- Hello Wasteland!
In today's video, we are building Crash Barriers! The kind of terrain that every post-apocalyptic car game needs, and there's a whole bunch of different ways to do it.
And, for everyone in the UK, the second Car of the Month challenge for Gaslands UK, February 2020, Has Begun! :D
Check out Hayland Terrain, the sponsor of this month's competition below;

I especially like their line of 20mm bits suitable for Gaslands and all games post-apocalyptic :-)
It pleases me to no end to say, for the intro music check out V2A;

Gorilla Glue - the original stuff. Activated by water. Use just a tiny drop in the well you’ve made in the foam, then wet the end of the sprue (breathing on it is enough). Sets in an hour. Also expands - so bear that in mind - small amounts or very thin layers work best.
Glue: 3M Super 77. Does not melt foam unless you spray it point blank. The downside is it's a spray and it stays tacky forever. I spray it, flock, then hit it with a clear coat to keep things from getting sticky. You'd want to change your order of operations (sawdust first, then attach the rails), but otherwise, it should work. Have you tried E600?
1" stir.sticks and plastics bits
Great job! These look awesome!
Thanks for your inspiring videos. When it comes to gluing with PVA, I put the glue in the holes, dip the piece into the hole, take it out and let it sit for a few minutes, so that the glue hardens up a bit, then stick the pieces together.
Great stuff! For attaching the "poles", I just used a hole puncher and stuck the poles into the holes together with some low temp hot glue, worked like a charm.
Nice tutorial! Your paint jobs and weathering are fantastic!
I found that if you can dampen the cardboard a bit, it's easier to remove the outer layers, to get to the corrugated parts.
Looking forward to more stuff!
Thank you Paul 😁
Instablaster...
low temp gluegun my man. dremel's got a good one.
3M 77 (at least that is what it is called in the US). It works wonders for the projects that require that specific type of glue application. Might be very specific...
Just stumbled onto your channel. Thank for the great idea and the video
Making these now!
Very recently gotten into Gaslands and this was a great tutorial! Thank you!
I made fences by hot gluing them to cereal box bases. Then I mixed sand I collected from the beach and dried (lots of great variety in size and pebbles) into cheap acrylic caulking and plastered it all over the base and around the fence posts. Dried solid yet slightly flexible, and the texture is awesome to dry brush. The more sand the better and one tube of $2.50 caulking goes a long way like that. It paints up great as bright green grass and you can even shape the caulking as you're placing it. Plus, it's sturdier than foam and doesn't sit as high. The sand and acrylic also give it a nice weight. I'll send photos if requested. Love these barriers, I'll definitely be making some when I start playing Gaslands
Hey I'd love to see some photos man 😁 we all would! Thank you for the advice man! I'll have to do some experimenting
@@jhminiatures7867 is there an email or something I can send them to?
@@dwyerd4532 of course! You can send them to me at hall_j@live.co.uk 😉
And, post them on the Gaslands Facebook page 😁
@@jhminiatures7867 unfortunately I don't have Facebook but I'll send those along your way. Feel free to share them. I'm not entirely sure who I picked the technique up from but it would have been a smaller fantasy rpg channel (I wish I could remember who for credit purposes but it was only a small channel and it was a while ago)
I also remember taking the technique but using it for different purposes.
When applying the caulking you can tease it up with popsicle sticks or toothpicks and it will keep its shape since it's more firm and sticky. Lots of fun to work with and pretty forgiving
@@dwyerd4532 no worries 😉 and hey those look great 😁 I'll have to try that out 😉
Gorgeous scatter terrain from junk. Love these sort of videos! Thank you for this vid.
Thank you Desmond 😉
Love that police cruiser at around 17:16
Great video - I love the idea of spending some time and using creativity to save money and still have something that looks amazing!
Just a little time 😉 that's all it takes man! Thank you 😁
A sanding block works quite well for beveling the foam board. And it's a lot safer for any whose not comfortable doing it with a hobby knife, or has little kids who want to help.
That's a great shout James 😉
That's amazing!
Great video
Love the intro music and new subscriber look forward to next video
If you loved the intro music you should check out V2A! They're the band that did the song 😁
Thanks for the video!
Use a spray bottle to help remove the paper from the corrugation. I also tend to be lazy and leave the back of the paper on because it makes for a stronger joint to the post. Medium density chip board is also a great basing material as it is much less thick and blends in even more. Last tip, find the right size corrugation. A lot of the standard cardboard has corrugation which is out of scale with hotwheels cars.
Thank you man 😉 but I want to clarify, by chip board do you mean like, cereal box card? Or are you talking about a thin particle board?
And aye, size is important. Although I don't think anyone will raise too many eyebrows 😁
I use always a HotGlue gun (the mini one) but only heating it up until the Hotglue are melted, if it get too hot the Styrodur will melt too.
Thank you man 😁 I'll have to give it a try!
A Bic pen cap removes cardboard backing nicely. Light sandpaper cleans them up. Adhesive spray 2 guard rail halves together for durability. Coat the rails with super glue to make them hard like wood or plastic.
Some great advice there man :-) thank you!
