I was getting a little worried when you only went in for the nine good luck touches. Such a sigh of relief when you came back for the remaining three touches. 😌
Certain protocols must be observed lol
Chopped in half, that little Frisbee would make a great Star Wars style power generator. I really like the balcony inside the takeaway tray; that's a cool way of added some thickness and stability to the plastic.
I'm picking some up to try it.
Good job. I have to confess, I'm jealous of your dollar store. It looks 20x better than anything around my neighborhood.
There are a lot of bad ones near me. This one isn't that close but I found it recently and its really good!
yeahhhh, that's an A+ dollar store.
Sometimes there are "mom & pop" dollar stores that aren't the major dollar store chains; they often look like this. Overcrowded aisles and dusty product.
Holy crap....i was going to say exactly the same thing
Pretty sure that's from a Hagen AquaClear Filter. Looks about the right size for 30-55 gallon tanks. Total Classic. Also nice terrain broski!
Coming in hot with the fish lore! Still waiting for another fishing video 😃😃😃
Ah yes I forgot we have a resident miniature AND fish hobbyist.
This style is really refreshing. Glad to see you adding to it.
Thanks Franky!! Im enjoying branching out in all these new directions
that balcony would be perfect for an argument about who is so in love with whom
Imperial Fist vs Iron Warrior anyone?
(Bit Monty Python-y)
Absolutely love your channel. No fancy 3d printers and 100 dollars worth of official Citadel bits, just good old terraincrafting from random trash and crafting materials.
I love Thursdays on TH-cam
Never see enough Tau terrain. Fantastic!
When you basecoated, this project took on a beautiful sci-fi city aesthetician. Then you 40k'd it up and reminded us that the most consistent thing in the 40k universe, is dirt lol.
I LOVE this, and I love how you just picked and pulled all the parts from random stuff. Excellent work!
The- "......................... 10, 11, 12!" - part had me literally laughing out loud! :-D
Love your work!
What's Star Wars?... Nice build, I do love a dollar store glimpse... even if it was short lived
Making stuff up as you go. It's pretty much how I approach all my builds. 😎
It has a very VERY star wars look.
I like it
The fact you do xenos terrain is amazing, Eric. You're the real MVP.
Love to watch you repurpose all the found objects!
No one mentioning that Jazza has a Warhammer channel here on TH-cam? Tabletop Time is its name and he’ll yeah Jazza is hella infectious with his happiness and general good guy ness
Fits perfectly into Star Wars - great job!
That is a work of art! I can easily imagine that as a sci fi movie prop!
This is a great build. Love the balcony! Also....I think I need to start using gesso!
You're a hobby machine, mate. It's incredible how fast you're doing such high quality stuff. Big love!
This would be great for Beyond the Gates of Antares too. Nice build!
This came at the perfect time, I'm going to make some tau terrain before my friend gets to face off against my hive fleet! It will be his reckoning!
Love everything about this build. The open scifi theme that works for so many different games, the simple materials making such great shapes, the simple little additions like paneling that add so much, and the streaky grimy paint scheme.
I'm leaving a comment to help feed the algorithm.
This looks amazing! Love sci-fi terrain. More 👏 more 👏 more 👏
Thanks Zan! More is coming !!!
I love watching you scratch building these. I'm working on a table myself. I can't wait to give these a try.
Hello. Great job. Definatly at home in a Star Wars movie. I am jealous of your dollar store. A Real Alladins cave. All the best.
man, you're a true terrain genius. I admire your work
Damm dude you're spoiling us lately
You guys deserve it!!!
i love how you can turn any bit of random garbage laying around into a breathtaking work of art
Thanks jman
Ever since I started watching Eric's videos and subscribed I've been collecting and hoarding all sorts of parts and materials, hoping they would eventually come in handy for future modelling projects.
Great piece that Eric! Nice touch rolling the battlemat you made out at the end there too.
You glorious madman! How much construction adhesive did u end up using on this thing. It's super versatile, nicely done!
Can you two do a scratch build off already! Please.
