Making My Own Ruined Zone Mortalis Table for Necromunda and 40k | Pt 1

Hive Secundus time! And were bootleggin warhammer kits to do it, but for the right reasons (I promise)

Another video in a couple more days?

[@wittlegoblin]

let's gooooooo

pwetty pwease

[@max-from-the-mini-mines]

yeeeees

[@pt1457]

6 ft?! The hell with 40k, play Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis on it. There's Xenos rules out there if you and friends don't just want to play with imperium. Look up the Badab War PDFs for Heresy if you haven't already. :)

[@Maacckk]

inject it into my veins

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

it is not the pipe that bends, it is only yourself.

[@SimplePhill]

there is no pipe.

[@chrisantzaras]

@@SimplePhill You guys just made me laugh out loud for real :)

[@banishedpest115]

A little birdy told me there is actually a rodent in Trent's hair that guides him from craft to craft masterfully like ratatouille.

[@Miscast]

🤫its a possum

[@vectorshaman338]

For me, its a trash panda. Raccoon.

[@TJtheBee]

Maybe the real Ratatouille was the friends we made along the way.

[@Bobdd0]

Craftatouille

[@thomaskaracwilson]

Man the concepts in this are applicable to so many different types of builds. I love to see how useful the alginate molds have been, they seem like a good place to start as someone with little mold making experience

[@Miscast]

totally! this material has unlocked so much potentional. its super affordable here in bulk so ive been using it for heaps.

[@questsquills]

I'm working on a dreamscape/Dali inspired board at the moment, and alginate has been perfect for moulding my daughter's hands and fingers for some extra creepy rocks etc. I just need to find a way to get paint to stick to casting resin now.

[@deepseaminingsyndicate]

HECK YA! We are SO back!!

[@Miscast]

SO BACK

[@gavinbaker7421]

What absolutely blows my mind with these videos is how willing this guy is to show us his mistakes and when things go wrong, which makes the moments where it works even more awesome to appreciate. Between this and the mould your own models video, I feel for the first time that I could actually follow through the advice given on a youtube video and make something simmilar to what I have seen in said video. Long story short, I've now subscribed as a result. Keep going you wonderful mad lad!

[@tofu3833]

YIPPIE MISCAST VIDEO

[@MrTonypace]

A few process tips from someone who's worked this angle: Alginate is really annoying in heat. Better is gelatin with PVA glue, which I got from a cosplay forum. It's pretty strong, and while it can be a little sticky in details, it holds its general shape well. I think I used about 25% PVA glue? Silicone sealant from the tube mixed with naphtha is probably the best budget option, but there are some issues. First is that the mold will shrink (I got about 1/3 shinkage from a pourable mix), and maybe warp some. The second is that it stinks terribly while the naphtha is outgassing. The third is that it all takes a long time - maybe 2 weeks. But it makes nice and durable molds for a bargain price. Love the prepainting of molds, will have to try that.

[@Miscast]

Cant wait to try these things! Thankyou

[@Icharus18]

Your determination for creation, and true joy you share for art is a sight to behold. Everything you do, success or not, drives me to take the chance and create, because it’s always better than the alternative. Thanks, mate!

[@smilemore7431]

Miscast, you are my favorite space wizard.

[@summonlessermaker]

The mesh for plaster casting is such a cool idea! I could cast my cobblestone roads then have it conform to an uneven surface! Thanks for the endless inspiration 👍

[@Miscast]

I thought the exact same! 100% doing this with a future mordheim table

[@RobertTomsons]

I love the try and error chapters for the video story.

[@Miscast]

part of the process!

[@mikai5603]

IM MAKING MY FIRST MEK28 MINIATURES!!!!! Thanks for inspiring me and giving me back my love for making model stuff again.

[@Miscast]

YES LETS GOOOOO I love Mek28

[@simoncorn1151]

The first ever miscast video i've watched was 40k terrain terraforming, it's really nice to see it again

[@SirWilliamtheBold]

There was this meme I saw like 3 weeks ago about how happy you are when your favorite youtuber finally uploads and I thought of you.

