Junkyard / Wasteland Trash Piles - POST APOCALYPTIC Terrain Tutorial [EP 1]

[@Falvodor]

Thats some good looking trash!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you :)

Other materials that could add texture/detail to the junk piles: -Beads (various sizes/shapes); good for spark plugs, tin cans, small wheels, or glued to other objects to simulate non-specific mechanical greeble -Dry Spaghetti; cut into various lengths for rebar/pipe, spent shell casings, door/hatch handles, etc. -Patterned scrapbook paper (come in many colors and patterns); glue it to sheets of cereal box card stock, then cut or rip off into old flooring or wall paneling (if you've ever replaced a floor or wall, you know how much of that gets sent to the dump; bonus points if it's some disgusting puke yellow color from the seventies) -Cereal card itself; cut into tiny squares and stack them like discarded floor/roof tiles; cut holes out of it to create window or door frames (bonus if you glue clear plastic on one side, preferably with pieces missing so it looks like broken glass) -Paper clips; coiled around a pen to create a spring, jutting from the mound like rebar, bent into shape of bicycle frame or post-modern chair -Sewing thread; glue down onto surfaces like tangled wire, or tied around objects like rope

[@hauntswargaming]

Those are some good suggestions! Some jewelry bits and ornate beads would be nice to have on hand. I'd like to get some patterned crafting scissors so I can cut designs into any type of paper.

also chunks of old sprue. i've got some cheap fly swatters with handles that look exactly like i-beams and the swatting bit has a great grid texture on it (we use all parts of our prey like our forefathers did)

[@Bluecho4]

@@chrispowell2947 I'm gonna need to look out for some fly swatters like that.

[@rubenmahrla9800]

@@chrispowell2947 This. I collect all little bits and pieces that drop down from forming pieces for terrain and vehicle parts into a ziplock bag.

The claaaaamps

[@Zebamunda]

They're phenomenally good!

Thanks!

[@BarbarianBristle]

These are glorious. Currently building wasteland terrain of my own.

[@hauntswargaming]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@rosascreativeworks5403]

Wow, that's crazy cool! 😎

[@hauntswargaming]

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@MrJoshuakirk85]

Looks good, the overall effect is spot on.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks!

[@Ixbpoqdxl]

The mod podge and ink oil spills are a fantastic idea. Nice build.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! It also helped hide the gap in the "pipe" :p

[@Bobdd0]

i love these projects, and your flourishes when showing off your bits! very silly

[@pogocoop]

Looking great! Like your editing, also.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks :)

[@EssexBoyz]

Very cool mate. Love the look 😃👍🏼💚

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you :)

[@ricks5756]

In my experience, baking soda bleeds through the paint and glue, creating a white-ish water stain on top of washes and other effects. I personally use fine sand.

[@powersave2]

Fun vid!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks!

[@jtrow5023]

Thanks! I appreciate the support!

[@creaturescavernscrafting2929]

An excellent use of random bits. These trash piles are perfect! Subbed =)

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks man :)

[@philipsimonds8088]

When “your diorama looks like trash” gets taken as a compliment.

[@hauntswargaming]

@@philipsimonds8088 haha

[@metalman895]

Oooh I should make some of tgese

[@georgemartinezjr]

Awsome work What Brand of paint and Brushes you use

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! For terrain I usually use cheap craft paint and I don't really have a specific brand of brushes that I use.

[@EryxUK]

Not being a DIY type person, what is the base material you use? Is it just expanding foam? I'd love to make something like this for my abandoned mining colony table for 40K.

[@hauntswargaming]

For this one I used layers of foam board. If you have a jigsaw, 1/8in mdf or tempered hardboard is great too. The expanding foam probably wouldn't warp those, but I haven't tested that

[@EryxUK]

@@hauntswargaming thank you

[@georgemartinezjr]

Do you ever make your own Sculpting Tools

[@hauntswargaming]

I tend to use whatever is lying around

[@georgemartinezjr]

Do you ever use Milliput or something like it

[@hauntswargaming]

Yea sometimes. I like air dry clay for terrain because it's cheaper
