love the brief parenting break in the middle of the video
Lana Smith Dad first, terrain builder second lol
thumbs up for instant change to dad mode as soon as the kid entered the room lol
This is the first tutorial I've seen that goes into producing detail like this. Most of the ones I've found lead to unsatisfying, bland and flat buildings. Lots of good ideas and food for thought here. Thanks!
At the end of that I found myself smiling like an idiot and waving at the screen, it was so sweet. The terrain tips were pretty damn good too!
+Robin Dando LOL, glad you enjoyed it matey
+TheTerrainTutor I always do, I'm looking forward to putting all this into practice! :)
Love your stuff Brit. Old or new keep it coming. Also enjoy the kid and background family atmosphere. Makes you more real and not a robot. Rock on!
Camera movement was fine, its when someone sweeps around the room that its dizzying. If you need to bend wire, I always use a mandril. A steel rod the size of the inside diameter you want, and just wrap the wire around it. It may come out a bit too big, so use a slightly smaller rod. A bench vise comes in handy. Keep cranking these videos out Mel, they're great!
Bill D. in Iowa Oh, I'll have a play mate, cheers :-D
I thought I had seen all videos in this series but I must have missed this one of forgotten it! Excellent!
This is a great series! It has so much useful information that I will use in my build. Thanks and good job!
+John Kelley Glad it's helped mate
Looks great! You've definitely got an eye for detail. Can't wait to see what it's like complete. In fact, I'd love to see what you've done in the past too.
Hopefully it won't be too long before it's completed, I'll have to dig out some of my old pics.
Nice. I was working on something similar today. Mostly working with plastic rather than balsa, but that's because I have tons of it.
BTW - No problem moving the camera around. Better to be able to see what you're showing us.
Do share matey :o)
Awesome tips mate, no worries with moving the camera from me :)
Cheers matey
I really enjoy your video's, you have taught me so much. Thank you.
the building is coming along well. If you are having a concrete floor it will need horizontal beams to take the strain. Even timber floors where the planks would be about the size of ice lolly sticks you need beams.
in addition any kind of commercial building would have lights, air conditioning and fire suppressant systems under the floor. These are all worth including both under the floors and as detritus on the floors. Sprue can make good fire suppressant piping especially if its round.
Cheers mate, thanks for the tips.
I like the light example. Simple but very effective. No worries on the camera movement. Better to see the work. :) If you're worried about it, you can cut out the actual movement part in post editing. Of course, it adds time to video production so it's personal preference in the end. ;) Either way, keep the shifting camera angles. It adds a lot.
Cheers mate. I'm reluctant to actually do any editing. I only have windows movie maker and any renders from that always seem to be at a lower quality that the original footage. I think I'll just have to experiment more matey.
TheTerrainTutor
The rendering quality can likely be improved in the settings somewhere. I have never used Movie Maker, but I bet there are a ton of videos on it. Try 'best rendering settings for movie maker' and see what you find. I stumbled on a similar video for Sony Vegas and it really helped - sped my upload time a lot. I mean, who can figure out all those crazy numbers on their own - (bit rate? Is that how fast I bite her??). **grin**
*****
I've researched it quite heavily mate, unfortunately this is a licensing issue between Microsoft who make movie maker and apple with own the hi-def mp4 codec. I just need to upgrade to better software mate, I'm used to working with adobe rather than microsoft home products, I just can't afford them lol

Just spotted the last comment, you sadist! I like it. Did you know there's eight bits in a byte ;oD
Nice giving me a lot of ideas. No problem with moving the camera.
Cheers mate
could use welding wire as opposed to the paper clip. Thanks for the awesome clips. ive started doing the terrain for my club because of your videos....almost too busy now😉
Paperclip bendy wire - excellent tip. I have 100 for pinning my models.
I know you said the details are basic but I'll love to see you do a light blown off the wall on the top level.
Thank you for making another use for the sprue - perhaps you or someone else has made a long list of uses for these babies?
Camera moving is fine - glad your daughter is onto you - haha.
Thanks matey. I'm trying to figure how to do smashed lights, if I can, I'll include it mate.
Drill...cut...drill...cut...bend. That's all I can suggest.
I'll give it a go mate :oD
That'll be legendary.
Huzzah , just subscribed... daughters are a blessing.
X.david Williams Welcome aboard matey :-)
Damn that looks better than a manufactured terrain any day I so want to start doing some of my own terrain building again
Do it mate, go build some terrain :oD
great vid, lots of nice ideas to make buildings more detailed and more unique, thx :)
personally i dont mind the camera moving around to zoom in on certain details or zoom out to get a more overall view.
Cheers mate, glad you liked it
nice work giving me lots of ideas for my own little projects, and as for camera moveage np at all i like seeing the small details as they make the model more realistic :)
Cheers mate, thanks for the feedback
lots of great ideas there for my upcoming project and i have most of the materials you mentioned on hand :D
+Kodiax56 awesome sauce mate
This is impressive work, Friend. I hope I can do things as impressive as this, one day.
