YES, love the octagons, wish I had done more non-square geometry in mine.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, I think you did some non square stuff on your add on versions, it all looked cool and very stable. If I am honest, I much prefer yours, these are sort of the simple lazy man's version of walkways! Which sadly I fit into.

[@adrianthom2073]

, I made these inspired by your video Wyloch. I love both of you to do more content on modular walkways.

[@adrianthom2073]

@@TerrainMadeEasy , nothing wrong with the lazy mans approach. It’s content like yours and Wylochs that give me confidence to try build my own terrain. Keep up the great work.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@adrianthom2073 Thank you and good luck in your creations :)

Gonna have to eat nothing but soup for the next few weeks to get enough cans for this. Great job as always man!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Any can should do. We got abit sick of soup to be fair! Thanks.

[@johnkelley9877]

I think you did a great job Jay! The walkways look very futuristic and I can see how versatile they are. Thanks for sharing this, it was great to watch and learn from.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

My pleasure as always, thanks for watching :)

[@mikeelarsen1964]

I loved the Star Wars walkway joke at the end!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Oddly my main game is Star Wars Legion but I am not overly a Star Wars fan but hehe thanks :)

[@Peachpistol]

Thank you so much for making these videos. The 3rd I was told I had covid and had to quarantine so well being sick and mindlessly scrolling youtube I stumbled onto 40k videos and it really kept me going. I got the elite edition starter box and I cant wait to make some of your terrain. Thanks again. I will definitely be joining the patreon.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

There's never any pressure to join the patreon , but obviously happy if people do. And i guess something good came out of something bad, hope you are fit and back to full health now!

[@thefoundationgyt7838]

I love this channel you’ve given me so many ideas and some great tips for terrain making and they all look really good

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very kindly. Always happy to hear stuff like this :)

[@phillmormon]

Great job. Just getting back into 40k after years away. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you and good look!

[@austinbailey2624]

I know I'm a little late to the party but love the video! Thanks a lot!

[@dakkaflakkaflame]

Nice work on those, they look super useful.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very much. I think they are really good for people wanting big structures that store easily and don't cost too much or take too much time!

[@owen9684]

Awesome job mate. Looking forward to more content.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very much. I look forward to making it!

Top notch, Jay. Thanks for the inspirational video. Cheers, --Bo

[@RFDHobby]

Great video mate. These look awesome.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very much!

[@jherazob]

Very effective! I don't have storage space for terrain at the moment, otherwise I'd actually make this (with the depot pattern thing as the can look is a bit too noticeable), less nice than Wyloch's but *much* quicker to make, and more modular too. For the railings, the racket thing could also be used for this easily. And the tops are begging for some bits, guns, cranes or something.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Yeah I sort of see this as the outline of the concept. I could have done the card on the cans but really the platforsm mostly cover them when you are stood up looking fown.

[@dominicnorthmore8384]

Brillaint video.... thank you

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

100% my pleasure :)

[@joemoe974]

Oh man, those look GREAT!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, I didn't like go super intense on these to show the idea mainly. So many things you could change and make them better or different. Thanks :)

[@ArtJeremiah]

I'ver heard of using these sorts of components to build scifi/necromunda style terrain, but that dowel thing is very clever. Thanks! Great job!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I can't take credit for it, I've pieced together sveral different things though. Thanks :)

[@ArtJeremiah]

@@TerrainMadeEasy Regardless of credit, thanks for taking the time to share it. It is really clever.

[@Mindral]

Amazing work

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you kindly :)

[@edevans5991]

I wonder if some stone texture spray paint on the foamboard before you put on the card might make up for not having the granny grating. In general, I love how your videos show how to get something that will make for cool battles without much investment at all.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I think you could do a textured spray, or even cover it in stippled mod podge and paint, and maybe go for a more rusted look. I went for basically pristine, which might not fit every board. And thanks, if I was to try and sum up the chasnnel at the moment, that would be what I am trying to do, I want people to think "I can do that" and actually do it!

[@jyoungtechguy8625]

Hotly anticipated, and you have given me some more ideas for how I want to handle this for my new table that is taking shape. If you want to go with magnets, I would avoid the sheet magnets as they are very weak, but I've been buying up itty bitty neodymium magnets recently on amazon for 10 dollars for a few hundred in different sizes. In the interest of getting a bit more texture on the platforms for painting, you could try either cutting through the card and exposing the foam in places, or giving it a thin layer of that filler stuff? Also... NO OSHA IN STAR WARS!!!! :D

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Sure, I agree on the magnets. I could have made it work, but this method was just easier. And you are right about texture. So many things I could do, but just wanted to get this system out there.!

Well, now you have black grass... :P Very nice work. Keep on the good work. Best regards and thank you so much for this project.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thankfully I can get away with that with the wife :) Thanks :)

[@locolarkin8529]

Damm Cool. Great video as always.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you kindly :)

[@markmras6040]

Nice build. I agree about the granny grating being over used. Yours looks great without it.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I like granny grating, but I already have a lot of common materials so wanted to leave it out.

[@dailyprofitcenter]

I'm a year late...but this is absolutely ingenious. Thanks!

[@BigBrushBob]

Easy and fast. Nice.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Yes indeed, I see this as sort of like the base structure people could expand upon!

