Making a Frozen Lake Tile

[@EaterOfLotus333]

Carl telling the viewer to be careful is so wholesome

[@TheLastRussianYT]

The UK housing crisis is so simple to solve. Just build more land tiles!

[@bvyup2112]

wait until we start getting chinese made land tiles

[@DJRockford83]

They do float 🤔

[@piraticalmoustache7181]

Where's the pine trees Carl? 5/10

[@TheLastRussianYT]

"It will really hurt and blood will go everywhere and you don't want that." I swear Carl was channeling his inner JerryRigEverything there 😂 can't put my finger on it.

[@linux5min]

He can start a thing by adding "Because that's what blood do" xD

[@mattjames6847]

your not a real hobbyist until you've put either a drill bit or a needle file through your finger

[@Y_KTM]

From "This week in stupid" to "This week in Warhammer" gotta lova it!

[@YourMissingEyeBrow]

Getting Art Attack vibes with this one. haha Dakka dakka

[@مغربية-ط5م]

My son and I will be starting painting together this weekend. No GW here but ordered online and ready to start my army devoted to Papa Nurgle!

[@jackwolfe338]

That was a good watch.

[@xMagnason]

Get a static grass layer, allows the grass to be layed standing up on end, looks more real.

[@DevilTiger000]

Ink from a crafts store is probably the best option to dye epoxy resin. For the diluted PVA, you can buy a cheap empty spray bottle and use that to spread it on your table, so you can use it to spray on your grass without risking disturbing it with a brush. Geek Gaming Scenics, even if the channel is dead, has some really good tutorials for wargaming terrain that always felt very achievable. And I think while the channel is dead, the store (located in UK) is still active. As others recommended, a heated cutting wire is great for this, can also let you cut hills that you can glue in your tiles to add relief. You can cut holes with it, but it's a bit awkward.

[@DJRockford83]

Contrast paint or wash does the job

[@JohnTCampbell1986]

Carl I have no knowledge of WH40k but I love this kind of content anyway. One of my favourite Lotus Eater segments as well was you saying "we need a whitepill" and giving us essentially a battle report (i think they're called in WH) of some battles you did with your son.. Hopefully more wholesome whitepill stuff is in the works. Also I dunno if you've tried it and it didn't work, but investing in a dremel (or similar unbranded tool, but dremel are really good and reasonable priced) might be worth the time saving. I've never used one on polystyrene but I imagine some of the attachments you can get would make very short work of that lake in a way the butter knife doesn't.

[@blueberrycheesecakesupremo7947]

A blowtorch is much faster and more realistic. Plus it seals the foam.

[@Toxic_0_]

Carl sounds like my mum telling me to be careful.

[@gvii]

One of these days I need to get off my dead ass and get back to making scenery again. And also paint my hordes of blueberries, Catachans, and huge pile of Heresy stuff I was suddenly compelled to amass last Christmas. Scenery is fairly easy to make pretty with not a ton of added effort. And a well adorned battlefield is incredibly satisfying.

[@BVargas78]

The eldar models look great! They do go well with the terrain.

[@egunter25]

ive been watching Carl for almost a decade now consistently in a political sense, im glad i found not political content as well lol

[@juhovuolinko6446]

This was a good step-by-step instruction for making a terrain tile, bookmarking it for a time when I may do similar terrain projects :D Have you thought about making more videos on how one can make terrain for 40k, 30k, Fantasy and other miniature games Carl? I have a hunch you could do an excellent (mini-)series of videos about that along with painting tips ;)

[@davidfenzl610]

Vallejo makes a clear water effect that comes in a 200ml bottle. You would have been able to see the bottom of the lake.

[@trillbill4028]

Hell yeah. Thanks brother 🫡 Would love MORE WARHAMMER CONTENT!

[@bobsteel1981]

Looks great. For cutting, look up Styrofoam cutting tools. You can get some that basically look like hoops of wire. That should make cutting out a centre easier.

[@jayc342009]

I love this type of content

[@SvendleBerries]

I dont know, Carl. Wont the blood just be an added, immersive aesthetic to your Warhammer board?

[@abrakadabra5134]

Try a spoon knife or hook knife to take out material. If you can do it outside, to avoid fumes, you could try a hot knife. This might make the cuts a bit too smooth so you will lose some of the effect maybe.

[@JesusFriedChrist]

I don’t need play models because my day to day experience looks like Hoth outside for half the year. Everything’s frosted over, 90% humidity with freezing fog, -20°C and then even worse with the windchill…

[@Reach4God1]

Butane torch would get you a lake hole in ~30s. Just gotta do it outside. It would also pop the resin bubbles without burning you.

[@DJRockford83]

A heat gun after that initial digging effort would also do the same

[@DJRockford83]

Play sand, super fine and available in smaller bags 😂 alternatively fetch a tub to the beach once a year 😉 Also using expensive mini paint instead of craft paint 😱 PS is that flock or static grass? There's quite a big difference

[@OvarianDespoilment]

Very useful! Absolutely lovely ❤

[@72ibises]

I used to run a LGS. You can spray spray paint onto polystyrene which causes it to melt. It’s very effective. Try it on a small piece, see what you think

[@cryhavoc196]

7:58 Dry brushing**. There ya go Mr Akkad

[@maddogmcgraw5987]

More of a pond than a lake... I'd give it a solid 5 outa 10... ;)

[@SinglemSolis]

You could use heat from a blow torch and instead of digging out the polysterene you could melt it.

[@poirob2]

Competition for The Golden Five sure is hotting up 5️⃣

[@blackrazorfilms]

Would love to hear you opinion on some of the Imperial Armour books and their associated campaigns and armies.

[@Kiki-hx2mp]

Have you a licence for that precision craft knife kit

[@patgray5402]

You interested in painting up some Warhammer Old World models?

[@TheInfiniteAmo]

If you don't want to burn yourself popping those resin bubbles, get a small heat gun. It'll do the same thing.

[@chrisk5011]

I have a weird feeling Carl cut himself many times doing this type of stuff...

[@Mick-f4e]

Hot wire cutter for cutting out that lake. Done in 2 mins

[@Chardor]

>"Hey neat a modeling tutorial" >Click on it >its carl Wut

[@sierraMaddin]

always do a test resin poor, i learned it the hard way too 😅

[@C0m3TSw1tch]

What exactly do people use to colour resin? I've seen people use paints or powdered stuff and drops but they never explain exactly what it is in the tutorials.

[@Darocfi]

Couldn't you hot knife/wire it for easier cutting?

[@ThePonderingoftheorb]

Possibly, but you are only cutting half way in, so I'm not sure.

[@DJRockford83]

You can get hooped hot wire cutter

[@Birkarl_]

lakes freeze from the outside in, yours is freezing from the center out???

[@AB-ik2nc]

I see someone is upping his game

[@thebritishgeek]

what would you say the total cost for materials this is?

[@ThePonderingoftheorb]

In total about £200, but that will make about half a dozen tiles.

[@CrownJules84]

Love it

[@jamtea573]

I assume the first time you call it "wetbrushing" you did mean drybrushing! 😅

[@ThePonderingoftheorb]

No, drybrushing is where you take most of the paint off the brush and then heavily apply it to the subject. Wet brushing is where you keep most of the paint on the brush and lightly apply it.

[@DJRockford83]
