I've been painting for 30 years and this is some of the best rust I've seen. Excellent method well done!

[@puckett2k2009]

That project was piping hot! Way to glow! You really spilled it!

[@harlandmountain7998]

Nice to see you keeping your punning skills from rusting over.

[@Brickerbrack]

A little tip for those who can't get hold of fluorescent (neon) green paint; take a lemon yellow, and mix in a little yellowish-green (say, sap green) to tint it. It's not *quite* so eye-gouging, but it does work very well, especially when contrasted with a darker background.

[@soulcatcher521]

Rather then superglue, if you use pvc cement, it actually is a solvent for the pvc, and will weld the parts together, turning them into one piece of plastic. Basically by being a solvent, as the solvent evaporates, it lets the two pieces of plastic re-polymerize into one piece.

[@MrFutsy]

This saved the day! I've 3d printed some keys as a prop to hand out to the players. I wanted them to be rusty and was at my wits end trying to get rust. THANKS SOOO MUCH

[@johnkelley9877]

I like the rust and water effect a lot. The whole diorama looks really good.

[@theDMsCraft]

Super cool man.

[@vodkast]

I love everything about this build. It taught me a ton of new techniques I need to go immediately apply to my next one. Thanks Wyloch!

[@VikingFyre]

Hey Wyloch, you can black bomb pvc with regular paint. Just buff the surface with a scour pad and use DM Scotty approved cheap black paint. Another trick I learned while doing cosplay work is apply a think layer of spray glue and don't let it air dry. Creates a texture on then pipes that look like the pitting in old metal

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks

[@jenniferw8963]

Thanks. Just ordered the Acrylic Water Kit from Walmart with free local pickup. WIll have in about a week. Can't wait to try it for my water pools in cavern terrain.

[@jerryhensley6255]

This is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much brother

[@matthewaugust3287]

This is absolutely awesome! Thanks for the video.

[@Izlude84]

I know it shouldn't bother me but the fact that you left the plastic sticker on the front of the fan is killing me. Great video, I am going to the plumbing store tomorrow lol

[@e.lundbom4578]

That is fantastic work, thanks for the inspiration!

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@madzen112]

It's always great when you get to use that flourescent toxic green paint can

[@jenniferw8963]

Wow Wyloch, that looks AMAZING! Watched the entire video.. learned some things. Gonna try the wet blending some time as well as dry brushing extra layers.

[@WylochsArmory]

Dig it

[@turkeyboy6133]

Whylock what is the paint mixer you used

[@carlmayne3519]

Awesome ... This video's pretty old now so I'm sure you've already figured this out, but adding a touch of colour to that resin mix would have made the piece look even better ... I'll be giving this a shot sometime soon .. along with your trenches that I also love :D

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@B1g-G]

I used this method to make a rusted up chemical plant.thanks for the inspiration.

[@hufferou812]

Great video, keep up the great work!

[@savagex466-qt1io]

This guy ! Hes amazing at makeing the vid and its easy to follow looks awsome to thanks so much

[@kharnethebetrayer4125]

Realy enjoyed that.great work😊

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@lawcreations6805]

Awesome video, thanks!!

[@GALAXIE67]

That looks Awesome!!👍☯️👍

[@barriball28]

fantastic. totally doing this

[@harlandmountain7998]

Very nice sir. And if you find Super Glue isn't holding your pips together all that well (not all superglues are created equal, after all), you can take some cardstock and roll so it fits the inside diameter and glue it that way, so you have more surface area. Also, you should sand the surfaces you are gluing with rough sandpaper. A rougher textures means more surface area for the glue to grab a hold of. I've also seen good use of hotglue on the seams to create the illusion of leaking pipe fittings (just make sure you only apply the glue to what will be the bottom of the seam)

[@GradualGhost]

I may have to steal your rust kit for future use. That just turned out too good.

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

I've been using a slightly dull X-Acto blade to bevel my bases. It makes it jagged, which I really like since I make outdoors bases. (Plus I'm not allowed to use a hobby/box cutter knife since I'm accident prone.)

[@joemama7528]

Amazing. Subscribed.

[@MiniWarzone]

This is really cool. Subbed :)

[@RussNo1]

Groovy, man

[@OverlordOfEcchi]

I'm totally going to try this using straws. I've wanted to make a sewer setting for a while.

[@adamwelch4336]

Im going to use this for my gamma world games!

[@joehayward4545]

Very good work. I think that would look fabulous in a table top rpg of gamma world or cyber punk.

[@WylochsArmory]

joe hayward thanks for watching!

[@jenniferw8963]

I have a fan sitting next to my table as well :) I just have to remember to turn it off while I painting because it dries out the paint palette quickly as well :)

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Very cool indeed, best rust i've seen. Would this work aswel if you change the silver with a (any type of color actualy) color paint to achieve this result on a rusted car?

[@AzraelThanatos]

One thing that might work better for the sludge would be to simply use one of the colored hot glue sticks and use that to work it in. Perhaps with some clear, round beads attached to the bottom of the pools as well to make them look like they're bubbling. Then tint them with a run of the cheap "stained glass" paints.

