So 2 things. Even if silicone leaks, you can pour extra over it and it will be like 1 piece. 2 silicone if it's the good stuff, will remove bubbles itself. With that said, Nice job!
As others have already pointed out, when mold makers say to use LEGO bricks they are absolutely being specific about brand. LEGO tolerances can be tight enough that I've seen people make builds that hold water without needing to be sealed in any way. While assembling the blocks does take longer than just gluing something up to make a mold box, the reusability is a big draw for people who are concerned about getting the most out of their materials/scraps and don't want to make throwaway boxes.
This video is an instant classic. Has a good plan, liquid that betrays, adapting after not having enough supplies, using random parts, and an amazing finished product that i want to go and make myself.
Chain link fences were the 2nd piece of terrain I ever made (a rock was the first). I made my parents buy a specific bag of onions to get the right mesh. This is an excellent take on a classic!
That's a true junior hobbyist moment right there! 🙂
@@abmackay we all start somewhere 😄
I was concerned about your luck; especially with resin AND silicone! I am so glad that your molds came out good!
BTW, smart decision to color the plaster while wet! Looks like genuine concrete! Good on you, man!
These are very cool. Nice build Jeremy! I had this weird megazord casting kit when I was a kid and haven't cast anything in plaster since then, but it looks like a useful material to have in the toolkit.
Dude, once again, I'm blown away by your creativity. This is exactly the kind of manageable project that people can do. Thanks for doing this!
I tend to make sure i paint a thin layer of epoxy on everything before doing your pour. Helps seal small holes and cracks in your mold
Little bit of knowledge on silicone that has helped me a few times: Silicone sticks to silicone really well, to the point where you often can't tell it was cured separately. I've repaired moulds that have been used a few times by adding the scrapings of another batch of silicone. Sometimes it's so good you can't tell it's a repair, and sometimes it does eventually fail again, but I always get a few more casts from the mould.
Cool build! I like the idea of using cast plaster as concrete, darkening the outer layer, then chipping to expose the lighter under layers for a fresh damage look. I also have always wanted to cast the plaster with real metal wire embedded in it, and then brake away plaster fore an exposed rebar effect.
I can see I'm not the first to mention the building brick brand, but I've always used proper LEGO brand legos. But I'm also a Star Trek, Halo, and Masters of the Universe fan so I have grabbed some Mega Construx kits here and there and I have been appalled at the lack of quality control that I'm used to with actual LEGO. You can grab a fairly decently priced box of generic LEGO bricks that are perfect for mold walls.
The problem is, that the stones are not original LEGO. Originial LEGO fits much better.
beat me to it. lol
Was gonna say this 😅
My daughter just got into normal sized legos..........
Even worse, it looks like it’s LEGO and Mega Blocks mixed together!
The horror!
@@ShallowVA Blasphemy at work!!
You can actually use Quikrete quick-setting cement, you can get a 10 lb bucket for $10-$14 or get a 50 lb bag or pails for $20 or so. You can make it where it is pourable for what you did or make it thicker so it is sculptable and pressing it in creates those beautiful voids that look like damage.
It is a fun material to play with and can be used to make useful items around the home and shop.
Nature is healing! Jeremy is returning to the Dollar Store builds!
The fences look great! I was always hesitant to use foam as a mold prototype but it looks like it works fine. Need to try this out as well!
Foam works great as a master.
i been wanted to make a dinosaur enclosure diorama for ages, and this video is perfect for me to take some ideas for the fencing, thank you very much!
Looks great! I think with the original fence design, making a larger corner piece or gate might work to deal with the loose end though your revised plan seems great to build the mesh/body.
I know from the Miniature Hobbyist videos, he'd use the legos and flat lego platform for the silicone rubber mold kit which is then later filled with sprue goo (melted sprues).
the plastic holders for the costco kirkland plastic wrap rolls looks like a futuristic turbine
The shape of the fence posts (and using Lego for the mold box) made me think of those double angular beams you get in Lego technics stuff.
Probably not the right size for something like this, not to mention expensive and you'd have to fill in the holes. Unless you find some cheap knockoffs and use it to make pipe rail fences, I guess.
Or maybe something like cheap plastic coat hangers. Just a thought.
Good eye. They wouldn't be that expensive, you can probably get them for 20 cents each from a reseller. Even if they're 50 cents each you can still make a pretty awesome looking run of fence for not very much money.