First of all, love what you're doing. I did want to pass on some knowledge I learned from cosplay creators who make armor out of foam of different thicknesses. When cutting foam use a very sharp long blade that is about 3/4 to 1" wide utility knife, and the most important part is buy a grinding stone. A stone that is double sided fine grit and finer grit measuring 6x2x1" high is what I use but you can use anything that is as big as your blade. Every time you cut a piece run the blade along the grinding stone on both sides of the blade. I heard of blades lasting up to 2 years or more. The main reason to use it is when you cut you leave a really smooth edge on the piece you cut, and this cuts down of adding fillers to make it look better and attach to other pieces better. Keep up the good work. At the moment I'm doing puppet music videos so I use a lot of different props that I make or buy. Keep up the good work.
I only build fantasy terrain, but I love watching you and Dark Matter Workshop build scifi stuff. It blows my mind how you guys take stuff from the dollar store or junk and turn it into amazingly awesome terrain. Watching while I eat my post-work sandwich (fuel for post-meal crafting and painting).
Another masterpiece Eric. It reminds me [ I'm 60 btw] of a competition I entered at school, back in ..er crikey! about 1973. It was a 'future' landscape like this a little. Well, it owed its existence to a pile of containers etc. Poor paint job, poor glue [back then] but I got a runner up prize, if only I'd known about washes and dry-brushing...
Cool build Eric, you are on a roll with your great builds!
What a elaborate excuse for starting to paint your tau.
Great job
This is one of the best pieces I've seen in a while, it's really fantastic! I really like how part of it is a canister, since you can use it to store your gaming pieces, or whatever you want, inside it.
Eric you are an absolute legend. I love every build you do. top bloke!!!!
15:50 That piece looks so great. Whole thing is awesome. Well done man.
This is really impressive and oddly therapeutic too. Consider me relaxed.
More xenos, nice! And double duty with Star Wars!
It looks fantastic and very Star Wars like. Thanks for sharing this.
I’m a very beginer,and persons like you are realy precious!thanks a LOT!😮
You're a wild man! At first I thought, Oh good, he got a wire foamcutter, no more cutting his fingers with his exacto knife ... And then you unplugged the glue gun by pulling on the cord, not the plug [eye roll here]. Love the build; stay safe!
Looks amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great work, as always. You have a very good sense of proportion and an intuitive eye for composition and balance. Nice.
Love the Tau and I loved this build. An excellent terrain piece and very inspiring. Thank you Eric.
I used 2 of those exact toy tanks in the same way, a comms piece and a detailed wall unit/panel in a tower build back at christmas time lol. They work really well for it and super easy to just pull apart and glue on. Wish the rest of the vehicles that came in that bag of army toys worked as easily into a build.
Your ability to turn random objects into terrain is seriously impressive!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Seriously, I love your builds. I always love crafters who can grab random shite and make awesome things with it. That's the creative process for sure!! Awesome vid as usual. Lots of great takeaways for people.
This is like ASMR for hobbyists.
I'm always amazed by how you turn some plastic toys and some random bits in such amazing buildings!
Wiping wash around is really easy and fun with clothe gloves! Great Video
FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!
Do like the balconies - I make toys for kids so everything has to be toy-box proof (parents eh) and with some acrylic sealant or spray foam on the inside I think they'd stand up to the hammering.
I'd love to see more in this style---the girlfriend plays T'au and is just getting into terrain crafting, so these are gonna be super helpful for her as a point of comparison and reference. I do think the color is a bit one-note, though. It needs some black (like with the windows) and some metallics to help break things up a bit. Maybe some red, like Vior'la sept, on a few panels? Regardless, the shapes and the process in this video are invaluable, so thank you for sharing so many projects!
I find if i keep the paint scheme simple and neutral then no matter what coloured models are on it, or whats surrounding it they don’t clash
This is a great build. I been watching the random bit builds for 40K to get some ideas for Gaslands. Now one of the video's I watched earlier, you mentioned not being afraid to screw up. I totally agree, it's a learning experience and never be too hard on yourself. You might find a new technique when you fix it.
