I literally just painted my first rubber battle mat and wondered how I could make some quick ruins... The timing is amazing. Edit: Yup, definitely going to make these!

[@aegrisomnia]

This is the rubber mat revolution!!!!

[@tragonius]

as someone who's toddler is quickly pulling apart all his papercraft buildings, the idea of rugged/fast/cheap terrain speaks to me on a spiritual level great video, jeremy!

[@Bloodray19]

I would put those away from the child. Their actions are not justifiable just because they're a toddler. Show him, who's the boss

[@erictripps125]

pro tip buy your toddler a ton of wooden blocks. In 2 years you're going to have a bunch of wooden blocks to add to your terrain.

[@sammcclintock9084]

I found out if you do this with the paper left on, you can pull it off after and you are left with a rubberized piece of paper you can wrap around cylindrical shapes. Wizard tower bricks!

[@Blandco]

"Father cruelly destroys child's precious artwork to furnish his Mancave."

[@xPBMxRickyBobby]

So simple! Slapping on any extras can also adjust it to any theme! Little "metal" bits turns it modern like rebar sticking out, or even adding fake plants up the sides makes it look like forgotten ruins in a jungle or woods. Such an easy idea with so many uses

[@nathanevans6580]

"I'm not dead, some of you are probably wondering if I was dead but I'm not I kind of feel like it though sometimes because I'm pretty tired" This hit me on a spiritual level

[@horizonsforge]

Loving the simplicity of your most recent builds! Super pumped for Idols and excited for you to have made it!

[@CronosVids]

I said it before and I’ll say it again: You’re such a wholesome person!

[@ianshaliczer]

Taking a few extra minutes to push some cut up paper clips as “rebar” and maybe cutting a doorway or two into some of the walls would really push this over the top without much extra effort.

[@charleswilson5773]

I like these a lot, you can do some 7 inch pieces and add corners halfway up for ruined two story buildings with ledges where you can hide chests and other kinda stuff

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

3 layers of foamcore is a neat idea. Normally I’d reach for a single sheet of insulating foam, but I found some old foamcore in the garage covered in dust and spider poop that can’t be used for much else, so this is a timely video.

[@jefferydraper4019]

You can even make windows in the walls...torn out doorways...even partial upper floors. Nice.

[@PrincessPengy]

BMC must have sensed I was hankering for a video, cuz it can't be a coincidence that this was uploaded after so very long just a couple hours ago. 😊

[@DolinVA]

Glad to know 3-1/2 inches is good enough

[@och70]

Welcome back! Hope the family trip to Germany was a lot of fun, and it recharged your batteries.

[@umbrellaoli]

Hope you enjoy your vacation. Greetings from Germany. 😉

[@jameslivingstone8267]

Next video tutorial should be about edible terrain, maybe some ruins made from gingerbread?

[@fatredfu]

The skull on your shirt looked like a freaky full moon rising over your build 😂

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

These turned out really good.

[@palexanderrice]

I love all this calk ideas. I never would of thought of using it. I can imagine just finding textured rough rocks on a walk and just mashing the rock into the calk

[@jimmo1350]

Welcome back. And now to worry I began rewatching some of your older builds

[@mrheisenberg83]

I hope you and your family enjoyed Germany very much!

[@jouneymanwizard]

8:35 "don't let your kids eat your terrain" Solid advice

[@Stevie28]

Greetings from Germany. I hope you had a nice vacation here.

[@timothyyoung2962]

Great for making some quick ruins for Frostgrave.

[@euansmith3699]

Jeremy's not dead? That's great news; though it does mean I've lost the Deadpool. This is such a cool project.

[@Naga-Raja]

Oh I am definitely going to make these to fill in my wargaming terrain!

[@cadet1ice]

Looking forward to the next bimonthly video.

[@JC-gv6sq]

Quicj easy and still looks good on the table, will definitely give this a try.

[@bobmoore-tg4vv]

I know you're busy, but I just thought you should know there will always be subs! Thanks for the content! Appreciated so much my man.

[@notreallydavid]

Keep on not being dead!

[@JacopoSkydweller]

LOVE this build. It's so simple. I don't build much terrain because of the time investment and seemingly not having the right tools to get a good time investment/results ratio, but this is SO doable with what I have. Thanks dude. For anybody thinking about the sponsor: Into the AM shirts are dope. I'm 6'6", 220 lbs, athletic build, I wear their large size. They're super comfortable and have great artwork. They shrunk somewhat lengthwise to be on the shorter side for me, but not too short. They also make your arms and shoulders look hella good if you lift at all. Highly recommend, worth every penny.

