinthedarkness]

Absolute banger of a video! Really enjoyed this one. The vibes were good and it was lovely seeing all of that classic terrain on a table. Also, shot of you painting the river whilst Hector completes his work of art was chef's kiss! How much did he make off of his painting?

[@MSPaints]

Yeah I think that’s actually the best shot we’ve ever done! Hahaha

[@mordecaitoth6703]

Tremendous work! The printed card building is surprisingly good for what it is. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-qi1jc1yn3o]

I was alarmed to discover earlier today that 1997 was 27 years ago today so now I feel incredibly old 😮

[@SomeDudeOnYouTube]

Biggest benefit of the build: you can use that click-catchy keyword WARHAMMER as often as you like without being untrue ;) Look great mate.

[@MSPaints]

Aye! Although I’m not sure if that word helps me anymore! Hahaha

[@SomeDudeOnYouTube]

@@MSPaints I'm sure it won't hurt though!

[@alarak2159]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[@thomascoutts9242]

Everything about this video is nostalgia inducing… apart from the excellent looking 3d printer

[@terrencemiltner1005]

Glad the next video up brought me this. I was watching some old BMC vidoes when this came up. Was surprised it was such a new video. Will need to remember that masking tape trick.

[@MrEthicsgradient]

That was a marvellous blast from the past! with scenery I'm often torn between the geographer in me wanting realism and the nostalgia of the old days. I'm aalso a big fan of the Dave Graffam card models - I love building houses from foamcore, but it's just so time consuming in comparison.

[@AzraelThanatos]

You know, what I'd learned rather quickly was that you could replace most of the cardboard layers with foamcore. My experience with it as a terrain thing was seeing a lot of battletech players using it. It also tended to be easier to acquire if you weren't getting a lot of the corrugated cardboard options. I've used it for several things even more recently now...just switching from various thin wood that would be cut by hand (or if I was lucky, my fathers power tools) to several pre-cut plywood bases.

[@HQRubbish]

The only way this could be more 90s is if you did absolutely fuckall and just put some upside down paper cups on a kitchen table.

[@MSPaints]

After I finished filming my mum came in and told me to pack it all up. Does that count?

[@HQRubbish]

Only if you acted visibly upset and moaned about it as you were packing it up.

[@Carcharoth0]

I swear by the grout mix, it goes on everything: base layer for boards, over expanding foam rocks and in generous layers over a plate of mashed spuds. Adding less/more sand/ballast (delete as appropriate) for the required texture.

[@slimehousetv]

Love this man, OLDSCHOOL always the best! 💯👊

[@MSPaints]

Ya man! Old School is the only school!

[@TheWizardsBrush]

Ah man that takes me back! Looks great, proper crunchy 90's vibes 🔥

[@notfreshey]

Oh my lord that intro was a treat

[@redcoat259]

Great vid! And I’m loving the Django Reinhardt music vibes😊

[@Biggles369]

So many memories making terrain like this. I have got into the habit of 3D printing terrain now and I think it wuld be good to get back to basics again. - maybe not with cardboard bases though. ;)

[@jamiem9490]

(mobster voice) " give him the old Sneaky Jeremy..." *Muffled screaming sounds off screen* Old Skool Feels aplenty, lovely stuff. So much green on the ground plane. I can only assume The Old World pre blowing up was, canonically, Magic Ireland. Makes sense.

[@Nick-gk6jc]

Great to see the retro hammer vibes.

[@elstonation]

As if I didn't have enough to do, now I want a retro board full of terrain 😅

[@MSPaints]

At least it doesn’t take long!

[@walstafa]

I wish I had the space to do some of these builds and store them after they were done! Great work as always lad!

[@jaanikaapa6925]

I especially love your scatterbrained videos. You're easily one of the best in the scene and you actually get it. Good enough for the things needed.

[@bradcraig6676]

Wow that took me back. I got a keen sense of deja-eew.

[@brenthartman502]

Great vid mate. Ahhh the memories from the halcyon days 😄👍👍

[@ageoftheatom154]

I totally had that book, and remember making some river segments based on the instructions. Thanks for the hit of nostalgia!

[@mazikainen]

GW did a great series of "journey books" for LOTR back in the day with very beginner friendly instructions on how to scratchbuild all the terrain you need to get you from the Shire to Mordor using just basic materials. Simpler times..

[@goforitpainting]

Cool terrains.

[@Kidzrul]

Looks good!

[@colinwiseman]

I like that you got Danny Elfman to do the background music to this video.

[@noops9220]

If you hit the white edges of your cardboard buildings with a sharpie it’ll hide the joins and help a lot

[@dominicskelton3031]

Still got my copy. Yes it's dated, but it was a brilliant combination of heart, accessibility, and genuinely pretty, if overly manicured looking, results. Although I certainly wish we'd had 5mm XPS floor underlay tiles in the '90s.... 😂

[@edwindrood2816]

Nice. I loved this book. Had 2 copies.

[@lootpigeon]

Flockin' 'ell! Banger of video!

[@syd4890]

Looks sooooo good ❤ i was lucky ebough to get the red book cheap and in very good condition from ebay. It's an awesome tome of knowledge for someone who was a little lad in the 90s and 2000s and mom and dad did not let him get into this sort of stuff ^^

[@jammywesty91]

Really, really great job lad. This is one of my favourite videos and builds you've done. Excellent editing as per, you pace your videos really well and the narration always comes through as sincere. That eclectic mix of things really embodies the DIY vibe of the 90's. Fond memories. Got me wanting to knock out some goblin green base rims now.

[@h.j.peters.2891]

mate, this touched something way way inside me, not in a daily mail way. 😂

[@oskar6661]

Nice work. Recently reading old 1990's Warhammer Fantasy battle reports...they really had something there. It's so far from the comical Age of Sigmar stuff now. I think all GW games took a major hit when they stopped using anything they didn't produce...

[@MSPaints]

Absolutely, the push toward everything being iconic and immediately recognisable as GW has totally killed it for me. I need some simplicity

[@Wolfnstone]

Love this. All the nostalgia ❤

[@jamfjord]

Cheers Dave, your videos are just what 'the doctor' (Tony's tax efficient accountant) ordered. I need to save pennies somewhere after spending all my money toy feckin trains. You were not wrong, that shit is ruinous.

100% do not blame you for very quickly moving on from authentic layered cardboard bases, absolute nuts to that noise we have such better tech and materials, now it'd be mad not to use it.

Thankfully I think they’re near enough blunt after all this cardboard!

[@FrozenThrog]

I only have the latter blue terrain book. Less 90s vibes in it, and more mid-2000s. Still cool though.
