[@anthonystike6034]

One thing that I would say: that is a great build. The offset door is more realistic than a centered door would be.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

That makes sense. and I did look up real buildings so maybe that is what made me do it :)

[@manamedia]

Exceptional! And so easy to follow. Thank you for submitting.

[@ryeanchan]

I would love to see another "sci-fi ish" Legion building using this technique :) Also thank you for showing me how to do recessed doors! I've never done them right before and after watching your take on it I feel dumb XD Please keep up the awesome work!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Heh my pleasure, at some point I will probably do more but not soon I think. Good luck!

[@stardude2006]

Looks good ,Nice technique

[@thrashviking7707]

I love the texture of the plaster/filler on this. Definitely get a good tatooine feel for sure.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks :)

[@reallymiish]

Love this! Definitely going to try and make some for Star Wars Legion.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I'd love to see it when you've done some :)

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks really good! Thanks for sharing this.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

My pleasure 😊

[@dmmomma]

Nice and easy, just the way I like it! Cheers!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

That's hopefully my style :)

[@longhunter5935]

Nice job. I don’t play Star Wars Legion but do think these could find there way into WW2 or even Warhammer boards. As an aside. My local gaming store runs many different games, in the past I’ve built buildings and dropped them off at the store for others to play on. Folks like seeing a new structure to play around, you don’t have to find a place to put it in your house, and it’s fun to walk into the store and see people enjoying playing with something you built on the table. Cheap as chips and you can keep your second one (the better ones) for your self.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Sure, this is sort of generic desert building, you could do research and find a real place and just use the method. I keep all my stuff but I thik because my local store is pretty big with lots of terrain, if there was a tiny local one I maybe would :)

[@mikevader84]

Thank You for the Tutorial !!! Looks Awesome 🕵🕵🕵👍👌✌

[@Sanorace]

I realize that I say squirrel almost the exact same way that you say square, and this video took an a whole new meaning to me. I love the look of this build and your technique for centering the dome.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Now I will be thinking twice when I say it! And thanks, happy to show it :)

[@Sanorace]

@@TerrainMadeEasy What no, I didn't mean to make you self conscious about it. I think it's awesome, like YSAC saying onion instead of oven and SimplyNailogical saying taco instead of top coat. It would be fun if you squirreled up you edges.

[@Clamamity]

Reppin' my home state! Nice build.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I am a little confused, your home state?

@@Clamamity Ahh sorry, I only saw the comment not the video when I reply. MAkes a lot more sens enow.

[@dominiquea.j.lallement228]

Not to melt the foam,maybe it’s possible to use special polistirene primer? Anyway it’s a nice result ❤🎉

[@zeroa6]

Awesome!

Thank you very kindly :)

[@Huteukivsuc]

But your channel came out very cool. I loved how it turned out.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you kindly :)

[@stillunsure7630]

Fully adopted, watching this back to add more building! Sci-fi desert Mordheim terrain ideas! 😁

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I want to do a deser board's worth of terrain at some point! Maybe if GW rerelease Mordheim!

[@stillunsure7630]

@@TerrainMadeEasy if they rerelease it, itll be after the old world returns! But then empire town streets will be easy to copy with form card and wood sticks! 😁

Thanking you kindly :)

[@gravy3907]

dont' worry about the symetry lol looks great

[@TheDrewjameson]

The way you pronounce the words "square" "hair" and "there" is incredible, dude

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Heh I presume they all sound the same, look I'm northern english, I am shocked anyone can understand me. I will try sqwhare and hhhair ....okay no I won't. hehe

[@taco2947]

@@TerrainMadeEasy I think Northern English in the UK is equivalent to our Southern Drawl in the US. Maybe? The Southern US has some huge cities, but is always looked at as being "country" by the US Northerners aka " Yankees". And the funny thing is the whole US is referred to as Yanks by Europeans. Haha. I think? Either way, great video!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@taco2947 Apparently the US southern accent is quite similar to a posh british accent in it's creation. The North West UK accent is sort of like the working class, down to earth accent, not stupid really (though many of us surely are heh). I think the country is too small to have many vast differences in personality, but the accent is not seen as posh or good! lol

[@Bluecho4]

Could use this in 40K as Tallarn or Mars terrain (the latter painted more with red than pale sand), or in Age of Sigmar for battles in Aqshy, the realm of fire. (Or, for that matter, Shyish, the realm of death, by making it paler and grayer, like dwellings built on the ashen wastes and bone-dust deserts).