Just give it a go bud
try a small LED light from a corner to add more shadow in your rubble. it can be battery powered
So good. Great looking building.
+Aaron Wolbach Slowly getting there!
its looking really awesome already!
Don't worry mate, I'm bound to screw it up when it comes to painting ;oD
I don't believe that!
im totally adding functioning lights to my building.
This is awesome - when do you aim to get out the vid for the next step of the development of this building? Can't wait!
Cheers mate, hopefully the next couple with be done by end of next week, got a bit distracted with Deadzone :-/
Outstanding work, The main thing that annoys me when it come to building in miniature is scale. A lot of people get it wrong.. Also have you ever thought about using plaster? Spread it onto the foam board and use a fork or something like that and draw it up and down, it will look like a old wall falling apart.
I've played with plaster for brick and stone work but never seen the wall paper trick, have you got an examples/tutorials mate? Thanks for the tip btw!
Sorry I didn't see you have messaged me. Sorry I don't the last time I saw it being used was at Film school doing Set and prop production. I could see if I still have my old school books as I know the tutorial was in there. I just thought you might have known it and not thought it good enough for what you are doing.
Cheers matey
guitar strings! good idea! thanx!
No worries matey :o)
I like this a lot mate!!!
coolsskin glad you do matey
Well, this time, you definitely left the "quick'n easy" way. But it makes the building much more interesting, than any quick made one. Moving the camera is no problem, perhaps you can work a little more on the focusing. I like your kids moving around, when you're recording, hehe. Your daughter looks like you. ;)
oh yeah, we've stepped it up a bit mate. I'll practice with the focus, need to get that sharper. The joys of being a terrain building dad! Cheers matey
Cute and informative! What more could we need. The camera was fine though if you edit your vids at all you could zoom instead? A lot of work in that so what you do now is perfectly fine.
Cheers matey, I hope the cute referrer to my daughter ;oD
TheTerrainTutor. Hey this is a great build you have here. I actually want to build this. But my question is how do I measure this out for a 1/144 scale model Gundam kit?
Some Great tips! Looks amazing :D
Ps hope little one gets better!
Cheers mate, she did, as soon as she realised she wasn't going school that day lol
Hahaha good to hear :)
Great video! I really feel inspired by using foamboard. I am in the middle of a project right now, making a large feasting hall, and I am curious on how you go about completing the roof. I always make the mistake of making the top floor just another floor rather than putting a nice solid triangle on it. Also, do you have a do-it-yourself tip for making the roof itself? I was using a towel for my thatched roofs, but I don't know if it is the best for a keep-like feast hall.
The Terrain Apprentice at the end was great. My son is only 2 1/2. I cannot wait until he is old enough to do some modeling with.
Thanks for the video.
Cheers mate, I'd probably make the roof as a detachable piece, made out of balsa beams with a stiff cardboard roof. Teddy bear fur make very good thatch roofs, beyond that, you're looking at cardboard/plasticard shingles.
We're always building terrain, the kids appear in a few of my vids, it's great crafting with them, you'll love it mate
Hi, little girl! Bye, little girl! Make cool stuff! 😁
Great videos. Just curious what you used to fill the gaps in the doorways between the floors in the various rooms? Thanks
LtMrT1985 Just slivers of foamboard mate. Hope that helps :-)
Super! Thanks! I love your videos and have found them very inspiring. I was starting to go off the idea of building my own buildings because they didn't look as good as MDF/Resin but after seeing this series I'm going to take it slow and follow the videos through and give foam board another try! :-)
Iya mate, may sound like a daft question, when you draw up the "blue prints" of this building do you have, or know the where-abouts of any pre-drawn up blue prints i could print out. The making of the terrain is certainly something I can and enjoy doing, but I do struggle with the mathematical/creative aspect of the construction. cheers buddy, and thanks for the videos, really helpful.
I don't really draw up blueprints mate, I just kinda work it all out as I go along
Apparently, most public buildings in the US (libraries, city halls, some schools, etc) have their plans published as a matter of public record. Some are online, some at the courthouse or similar repository. It depends on the municipality. I've never attempted to recreate a building or use one for reference. My buildings are fairly simple. But I have seen railroad guys get official plans from public record to duplicate something. Others extrapolate from pictures but it sounds like you aren't interested in that.
How come you can make something so simplistic & make it art... camera is ok by me, n hope lil one gets btr soon :-) have fun.
Because it is simple mate, there's nothing hard about this stuff, just a little learning and a bit of time doing it.Cheers mate!
you not glued the floor in now because you have printed both downstair and upstair
i think more easy not glued floor in now its to printed without the floor
Yeah mate, I tend to keep the pieces removable for as long as possible to make it isn't to texture / paint it.