[@pblackcrow]

Awesome to see you, Jeremy. Was getting worried. Anyway, nice.

[@dimitrisbakoyiannis9114]

"We took a trip to Germany", yeah Jeremy went for the Styrodur import 😆

[@slate613]

Envy you for the trip to Germany! Get any new build ideas from all the castles and old buildings etc?.

[@ethanedwards7834]

Simply great. I'll have to make some.

[@Jim-yk9if]

Another fun project! And the silicon will be much easier on my teeth when I eat terrain! Congrats on the Idols of Torment progress!

[@fedeshuriken]

I'll give this build a try on cardboard!

[@afxtjet]

Great VDO! I am going to make that terrain to be the border of a post apoc themed slot car track!

[@BillAllanWorld]

Amazing! Easy, cheap, modular, durable - all of the things I love!

[@SlytherinReviews]

sweet builds for any table top gaming

[@CGossRunnn]

These are the the videos I love. Simple, easy terrain that doesn't require special tools or 3d printer

[@goronenthusiast]

it's always a good day when a new BMC (black magic caulking) video comes out!

[@richbuilds_com]

Simple. Works. And a great base to build off. You can never have enough ruins!

[@solidussnate6348]

Wow, was a hobbiest 20 years ago and life sort of dragged me away. I'm hopping back, saw this .... wow. GREAT STUFF! Thanks!

[@pezpengy9308]

i love the, "i'm not dead!!!" prove it! :P

[@X-R-T-C]

ABSOLUTELY A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!

[@richardokeeffe8375]

The off cuts as corner stabilising is one of the best bits!

[@garyguy4826]

Thank you for the Video, I need some Ruins for my 54mm Klingons and Jem'Hadar to fight over 😊

[@zacharymcleish4498]

I was scrolling through my KZbin subscriptions yesterday night and I was wondering if you were okay. Of course less than 12 hours later you upload this. Hope you enjoyed your family vacation. Well deserved. I may have to bang out some ruins fast and easy and this is a perfect solution (since I have everything for it lol). I would love to see more scatter terrain projects. Your Idols, Swamp and Campsite terrain inspired me and I would love to see another take on that.

[@johnpatrick1647]

On the spray paint note; if you do end up with some melted areas because of overspraying, that's fine. It just lends more to the ruined look.

[@steampunk8036]

Bro, I love the lackadaisical attitude! I can so relate to a former Carpenter doing this genre of art. You’re the man! -Rick, USMC.

[@darcyw156]

Back to the roots! Great vid. Makes me want to get back into making terrain.

[@sansaarai]

As someone who just got into making terrain these videos are a great resource. Love it!

[@BIGREDRoyalBear]

Could you do a full ruin castle in the foamcore and caulking? Maybe using a wire brush for a drawbridge! This video has my gears turning 😆

[@willmfrank]

Yes! You certainly can. If, however, it becomes too big to support itself, you may have to brace it with a wooden frame; Use a variety pack of square wooden dowels (available from the craft aisle at Dollarama or whatever your local equivalent is) rather than balsa -- the dowels are stronger and more durable, and the variety pack has several different sizes that will serve different purposes.

[@bengamingames5002]

What a fantastic method, I cannot wait to try this and get some terrain created for our games we run at our gamestore. Thank you!

[@djhollowman9567]

I'm 100% doing this. Thank you!

[@thegamingtome]

It is nice to see caulk be used as a short cut in crafting terrain. Carving the brick work by hand can be daunting. Cool build!

[@chachachazki]

Glad you were able to take some time off, but so great to have you, your super builds and energy back on YT!

[@DaronSchmit]

This caulking trick is really something! So versatile. Adds texture and seals at the same time. Big fan

[@capnskustomworks]

The layering makes such an awesome, realistic look for the walls!!! And I’m sure that technique would work great for EVA as well, even though it’d definitely be way pricier than the foamcore.

[@chalupacabra4312]

Love the vid! Any tips or ideas for making large snow drifts? I'm a big fan of making artic terrain.

[@elcid200]

Good to see you again!

[@Kevlar-78]

Good to see your face brother ! Glad to see everything is moving along and in production ! Cheers dude !