[@BigBrushBob]

@@TerrainMadeEasy Totally. Keep doing your magic m8 ;)

[@paintandplayminis328]

This is awesome! You have been very good at using foam board to make what you want. I have seen you work with EVA foam for the modular street and sidewalk. Have you ever worked with XPS foam board?

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I like Eva and XPS sheets. I have loads of both I think but just like to make cheap stuff

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Love it!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you very much :)

Terrain Made Easy the modular design was creative and done really well.

@@Goggsy08 Hehe indeed, thanks :)

[@Szandor_]

Really cool! Any advice to cut round shapes on foam or chipboard? Mine always look awful

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Put a fresh blade in the knife. And for foam board you want to slice it as much as you can. So start away from board and Alice into it. Clean slice rather then tearing it.

[@paladinwiggles7896]

Nice job! I already made some of Wylochs variant but these look really good as well. I might build a set of these that hook into those though.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I relaly like Wyloch's. I think this version is sort of like a simpler, less mathmatical version. But they both look good I think!

[@samsowden]

Might be an idea to make those conector pieces as one long strip that you can chop up

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Heh you are aboslutely right, heh silly me :)

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

Nice video! I think I will make these and turn them into Elvish tree houses...

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I had thought about something slightly similar, you could put card around the cans and add like bark texture to it and boom! Nice.

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

@@TerrainMadeEasy I like it... Easy and cool!

4:35 ... I take my "stones" and hot glue them to the can ... o,O that does not sound particularly pleasant Thanks for a great vid. many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Heh, I do not recommend hot glue near anything "private" Thanks :)

[@Malgor00]

Awesome job! I tried to make Wyloch's method but my draftsman's skills were lacking. Your method is much kinder. One question... Heinz sells soup?!? Here in the US Heinz is famous for catsup. Is it catsup soup? Do the French make fun of your catsup soup? And if you don't get the last joke watch the movie Hudson Hawk.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Sadly I do not get the joke! They do all kinds of soup, I just had tomato soup? Apologies. And yeah, I think Wyloch's walkways look better right, but there's certainly less maths and measuring in this style!

[@ValravnMT]

Turn the can opener 90 degrees and cut on the outside of the can instead of the top and it leave a much cleaner edge

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

eeep is that not then a bit sharp also? I think for this build I wouldn't as we hide the inside, just being careful should mean you don't get cut.

[@jyoungtechguy8625]

@@TerrainMadeEasy There is a kind of can opener that cuts through the roll of metal that holds the lid on to the sides of the can. It leaves a super smooth edge, and bonus, the lid can snap back on the can. I did have to get it at a kitchen gadget store, but what is not bleeding worth to you? :D i use it for cat food... My precious fur babies can't get booboos from tuna!

[@stillunsure7630]

Great video mate. Why the hate for triangles? 😱 Makes me think of Rogue one platforms!

I love triangles, equalatral triangles are dope, isoseles, I mean well isosceles are great. Don't get me started on the right angled.

@@TerrainMadeEasy 😂

[@minipop1138]

What design would you have preferred for the platform instead of the octagon?

Maybe a 6 sided one? Or even square maybe. I actually don't know, the octagon has grown on me since. I now just wish I added extra details etc.

[@xCriticalStrikex]

Some great design ideas and concepts here. However for me personally I think that the final display looks just a tad too cheap. The cans and the bottle top are just too obvious :P I wonder what could be substituted to make it looks more fancy, or what could be done to better hide the materials used? Definitely some great inspirations to be taken away from this though as is how it is with the majority of your content. Take care dude and I look forward to more videos.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

So for time saving in the video, I couldn't go into everything. The solution for the bottle tops would be to use something else! Either like a milk cap or you could even use a mini cid, to keep the profile low, anything will do. For the can, I have the fuel depot can design, which would help but take more time. It's designed to be an easy and versitile piece of terrain, it does compromise on quality a little for that.

[@xCriticalStrikex]

@@TerrainMadeEasy Aye you'd need a second channel for that "terrain made fancy" XD

[@jyoungtechguy8625]

@@xCriticalStrikex You might also want to look at scrap gears and pulleys to cover the cap. Me personally, I'd 3d print a custom gubbin, but I also realize I am a hammer and to me, the world is made of nails that need 3d printing. As for disguising the soup cans? Wrap them in card stock and cut designs out of it.

[@janschulte8434]

Agree on the iconic look of the soup-cans. You could clad them in thin cardboard or even xps-foam. Maybe a second an third dovel, straw or tube (look for "Stangenrohr" - I couldn't find a good translation) on the outside of the core-structure to simulate supply shafts. To pimp the end-cap put something on, a radio-dish, a statue ormiddle sized (techno)skull. You could also build another soup-can-structure from xps-foam, break it in two and add some of the pieces on your top platform to indicate that the structure used to be many levels higher.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@janschulte8434 There's a few options, I have gone for cheap and easily available but anything will do, just to trap it all like a big sandwich!

[@Morvagor82]

There are can openers which don't produce sharp edges!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

oo damn, that's fancy!

[@frog475]

Make me some hopways rather than walkways. Ribbit 🐸

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I'll hop right on it.

[@frog475]

And try making some terrain that incorporates the SWL barricades in them which I can hop right over.
