So awesome to see how you created this little masterpiece! This is exactly the kind of thing I created Slice & Slot for. Thanks again for testing out the system!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thank you for sending me some test pieces to play with. I feel honoured to be included in the KZbinrs using Slice & Slot 😁

[@B4MBI72]

Backed Alberts Kickstarter and got my files last week, now I need to get building!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

They soooo good! What are you going to build first? I’d recommend starting with a ruin just to get a handle on how it all works 😁

[@xEzekielx1]

The slice and slot system looks like a great combination of the weight and price of xps foam, with the detail of resin prints. Nice work!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yeah man it’s a great idea. The kick starter is going off too which is great!

[@johnmudd6453]

Superb , one of the best tutorials I have seen !

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Wow, thanks! Cheers for watching John 😁

[@sirfatant]

That's so cool. I need to make a ruined church for my Skeletons. This would be a great way to design the structure.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Cool! Good luck!

[@DashingSwordsman]

That looks incredible! Glad to have backed the Kickstarter - thanks for demonstrating it so well! And thanks for the link to the matte sealant video - that's new to me, and looks like a great idea!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching!

[@twinklecave9475]

Amazing work, really inspiring me to work on my own terrain pieces again.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hey thanks for that! It’s great for me to hear things like that, it goes a long way in terms of motivating me to keep making videos! 😊

[@oneeyedgodless]

I've never backed a kickstarter project faster than this one. Its going to go excellently with a bunch of terrain I'm already working on!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Wow that's awesome mate! 😁

[@kelisoccan9095]

Well done...very great building👍🏻. Where do you buy the plastic door or the plastic windows ?I think It's awesome to add with foam part

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks buddy! They’re on Kick Starter and they’re called Slice & Slot. There’s a link in my description 😊

[@reddogterrain]

What a neat system.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yeah man! It’s pretty great. I’m glad to see it’s doing so well 😊

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Top tier intro man hahaha. Looks incredible as always. Love the modularity of the kit can build almost anything you want!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yeah man it’s an awesome system. Makes it soooooo easy!

[@thefiresofmordor6407]

Legend mate. Half expected there to be inbuilt smoke machine and lights into the terrain but looks amazing. I am going to find the kickstarter and support it right now. These look so good and versatile for terrain making. Great work as always mate.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha one day maybe! I’d actually like to get into wiring up some LEDs for some of my builds. Will have to up skill otherwise I’ll probably end up burning my terrain 😂

[@thefiresofmordor6407]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes well it will have one hell of an effect. Make sure you don’t miss the shot. I’d suggest ruins of dale under attack from Smaug for a burning building diorama. Might be hard to reuse. It looks amazing regardless. Do you know what the equivalent is of what you had in the kickstart?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Ooh yeah that would be cool. Hella expensive though! I was actually thinking about recreating the scene where the witchking lands on Minas tirith and blasts Gandalf’s staff. The kick starter is “Slice & Slot” I’ve seen other similar ones but not with the same level of detail and the genius idea of having the slot to hide your cut.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

@@thefiresofmordor6407 Umm it was pretty similar to the Ruins Starter Set - Physical Pledge.... I think

[@thefiresofmordor6407]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes sorry for the misunderstanding. Was the kit you got sent the “initiate crafter - ruins starter set”? It looks ideal

[@greghemington2655]

Looooove the smoke effects, you're really stepping it up a notch!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it!

[@asdigitalstudio3268]

Bonjour, magnifique travail ! Comment avez-vous fait le sol ? Merci

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hey there, thanks! I used a textured roller and filler. I show how in the video 😁

[@kennygpokerstrategy4917]

insane build man. Love it and can't wait to try out some of my own. Can't wait for the battle report :)

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching dude!

[@jamesb4648]

Another amazing build

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks James! 😁

[@TommyRigginsNC]

What is the work light you are using there?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

I’ve got some stage lights which I used for the moody shots and I have a decent LED photography light.

[@looselycollected7505]

Love the idea of this parts set up. I'm hopefully going to back it when I get paid in a couple of days.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Nice! Yeah it’s definitely an idea that deserves success in my opinion. 😁

[@brianv769]

That looks great! Thanks for the video.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching Brian!

[@hunsler1006]

They're awesome, can't wait to get my hands on some

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yeah they’re amazing! Very reasonably priced too.

[@poornerdmakesthings3135]

Chur brother! This video is dope.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Chur chur thanks a lot my bro! 😁

[@elfmix]

Great to see a fellow Kiwi making great terrain - subscribed cheers!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks buddy! Where in NZ are you from?

[@elfmix]

Also may I ask where you get 10mm foam? Bunnings used to have the thicker xps but that seems to come and go. 10mm would be handy.

