[@theherrdark4834]

for cheap cutting discs, I do mean cheap, I make my own, here is how: 1. Get a Little Debbie snack cake box (or something similar) 2. A craft 1" circle punch 3. 3/32" hollow punch Cut about 1.5" strips from the empty box. Put the strips in the craft punch. You can make about 20-30 in a couple of minutes. Take the 3/32" hollow punch and put the center mounting hole in the paper disc. This is the mandrel mounting hole, and you are all set. This friction cuts through PLA and styrene as is. This was with the $7 rotary tool from Harbor Freight. It is cheaper than regular cutting discs, and you can use the hole punch for making other paper-based items, along with the hollow punch set, they are useful for a variety of materials.

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Turned out great. You both took very different approaches but in the end yours is much more playable, which is the winner to me!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I also didn't cheat!........... XD

[@jacobhoekman6865]

I dunno based on what they said about playability...

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Jacob Hoekman well yeah but they also did cheat.

[@RollforDamageRFD]

So we Can ignore the playability stipulation.

[@RaptorsBlood]

Mid winter minis sent me over yeah you whooped that arse

[@RaptorsBlood]

Sorry Guy and Penny but cheating dosnt prosper

[@MutsuKazuma]

@@RaptorsBlood they had an advantage cause they cheated and yours still looks way better

[@jacobhoekman6865]

Both mid minis and BM craft need band saws. They take wayyyyyyyy less time to use than rotary tools. Ps yes they did cheat but they had good reason.

Jeremy: "Weird 1950s retro Buck Rogers look that just isn't grimdark to me." Adeptus Mechanicus: "How dare you."

I love Adeptus Mechanicus style....but it's nothing like childish 1950s space stuff.

Not my jam. At least not for this. It would be cool for some sort of Fallout style rpg or skirmish game though.

[@cheese_and_pear]

I was going to say that 1950s retro Buck Rogers + Grimdark = Métal Hurlant. :)

[@TheNSKaneda]

That retrofuturistic atompunk aesthetic seems to work well with Eldar terrain - and a welcome change from empire of men :)

[@beeezlebub]

I was actually quite disappointed in Guy's build. I was expecting terrain. I was expecting him to follow his own rules. I was expecting something with depth and usability. He let me down for sure. YOU ON THE OTHER HAND... You freaking murdered this challenge!!! Absolutely epic!!! What an incredible outcome. Every KZbinr in this hobby can take notes from your formula. I appreciate you so much Jeremey! Never stop!!!

[@Alino-]

Yeah if i ever have room for more stuff (if. Tarantulas take up a lot of my free space), I think i'll do this for terrain. Ridiculously nice for the cheap cost.

[@brug6206]

I’m not gonna lie, my first though was “man I wonder how they’re gonna paint with water guns and be effective”

These turned out super well!! I love the kitbash stuff like this. Its not something I'm personally super creative with but its amazing what a coat of paint can do to make something look like a bit of scifi scenery.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I think the real secret is just being able to look at it while building as though it's painted. If you can visualize everything as one colour while working on it you can come up with a lot more cool things.

[@DaveDeBaeremaeker]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Another way to put it is to see shapes, not colour. I was just thinking the same thing.

[@JeffDrennen]

I'm getting a Dune feeling form this project. but that's just me, awesome job. Dune, Arrakis, Desert planet.

[@ScratchBashing]

You gotta love water gun challenges and those Dollarama water guns, eh 😉 Great result here, I think the small pair with the striped pattern plastic are my favourite.

[@digsstuff]

This gives me some Gaslands Ideas. That one you didn't prime at all to me look like an interesting piece.

[@polrua]

I got started on miniatures with Necromunda, and one of the most fun parts of terrain building was being able to look at weird bits of junk, broken stuff, ordinary household items and old, busted toys and turn them into stuff that looked amazing with relatively little effort. It's always fun to see that tradition carrying on.

[@st4lsell123]

This was freakin awesome dude. Also, i kind of loved the two part video editing. Like, first part let the video speak for itself as far as whaf your doing, then an explanative 2nd part just to give us a rundown after the fact. Hearing what you did on the piece while seeing it completed in front of you just kind of made it click for me. Great job man. Love ya

[@johnd3185]

[@jfunderburk1989]

I love all the collaborations you guys are doing. It’s a nice reminder that we’re still all united in this hobby even with the world going a little crazy and having to be isolated.

