I love the design aesthetic you have, it’s very sterile, and clean and sharp but smothered in filth, I bloody love it.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks again 😉

This is so creative! I love it when people make something new out of trash.

Sweet Zombie Jesus! Such a great build - it would look great in a 1/35 diorama of a destroyed factory in a Chernobyl / Apocalypse setting. I wish the sweetie shops were open, but it is 23:00hrs.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks ! Shops are now open ! 😉

This has become one of my favorite channels. Your work really is inspiring, as many have already said. It is so free form it has inspired me to re-examine all of the bits and pieces we throw away in our daily lives and it makes me want to give them a second life in gaming, or even just the process of making something. I am new to the tabletop miniatures side of gaming, Gaslands has been my entry point and posts like this dovetail perfectly into the kitbashing that is encouraged there. I wish you all the luck in growing your channel and congrats on 1k subs, you deserve so many more!

Thank u very much indeed ! I hope you’ve seen my gaslands terrain ? Still more to come !

Great tip !

[@negotiableaffections]

That is just an amazing scratch build - you've achieved a shop bought kit finish with very basic [and recognisable] 'garbage'. The bubblegum containers also 'power' my scratchbuilt spaceship and the juice bottle caps just go on getting stuck on here,there&everywhere on many builds. Subscribed my friend!

looks awesome I have a bubble tape container I'm planning to do the same thing for with my battletech terrain.

The can is 28mm scale so perfect for what i’m using it, however for battletech it’s definitely too big. Thank’s for watching and welcome to the workshop !

[@artsplunge]

Really nice piece. It's just fun watching all the creativity that you put into each build. I've spent the past couple of years collecting stuff and now it's time to put them to use. You brought up the issue of using capacitors in constructing a piece. I know from my electronics experience they sometimes bulge and leak over time. Have you ever run into that situation? I've started to ask around whether it's OK to spray paint capacitors or even embed them in resin. I have a ton of circuit boards that I hope to use by priming and painting them and I wasn't sure if the paint would interact with any of the chemicals or components on the board.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks ! I cover my capacitors with super glue. Never had problems...for now.

Tip: add a small light to the side of your head. It'll help with continuity.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Please elaborate, continuity in the vid. ?

[@jimhinkle7245]

@@DarkMatterWorkshop Easier to see your face. 3 Point lighting. You have your key light and background light to separate you from the background, but you need a small fill light to help bring you into the frame better.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Jimmy Hinkle ah, more professional lighting ! 100% agreed. The workshop is in need of a good clean up and several readjustments regarding lights, etc. I allready got extra lighting as evidenced in the new vid. and when the shop is done and the lighting placed right it’s going to look (a lot) beter. I like the dark/mysterious look of this setup but in the future that’ll only be used in the right context. Thanks for the tips !

It all depends of the size of the terrain really, this is a small piece. I use latex paints for big pieces. I also prefer the quality and for airbrushing it’s far superior. I prefer easy of use and quality over price.