Great video with plenty of inspiration. I really like your cardboard cutouts idea.
Definitely getting a little more daring with your builds. Very impressive.
A fun build! Great work with the shaping and ample play surface
Looks great! Who would have thought you'd have tau scenery so soon
Very nice.
Excellent 1970's sci-fi look.
Loved that dark knight rises bane reference
Yes, that's the box for an aquarium filter. I have dealt with so many of those when I worked in a petstore.
this turned out great! Im thinking of making it myself!
thanks eric!
Go for it! Send me a pic if you do
"Time to smooth out my dome"
Is that a euphemism?
Another awesome build my friend !
Really liking the panels 👍🏽
I think you are quickly becoming my favourite modelling youtuber, Eric. Love your friendly and chill demeanor, and your work is also very cool, of course. Thank you for your content and I hope your channel will only get more successful over time - you deserve it. :)
Eric definitely do more in this style, one of the best piece of terrain you’ve accomplished and as always great video
Eric killing it lately man! Just outstanding stuff!
Very nice, simple paint job. Love it!
This is a masterpiece! I would have added some color for more variety but I love it!
Great project! I have not done a Trash-Scratch-Build for a longer while but definitely need to give it a go again sooner or later! Cheers
Great project, and thank you for the skillshare. Awesome channel!
first eldar and now tau? my two favourite factions! and the two that all terrain-builders seem to avoid like the plague :P nicely done mate :)
That was creative sir, enjoyed watching the process and the end result was very cool.
haha the looming face at the end
A classic shot
Great video. I almost spit out my drink when you started touching that piece nine times for good luck, then continued on, 10, 11, 12...
Arguably my favourite build you’ve made. Love the hidden movie quotes haha
Ah yes, another great build, a bit confused from all the dishwashing in the background but other than that a great tau looking bit of terrain, more xenos stuff please
Excellent build! I absolutely love this style. As a Star Wars fan, I am excited anytime a piece of terrain has the ability to fit into multiple themes. Keep it up.
It’s always crazy to me to see what the Northerners can get at their dollar stores.
for real, californian dollar stores are not optimal
I go to a dollar store and it's all table cloth and glass cups but thjis guy can buy glue-guns???
AND A SOCKET WRENCH??
You can buy pocket knives at a dollar store up here man, it's wack.
@Dynoriffic I found the fucking woodcraft section at dollar tree and they have packs of box cutter knives and foam for like PENNIES
It’s all cheapo materials but they definitely get the job done
Here to appreciate your very subtle nod to Bane.
“.......ten, eleven, twelve!” 😂😂😂 Got me with that one!
This is a stunning piece and looks fantastic. Well done. I hope to be able to emulate this someday.
Fine work! Also, your local Dollar Store is fantastic and looks the way I would imagine a shop looking in the hive block of Kowloon City back in the day. Not that I'm super jelly or anything. :-D
Excellent build, plus you can store cookies for in-game! I think you are the only person who says "I use the glue gun for a little bit of a less messy thing" lol
That wash really worked well, the way it runs down makes it look like the whole thing is stained from rain or something
Man you fricken rock, this piece turned out so good I saw your post on Instagram and had to rush over to check it out!!
Amazing a usual ! Can’t get enough of your content
@Eric,
I think you'd like streaking grime from ak-interactive. Enamel washes or paints are quite fast and easy to make gritty things. :]
I like how you polished your dome.
Very nice, very professional looking piece of terrain.
Adam
Very cool! Love that terrain style. Keep up the great work.
That looks amazing!
I'm finally moving into a space that can allow my to start doing bigger terrain and table top projects. I have a Black Templar chapter monastery and a Nurgle temple to build.
Thanks again!
Be cool to see that fortress mate.
Good job! I'd love a video like this about Necrons
Great model. Best bit Is when you make it up as you go along.
I would love to sign up to patreon as I’ve loved this channel for a good while now, this is exactly the type of diorama building I like doing but I don’t have the money. Just wanna send my support in the form of nice words, keep it up buddy 👍
