You: let’s do a simple project.. Me: 🤯🤯. THIS MAN IS A GENIUS!!!!

[@Boldenone17]

This is one of the most genuine thing ive ever seen in wargaming. You deserve much more attention mate :)

[@TacDyne]

8:30 If you want a bit more texture to the stones, as if they are weather worn and not used for a long time, you can use an old military modelers' trick, which is to toss finely sifted dirt into the air, then hold your piece at arm's length placing the dust cloud between the piece and your spray can while giving short strokes through the dust. Holding the can 18 inches from the piece is pretty much the desired distance for this technique.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

1:50 Luke says hello to the haters.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Also, this build is fantastic.

[@nesra8786]

Still amazed at what you have done with this channel over the years Luke, truly inspiring. My dream is to become a full time model/diorama maker and your work helps me out in achieving that immensely. Thanks!

[@Greentreeanduril]

If I’d of just seen the table finished I would never of guessed that it was wall paper. It would never of entered my head to even look for paper resembling cobbles. Enjoyed this mini table build. Your content is worth the wait, no rush. Hope you are feeling better soon 👍🏻

[@exteriorcobra1575]

A substitute for the resin curbs you can use foam board from posters and cut them in large strips and then texture them with a aluminum foil or a texture roller and then making cuts or using a pencil make sections any distance apart to create individual sections of curb without having to cut them and glue each one.

[@SootyWebster]

Beasts of war (on table top) did a massive 40k apocalypse build using similar cobblestone texture paper. Both examples looked fantastic!

[@CallofOdin580]

Nice one bud. That would make a great town/village square for bolt action

[@edevans5991]

I was looking for a place to buy this exact wallpaper in the US but had no luck. I was really excited to think that it was being added to your store. Too bad.

[@WeemanThe1]

Might be able to get it from wallpapersales.co.uk. I added one thing to my cart and they had united states as a shipping address and I backed out. No idea if they actually do but its worth a shot

[@dracomundos]

Bit pricey, but home depot have this: www.homedepot.com/p/SK-Filson-Silver-Mosaic-Wallpaper-LV3302/311083273

[@matthewsnyder66]

@@dracomundos: Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, it only looks about 60% as cool as the Holden decor pattern.

[@1945atombomb]

I would hit up the brick and mortar stores and ask the guy or girl behind the counters. They might have it in store but not listed online.

[@zargonfuture4046]

Nice one Luke. Have done a couple buildings using textured wall paper many years ago. You got the juices going again.

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Do you think it would still work if I wallpapered the wooden board first. then placed the building pads and such on top of the wallpaper? I love the idea and seems to be super quick and came out looking great either way? Cheers man! Fantastic build.

[@CurtisCrafts]

If you're worried about the next layer sticking, just carve some of the wallpaper away or notch it a bit and rough it up where you know it will be under the second layer.

[@jshepherd1102]

A couple questions: Can I just lay the paper down first, then glue the foam overtop to save time cutting? I know that uses more material, just wondering? Also, can you drybrush before applying the wash to tie it all together?

[@timothyyoung2962]

I just grabbed the Mordheim rules a few days ago and was thinking about fantasy terrain, but don't want to destroy my mind with cutting and gluing THOUSANDS of little foam bricks. This is a genius method. I will definitely be using this!

[@euansmith3699]

Oooh, get you with all the fancy camera work! Very nice. It is good to see you up and about. I hope that the "little bit of superglue" doesn't trigger your allergy again. Your painting and decorating skills came in useful for laying the paper. The finished effect is fantastic.

[@jonmullan2808]

Looks like this wallpaper is now discontinued 🤔. Any suggestions for a current version/brand that works well? Fantastic suggestion and video!

[@StevesSmallWorld]

For a quick build it looks great, take it easy and get well soon.

[@Fncees]

Luke, hope you feel better soon. Thanks for all the great videos and ideas you share. I don’t know if it’s possible, but you should buy this stuff up and list it on your store. Looks like no distribution to US for this or similar products.

[@derekdziobek5998]

We used floor tiles glued to a 6'x4' to make our very first board years ago. We were going for a temple/church complex. It was decently effective and lasted forever.

[@theminakins815]

So question, why not cut the roads out and glue them on, then put the boards on, so that you can make the roads a little bigger than where the boards will be and have it just be under in case your edges *don't* come out perfectly?