[@BadgerBishop]

I want you to know that I LOVE that you're so haphazard with your art and you still put your chemicals in a fireproof cabinet.

[@wilhelminiatures6905]

Great project! I've been considering making some space-ship themed terrain lately, and this would be a great approach.

[@aavaataar9618]

Hey, just wanted to say that I really appreciate these videos showing your experiments with casting things. Seeing you getting so much use out of alginate made me realize how approachable molding and casting *can* be, especially when I realized that one of my friends has a bunch left over from a failed project that she desperately wants to be rid of! I bought one of your nurgle toads several years ago intending to learn how to mold and recast minis, but between life and school I haven't been able to find the time or money to learn how to do things "properly". Your recent videos have A) shown me other, more-approachable (to me) ways to start making stuff, and B) served as a way for me to already start building a sense of what might and might not work, saving some effort and avoiding hiccups that might have derailed me. I will most likely be picking up my friend's leftover mold-making materials today, and your videos have been the spark I needed!

[@Bobdd0]

I am so glad you've broken me off the thought process "just print it all". The moldmaking and casting is so cool and there are so many interesting things that it can add to your toolbox! Like those freaking pipes! They came out close to perfect imo! I've seen crunpled pipes that size before and they fit very well

[@thatnvcdm]

Multiple Miscast videos in mere days?! It's like Christmas came early!

[@TJtheBee]

My dude! 22 minutes feels like so long and yet not long enough. I cannot WAIT for the next part. :D

[@dartmart9263]

Dampen (dip in water, squeeze out excess) a couple of sheets of paper towel and cover the alginate mould, to keep it from drying. You could even put the mould and the damp paper towels into a gallon size zip loc bag.

[@ymishaus2266]

10:50 The Australian urge to wobbleboard

[@Miscast]

hahhahah my intrusive thoughts make sense now

[@kendo5862]

😂

[@AwakeGodnt]

dude!! melting that pipe mold into a curve is genius! great video

[@AwakeGodnt]

oh and another idea that may or may not be useful to you, but you could consider painting resin onto the solid pieces so that it looks like its dripping and melting. I find that this clogs a lot of detail if youre not careful but it can look pretty cool with a lot of layers!

[@mynamejeffxdddd7851]

We must be in a Renaissance of Miscast vids to get so many in a row

[@dontletmebrewthat]

Thanks for showing your mistakes, and especially how you move forward from them. It's nice to see how things are created despite setbacks

[@frankiecellist]

your enthusiasm is so infectious, loving watching this come together!

[@val4238]

really excited too see the way all the drestruction corrosion and griddyness works out when its painted. amazing Project!

[@dartmart9263]

This brings to mind an old Spanish saying … “lo barato sale caro” Going cheap will cost you

[@carnosaur93]

This looks amazing, iam a huge fan of the crusty beaten up industrial look, and taking advantage of the flaws of moldmaking to get that look is honestly genius... i honestly had some doubts at first with the pipes until i saw the first of those floor tiles and then it just all clicked that this was gunna get very good. i also love the prefab walls with room predesigned for greeblies, that is a very good idea.

[@daili4917]

Ah this is lovely, learning what happens when you put expanding foam on everything - very fun! I have that onyumaru (ehh, that thermal plastic) and I really should get it back in the kitchen - I should cast more.

[@martynjones3978]

Its fantastic to see you back into again, really missed seeing your creative enthusiasm ❤

[@Hill_Lite]

I've been working on the same project with the same R&D mindset, less molding (not quite got the space) but printing and crafting! And it's super cool seeing the parallel thinking on some ideas!

[@pez5767]

I always love seeing when the hobby-fuge is upon you, Trent. Also, great to see you taking care of yourself and getting some sleep during the flow state.

[@Durer1471]

Love seeing this project and how you’re always innovating. Would be amazing to see the final build!

[@voidhalation]

I wish I had your drive to deep dive into each and every discipline. As with everything, awesome work.

