Making terrain for Wargames with 15 mm figures

[@jameschaffee2871]

Relaxing music, no annoying voice overs, trial and errors shown, final results laid out... man... THIS IS HOW YOU DO A TERRAIN VIDEO PEOPLE!!!!

[@MinisMyWay]

Thank you very much! A very kind comment, I appreciate it.

[@justMikec]

Hey, those corkboard stone walls are a great idea! Normally, wargames walls like that are a little too thick. those look terrific. One quick suggestion regarding your hills. If you make them really irregular around the base, they can double for islands in your naval games. Just a thought. Well done.

[@MinisMyWay]

True, in 15mm the walls and other elements are usually too thick, and corkboard worked with a bit of art looks very good. Thanks for the suggestion with the hills, your comment has inspired me with the idea of ​​using putty to make removable waves... It just occurred to me, I have to try it. Thank you very much for your comment!

MAny ideas to pick up ! Cool video . Like the field bases and the woodland ones ! Bravo

[@MinisMyWay]

It's not as nice and detailed as your dioramas, but I needed something modular and resistant to be manipulated and above all, cheap and quick to build. Thanks for your comment, that's why I started the channel, to give and receive ideas! And really thanks to it I have met creators like you who give me a lot of ideas!

Wow! This is the best terrain tutorial video I've ever seen! Thanks so much for this, God bless my friend!👍

[@MinisMyWay]

Oh! I can't say it's a tutorial, I'm a newbie at this and I don't want to give lessons, but thank you very much for your appreciative comment!

[@Andrew-se4tg]

@@MinisMyWay well, you've done a great job! I've looking for a way to build dirt roads and stone walls for my 15mm American civil war/flames of war/team yankee miniatures for a while now. This video helped me to feel confident enough to start building them!👍🙂

[@MinisMyWay]

The difficult thing is to start, my project started with the idea of making just a few forests and in the end I was encouraged to do more things. I'm glad to have given you some ideas!

Brilliant job the terrain and the figures are excellent mate, cracking job

[@MinisMyWay]

Glad you like them!

[@stephenrenwick8781]

Great terrain. I really love those cork walls.

Thank you very much!

This was superb and I will use some of the approaches you took , great work!

[@MinisMyWay]

I'm glad you like it, I hope you find it useful. Thank you very much for commenting.

[@KimKhan]

The method of making the stone walls on that small scale is absolutely genius.

[@MinisMyWay]

Thank you very much, I hope you find it useful!

[@KimKhan]

@@MinisMyWay I have too many projects going on at once for comfort, but with any luck, I will find the cheapest and most clever way of making stuff. This video will go in my list of references, for sure.

[@stepickstock]

That is a bloody good looking table! I just got hold of some 15mm figures (haven't bought any in years) and need to start thinking about terrain for them. This gave me some really good ideas - the cork walls being one of them. Thank you.

Quantes idees en tan poc temps. Moltes gràcies!. Només per afegir informació... la pintura que faig anar per manualitats-escenografia l'acostumo a comprar (quan m'escapo a Barcelona) en alguna botiga de belles arts. Acostumen a ser més barates que les dels xinos i, en principi, potser millors... clar que el xino el tenim tots a la cantonada de casa i quan fa falta...😀

[@MinisMyWay]

Gràcies a tu! És veritat que a les botigues de Belles Arts tenen tot de coses que ens farien servei, fins i tot n'hi ha artistes com el Marco Frisoni que fan servir pintures de Belles Arts en comptes de pintures de miniaturisme, que no es limiten a posar un nom més o menys enginyós, si no que a més indiquen la fòrmula dels colors que les composen, per exemple.

[@thewannabepainter]

This has way to many clicks! Great terrain! Maybe this will push me tontry it myself. You could left the cracks in the stone unfilled. Looks like lightning struck the stone🤔😅

[@MinisMyWay]

Well, it's a good point of view, to take advantage of the flaws to obtain new effects. Thanks for your comment!

No se como llegué a tu canal, pero te has ganado un suscriptor nuevo. Excelentes recomendaciones, sobre todo para abaratar costos (y más en estos tiempos pospandemia en que nos andamos recuperando económicamente). Como dice la frase: Bueno, Bonito y Barato.

[@MinisMyWay]

Me encanta que te hayan gustado. Además de ahorrarnos un dinerito (que invertiremos inevitablemente en comprar más moñecos 😋) es muy satisfactorio hacerte tú mismo las cosas que necesitas y personalizarlas a tu gusto ¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario y tu suscripción!

Great video. BTW, shouldn't it be the "1 euro store"?

[@MinisMyWay]

XD Actually, here in Spain they are called "todo a cien" (all for a hundred), which no longer makes sense since the Euro replaced the pesetas, and the expression "Todo a 1€" has not been successful and is hardly used at least in my area. We also call them "el chino" (the Chinese) because they are usually run by citizens from China. I do not know the expression used in other countries, not even how it is said in other European countries, so I hope that "a dolar store" can be understood everywhere. This is something that intrigued me when I was editing the video, so I would appreciate comments telling me what it is called in your countries, just out of curiosity and for being able to name it so that it can be understood in other videos. Thanks for your comment and your observation!

Molt interessant, la pistola de masilla acrilica ,si fa dies que no la utilitzes no s' asseca?

[@MinisMyWay]

Doncs no porta cap tap, i tampoc he pogut treballar cada dia, així que li embolicava la punta amb cinta aïllant i em van aguantar un parell de setmanes sense problemes. Més temps no sé que dir-te, però em va costar 2 ó 3 € el pot, tampoc seria una gran pèrdua. Gràcies pel comentari!

[@johnmitchell9000]

Please tell us what Dollar store you found that nice felt gaming mat. I would love to see it with a little dry brushing on it.

[@MinisMyWay]

Well, I'm in Spain, the kind of low-priced store here may not have the same products in your country. I found it in a Chinese bazaar, a friend found it some time ago at LIDL...I found this in Amazon Spain quite a bit more expensive than the one I got, but it looks exactly the same: www.amazon.es/casa-diferentes-alfombra-artificial-revestimiento/dp/B00W9OJX3U/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=moqueta+verde&qid=1669767657&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjI1IiwicXNhIjoiNS4wMSIsInFzcCI6IjIuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-13 It's on Amazon Spain, but maybe with these clues you can locate it in your region, I hope so.

Where does one get 15mm figs like that

[@MinisMyWay]

The ones seen in the video are mainly from Legio Heroica www.legio-heroica.com/ The bad news is that the website has been "temporarily" closed for almost two years. There are other brands that offer similar figures of this era, I for example have used those of Lancer Miniatures lancerminiatures.com/product-category/18mm-war-spanish-succession/ and Khurasan Miniatures khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/marlburian.html that combine quite well with those of Legio Heroica. I buy them on their websites. Thanks for your comment!
