DESERT MESA OUTPOST - Miniature Terrain Tutorial [DESERT TERRAIN EP.3]

[@NafePaints]

Man, this is absolutely incredible! The little poles stabbed into the mountain really showed how little things can make something looked 'lived in' and real.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks :)

[@christopherbray598]

Very inspiring. Thank you.

[@Ernzt8]

Nice job! With a few changes it could easily be used for orky or western terrain too

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! I was going for a middle ground. I may make some ork add ons in the future :p

Awesome job!

Thank you :)

[@manjr]

Really nice work. I like the mixing of wood and metal platforms, and the irregular platform shapes.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you!

[@TimboToys]

This is so awesome! Inspiring man.

[@hauntswargaming]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment :)

[@thomascruise4966]

Damn, this is awesome! I don’t have the… really anything (time, space, money, supplies, knowledge, etc.) to build large terrain like this, let alone something this cool. Great work friend, it’s incredible!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! I'm planning to use this in a bat rep sometime this year :) I want to build some smaller versions of this with interconnecting bridges too

[@MMadjansen]

Very cool, impressive size. Great tutorial. :)

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! :)

Why not use EPS or spray-foam, covered in joint compound? It has the same result with less messing around and costs less.

[@AzraelThanatos]

Great work, and gives me a few ideas for things Since you'd covered the foam in compound, it might have been easier to replace the modpodge mix with some of the exterior spray paint+primer options to save some time. You might also consider looking in the hardware store for various metal mesh tapes rather than going for the office supplies to chop up. I believe it's in the gutter sections and is a lot easier to work with and the same basic thing while being cheaper. It's not quite as heavy duty, but you aren't likely to need it to be that level, and it becomes far easier to have some fun with it such as trimming in some interior battle damage. A friend of mine used a lot of that for a scifi setup a long while back for catwalks.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks, I'll have to check out that mesh. Also, I haven't tried it but I don't think the compound would protect the foam from the aerosol spray. The mod podge forms a vapor barrier plus it gives everything a hard shell. I needed that around the areas where I cut the spray foam since it becomes spongy when cut.

[@enzocrea1]

Amazing.!! You achieve very good aesthetics.!! I like it a lot.!! I have a cat just like yours!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! Is your black cat's name also Luna?

[@enzocrea1]

@@hauntswargaming Ha ha ha! No. He is male and his name is Puccini after the Italian composer. Nice name your cat has.

[@hauntswargaming]

@@enzocrea1 That's a good name as well. I was just curious cuz It's a pretty common name for black cats. :P

[@enzocrea1]

@@hauntswargaming I am a musician. That's why I didn't fall for the rule. Ha ha ha.!!

[@Deltrox98]

Awesome video. Everything really turned out great! Any chance for some fantasy terrain?

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! I will definitely be making fantasy terrain at some point in the future. :)

[@tsundre]

FOR ARRAKIS!!!! FOR SHAI-HULUD!!!!!!!!

[@hauntswargaming]

I am considering building a sandworm maw sometime :p It would be better as a diorama than terrain though

[@sackofham]

You might be able to save a buck and skip a step if you used glossy black construction paper in place of window tint and clear plastic.

[@hauntswargaming]

That would work too. I have a roll of window tint that I used for my aquarium and the plastic is from a food container that I cut up so I didn't buy them just for this :p