[@jacklambert4958]

I realize you put this video out a year ago but WOW. I’m always amazed when I see what movie props, scenes and terrain are made from. You turned those water pistols into great Mad Max post apocalyptic structures. I’m just amazed. I also want to thank you for sharing your techniques. I actually just finished building the hexagon fountain, my first attempt at building terrain. It turned out pretty cool, thank you for the tutorial.

[@FlawSmith]

Wow, these look awesome. Way better than I thought they would turn out.

[@DragonaxFilms]

These look amazing, they've got such a nice gritty industrial look to them. The paint job really pulled it together :D

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

I will never understand why everyone paints real sand. It looks so much better and (surprise surprise) more real unpainted. The little flecks of colored rock sediment look awesome.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I explained why. I also didn’t use sand.

[@optimusWII]

Yeah, these turned out really good. I wasn't sure about the holes left by cutting off the handles, but they work in the finished product.

[@harkejuice]

So, on that 1950s piece (which I thought looked great) a fun way to turn any organic shape to grimdark is black + green (like bio, glowy green) accents. Also spikes at the top of organic shapes instantly give a sinister look to otherwise retro-looking structures.

[@jacobbalensiefer3846]

Awesome to see an entire table of terrain from 1 project, pretty wild to think about. It was also cool how true to the original prompt you stayed basically just slapping a base on the plastic parts.

[@ThaBenMan]

I saw the top of a little head poke into frame some there - "watcha making, Dad?" :) Fantastic job, as always!

[@mszoomy]

As always your ability to turn everyday mundane objects into something completely different has blown my mind. Well done!

[@Blandco]

I gotta say both builds are impressive! But I think the fact that you primarily used only watergun parts and that your terrain is traditional war gaming terrain makes your project more impressive.

[@bitzbox]

It's amazing how good these look considering they are just water pistols cut up and based. Your painting certainly made a huge difference!

[@iansharp1543]

That retro-style piece might look good in a Fallout game.

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

I love these kind of friendly competition videos I've seen between the different terrain channels lately. Great job!

[@jacobb.9181]

That unfinished one that looks like it came from the 50s would look awesome to have 3 lasers firing from them into the sky, like in the climax of every super hero movie

Relatively new terrain crafter here. Was inspired by your channel. I kept thinking, ‘that is so cool, ‘ as I watched this vid. Very cool and simple build.

[@BTolputt]

Love how this worked out. Not only do the pieces look great, but I like how well they matched the mat you wanted to use them with. Very Mad Max, Adeptus Mechanicus, even Dune-ish.

[@mai2015]

Okay but can we take a moment to talk about how good the editing was on this video? This build made me feel so inspired!!

[@FrigginBoomToys]

[@ThePretz33]

Love all the cross channel challenges you guys do now! I've been watching all of you for a while. it's so awesome to see you all work together.

[@LeoNelBuilds]

I feel like Guy's thing was built using 50% water guns and the rest was a bunch of other additives... even so, and while his piece looks cool, you are the clear winner, hands down because you actually used only water guns on bases and nothing else, and managed to make some super rad looking pieces. Oh, and it was so nice getting this video early as a new patreon :D

[@ModerateHipster]

Great project! Through the first half I kept thinking of how I'd approach this, and I'd use my benchtop band saw. I can't recommend a small band saw enough. It makes short work of MDF and HDF for bases, and would be my go to tool for cutting through those water guns. (In fact, I have used it to cut through water guns for my own projects before.) If you don't have a little band saw, you can get one for about $100 USD (give or take). It's an essential tool for my terrain projects. I use it about as often as I use my Proxxon hot wire table. I swear by that thing.

[@erictripps125]

That's what all the nerf modders use to trick out their blasters. Great tool for this kinda stuff.