[@elfmix]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes sweet as, I'm in Northland.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

So that foam was actually sent to me along with the slice and slot pieces. I do slice 10mm sheets out of thicker xps with my proxxon hot wire cutter though. Yeah it’s a real shame that Bunnings no longer supplies xps! I’m looking to get a merchant license for slice and slot and will be working on supplying the 10mm sheets alongside so watch this space! 😁

[@elfmix]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes Yeah I'd like a proxxon table at some point, I have the proxxon handheld with the bendable wire, not too bad at all, I shall watch this space - cheers :)

[@Artmesa]

ALWAYS WEAR A MASK WHEN USING TILE GROUT! If I knew how awful the dust is, I would have never bought the stuff for crafting. A fine solution is to premix it with PVA+water. But then again, there are better things to use instead; like coconut fiber for example. Great build by the way!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Absolutely, wearing a mask is important! Thanks for watching 😁

[@irtehdar2446]

Video title: how to make terrain... Video content: buy it...

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

You think I should change the title?

[@Nat1videos]

Lovely piece of scatter terrain! Those slice and slot are genius aren't they!! I have the STLs also, hoping to get a little build in with them soon :)

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Hey man thanks! I’ll look forward to seeing that! I absolutely loved your build for tubertown, found your channel through zorp’s Minas tirith video and love your content man 😁

[@Nat1videos]

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes ahh nice one man, that’s so cool! Yeah I found you through ZZ also.. enjoyed your battle vs Lachlan at the tournament that was fun! Finding more middle earth channels recently and it makes me happy 😁

[@-moongorilla-]

Bit late to the party, but great ruins, great video, and great product idea. Would love to see slice and slot expand to other styles like 40k Gothic, Tudor, etc

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

That would be cool! I know that Microforge Minis are keen to expand to other areas of Middle Earth so you never know your luck. Maybe one day 40k....

[@ryansergeant862]

great build!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

I'm glad you like it

[@rDunfee]

Excellent video! Would be great for a ton of skirmish games

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks Ryan! Yeah I’ll mostly be using it for MESBG but could even work for Star Wars Legion or historics 😁

[@jeffholt9437]

Looks good!

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks 😁

[@1UP_JAC]

Damn is there any late pledges? im sad i missed this

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Not sure actually. You can contact him through Microforge Minis on Instagram

[@soledude]

👍👍👍

[@StudioValerioSalvi]

Before the matte sealer what do you have sprayed?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Isopropyl alcohol

[@needlesbeckett]

Another great stream, thank you 🙏

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Glad you enjoyed it Andy!

[@kapitihobbies9360]

Nice job mate.

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Cheers Scott!

[@AlexScheidmann]

Hello really nice. I like your Chanel. I have subscribe your Chanel! I love landscape modelling. Greetings from Switzerland Alex 🤗🤗🤗👍👍

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks so much my friend! 😊

[@AlexScheidmann]

You are welcome. I have also a nice Chanel. Greetings from Switzerland Alex 🤗👍

[@markhanson9508]

love the video. What type of foam is that? Can you buy it at that width?

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks buddy! The foam is XPS and Albert sent it to me cut like that. I think he's been cutting it especially for his kickstarter. Its simple enough to do with a hot wire cutter like proxxon.

[@exteriorcobra1575]

Pva glue works well but I found that woodglue works well too and it hardens into a plastic that can be sanded

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Yeah nice, cheers

[@giovannizotti8549]

Awesome job, better watching it listening to Dragonforce, Blind Guardian, Manowar, Hammerfall, Rapsody of Fire, Gloryhammer...

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Haha cool, if only I could use that stuff but alas, copyright gets in the way!

[@eprohoda]

Friend. perfect channel. goodnight, )

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Very kind thanks!

[@ecMonify]

i honestly fail to see the point of this system, eventhough it does look very neat and well made. i make foam-terrain because i don't have a 3d-printer. if i had a 3d-printer - which is required for this system - i would just print entire buildings, rather than make parts of them out of foam. and people with 3d-printers, would you really like to buy a foam-cutter just to make the walls, when you... have a... 3d-printer..? :P again, i fail to see the point :D

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

I get what you’re saying. Thing is you can actually buy the printed pieces if you don’t have a 3D printer. If you do have a printer, the advantage of XPS is the creative freedom you get with it. Unless you’re savvy with 3D modelling you’re restricted by what designs are available to print. With this system you can make whatever you want! 😁 All good though each to their own 😊

[@wendyhague9938]

A lot of effort into both your ruins and your cool video…

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks! 😊

[@MrWood-nc3bt]

As I saw Microforge on Insta, I asked myself how it could be used in the process of building terrain. So this video is perfect to answer my questions. Again a very good video 👍🏻

[@dicedrinksanddadjokes]

Thanks for watching buddy! 😊
