Goodwill 40k Terrain

I make a Warhammer 40k building based on a broken toy from a thrift store. The materials for the build are mostly second hand which made the project very inexpensive.

Tidy Cat jug is absolutely priceless!!! Haha! And those walls were a great score to start off from! Definitely a dollar well spent!!!

[@thriftminis]

Thank you, I collect a lot of broken junk because I know one day I can give it a new life!

[@KenOfthewest]

Great build and the using junk mail to create your cans and bottle advertising is pure genius! I'm stealing this idea for sure! Keep up the great work!

[@thriftminis]

I'm glad you liked it. I think of those kind of like Easter eggs for other people to find when they look closely at the terrain.

[@alphagrendel]

Love the cheapness. Inexpensive terrain is the best. This looks as good or better than a lot of terrain built with ultra-expensive hobby kit. One note about fires in buildings - If you create V-patterns at the openings, if gives a real sense of reality.

[@thetastywhale]

Using the outside plastic as a guide for the foam cutter to bulk it up was great. Using newspaper adverts to work as scale props worked so well too!

[@thriftminis]

Yeah the wire cutter was the most fun part of the build. I think I got the wire cutter cheap as well, I think it was $30 in a craft store. Thanks for watching!

[@ClaytonGrimwald]

Another epic video, I know you're a busy guy but I wish we'd see more of you here.

[@thriftminis]

Thank you, yeah I stay pretty busy, I will try to get some more videos up when I can. Thanks for the support man!

[@LeonardoTheMage]

I was a little skeptical when I saw you slapping foam and hot glue and Lego on there, but you tied everything together really well and it looks fantastic! Really good job, I may need to try copying this with whatever bits and bobs I can find at my own local thrift shops.

[@thriftminis]

Thanks, I used to think white foam was junk and only use nice insulation foam board but if you are going to cover it with sand and grit its a great free option. Thanks for watching i am glad you liked it!

[@dartmart9263]

Excellent video!!! I particularly loved the “thickening” of the walls. I did something similar with some of the GW Lord of the Rings thin plastic ruined walls.

[@thriftminis]

It's funny because I kept thinking about those LOTR walls as I was building it! Thanks dude

[@maddokminis]

A joy to watch from beginning to end and amazing results! Liked and subbed. Many thanks for the great video! 👍

Nice work!

[@steampunk8036]

Great job, brother! I love the idea of taking small and advertisements and gluing them onto objects. Dang! Great build! - Rick, USMC

[@thriftminis]

A fellow Devil Dog! Thanks bro,I also figured out that you could make advertisement signs using junk mail flyers also. I will do that in another project. Semper Fi!

[@steampunk8036]

New subscriber - don’t describe what you’re doing on the screen, the helpful tips are good but tell us how you’re feeling! Tell us your dreams Hopes Ideas! If the piece gives a fun idea for a scenario, tell us!

[@thriftminis]

Yeah I will give that a try, Thanks for the sub!

[@tannersands6959]

Goodwill can be both terrible and glorious, much like 40k! Great vid brother

[@thriftminis]

Yeah I get some strange looks sometimes ha ha, I show up every weekend and buy broken toys. I'm going to do more trash-->terrain videos because I think people like them the most. Thanks man!

[@tannersands6959]

I loved it! And those plastic playsets make such good starting points for projects

[@lightseeker4155]

Great piece, all the little details sold it perfectly

[@thriftminis]

Thanks, I might make a bunch of small detailed parts ahead of time for other projects so I can just pull them out for final touches

[@emmamarx9284]

I have so much junk toy sets I’ve picked up over the years at places like goodwill outlet for like a dollar a pound. Every time I’m like this will make a great piece of terrain and I have like 3 big bins full of those thrifted play sets in my garage lol This is really Inspiring though, I really should dig them all out and make a table of just thrift store terrain lol

[@thriftminis]

Yeah! That sounds a lot like me! Go for it and share some pics or videos!

[@MRPMAKES]

You did an amazing job building this. Great weathering and overall build. Keep up the awesome work and i look forward to seeing more.

[@thriftminis]

Thanks a lot!

[@MonsterPainter]

[@figureartout]

Epic video , nice Inspiration for necromunda terrian

[@thriftminis]

Thanks, yeah I am working on a retro necromunda board

[@waynegoddard4065]

Excellent stuff. Absolutely love it buddy.

[@MRaadesign]

Nice work!!!

[@thriftminis]

Thank You!

[@waynegoddard4065]

This video alone has just got me back into hobby. Edit: Liked, subscribed and shared. You need more subs brother.

[@thriftminis]

That's great to hear. I picked the hobby back up a few years ago and some people close to me encouraged me to share it on youtube so I am glad its helping people get excited. Thank for watching my stuff!

[@LandersWorkshop]

Imagine having claymation with this background in a 40k story and characters... Endless possibilities....

[@thriftminis]

Yeah or cinematic battle reports...

[@manjr]

That's some great toybashing!

[@thriftminis]

Yeah, I love using toys because they have all of that detail built in for you.

[@BattlebrotherPhil]

That is freakin amazing!

[@thriftminis]

Thanks, I am glad you think its cool!

[@CMTechnica]

This is the best excuse I’ve seen to get a foam wire cutter

[@thriftminis]

Yeah I think mine was about $30 at Hobby lobby so its not fancy like a proxon but I wanted the ability to sculpt foam in a way other than using a razor. It can create a different look.

[@cheeserdane]

7:55 If you need rocks go for a walk with bags in your pockets...

[@thriftminis]

I do that too. I have some free aquarium stones as well. I will have to do a video about 100% free things at some point. Thanks for watching!

[@waynegoddard4065]

Looks like you bought it from a gaming shop once you painted it.

[@thriftminis]

Thank you, the goal of the channel is to make professional looking game items on a small budget so I am glad!
