These are amazing. I'm looking into creating a table for historical wargaming between Afghanistan and the Sikh empire in the 1820s and 1830s, and your video has made the scenery I had in mind possible. Thanks so much Dave. You're a legend Dave.
Brilliant. “Sheered a sheep” mate I did it with that regular foam packing and I had “ static BALLS” everywhere for DAYS ! The Mrs was not happy mate! This looks great. Fantastic video, the music, production, editing and narration is ON POINT as always! Thanks for taking the time to produce.
I have a tip if you would like to try, I use a vacuum and scrape it across the foam. this does two things one it rips out the foam with the scraping and it cleans at the same time. you can put as much pressure in as you like. I have attached gouging tools to the vacuum hose nozzle with tape too. it also helps stopping smaller particles flying off to be breathed in
I work in IT and we get a lot of foam packing from the hardware we order. I grab any that have unique shapes that will lend well to a sci-fi or near future build (I play mostly those types of games). But even some basic shapes are nice and usable to cut into walls, pillars, are just sliced up as ruins or hills. Even snag snack packaging. One man's trash is another man's treasure ; )
Love your channel . It’s what 1990s games workshops used to be. I spent hours making terrain.. gluing sealing painting . Experiment on surfaces and texture… ah The great times
Hey Dave! Was cool meeting you today, how random that i was watching one of your videos last night before starting a new job :) big fan of your content! Tom
Always love kicking back with a sugary beverage and watching another video by my favourite content creator, hector. Dave is there too, I guess? Great video man, loved it
I liked the educational aspect on foam ! Totally agree, this is a great way to reuse the stuff so it doesn't end up in landfill. I love that celotex stuff, use it all the time now. So easy to get a great looking rock texture!
I raided a skip outside a construction site 3 times, obviously under the dark of night. Got a shed full of thick wall insulation foam and it's perfect for mountains and rocks. They all turned out amazing.
I'm a big fan of the recycling route. Personally I tend to asked more for tutorials on using cereal packet card than anything else. I must admit showing people how to build virtually an 40k vehicle out of the stuff is quite rewarding. The first resin Eldar prism cannon sold at games day was made and cast in 12 hours. It was made from a wooden flower display and an Asthma inhaler. ( I made it) We did 40k scale Titans with expanded foam and plant pots. The Ork versions were 80% cereal packet ,a plant pot, (The smaller ones had Mr Potatoes Head's feet) . So I'm expecting you to think out side of the box as you charge into your Ork project. If its of interest I could pass on some useful quick and easy builds that would be easy builds for people with physical restrictions.As they'd require nothing more complicated than the basics of a ruler, pencil, knife, ruler,scissors, emeryboards,and superglue. Plus a the odd cereal box.
Think you've got an awesome niche theme to some of these videos, environmentally friendly, recycled materials terrain. Love it mate, been hoarding foam and pizza boxes in my cupboard after watching your vids.
I think you did an outstanding job! Well-made gaming terrain made by hand is much more enjoyable than the insanely expensive stuff from GW and not everything has to look like a Gothic cathedral!
Love the vid mate! For your smaller rocks that looks like "stacks of foam" just shave some layers a bit here and there, they'll look like shale rock. Pretty common and once you put a bit of filler here and there, it'll look completely natural.
