This looks great Luke! Solid day of work. The room full of helpers probably made up a bit for being away from your workshop. I've gotta find a room full of goobers to help me with stuff!
Great video dude! Taking this concept (Maybe not quite as large) to conventions and building a board over the course of a day while someone else is on the stand next to you selling the products you're using would be very cool. It's eye catching, it prompts conversation, it's an excellent showcase of the product, and it's something different than what you usually see at conventions!
This is an mint idea lad. Imagine doing this at a big convention with loads of people there. Perfect way to show off and advertise your range and what you started it for. Keep up the good work mate youre really helping the miniature scene!
Can't believe this was a year and a half ago.....seems odd seeing all thouse people in close proximity without a care in the world. Fun times helping out on this build!
Great work Luke, and thanks so much for being at the weekender. Great to meet you and was fantastic to watch you work. Looking forward to the next one!
It looked really good. I am building a WWI casualty clearing station set in 1917. It's a railway layout and I have learned lots of new skills which is the appeal for me.
One Year later and I am gratefull that you did that video. I am planning on building a small southern coast-village for a 1/43 Racing-Game and you did give me alot of ideas how to actually get the Scene alive and after all, you gave me a really awesome tutorial on how to do it better than my way (I allready build Warhammer Fantasy Tables a couple of years ago, but now I want to do it a lot prettier!) So... Thanks a lot, mate! You really helped me with this video and all the other videos of your channel (not all yet, but I am working on it ;) )
I like that you show how to make things quick and cheap which is great but if that's all you're goal is then it really take the love and passion out of this hobby and makes it a business which i know it is for you but not most of us.
Yeah, I totally get the whole working away from home thing. There's a local convention that I have a stall at every year, and I basically paint, display my work, and answer people's questions and all that. There was ton of little things I forget cause I don't think I'll need them, then suddenly realise that I'm without them just as they are necessary. Luckily the convention is held about 15mins drive from home, so I can usually get so done to drive to mine and pick them up, or mind the stall why I go get them myself.
I spent 2015 through January of this year with my "studio" essentially being a footlocker. Paint, tools, lamp, extension cord, whatever project I was working on at the time. When you work out of a foot locker, you learn what you need to bring to these type of projects. Even now with a proper work bench, I'll go to work on models at the game store and have everything I need to build, prime, paint, and base a model. Great build though and very motivating!
Every reason to be happy with that result mate, great work. It's truly awful working away from all your home kit. I've got most of the stuff I need to start building my 40k board, will be ordering some of your stuff in coming months to use on it for sure. Great stuff.
Have you ever tried using hot mud as your compound? You can mix pretty much anything you need into it for texture and it sets up quickly. You just mix small batches at a time so you don't get too much waste. It will save you a ton of time waiting for things to dry. We used to mix paper pulp, baby powder, crushed shells, sand, Styrofoam beads and paint right into the mud. Fresco terrains. :) It does get hot while curing. Not blister burns hot, just hot. EDIT: Oh, and never try to temper it (add more water) once it's mixed. Make sure each batch you mix is in a clean container. Just one small amount of remaining hot mud can cause a fresh batch to go off almost immediately, ruining the batch.
That moment when you just come back from a 3 months internship in Stockport as a foreign Student , and it's just when you get back home you learn you've been working next to Element Games for the past 3 bloody months ! :')
I can see a tv show doing this sort of thing being popular. Everything else has had it done it's time for terrain to go mainstream. Make it happen luke, you can do it.
Can’t believe I missed this video, I was waiting ages to see this table and event, but thought no one recorded it. Amazing work and team effort. Really wish I could of been there.
Lukes Aps.Think I’d be too scared to help in case I mess up your hard work at the last minute. Also I’m certain it’s me birds birthday that weekend. Supposes I could dump her and get you to build me a new one out of foam or something. Go easy with the static grass though I don’t want one too hairy 👍🏻
This board was made for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game by the company called Games Workshop. Just Google it to find out more, its a great game, if you like Lord of the Rings. :)
Nice build especially for how quick it came together! Maybe a broken down wagon or other ruined farm litter around the house could really sell the scene.
This is the second video I've watched of yours, love how you do things..make it look easy and enjoyable to watch, plus inspiring to crack on and do things..will be looking to buy some of your products ..
Board looks amazing. Truly great work. Not sure about the "Quick" in the title. 14 hours with that team of guys works out to about a weeks worth of work, at least.
Amazing work Luke! Now for a question/suggestion, that possibly will move you out more out of your comfort zone :) How about making some 6mm terrain tips and tricks? The landscaping is the same but forests and trees etc. Would be intressting to see what ideas you have on it :)
@@GeekGamingScenics Can the basic siwing (don't know how it's spelled in english :o) on the board be the way to go? Maybe some way to make tufts be like readymade bushes, kinda like how they make the flower tufts but with really small clump foliage on em, just throwing out ideas :o I'm going to build a ACW board this summer in 6mm so just looking for ideas and inspiration.
Hope you are going to film some more footage like this at the next weekender. It would be great to see some of the finished pieces of the people that signed up for your mini board builds class. Can I ask what did you use for the paths on this build ? Cheers 👍🏻
Hey Luke, appreciate this was from a while back but wondered if you had listed anywhere the details of the items you used to create this? From you own stock I mean so that if I was going to try and build this what would I require and in what quantities. All the way down here in Australia I’d need to do an order in one go. Thanks
Lukes Aps - Geek Gaming Scenics thanks Luke I’ll head over to that site and have a look. Love your work by the way, The Stalingrad 40K build I’ve also got my eye on really solid work there. Enjoyed seeing you build that.
Considering how long a board normally takes to make, that looks amazing. Well done Luke, you're a star.
This looks great Luke! Solid day of work. The room full of helpers probably made up a bit for being away from your workshop. I've gotta find a room full of goobers to help me with stuff!
I know I'm a big twat, but I would hardly class my weight as a "room full!"! ;)
@@donewiththis-2012 Hahaha, I said "room full of helperS" not "roomfull of helper" :-) Great work on this board man!
Hey Goobs!
Love the paintwork on the rocks. Really high quality, particularly for a quick job.
Great video dude!

