Sands down the best desert terrain I've seen. Nice work, Dune! (All these puns make me both ill and happy at the same time.😬) FYI "Fender" washers are the ones with the smaller holes. Also, I find melting the spaces for the washers, magnets, pennies, etc with a hotwire 'pencil' (not sure what the attachment is called) easier than trying to carve out the space. YMMV. Cheers.

😂 I *drought* to take your feedback to heart--and I will! Yes! Another viewer let me know the same so I will make sure to mention that if I feature these fender washers in another video.

I think the white areas are caused by the grout being somewhat hydrophobic, it's probably repelling the top layer of paint off it on the first pass. I quick spritz of IPA over the grout might break the surface tension of the dry grout, and allow your paint to stay in place. Just a theory... I've found grout to be a bit finicky at times in my own work.

You know, it'd be really cool to see this sort of thing done with magnetic trees and red clay (and perhaps some sparse grass?) As to emulate the red bluffs you'd see in Mississippi, or the redwood forests of California. Or even the Australian outback!

I honestly buy mine off of ebay from different suppliers! But for sure placement is important to have as thin of material and distance between the magnets as possible. Also look for N52 rather than N35 or anything lower, as N52 is rated as the highest for magnetism. RP Archive also has links to suppliers through his videos. Thanks for your support btw, and I hope that helps!