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Absolutely, I think it's generic enough that you could make it into anything. You could easily make the door wooden for example.

[@jonreyes587]

Hi Jay, could you make a video on how to make a wargaming tabletop? There are a lot of videos on how to make the table, but they usually don’t describe how to add texture to the table, paint it and flock it. I’m looking to make my own Legion 3x3 table, and I could use some tips.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Hey. It's unlikely I'd do a one piece board that size. What kind of boats you going for? For the ground it's either filler that you texture as you go, or pva and sand. For grass, often foam flock or static grass.

[@kevinmoreira86]

Did he use like a drywall compound as the filler? Because dap spackle for filling holes is pretty expensive. Drywall compound on the other hand you can get a whole box for 15 bucks

[@MijMike]

Was it Vallejo paints you used or you just got some cheaper paint with similar colours

[@norcalonline1]

Nice work, Jay. Personally, I really like the offset door. Having the door in the middle could make it too matchy-matchy. I like your spackle/filler technique for making texture. Have you ever made buildings using the cellulose packaging material? I just made a Star Wars-esque building using that material. The channel, Stellarian Games, has a couple of cool videos on making SW buildings from the cellulose stuff. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, --Bo

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Is Celluose foam, xps foam? Extruded polystyrene? The answer is I have used that stuff a chunk, if not I have no idea!. I try not to have all my builds use it too often just as I know it can be hard to get, but it is good stuff. Thanks :)

[@norcalonline1]

@@TerrainMadeEasy Cellulose packaging material is not XPS or any kind of foam. It is like cardboard but formed into shapes to protect fragile electronics in shipping. It is bumpy and textured. I think they make it from cardboard pulp which is vacuum formed to match the shape of objects. The cool thing is it comes in really interesting shapes for crafting.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@norcalonline1 o yes I know what you mean now.

[@ReallyBigBadAndy76]

The offset door looks fine, I’m not sure why you are obsessing over it. The building looks very good especially compared to the time and effort required to make it.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I just think putting it in the middle would have looked a chunk better. Maybe I go on about it too much though lol

[@harrymanback3475]

Why did you remove the paper for the door section? Great build ty 😊👍

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I didn't. I am pretty sure I just used some card to make the door. But I have a video showing 4 ways to get paper off foamboard - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIu6l4KmaL6SftE

[@harrymanback3475]

Oh I thought I saw you peel of the paper layer of the black foam before making to door, sorry I must be losing the plot lol.

[@harazhangf5782]

​@@harrymanback3475 5:34, He indeed take the paper of. My guess is, without removing it he can't do the patern on the door.

[@Huteukivsuc]

You look up to the one in the Zootopia the Sloth Movie.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Wait, are you calling me slow and the sloth or something else? I don't mind I am just curious :)

[@Huteukivsuc]

[@Jhoelgrox]

Man, that foam seems to be so easy to work with, i can´t find any in my country

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

No Foamboard? Do you have any craft stores?

[@unclesamthejew8740]

Thats the same thing architects uce to make models right? Well im from croatia and here its both rare and expensive (to a degree ) Nonetheless fun video , im subbing.

[@edevans5991]

That's interesting. Here in the US I've seen advice to get foamboard from a dollar store since the low quality makes it easier to strip off the paper. It really couldn't be either cheaper or easier to find here. You kind of wonder who besides wargamers are popping into a dollar store and walking out with some chips and few sheets of foamboard.

[@ryeanchan]

@@unclesamthejew8740 I'm guessing you could use cardboard, maybe double corrugated for strength?, and such? Good luck!

[@j453]

It looks good asymmetrical. Plenty of buildings are asymmetrical.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Yeah, I don't know why it just felt off to me but it's probably more realistic like that. Thanks :)

[@drewbakka5265]

Yo dog I love you and your work but why were you wearing a bathrobe when you filmed this

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I wear my dressing gown around the house, don't fancy changing to craft :-)

[@edwardcote2440]

Just don't use floral foam for that sphere...

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

For sure, I don't actually exactly why it's bad but everyone agrees it is!