Beltin effort pal, what an achievement! Was a pleasure having you there, see you at Weekender 2 ;)

The board looks great mate, it was a pleasure to meet you in person.

I love that simple hut. Very simple design but beautiful none the less. Sometimes the simple things make the biggest difference.

This is AWESOME!!! I love LOTR and Hobbit stuff, and the board totally captures the vibe! And in 12 hours?! Absolutely awesome!

Looked great man. It's cool seeing ya out in the wild and such. Rock on!
Hey Luke, the end result looks great. Was cool meeting you on the Friday as well.
Wow, that's stunning for a one-day build. Very impressive tabletop!
Nothing better than being on your feet with a hangover. Looks great considering though, nice one guys.
Though Ents looked bloody marvelous.. great work as always mate 🤩👍🏻
A weeks work compressed in a long day 😸 5:55 burn the foam! Hot air gun works wonders 🔥
Great video! I love how honest you are hahaha drinking and building terrain is fun
Awesome work, good job you had some help ha ha The trees work for the fantasy setting
Really nice job! and even more points to you for getting such a good result while being hangover! ^^
Beautiful board. Inspired me to get to work finishing my terrain pieces
Have no idea why this popped up in my feed.... But this was cool. Almost makes me want to get into war games.
Fookin knackered! Nice job. It's a good job you had your minions along. It was very brave of you and it worked. Thanks. Later.
It's cracking bud, especially for a one day build. I don't think the trees were that terrible, great for a gaming board.
Awesome work :)
Very nice especially for a 1 day build. Great details.
What was that grey plastery stuff you used for the cliffs and smoothing out the hills
Lukes Aps - Geek Gaming Scenics thanks
Outstanding board Luke! If you are throwing the trees away I'll 'ave 'em!