I use acrylic sealant as a coating on foam and paper mashe pieces. I make a lot of hills using cheap kitchen aluminium cooking trays and metal chippy containers bent to shape and covered in 5 layers of paper and glue - I save Xmas wrapping paper and apply that in alternating layers with newspaper so I can see which bits I have done - It warps a lot but I leave a skirt around the edge so I can glue it down to a flat card base (if you cover the bent tray with a layer of wet kitchen towel the paper doesn't stick to it so you can bang out a set of hills with just one tray). I leave it a day or two to dry out then apply the acrylic. I mainly use a wet finger for smoothing it out but you can dilute the acrylic and smooth it on with a brush, just wash the brush in hot water and detergent before it dries. I use dried tea leaves (tea bag stuff for grass 'texture' and loose tea, which is larger, for 'foliage' with fine sand elsewhere and both stick very well if applied to the still wet acrylic sealant and tamped down. For paint I use domestic paint tester pots, I use a lot of Wilco's Chocolate Dream for desert so the people I give a set to can find the same paint to add more. Thicker corrugated card (not really the flimsy stuff supermarkets use these days) is okay for walls, cover the edges with newspaper to hide the corrugations, the newspaper seems the most 'flexible' of the available papers. For stone walls I have a roll of blown vinyl anaglipta-like wall paper with a suitable pattern that looks the part in 1:72 and 1:32 with a coat of paint and a drybrush. My sets are given away to less well off folks, mostly carers as they get crap pay, and they get a set of notes on 'what's in the box' and 'how to make more'. As an example for a knights and knaves set I make just one long hedge (strip cut from coir doormat with teased out pan scrub added to the top to produce an uneven profile, add some flock and some trees from twine soaked in glue with flocked teased pan scrub as foliage and paint in various shades of green using cheap paint). Back then a village would typically have just a couple of very large fields fenced or hedged off in which everyone got a strip or two to farm. Hedges back then were similar to the bocage, an earth bank covered in assorted bushes and trees, hedges on the flat are really a post-railway thing, but for toy soldiers the advantage of the flexible strips outweighs the need for absolute historical accuracy. The hedges work well for 20mm scale (the cheapest toy soldiers you can get) but they are too small for 1:32 (which I use for kids from 3-7 years old).
I love the video, and you having WCW Hulk Hogan on your TV is amazing. That was the build up to his monster truck sumo match on top of Cobo Hall. Hogan pushes The Giant off the top of the arena, presumably killing him. However, and hour later The Giant comes to the ring, not even limping, for his main event match against Hogan.
I picked up some celotex and a 3 foot square piece of ply from a house renovation as well as off cuts of foamex (expanded PVC). I'm still using it 4 years later. Celotex is amazing, if messy, stuff for terrain, paint it with diluted filler from Poundland to strengthen it. Good to see others using this stuff. The whole board cost me £50 with flock, plaster cliffs, resin river and a sandpaper road for the city area.
I'm not sure about the underlayer foam, but I've built some hills using foamboard and foamcore that worked rather well for things. Foamcore is something I'd found actually works better for an end result. Mainly in the early period of the lockdowns, but it would probably work with what you have left of that foam for some terrain pieces. I rough cut to the basic shape and glued it together before hacking away at it, and I didn't peel the foamcore off of everything...which actually improved the look in the end with bits and pieces of layers in the end that would be visible. Took a larger, rough rock and worked some texture into it. Then I thinned down some non-shrink, lightweight spackle (for those with access to them, it's the cheap little tubs that Dollar Tree has in their home repair and tools area) to the point where it was like a milkshake in consistency for the most part with a few bits of chunkier pieces that didn't get fully mixed, but added to the end result, and brushed it over the foam, and a few pieces of actual stone from a small sack of chips from a home decor thing, attached with some thicker bits of the spackle to make the surface look better in places. Then I just used superglue after that dried to cover a lot of the surfaces in a rougher texture with a few more of the rocks that were less blended in. I've got a few pics of one piece on imgur... i.imgur.com/MPrnRN6.jpg i.imgur.com/PHXV3Sx.jpg i.imgur.com/4WnNfHJ.jpg
Hi again bud. I used a Surui Anamorphic. I use vintage lenses for my normal glowing flares but sometimes the anamorphic with a torch pointing down it just makes my day. Hence the aspect ratio change.
That is freaking awesome! My friend and I wanted to make a Martian terrain table for the miniature game Warzone several years ago, and this is pretty close to what we had in mind. Keep up the awesome content!
The underlay actually works pretty well, if you look at real desert terrain. Sandstone, common in the US Southwest, is a layered rock. The only thing I'd recommend is irregularity of layers. Slice and stack different pieces to make it look a bit more irregular.
I love this idea! Sustainable hobby!! I have had a moral issue myself getting into 3d printing knowing how dangerous those polymers are for the environment.