Love the grungy dark atmosphere of these.
I'm building a power plant this past week. And REALLY struggling with the fences lol. So this is just perfect.
Really cool addition to this huge set! It`s crazy that few little fences can add so much details to an already existing huge masterpiece! Good job buddy!
I love your videos. They are always very informative with no nonsense. You just get right into it after a very brief intro. Thank you for inspiring me.
Excellent addition to the set! I also share your sentiments about 40k. One page rules has a far superior system IMO.
Nicely done! I love how you apply techniques from your past work as a contractor to these builds. I see the thought process and the problem solving happening in real time. So cool!
When you run out of hands, a couple of inexpensive hemostat forceps from Amazon can help grip wire for you.
Just as I am building a precinct Fortress for the palanite Enforcers and begane working on the fence you drop this video. Thank you very much man! 👍
they look great!!! love those things!!
Thanks for keeping it real and showing us all the aspects of the hobby.
Look for rolls of 1X1 welded wire mesh on amazon. Cut it in rows at 2 1/2 inches so that you have two full square segments and a little half inch segment you can bend in a direction to attach with wire to be the barbed wire top. At 32 mm it looks like the tubing of a chain link fence. I superglue screen door screen to this frame to create the chainlink mesh.
Cool, I'll make some of these for my 1/12 and 1/18 Action Figures.
That looks amazing, as alway.
Love, love, LOVE these!
For a little variety, perhaps some concertina wire across the top would look nice as well.
Nice idea, Jeremy!
- I'm gonna use LEGOS
*USES MEGABLOCKS INSTEAD*
(LEGO FANDOM) -"Screeches in pain"
This is some classic BMC goodness.
Cool video. I really appreciate that you don't shy away from showing when something doesn't go to plan. As to why your blocks were leaking while others (myself included) haven't faced that problem, my guess would be the kind of brick you were using. While I am not familiar with the brand you were using, in my experience no off brand Lego fits as good as the real deal (especially brand new ones)
That was my guess too.
The silicon also looks much thinner and less viscous than most I usually have use myself, so that might also factor in with that issue. But all's well that end's well, right? :D
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial you could also try duplo blocks, lego's bigger brother. less gaps to cause problems
An awesome video and also thank you for including some of the mistakes. Feels good knowing not every idea works perfectly like on other channels. The motto “Never give up, never surrender” is what I think about when watching your videos. Thanks for showing us that mistakes can happen and eventually overcome so long as we push on :)
Nice build. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great Build. Another one I can build myself. Amazed at how you are able to do this consistently!
Cool beans man! I’ve been planning a Star Wars themed police impound yard to park my tire fighter model and wanted to make some fencing, this is perfect!
Love the plaster casting. Really looks like concrete. These fences came out awesome. Would like to see how the cast resin post idea turns out.
OnePageRules Grimdark Future, for when you love the 40K theme, but hate the rules.
What a dope idea
Love these videos even though I don't play nor do I build models 😅... Just love watching the artistry
2 things. I use Lego for molds, and if your going to do a deep or pour or using a thinner silicone use clear packing tape on the inside of the mold to help seal up the gaps. Second thing, use a vibration/ high frequency multi tool without an attachment on it to help degas the molds if you have trouble with bubbles in the molds
Hilarious! I love that you just wing it and go with what you have. I don't feel so crazy anymore. I'm forever wanting to build stuff and end up winging it to get things done. Nice job on the fences. And way better than the other version I have found since I don't solder.
Excellent as always. Good heads up on the Lego. Cheers!
Your videos are great, but I'm always a fan when you lean into the synthwave soundtrack
Thanks! great video!
This was Great!
For a post-apoc game, have you tried out Mutants and Death Ray Guns from Ganesha Games? He has a bunch of minis rules for pretty cheap. The games play quick and are a blast.
Nice! Great stuff.
Very smart! Love this kind of project! Not only for WH
Another great video that shows I need more time to do more. Thanks again.
Nice technique, thanks for sharing, also like the fact you've shown a workaround for when you run out of materials like a normal person :)
Pretty cool!
Grate job!
Good job covering the double up with your hand in the thumbnail
Not intentional lol
Very cool!!
Nice love your work
I love your vids keep up
The awesome work. You got me to make my own minis out of junk laying around but still it is fun to do
great idea!
looks great
Great vid, thanks.
You just have to line the inside of the Lego with Vaseline.