Fantastic work Luke! Looks better than some folks month long builds. Great inspiration. Cheers.
I can barley make a cup of tea when Im hungover never mind a board.
Scotsman then make some *barley* tea
Bro it's barely
That is next level. Seriously impressive. Can you go into detail regarding the actual glue, flock mix etc that you use?
That moment when you just come back from a 3 months internship in Stockport as a foreign Student , and it's just when you get back home you learn you've been working next to Element Games for the past 3 bloody months ! :')
I do Tabletop Roleplay games and this looks amazing.
I can see a tv show doing this sort of thing being popular. Everything else has had it done it's time for terrain to go mainstream. Make it happen luke, you can do it.
Great bored Luke cracking weekend. Glad you had a good time!
Awesome video, terrific table, and in 14 hours while drinking! Love this channel! Cheers 🍻

Beautiful board Well done :)
You come a long way from 4 years ago. Kudos
Hi, Greeating from El Salvador ! All tour vídeos are very Nice ! Thanks friend
This makes me so happy 😂 I love scenic boards. Would have loved to have attended the weekender but work :l Hopefully next year!
Looks great. Fantastic job in 14 hours.
your channel is so inspiring i cant wait till i can try to replicate these techniques on my own board one day
Mate, not gonna lie, this has made me wanna give it a go myself. Live next to a big B&Q so might just have a go.
Awesome idea with the cocktail sticks!
Awesome to see, can't wait to see more!
Excellent work, dude... great to see you in stockport supporting the middlearth guys :)
Looks amazing mate, really impressive! Wish I coulda been there.
That's some great one day build mate! awsome. Hahaha making trees while you've been drinking, been there too, you are a brave man :)
Could someone please tell me. For what games would you use something like this for?
This board was made for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game by the company called Games Workshop. Just Google it to find out more, its a great game, if you like Lord of the Rings. :)
Nice build especially for how quick it came together! Maybe a broken down wagon or other ruined farm litter around the house could really sell the scene.
Do you have a link or name of the white powder you used to fill the gap?
Luke this looks great! Way to go bud!
Cheap, quick...and gorgeous!!👍👍
This looks great! I really wanna make one and I don't even play any tabletop games!
Congratulations great job Luke it looks amazing. I hope one day I can be half as good as you and hope you took plenty of that malty tea with you 😂
True artists. Well done!
Incredible job!
This is the second video I've watched of yours, love how you do things..make it look easy and enjoyable to watch, plus inspiring to crack on and do things..will be looking to buy some of your products ..
Where do you get those large panels of styrene?
Looks awesome! Well done, man. 😀
14 hours of work and it looks absolutly great. :D
Cant wait for october as im booked onto the board build course. Fingers crossed luke is more sober lol
Board looks amazing. Truly great work. Not sure about the "Quick" in the title. 14 hours with that team of guys works out to about a weeks worth of work, at least.
what is the stuff u use for the grass
Is this you scratching your live-performance itch now that you've packed up the band?
Your one day builds are better than my 6 month builds.
Luke, the quick basing glue is out of stock, what's the ETA or an equivalent?
You should (if you can) do a follow-up to this. Get some footage of how well the board has held up over the time since you built it.
you are knackered.
bless you
Are you going to bring your stuff to Australia cause we need it to
When you said
burn did you heat the edges of the foam?
How much dark green flock did you go through when you coated the board?
That was amazing , board look quality. :-)
What green flocks did you use?
Amazing work Luke! Now for a question/suggestion, that possibly will move you out more out of your comfort zone :) How about making some 6mm terrain tips and tricks? The landscaping is the same but forests and trees etc. Would be intressting to see what ideas you have on it :)

Lukes Aps. Cheers bud you are a star.
Where are the rock faces from, do you sell them?
Awesome work! Great board! Cheers!
Nice table but, what happened to the setting it on fire. Did you skip that step or just edit it out?
I like this Kind of Video very much
Well done!
What's the ratio of PVA glue to water in your pump spray? My pump spray always clogs up :(
Looks great, pro tip - biscuit tea might make it easier to get through next time. Not as much fun though 😁
Well done fellas
Love these. Hoping to see some city and 40k boards
I think the tree's look great.
You’re the best, man!
Can you make a dense urban environment for warhammer 40k? I think a table like that would be interesting to see!
I don't even mind those trees, in the setting they are a little out of place but in more a mirkwood/ dying wood they wouldn't be.
anyone know if you can use bog standard filler instead of the modelling compound?
Awesome work, wish I had the space to do this kind of work!
Superb 👍