Use thicker eps foam. Carve its basic shape inside a box. For the rock surface cover it with thin layer of caulking or plaster of Paris applied with your fingers. It’s less messy. Also it’s more realistic looking and faster than paper mache. Paint with 50/50 pva/acrylic black (bit of water for a wash), then more PVA/acrylic brown, the glue sinks into the plaster to harden it. Drybrush mid-grey, lighter drybrush magnolia (never white unless you want snow effect). Can use blue-grey for colour if gray is too bland for your taste.
Hiyaa, was that a cheeky Uncle Roger reference to the weejio? Loved the old school GDubs vibes this terrain has. I'd love to see a GorkaMorka comeback, but hopefully Necromunda's upcoming Ash Wastes expansion will scratch that itch for us old timers
great mess! I mean vid!! Carving foam is my main frustration, this video shows me that there's hope for my next terrain pieces!! Keep the good job Hector!
Got loads of weird polystyrene shapes which I try bin every week but there's never room. I used to heat a butter knife on the cooker & try carve those white dwarf mountains.
Circa the 6 min mark: To increase the eco-friendly rating, but more importantly to save more money & appease the gods of frugality & scavenging (blood & scrap for my lord Arioch), all the little crumbly bits of foam can be retained & used as basing material/rubble. The main catch is of course adding something to your workspace where you can quickly gather it & so it doesn't go onto the floor (where it mixes with actual filth). Which I would probably suggest one of those plastic bins meant to hold linens & roll under your bed... shallow enough to work in, big enough to hold most terrain projects. Flip side - you will quickly gain so much you will have a near lifetime supply of basing material... which you can't really use solo because the shape of the foam scraps looks just a little off compared to IRL rocks.
Finally finished up moving into my new place, really gotta get the ball rolling on unpacking my minis, finishing up some of my terrain, and getting some games in with my mate two blocks over. Lovely stuff 👍🏻 gives me that nostalgic 3rd ed space orks vibe
@@MSPaints I know what you mean. I used some to make a projector box for my graveyard Halloween display, (basically clad a plastic tote with it) and tho it left some nice gouged stone looking bits I still had to go in with the hot knife. You nailed the rock texture tho and that’s not easy to do.
I had to rewatch the first few minutes because I focused on my childhood hero in the background. Sorry, pal! Also, your video is a *NUMBER ONE!* *slaps* tho!
Another great video dude. This popped up in my notifications just in time to convince me to buy those Wild West Exodus minis and buildings I’ve been thinking about. It was like a sign from the hobby gods. Love your work mate and am super excited to see some GorkaMorka battle report. Health and safety frog 🐸 you’re awesome too mate.
Great video 😂 I tried using that Kingspan foam but found that when you press on it, it compresses and loses shape - I wondered about sealing it with plaster or something but that would also crack under pressure
Been watching your videos for a little while and as much as i love them and have tried most of your tutorials i can no longer physically paint my own models, got any good solutions? Unfortunately can not afford to get them pro painted
Currently 3d printing an army that I’m going to attempt with zenithal spray cans, washes and drybrush. Gonna see how good that might look! Hopefully that’ll be something you could look into.
Great vid Hector, you’re smashing it. You did ok too Dave ❤️ Really nice looking terrain! For all of the mess of the foam that was everywhere you did well to not get it all over yourself! Or is there a 30min dyson scene in the directors cut? I’d love to make some stuff like this but don’t have the space to store it 😞
I make stuff like this and I don't have the room to store it 🙃 just make a couple of small pieces to start with that are easily stored away in a box or drawer and before you know it, you have bought shelves and other such surfaces to display your terrain pieces... maybe you shouldn't? 🤔😆
Amazing results, those will look great in any game. I can't imagine cleaning up those foamy 'dandruff' bits. I've worked with foam for stuff (not on this scale) and it seemed to take forever even then. Me: 90 minutes for paint and wash? Who has time for that .. Also me: watches 3 hours of youtube while doing nothing productive.