That will make sure the silicone wont leak out
very nice build! i think you sold me on that heating pad. my wife does resin work and that would probably make things a lot easier for her...maybe
Good stuff
Love this
Chipboard strips made into an i-beam would also be a viable option instead of using balsa wood for the posts
Absolutely
When I saw the thumbnail for this video I had thought that you had printed a background image and glued it to the back side of the fences to use as terrain for an edge of the game board.
I wonder if putting petroleum jelly on the inside - fill in the gaps and make the mold come off the legos more easily.

(Industrial Music Stops)
Lol. Raided the kids toys huh? Awesome as always.
Who hasn't? People without kids, I guess. I've totally stolen random kinder egg trinkets etc to make miniature items 😏
when You have problem with resin leaking from lego use paper towel. It gonna stop it in seconds. Towel itself become great tape. But dont use it between lego pieces couse You will not recover them. It gonna be rock solid
If your wanting to play 40k but alternate rules try One Page Rules Grimdark Futures, in some ways its a bit too simple but its a very nice change from the rules bloat.
Awesome!
Damn that's cool
Your videos are really helpful! Have you made on on a contemporary/sci-fi weapons locker?
Can you do a video about tabletop games you like and why
BOOM love it
Reminds me of the massive pile of fences of a similar type that I did a LONG while ago...the mesh would have made those so much easier, but I kind of went for something based on the Tyrannosaurus Paddock from Jurassic Park with them being tall and wire between them. The few that are still intact look good, but those things were a pain to make and the posts ended up being far to easy to break off the bases despite the entire thing being plastic and with the plastic glue used...cutting three layers of plasticard for each post, then using some model railroad layout pieces for highway barriers with some more layers of plasticard to widen them along with some other weight...
The wiring was also a pain, but might have been less of one due to drilling holes for them rather than grooves.
Then, when they were finished, the store I was going to be using them in told me that I couldn't use them because the wire was fine enough to be dangerous despite being cheap jewelery wire from a craft store...so they were on my shelf unused save as decoration for the dinosaur minis that I have
Really need a gate and maybe a couple of 90° sections.
Wondering if you could make a single fence post end cap instead of doubling up posts
My 3d printer is in a chilly room time of year. I've thought about using those electric thermostat controlled pads that go under tile in bathrooms and the like. Wonder if those pads work? Less hassle for sure! Cool vid, BMC.
those really look great. The plaster base was a novel idea.
Put some non-sulfur containing clay around the edge of your dam (the legos) or some hot glue to prevent that. You could probably use RTV too but..extra wait time as it cures.
Thank you , l had to show thus to my kids , because it is now OK if l made the same mistakes that you did. , l made some road barriers for a zombiecyde game l just used a screw in the bottom of some of them and old washers on the base of others. Cool build thank you.
To use the legos, just pass a coat of Vaseline with a brush on the legos before pouring the silicone is enough.
This looks great For those of us with a touch of stupidity and who lack the estimator's eye, rough measurements are always welcome.
Happy assfreezingseason to everyone in the shack with you (incl. you).
Great build, those fences would work really well in a Fallout style desert wasteland. If you're finding the 40k rules too fiddly, check out Xenos Rampant.
To make the mesh easier to handle you can use a torch or even your gas stove. Grab the mesh with a plier and heat it with the the tip of the flame until you see a blue hue on the wire. Let it cool down on roomteperature and you're good to go. Keep in mind that there's a good chance you won't be able to hit the mesh with the same amount of heat so harder more springy spots are to be expected. You can repeat the process as many times as you like. The better way to do this is to use a furnace or a campfire, the latter having the drawback that the surface will get covered in ash, but both will heat your mesh uniformly and give you a nice, soft, easy to handle material.
You can do the same trick with any wire to make them moremanageable.
What Saw is that you use to Cut the wood at 5:48 ?😊
molding the post would be faster but great work looked very realistic
Awesome
Completely agree with you about Overlord. It was alright, but it didn't do either the WWII aspect or the horror aspect justice. They had a really cool idea and just played it too safe imo. The zombies were generic, the characters were one-note stereotypes, and except for like one part it wasn't scary.
Silicone has a nasty habbit of finding any little hole to leak through.
Maybe 1or 2 small warning posters would have been awesome to give a better scale effect ^_^
"TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN"
This scratched an itch I didn't know I had
actual lego snaps together way tighter than that. there's your problem, off brand building blocks.