[@CorvusCorone68]

@@erictripps125 i think it's utterly ironic that the term "nerfing" is used in the video game world to mean something was made less powerful, whereas in real life people take Nerf guns and replace the firing spring etc to make it hit harder, basically un-Nerfing

[@Devcon]

Ok I TOTALLY misunderstood the challenge. I thought it meant "paint using the waterpistols" and figured "oh wow that's a trainwreck waiting to happen". This makes WAY more sense ROFL Awesome stuff! Love how it turned out!

[@gregconen]

I really like the one you called your favorite, too! The combination of parts looks like an integrated industrial thing with storage tank and smokestack, and I think it works really well.

[@alexandercain8904]

"PS. I hope you enjoy losing!" Why yes, I will enjoy it when you lose!

[@balobreached]

Top tip, wiping down plastic with nail polish remover matts the plastic surface and makes it a much better priming surface, which saves you from sanding and scuffing the base material. (Gloss plastic btw)

[@zacDboy1]

killed it my dude! All you guys making hobby content are seriously inspiring :)

[@jherazob]

It's nothing short of amazing how great the pieces look in the end even as you still kinda spot some of the original shapes, if you had added bits and greeblies it would have passed for bought terrain, just great job!

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

My wife & I both like the Buck Rogers -ish building in the darker color. Try spreading the handles out and placing walkways between them to force the eye away from the handle-ish nature.

[@negotiableaffections]

You became a disused factory, factory there! I find rotary tools tricky [but not impossible] for this 'chop-shop' stuff, awkward corners, nooks etc. I use a 'junior' hacksaw as we call it in the UK for this purpose. Make sure the watergun, old plastic truck/plane or casing from unwanted CD players etc is secured well. A small tabletop vice is ideal, maybe some soft packing to avoid damage to the part, but once its held firm, hacksaws of all sizes are ideal. A bit of clean up with a utility blade and voila!

[@stephenmurray5684]

MId Winter Minis sent me over - great video, great build, great painting & great imagination from a bag of plastic toys. Fantastic

[@1986fritzthecat]

not gonna lie. both sets of terrain together would make a hell of a cool board to play on. also love the colab

[@kennethyoung141]

If you use water running on the discs as you cut, it helps them keep cooler and last longer. Cool way to conquer this challenge.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Could use a water gun for that!

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial be difficult lol but I use a dripper for reptiles,but a 2L bottle with a hole punched in it,then just open cap to desired flow. I use my rotary tool daily. Saves me alot of bits,discs etc. Just trying to save you money,oh amazing builder! Lol

[@Znobishtucon]

At 7:40 with the "Buck Rodgers" architecture, I thought: "I wish Black Magic Jeremy would cross over with model-master Boyd from TrekWorks!" Every modeler needs to see his walkthroughs and tutorials... there would be so much to learn if worlds collided!

[@TheDornsFist]

Kitbashing will never die. Awesome video!

[@OKTabletop]

Once again, epic job. Never thought of water guns as a material. Genius. Must say, your airbrush skills are getting crazy good. Also, for a minute, I thought your only dialog was going to be your line in the very beginning about how many guns to use...this would've been hilarious if it were the only thing you said until the reveal. Great job Jeremy

[@Martyhero]

Amusingly I've always associated that Buck Rogers retro-future aesthetic with 40k's Golden/Dark Age of Technology, when everything was shiny and perfect before it all went to grimdark shit. You could say that piece is an ancient human storehouse loaded with superior tech and the reason why the armies on the table with it are there.

[@pez5767]

Great vid. Absolutely loving the mellow montage to open.

[@edgardiaz331]

We need more of these cross channel challenges, loved the terrain as always. Sick instrumental for the intro!

[@HistoricLife]

Normally I hate dollar store toy terrain conversions but this looks amazing! The one piece you said looked to 50s looks perfect for Necrons to me. Paint it black and green.

[@AftermathGamingMods]

Used only waterguns... By default this one goes to BMC for staying in the guidelines... Totally awesome scatter with a Borderlands/Fallout feel. Big win for BMC even if MWM did follow the rules.

