In this video I show you how I made this piece of terrain for wargaming. This piece is made of cardboard, paper and balsa wood, so it is very easy and accessible to make! I made lots of mistakes in this build and I'm not overly impressed with the final result, but making mistakes is how we learn and get better! This project definitely is not for the impatient (aka me LOL). Let me know what you'...

    You can get sheets of foam underlay from screwfix etc, if you stack em and glue them it’s a good alternative to buying those xps boards - you can also get a LOT for £15/20 and it’s almost exactly the thickness of those bricks. Source: myself trying to find xps in the uk.

    Hey, cool to see another crafting channel. Took some inspiration from techniques you use (smearing the clay on and adding texture for instance). One tip back: you seem to paint very dry. This is so much more effort compared to putting some more paint on your brush and also it makes your brush last longer in general :D

    For those wanting to search online to source the "granny grid" (which, since I started using as it was originally designed as a teenager always makes me roll my eyes), the "correct" description is "plastic canvas". It's used with yarn to take needlepoint into three dimensional projects. I've used it to make bags, boxes, creatures, furniture, even a castle or three. It also comes in different colors, so if you find some difficulties painting it, try one of the colored options.

    You should consider buying or making a texture roller for your spackle. Makes adding texture a breeze. Another option would be to take an old pencil and remove the eraser. Then crush it into a brick shape. Makes a quick easy stamp to add texture as well. You can also wait until the spackle is tacky and you can roll on a foil ball. Different texture options. Tbh last option is a little dodgy with spackle would not bother with that option myself, just throwing it out as a suggestion.