Sooo I just now noticed your paint racks are in the shape of an F. I love it! Also, very very good video as always. Love your builds and been rewatching your entire catalogue 😅
I think the layered foam coulda worked if you spray painted it or sprayed it with anything that could lightly desolve the sides of the foam and blend them together more and create a rocky rough worn weathered rock face
Nice work, Dave. These turned out great and look nothing like the ones that i did and Health & Safety Frog didn't tell me to say this.
I love Health and Safety frog's choices of ultra 90's wrestling entertainment.
There's no better foam than found foam.
Nice paint job - the red over black looks sweet.
Awesome a new MS Paints video building terrain from recycled rubbish. The paint work absolutely popped Dave.
I'm very glad I had put my drink down when the makeup brush arrived for its scene.
Love it pal, the pit falls of crumbling foam... as they say thats how the injected foam insert crumbles!killing it mate.
one of the best videos I've watched in a while. Deffo using some of your techniques
Cheers Funk!

Every bit of foam I've ever built terrain from has come from a skip or bin lol. Class vid dude, the stuff looks sick, really good paint job too. 🤟

Been watching your videos for a little while and as much as i love them and have tried most of your tutorials i can no longer physically paint my own models, got any good solutions? Unfortunately can not afford to get them pro painted
Currently 3d printing an army that I’m going to attempt with zenithal spray cans, washes and drybrush. Gonna see how good that might look! Hopefully that’ll be something you could look into.
I dig your laid back vibe man! WOW I haven't said that line since the 70's lol . Love the art as well .Stay Groovy . ✌~N~💖
Great vid Hector, you’re smashing it. You did ok too Dave ❤️
Really nice looking terrain! For all of the mess of the foam that was everywhere you did well to not get it all over yourself! Or is there a 30min dyson scene in the directors cut?
I’d love to make some stuff like this but don’t have the space to store it 😞
I make stuff like this and I don't have the room to store it 🙃 just make a couple of small pieces to start with that are easily stored away in a box or drawer and before you know it, you have bought shelves and other such surfaces to display your terrain pieces... maybe you shouldn't? 🤔😆
Awesome video. Your terrain look amazing! Also I love the Health and Safety Frog bit. 🐸
Great terrain! Turned out exactly like the pictures in the White dwarf. Looking forward to those sweet Gorka Morka videos.
Great work. Some of those forms could have happily doubled as snow/ice formations with a different paint job.
Just found your channel through recommendations. Great video and aditude :D
An environmentally friendly production AND the promise of future Gorkamorka content!?!
- Do you need any players? :)
Amazing results, those will look great in any game. I can't imagine cleaning up those foamy 'dandruff' bits. I've worked with foam for stuff (not on this scale) and it seemed to take forever even then.
Me: 90 minutes for paint and wash? Who has time for that ..
Also me: watches 3 hours of youtube while doing nothing productive.
Sooo I just now noticed your paint racks are in the shape of an F. I love it!
Also, very very good video as always. Love your builds and been rewatching your entire catalogue 😅
I didn’t even notice it was an F myself, haha. And thank you for watching bud!
@@MSPaints always a pleasure watching you, Dave. Thanks for your excellent content and amazing personality!
Love the video, terrain looks great and I’m a massive fan of the recycling vibe
Impressive and really wish I had the room to make similar stuff!
I think the layered foam coulda worked if you spray painted it or sprayed it with anything that could lightly desolve the sides of the foam and blend them together more and create a rocky rough worn weathered rock face
Turns out this foam doesn’t melt! And I never like to gamble on melting foam.
Looks great, I also watch erics videos, keep up the awesome work
I'm going rootin thru some skips tomorrow boy 😂 great tutorial, these pieces look wkd
Also use the more jagged parts to scratch your backside with !
Hey Dave - any tips getting that bloody silver stuff off the foam?
Rage and persistence sadly!
Polymer glue tip : when sculpting put it in center . Hotwire cant cut it when its near edge
The Tallarn in me is homesick right now. Great job Dave, very reminiscent of the old White Dwarf mags :)