[@eastoforion]

dude this is such a cool table build hell yeah. love the cracked effect with the hessian!

[@treebongos4765]

Necromunda!!!!!! YEEEEESSSSS, this is an awesome idea and I hope to see this done for a full table!

[@vectorshaman338]

I have a spare roll of tpu pla laying around, never knew what I should do with it. This was inspiring.

[@Owitsch]

So cool! I am building my necromunda table out of an old dollhouse. You gave me even more ideas with your nice catastrophe! Thanks

[@BadDecisionDinosaur89]

This is looking incredible already

[@bruiser3616]

I love the style of editing on your recent videos so much

[@aglumm9469]

This is amazing. Great work!! Can’t wait to see it develop!!!

[@HanTyumi9]

What a glorious project, I love it!

[@chrisantzaras]

Very cool. Can't wait to see the rest of this journey.

[@zid_just_zid]

One can totally print molds for molds, i designed negative of a two part mold with built in registration, sprue between parts and pour/air gates. I did so in resin, just takes a couple of coats of varnish to make sure the silicone stays separate from the resin so it will set without getting the expensive kind. Then just pour in the silicone, wait for it to set and out one pulls the two sides of a mold that will match up perfectly without all the hassle of making a mold box, ive been told its called "match plates". It might not suit your style as its good for making lots of the same mold but if its for a part(s) you want to be casting many of it can let one make many molds quickly.

[@ManglingMinis]

I've got plans for a dark sci-fi table for the game Dark Object and this video is super inspiring for ideas on how to elevate it from a bunch of basic 3d printed bits to a really atmospheric ruins

[@J3Puffin]

This already looks so dope, very much looking forward to where this goes

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

What an epic vid. Love the modular panel idea

[@RosarioAFK]

Miscast Wardrobe always on point!

[@Gavpwn]

You inspire me to dive back into the hobby and experiment with different mediums every time you upload. Also love the Cool Shirtz, I have a vast collection myself!

[@Miscast]

Hell yeah!

[@saltfreegamer]

Awesome. This is such an old school Miscast video! Something to try with FDM prints for big panels - the first layer you print is usually the smoothest, and can pick up texture from the print bed. You can use that to your advantage by printing face-down. Requires some design forethought, but I bet it could work for Necromunda terrain. Good luck, looking forward to the next one!

[@Miscast]

I might try that! Thankyou!

[@jekster]

Looks sick. Excited to see this project.

[@jakelevinson7802]

I’m so excited about this project

[@PMCillustration]

Sick video Trent! Learned a heap for my first board build

[@halseypayne4249]

Always a cozy watch, thanks again ☺️

[@BernardMcManusProfile]

Necromunda! Can't wait to see how this goes

[@kristjanjohnson8053]

Bloody brilliant. This is very inspiring!

[@Mukenin90]

You promised and delivered! You go man 💪🏻

[@jamesrauch9103]

Had my concerns after you left the old studio.. glad to see you in high spirits.. Best of luck with your future endeavors..

[@Crust_Monster]

This is great! I can't wait to see the whole thing.

[@PKTCrafts]

Man! I wish I could paint some of those parts! Textures are looking amazing. Great video Trent 🤘

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Pretty cool. I haven’t taken the mold plunge yet, but will do so for my 3D printed terrain for the tiles.

[@0shlem0]

Wanting to use your tablesaw too early for the neighbors is relatable 😅.

[@whydotavi]

Necromunda content from my favourite Australian???!!! You spoil us Trent

[@joeyz.4767]

Thanks for your unfiltered, honest content. Always love your videos!

[@Miscast]

Thankyou!!

[@MagkeitoMaten]

I love everything you create! You pretty much do everything I wish to achieve in my hobby!

[@Miscast]

thankyou!! im trying to do as much as i can, heaps coming!

[@TheMiniMadCat]

Eyy! I'm making one too! Or finally finishing a project that's been collecting dust at least. Great stuff!!!