@@jhminiatures7867 Revisit because I forgot to thumbs up.👍
The correlation separates easy if you wet it first, dissolve that glue but make sure to let it dry again before tearing because the part you want will be soft.
Thank you Jerric 😉
awesome. thanks for the tutorial.
No worries man 😉
Great A1 Work
Thank you man 😉
low temp hot glue should work just fine, or cheap epoxy.
very nice trick, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome 😁
@@jhminiatures7867 aaaand you also know how to spell "you're" correctly! That puts you ahead of 90% of the average TH-camrs :)
@@mag8mag8 Well I do try xD
Noice!
pls do more vids like these
GRACIAS AMIGO UN A TECNICA DE PINTURA ESTUPENDA ,SOY UNA PERSONA QUE E APRENDIDO SIN TENER LOS MEDIOS PARA ESTUDIAR Y ESTAS TECNICAS DE OXIDACION ME GUSTAN MUCHISIMO BENDICIONES Y GRACIAS POR UN TRABAJO TAN HERMOSO
wat
Can't wait to give this a try, think I'll skip the sawdust part and make the bases look like ruined concrete instead hopefully it'll save me some build time.
No worries man 😉 and aye, concrete foundations are a classic 😁 just put a bit of time into the drybrushing
Superglue and backing soda should do the trick.
It hardens i stantly and there should be no time for the foam to melt.
I never tried it thou.
13:50 your voice transformed to the great Christopher Hitchens lol
To quote Miniature Mashup...."my favorite glue is E-6000." that will work on those support beams i believe.
me? I don't want to mess around with those foam bases, i love the whole project, just not those foam bases. too time consuming.
I am going to use the very hard cardboard from packing boxes to make the base, other than that yours are awesome man. I am really liking your style lately JH, you seem to have gone up another level with Gaslands stuff, AND I am LOVING IT!
wait! just figured out what to use as bases...tongue depressors. dead on match brother!
maybe try black tea bags instead of saw dust. it already comes dirt colored!
dries SUPER fast also!
Thank you! That's the sort of thing I am looking for 😁
And thank you man. I put a lot of work into my videos and I like to think people can see the progression 😂 there's still a way to go until they're perfect, but they're getting there 😉
@@lordnagatron tongue depressors and popsicle (lollipop) sticks are always solid tools in any modeller's arsenal 😉
Wow, I never knew about this trick. Though, I think instead of barriers, I'll use them for a make-shift bumper.
I like the sound of that 😉 although like others have pointed out, if you get a smaller size corrugation, it's more in scale.
👍🏻
1:25, that poor MINI.
Well, people should drive more carefully 😅 at least until the apocalypse starts!
Great video thanks for the idea. I am totally making these. But I found a low temp hot glue gun is great for the foam. Also there is a corrugated construction paper out there too.
Aye some great suggestions there 😉 thank you!
@@jhminiatures7867 Yeah low temp hot glue gun for foam, really quick. You could also seal your foam with some modge podge/black paint ala Black magic craft.
@@jhminiatures7867 Also low temp hot glue and craft sand for texture is quick. I usually add in bits of sprue for rocks or bricks.
@@benhart6690 that's a good shout to be fair 😉 I can see how it could be easy to build small piles of rubble and debris 😁
Use UHU SUPER, it's a CA glue with a 1 minute working time, safe to use with foam.
I'll have to look into it 😉 thank you Pagan!
I watched this, and like a couple weeks later I made my own.
Man mine got all warped. I couldn't figure it out, "what did I do wrong" ran through my mind alot.
I think my sealant mix was a bit watered down... it looks like yours is not. You suppose that was it?
Now I made the work because being wasteland centric, I just put rust effects where the warping was and made it drip down there. So, I guess they'll work
The actual card barrier part? Well if it's not multiple layers of card that won't help, although the glue/paint mix should help regardless.
My advice would be to post a picture on the Gaslands FB page, so we can see what you mean :-)
UK crash barriers are stainless? Maybe you mispoke? Here in the US, we use galvanized steel so it just seems like a really weird idea to me.
Tape
Are you using a folding table as your craft table?
Are you watering down those citadel paints as you would when painting a miniature?
Yes :-) well, when it calls for it. Painting terrain is just like painting anything else. The surfaces and materials might be different, but it's still paint-on-brush action 😁
how about using EVA foam instead of foam board. Than you can use a greater variety of glues, including CA's
A good idea to be fair 😉 certainly something to experiment with 😁
When you say black poster paint, do you actually mean poster paint or just cheap acrylic? Because they are very different things and dont wanna be getting the wrong one >
Whats the song playing in the intro?
V2A warboy 😉. Check the description
Gesso?
How long did this take
Couple hours :-) It's all about the drying times.
What if you don't have sprue
Then try the plastic tubes you get from lollipops and soap dispensers :-)
Why not use hot glue?
I believe it runs the risk of melting the foam, because of the heat.
That 38 second audio assault in the beginning was not really necessary. Way too loud. Please normalize your videos in your editing software for your music to work better.
Apart from that tiny bit the video was freakin' awesome. Thanks for your hard work.
Working on it man 😉 with every video I'm trying to improve and get better, so there will be hiccups like that from time to time.
@@jhminiatures7867 I hope the feedback helps and did not come off as too annoying. Have a great one!