[@crapphone7744]

Take care of yourself and be well. Thanks for this great idea as well. Sorry to hear about the Amazon thing, but you'll get through it. You've made it this far!

[@nathangerardy2669]

Glad you are feeling better. Amazing video here Luke...gotta look at some wallpaper, what a great effect.

[@ljevidh.5690]

Bought it, love it + it impoved my scenery project by (at least) 100%. BUT - I have some issues with the Primer. The Primer doesn't seem to stick to it too well. First used Citadel Chaos Black, later a black car varnish + Citadel C.B. on top, but whenever I place buildings on it for test games - small flakes come off. Varnish maybe?

[@DavidMelissaHope]

Love your work. Any suggestions on how to grid customer boards (with various heights and terrain) to a 1.5 inch grid system? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@RovingJack]

Gianna silver effects pattern number 35380, looks like it's mainly through UK vendors. Not sure how expensive it would be to get shipped over to the us. there are some other textures and colored versions of this sort of thing that could be a viable under layer for dirt and other terrain, not sure how well static grasses and flock would adhere. and haven't found a texture that looks like it would work well for a miniature wood grain yet either. but you got me thinking anyway.

[@davinci3259]

He was so happy to share this, that it brought tears to his eyes.

[@MeGaShaHeS]

Wallpaper ,man that is class.I would never had thought of that.

[@darrenchantler2562]

I’ve had that Super Glue bringing tears to my eyes moment 😆it also can make me sneeze ,not ideal trying to keep things together

[@nerdfatha]

Fantastic Idea! hope you are feeling better now!

[@yeahnah3erter]

Great idea. Only thing I would've added would maybe be a little green to the edges of the roads where they'd get little use.

[@looselycollected7505]

You say it doesn't look amazing. I say it does look amazing. Especially considering what it's made of. I need some of this wall paper.

[@mikewest3108]

That came out really nice. Hope you get well soon. Love watching you do your thing. See ya!

[@xXKyledkXx]

I play Warmachine, and I'm looking to make some folding game boards. the play area has gotta be 4x4ft, but then I was thinking, if it can fold in half or even come apart and stack in quarters with some way to join up, that'd be awesome. I'm also laser cutting some game boxes for my mini's and such. Hoping to build something that stacks into two 2ftx2ft packages, as tall as they need to be. Got any ideas for portable game boards?

[@123kdred]

Its great to see you back, i would like to see hovels and stone built buildings. I'm going to give this a try for saga and warcry

[@djtoddpharris9565]

Would you suggest this type of paper for modern post apoc towns? If not, which types would you suggest?

[@andyswarbrick7452]

Great video, glad to see you back up and around. Quick question for you, which DIY shop do you find the cheap sprays in? Just doing loads of terrain for my new club at school and this could save me a great deal of time and not break the back at £1 a time, thanks.

[@PatrickSamphire]

Very nice. I could see it working as a quick way of texturing a wall, too. If you needed, say, a castle wall or a tower, you could save a lot of time with this.

[@deviantpersona]

great idea for cities. I can see using this for a bit of odd areas in villages. thanks

[@chadhackman9487]

I've used wallpaper and also Halloween/Christmas textured vinyl mats from Lemax when they go on clearance. 18"x36" section was $1.90 at clearance.

Wonder how far wallpaper glue powder extends per dollar ? Also I was thinking I would add a few tufts in the gutters as weeds . Add to landscape , medium size wood posts with a ring to tie up ya horse or Cattle Cart . This makes me want to look at what other wallpaper has texture to it , I could use for terrain ?

Get well soon Luke. Great video; I'm gonna check out the wallpaper section next time I'm at the store.

Also look for Holden's Hadrian line. While it comes in a bunch of very different colors and printed patterns, the embossed texture is the same as the discontinued Gianna line.

[@alargecurry291]

Great stuff as usual mate! Out of curiosity, with a lot of the cheapo cans you use do you even muck with Satin or only Matte? I only ask as I can get some colours in matte at my local but they have a much larger range in satin and gloss and wondering if they can be used the same way and just hit it with a dull coat at the end or something. Cheers!

That street looks fantastic! I love the weathering effect looks really cool like Jack the Ripper era! I really want to make some guard towers for killteam, maybe you could build one sometime?