[@Miscast]

Lets goo!

[@Crushanator1]

Brewing up a Mordheim table atm and so much creative stuff from this series. Ive done a ton of table for GE over the years and theres some great stuff in here. Cant wait for more

[@marklindsey4112]

Oh damn! That's gorgeous.

[@ElvesofZion]

love the mix of techniques

[@lofiworkshop]

Another fun video full of creative tricks. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

[@Miscast]

thankyou J!

[@NinetaleHobbies]

Every day with a Miscast video is a good day.

[@EGMakes]

Oooo it’s going to be so good. Back to back videos too. You are killing it bud

[@Miscast]

Thanks Elle!

[@figureartout]

Its been a minute since i got suggested a video , nice to see some awesome content 😊

[@user-zt7ex6ce8g]

Lovely, my man!

[@manjr]

On bending pipes - you can chuck PLA parts in hot water and bend them. I do it with trees so that they aren't all identical.

[@VapeKidJr]

Im glad to see you fight against the same creative mania as me. I fabricate large puppets and I get too excited to sleep when im working on one

[@Xatxitor]

Happy to have you back, mate

[@Miscast]

Happy to be back

[@loveminis31]

Always interesting, never over done.

[@HobbyDad_dy]

I'm so goddamn hyped for this. Best KZbinr x Best Game (Necromunda)? I can already tell I'm gonna watch this video 100 times.

[@Miscast]

Thank you so much mate! And I cherish your model you made for me so much, its sitting on my shelf with pride.

[@qstionevrythng]

I'm stoked that necromunda is popping off. I just built my first gang and this video is giving me so much energy. You are such an impressive guy. Keep up the motivation, keep up the good work . Also, where do you buy your sweaters? Genuinely jealous of the wardrobe

[@Miscast]

cool shirtz!

[@xWellensittich]

always repping the coolshirtz while making the coolshitz, hell yeah!

[@cheeserdane]

My idea is to make a concrete outdoor gaming table with rocks and sand embedded into it already for terrain.

[@Miscast]

That is a very cool idea

[@Maxogravo]

Another vid? LETS GO!

[@chester1882]

Trent from Miscast? Nah - Trent from Recast :d

[@Corvuscraftminis]

This is amazing ! I need to try this material for a Mordheim/Warcry/Necropolis table ! \o/

[@st.eldritch7121]

Finally, someone who hates layer lines as much as I do

[@Slechy_Lesh]

Living up to your name!

[@bradycobb563]

When I get burnout, you bring me back.

[@thomaskaracwilson]

Miscast always provides.

[@Miscast]

🙏

[@gingerwhale871]

I love how you casually use a rare Gringots bit in your castbox :D

[@Miscast]

Gotta make molds in style

[@stephenx2857]

i would recommend gelatin molding. basically buy some glycerin from the drug store and reg everyday gelatin, makes a reusable mold agent (heat it in the microwave to liquify it, pour it, stick it in the fridge and... bingo mold) then you use acrylic resin. it's "cold curing" as opposed to the urethane resins that are hot. or give off a lot of heat. ...nail art. or hobby jewelry making kits sell the acrylic resin. can get it cheap. Is a great medium to do much cheaper casting.

[@williammitchell8798]

Return of the king

[@aqwbnt]

Keep up the grind! Love it.

[@d1turtlelunn569]

Amazing video, good to se you back in action. Also love your clothing style, any tips on were to get it? :D

[@Miscast]

cool shirtz!

[@Bluecho4]

Your board is looking so cool already. Properly dilapidated and ruined, as any good hive should be, Secundus or no. Desolate Beauty at its finest.

[@LiliaArmoury]

i've used that two part molding plastic to make molds of parts i needed when i was conversion building an entire sister of battle army before the plastic models existed. the stuff works well but you need to redo the molds after a few uses or the details get warped

[@pineconeduck]

Good stuff matey

[@Velasc]

where'd you get the milliput shirt ?

[@Miscast]

Its a bootleg from Tanner Simpson!
