The lines in the wall bunkers........ The bunkers (in real life) are poured in slip form molds. Concrete structures are just to massive to do in one pour. Additionally the concrete is really thick, like chunky peanut butter, and will stick or clump to anything. Because the concrete is thick the metal reinforcing (rebar) on something vertical (wall or column) has to be poured in layers, then rebar, then another layer.
Look at the walls of the next overpass as your flying down the highway.
Hi Mel, great tutorials that have inspired me to finish my 10mm vietnam terrain. Keep them coming.
Thank you for letting me know! Your work is amazing by the way. Rich
I am actually starting to think this might be my next project, thanks
+Just another Scale Modeler Do it!!!!
Love ya vids Mel, keep up the FANTASTIC work!!!! Glad to see the studio is working out :)
+Exidous96 Thanks buddy
he Mel,
The nice thing about that ruin farm house you can use plastic cement to glue bits of plastic sprue as joists.Then use craft stick or card stock as floor boards. It is cheap and easy.
+Tom Desjardins oh, I like that idea!
Great video Mel and some great looking products too.
Another great product for building sandbag walls is the Hirst Arts Sandbag mould. There are all sorts of shapes that join together however you like to make great looking defences.
It might be worth doing a similar build (Mel's Version) of the sandbag bunker that is featured on the Hirst Arts web site, I think that it would be a good series of tutorials on casting, building and painting. Just a suggestion, so no worries mate.
+jjab99 I didn't know they had a sandbag mold, really? what's the mold number? got a link? I need it!
The Mould number is #340

See this too....

Its a great mould and so flexible as to what you can build too. Have fun!!

Cheers bud
Man you are really good, thanks for the vids, I'm leaning a lot and is someone a budget, first time building models and having a great time. please keep them coming!!! Thanks again
Hope it helps you mate
? why do you put pva glue mixed into your paint
Helps it bond
Considering it will cost you quite a bit for those buildings. I did expect better quality than slightly better than home made
+Vulcan Raven I have to give them props for the foamboard cutting, that level would be beyond me lol
TheTerrainTutor idk man. Doesn’t look much better than your tutorial ones to me.
hi I'm new here love the work cnt wait to see more so plz keep them coming mate all the way from Canada cheers
+Gilbert Lathlin Thanks very much matey
Making rock molds sounds awesome :D - And everything looks great .. makes me want to play some WWII wargames
+Carl Mayne It would be if my latex hadn't gone off
Good overview and seems like nice products. It does bother me though that the house ruin has chimney without fireplace of any kind. Not a big deal but just the little bit of realism that makes it alive is missing.
Nice score mate and by the way that board is coming along nicely.
+AlfonsoTheTraitor Cheers bud
Great overview mate
+IDICBeer cheers bud
The elephant on the gaming table is scale your Anti tank obstacles are 1/72 or 20mm ( Italeri kit no 6147) not 28mm the bunkers look even smaller then 20mm and not 28mm Warlord is very good marketing wrong sale as 28mm.
I actually like seeing these just because recreating these with foam board looks like it would not be that hard really
really nice job.
well like em will see gess part two when in staled in the bord your macking good looking stuff got lok in to it
+redgreen09 It's going to look epic mate
Is that a HUGE electric lighter on your table? And those lines make them look more like concrete I think, suits their look very well.
+tappajavittu Yes, so I don't lose it :-)
Haha, I think I'd need one too, always loosing my lighters.
1)I love your videos.
2) drinking game. ..Do a shot whenever he says "ya?"... : )’
I must admit the fronts of the bunkers look wrong to me. I'd almost say they glued some of the pieces on wrong, upside down or something like that. I have never seen those 'toothed' sides before, and I've seen quit some bunkers in my life.
The bunkers are nice for the price, but nothing like Atlantic Wall Bunkers, which does detract from them a bit.
Hey Mel, is Bolt Action the same scale as WH40K? How many miniatures would you say could hang out in those, if you're putting them in "realistically" (I.E. how many people would man that bunker)? Would your Imperial Guard fit in them and how many could fit (would an entire squad of 10 or so fit and would they have to be cramped in like sardines to do so)?
Also I notice you always really rust up your barbed wire and other rustable defensive terrain. Is that because you like the look of them better when they're rusty or is it personal experience. You talk about experiences in the army so I'm going to make an ass out of you and me by assuming you have lots of experience with it. Does it really rust that fast or is it just left long enough to get that rusty?
Edit: wait you can get tetanus or whatever that disease from metal from it can't you? So leave it to rust and the guys going through it might get sick if their hasty or be really slow going through for fear of disease/infection?
And I forgot to originally ask: about how much area on a typical 4x6 board could these defenses cover for fortifications?
Thanks a ton Mel!
BA is the same scaling as 40K, it was written by the same guys. Ten men would fit in a bunker, or a heavy weapons squad. I like the look of rusted barbed wire but the modern stuff is galvanised, so doesn't rush mate. On the last one, depends on how many lines of defences you want to put down mate
awesome stuff!!!
+coolsskin cheers
Nice vid man! :)
+Erik Bausano Cheers!
What was the purpose of the chevron walls on the bunkers? I've also seen bunkers with only one as well, thank you.
The bunkers were there to fire on forces landing on the beach. So the gun in the bunker is pointed along the length of the beach rather than out to sea ( Enfilade/ defilade).
The wall would be built on the seaward side of the bunker to protect the gun from fire from ships supporting the landing.
Have a gander at the surviving bunkers on the coast of Normandy at Omaha beach.
was the bunkers tall enough to fit the 28mm Bolt Action figures inside.
As long as they're not waving their arms about
Is the barbed wire too big to use for 15mm?
what do you do with all of them and rest that you have built
Stick "terrain tutor d'day" into google mate ;-)
do you think anything will be any good 40K?
+War Forge think the scale for bolt action is smaller than 40k, so the terrain might come out a bit small
thanks yeah
Awsomeee
+Crobat Annoying Pokemon Cheers
Whare did you find them? Just what I'm looking for
Warlord Games
are these in 1/35 scale???
28mm
I think that's 1/72
@@derunterdrucktelinkshander7449 1/56=28mm 1/72=20mm
nice cherry on the cake
+Patrick Bastiaensen Aren't they just :-)
Were you bought all this
Warlord Games mate
I don't know man, those bunkers look way too funky, like badly made foamboard stuff... It wouldn't have taken too long to little bit clean up and make the prototypes proper, considering that it was supposed to be multiplied anyways. Hate to say it but I would've been quite disappointed to unpack those if I had bought them since I'd had to coat them in gloop to use them :(
I mean they look quite allright from distance, and the floorplans are nice too. If this is something people are buying, I might be investing on resin casting equipment and start making those myself :)
+Hashishi I'm looking forward to seeing how they look once I've painted them up mate
+Hashishi ;-D
Hi guys does anyone know if these would be suitable for 1/35 scale ww2 figures / tanks etc . Thanks
Nah, too small mate, these are 1:56
The Tank obstacls are 1/72 scale, the bunkers are 1/56 scale.
How about a n scale house
+arky carmona not sure on that one mate, not sure on the railway scales
Classic Mel is classic
Thank you buddy
Mel if I wanted to contract you to make me a 8 x 4 table in 15mm for flames of war Vietnam and ship it to Miami Florida how long and how much would you charge me I've been wanting to contract you to make me a table for over two years now ever since I've seen the artistic talents you apply to the tables you create please reply at your earliest convenience look forward to talking to my inspiration and mentor I've looked up to in terrain building ever since I started this hobby have a wonderful rest of your day Mel and hope to speak with you soon.