[@kaku_zato]

I got hooked on the miniature painting and terrain painting videos recently and I'm planning on buying some XPS foam and tools asap and start experienting. First I am going to use my hobby quality acrylics, because I don't know yet if it's worth of investing a lot yet. But you and few other channels have been a very big inspiration for me to try this. So thank you for making this kind of videos. To you and everybody who makes this kind of content available for us. PS at first I thought you'd have to paint with the water guns, lol :D

[@andypetrie5270]

Great video good Sir! Found you via Midwinter Minis and can l just say you have an amazing channel. Definitely a case of the same starting point but two very different outcomes; both exceptional. I am going to use elements from both videos and see what happens, and on that note l'm off to the pound shop and DIY Store to buy some essentials. Oh by the way l would call it an honourable draw.

[@Kopschlop]

Bards Craft has also started a Challenge for Tabletop KZbin Creators. It's about reusing old Craft's you don't use anymore/ never used. It would be realy cool if you could try this Challenge too.

[@harazhangf5782]

Well Midwinter Minis nailed the look. But you nailed the challenge. The look is here, full on water guns, and the playability is a big bonus imo. And you did not cheat which is a second big bonus. Victory is here for me.

[@chrispowell2947]

i've been looking for stuff to make eldar style terrain and the curves on those water guns are perfect. instead of making them worn and grimdark I'd just make them look nice and shiny. thank you for the accidental inspiration!

[@beleraphon07]

Different approaches, but i think yours is far more playable and being modular can be used in many ways. Great looking result.

[@seanclarke8015]

Just wanted to take a moment to tell you I really like your content man, it's so inspiring to see how you can make even a bunch of water guns into some slick terrain!

[@StarshipsSteel]

It is almost like they design water guns for this. Even if they smell when cut. Also good on you for the use of PPE. I think it is something we often overlook when working with this stuff. I am now 1/2 way into this and they already look badass. Great work here.

[@matt1500]

All of it actually looks like building and factories from Fallout 4 , awesome man!!!

[@countzero1136]

Wow this is another great project. I really liked Guy's arena build - that's really cool, but ultimately, scatter terrain is always more useful going forward than single large builds, so yours gets my vote in this challenge :)

[@brandonhobgood5600]

i liked this video before i even watched it, because i LOVE these challenge videos. You got the technical win this time, because your terrain is playable and you also stuck strictly to the rules, while that cheeky bastard intended to cheat from the beginning (i had never seen his channel before, so the "fun" part made me subscribe to him immediately. However, i totally say there should be a rematch, or another challenge, because i feel your honesty and sticking to the rules limited your creative talent to REALLY bring out what you can do with these pieces. Thanks again for an awesome video!

[@synstaur5986]

BMC this was a great video As a player of 40k I can appreciate the work that you did for this kind of terrain they came out great

[@terrainaholic]

Nice build!!!! Ya I've used kit bashed squirt guns for years and they always do a good job. I built an entire terrain table around a squirt gun that looked like an anti star ship emplacement. Handles I use under decks to hide what they are. LOVED the video as it brought back happy memories. Oh get a band saw I don't rotary tool anything unless I absolutely have to and sorry about your scroll saw!!!!!!!!!

[@AnywayWhatever]

So good. Would never know those finished pieces were made from water guns. Really great stuff.

[@paulgee1952]

Nailed it ! Or rather kept on task with the rotary tool. MM build was fun, but disqualified for sure.

[@anthonystike6034]

I went over and watched theirs. I almost was laughing too hard to watch the rest of the video after she called him out for cheating. Overall you won this one hands down. I would actually have to say playability is what all terrain builders should look at, generally, even though at times it is good to just do a display piece.

[@Alino-]

I am unsure what the other one would be used for.. putting it up on a wall? Drilling it to the side of a game board? Like I don't really get the functionality behind the one made on the other channel.

Great build! They would look fantastic if filmed with a dodgy camera, to get an effect like the ones taken by the 'probot' of the Rebel power generators on Hoth in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I'm looking at those models, and my 'exposed to over 50 years of science fiction' brain is yelling: 'Abandoned terraforming station!' I'm going to make some to display a diecast 'Starbug' from 'Red Dwarf' with.

[@wezab]

Definitely nailed the win. As Guy notes in his own video, he disqualified himself for using other materials. But I like your 3d finish to the terrain over Guy's Roman freize type finish. First time I have seen your work. You do well in keeping the vid going and interesting. More power to you.