[@brakfajnegonicku]

Damn. I'm making this. Soo easy and soo quick. Thanks !

[@Dzeimz]

Such a fab way of making terrain. Thank you for being inspiring:)

[@theOutdoorEddie]

Welcome back Jeremy!

[@2ndSucks0018]

Welcome back, with another killer back to basics! Loving the creativity with the caulking lately.

[@keithhornick2577]

Welcome back Jeremy. Great video!

[@chrisdalton8221]

I bet this would also work with cardboard as long as you cover the corrugation with spackling or caulk

[@dave_s_vids]

These look great and also look quite fun to make. Thanks!

[@CajunCoyote88]

Your videos are really cool and make our arts and crafts very fun!

[@curtisbaumann-freund1291]

my gaming group made these last weekend - fast, easy and the look great! Gave us so many more ideas. Thanks Jeremy!

[@adamtomlinson918]

Looks great! Regarding rolling pins, don't forget that if you have an FDM printer you can print a roller pretty easily! That's what I did!

[@lucasupright]

Welcome back. Such a simple idea yet it is an evolution to the whole caulking concept.

[@wesharman7002]

This is unreal as always my man. Straight knowledge drop

[@timleeds4346]

Loved this project as always you never disappoint best to your family.

[@billcurran7210]

As someone who hasn't crafted much yet these seem like a fantastic alternative for 3D printing all your terrain, especially for something simple like ruins or walls. Custom miniature makers has some fantastic 3D printable texture rollers as well.

[@BeardedBaron88]

Might have to make a few of these.... While watching, was thinking that you could use a piece of 1 1/2" to 2" wide foam in between two of these sheets to have a walkway. If you had a watch tower or something too, you could make a 90 degree corner piece to sit around the watch tower. Great video!

[@tyrellrutledge52]

Top notch build

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

These look amazing. You truly are a hobby genius. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Very nice. That is a really nice project

[@derekcoppinger4472]

Hope you enjoyed your time off! It's always important to relax and regroup. Thanks for the great videos!

[@ChimeraWargaming]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing 😊❤

[@rondanuser1204]

Thanks! Great idea! I've not seen rollers used in this way and looking forward to giving it a try.

[@valbourne1797]

love it! happy to have you back!

[@newworldempire]

These are great. This will definitely be a weekend project with the kids in the future

[@johnlemon149]

Love this build!!! Glad to have you back making videos. I have literally watched all of your video’s several time over. Keep up the great work.

[@glynbutterworth3936]

I randomly came across this channel and during your little break I’ve watched your whole back catalog of videos so I’m glad to see you back making new content! The builds are so awesome I can’t wait to give something like these builds a go myself dude

[@proft7211]

So glad to see you back to building and look forward to what you are tackle moving forward! These are going to be perfect for traveling to the game I DM

[@zan917]

Looks nice! Want to try it.

[@ichamelthemad9217]

Good video. A throwback to your early days!

[@vincentwiddershoven2122]

Great video and welcome back. 😄

[@evilstans]

Being cheap, i'd sugest 3 and 5 inch (2.5 x2 ) strips and cut the 5 inch wavey to get 2 pieces at a time. Buy that's just me. Otherwise cool easy project (the non water soluble caulking just needs vinegar in the water instead of soap - it's on the back. This is for more the true silicone ones for tubs etc.)

[@Muddimar]

What a great idea man. Clearly that time away really helped the creativity spark! Thanks for doing what you do, it always keep my cogs turning

[@SavageBruski]

I needed this. I've been wracking my brains on how to make some desert adobe type ruins in the middle of a desert and was really coming a cropper. Plus the double-layering was great and solves warping. I missed you dude. Keep bein' awesome.

[@Pixel_miniatures]

Nice I'm thinking church/castle ruins maybe going taller on some pieces. Excellent

[@zeddoverkill]

Welcome back, dude! Awesome project, really digging some of these quick and easy builds that give awesome results.

[@colmbright9822]

I would add a shelf in some of the corners giving elevation for the Goblins to attack from.

[@demetrinight5924]

Having modular ruined walls is a must for any war game. These look like they could easily fit into fantasy, modern, or grim dark future. I also liked that you used scrap foam board from painting projects.

[@badwolfforge]

Looks perfect for after school Dungeons and Dragons programs too!