[@joebonar]

I dunno if you'd be interested in trying this out with another piece some time, but might I offer a suggestion: Rather than painting the whole bottom of the sludge pit the neon green, you could paint it with a darker green, and then heavily dry brush on the neon over that, then add your acrylic water, and then create a neon wash over it (or since it's acrylic water add some of that neon paint to the acrylic water to stain it) so that it's still transparent. The way you made it looks good, don't get me wrong, I was just offering a suggestion that worked for me when I was making a river that ran through a forested area on a board I made. Though, I painted the river-bed, then laid beads of hot glue so that the river would look like it had current (didn't use the acrylic water, basically), then I coated it in a couple different blue washes (some parts where the water was a little more still, like in little rocky alcoves from the main current I added some green, the deeper parts of the river a hint of black to darken the blue), then covered the whole river in a semi-diluted glue wash so that it filled in some of the gaps, then brushed on another thin blue wash over that. Great idea using the plastic slip fittings to make industrial pipelines, that's very cool. Seems to me they'd be pretty good if you could paint them to look like laid stone to give you some good gaps under short bridges (at least if your base goes deep enough you could bury the remainder or if you could cut them in half along the length to get two half-pipes).

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks for all those ideas!

[@colostomybaguette6122]

It would have been cool if you added a darker green to the sludge and swirled it a little and then added dark green/brown together and dabbed the edges of the dirt so that it looks like the dirt absorbed some. Also adding a rusted corroded grate to the end of the pipe would have been cool

[@thisgirlrocks6469]

Wow what a great camera

[@idontwanttopickone]

Acetone on foam board = here's to killing brain cells! Obviously do this outside, if at all and don't breath while doing it. OR just cut out the pool, texture/flock it all and do the liquid effects with cheap Epoxy Resin or PVA mixed with paint.

[@Brickerbrack]

Oh dear, someone has the butterfingers... :p

[@WylochsArmory]

Haha yeah I noticed that after editing it.

[@idontwanttopickone]

You forgot to mention, shave off the logs from every pipe with a knife or sandpaper. Or cover them up "welded" or "bolted" on sheets of cardboard. Or you could sculpt little boxes on some of them to cover them up. Either way, you don't want to leave the logos visible.

[@gregwilkinson8127]

I've seen a few tutorials for making slime where they get Elmer's clear glue and mix food coloring into it would that be just as good as the green paint/epoxy resin combo that you used??

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Slime tends to shrink as it dries, and unless you plan on keeping it long term, you're better off buying premade slime from etsy or other stores. The stuff is finicky as all hell. I tried using one of the Elmer's slime kits and it made a firm, irritating mess. Definitely get some slime from Michael's, during Halloween you can get some AWESOME green slime.

[@jlpytlewski]

First time I ever saw someone use a contact case as a pallet...lol.

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

its a great idea!

[@jessehughes019]

I'm not playing any games in which this would be remotely appropriate but it's so cool I want to do it anyway. Maybe I'll make a display for Ninja Turtle figures.

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin

[@AllAroundFlight]

Hey Wyloch, what kind of mixing containment is that u had were u mixed the colors? Does it really keep the colors from drying out? Even Citadel Colors from my warhammer pieces seem to dry out always :(

[@WylochsArmory]

It's my wife's old contact lens holder. Yes, it keeps the mixed paint wet for storage.

[@AllAroundFlight]

awesome, have steal some from my girlfriend now :D

[@jerryhensley6255]

Well I'm kind of want to know what you used to have the toxic waste spout out?

[@kylesilk403]

That's what I was wondering?

[@Cheesedtomeetyou92]

for some reason my acetone is not melting my foam from the ready board

[@larspodieczny3165]

Where did you get the green paint ?

[@davengreen8927]

Are the water affects optional? Or is there an alternative

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

clear cauking?

[@charlesdobbs7585]

Do they still sell the Acrylic Water Kit? I can't seem to find that brand on amazon.

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Walmart has it. Try them.

[@charlesdobbs7585]

@@AFarmerCalledChicken Is it in he art and supply area where all the hot glue and such is?

[@adventurecraftterrain]

Just starting my own youtube channel, heavily inspired from whylock

[@fatmandoingstuff3786]

Lightly sand the PVC and it will take craft paint ok. I would prime but if you are not going to be handling these pieces a lot you can get away without it.

[@madzen112]

Don't skip the drip!

[@JeffDrennen]

you know you can also buy chipboard from Amazon as well.

[@WylochsArmory]

Sure can

[@davengreen8927]

What if you don't have chip board?

[@WylochsArmory]

daven Green Are you in a region where Amazon does not deliver?

[@davengreen8927]

Wyloch's Crafting Vids I need local as the gm is trusting me to get it in soon.

[@davengreen8927]

I also do not have pure acetone

[@WylochsArmory]

A good substitute is framing matt. So if you go the crafting store, there's usually a huge section for picture frames. Near the picture frames you will see a selection of matts, often with a rectangle cut out of the middle. But there's almost always uncut, full sheets. They're about 1/16" thick. And you can usually find a big sheet, like 20" x 30". That stuff is almost identical to chipboard in terms of durability, strength, and ease for cutting.

[@WylochsArmory]

Walmart. Near cosmetics. Nail polish remover. Ideally you get 100% pure acetone, but most nail polish removers are nearly 100%.

[@Ivonne234]

subtitulos en español por fabor

[@stormy7722]

Ok video. I cant understand why u focused so much on the blending of the earth colors, but did nothing to shade/highlight the toxic green

[@WylochsArmory]

Because I'm still very much an amateur sharing my learnings with other amateurs. And I was happy enough with the look as it was.

[@greenbananas5385]

Are you Canadian? Dollar Tree is Canadian isn't it?

[@WylochsArmory]

US. They're probably also in Canada though.

[@someguycamping9972]

That pipe gave me tetanus just looking at it... and it's PLASTIC. All jokes aside, that rust effect was amazing. Definitely stealing.

[@johnkelley9877]

I like the rust and water effect a lot. The whole diorama looks really good.

[@WylochsArmory]
