for cheap cutting discs, I do mean cheap, I make my own, here is how: 1. Get a Little Debbie snack cake box (or something similar) 2. A craft 1" circle punch 3. 3/32" hollow punch Cut about 1.5" strips from the empty box. Put the strips in the craft punch. You can make about 20-30 in a couple of minutes. Take the 3/32" hollow punch and put the center mounting hole in the paper disc. This is the mandrel mounting hole, and you are all set. This friction cuts through PLA and styrene as is. This was with the $7 rotary tool from Harbor Freight. It is cheaper than regular cutting discs, and you can use the hole punch for making other paper-based items, along with the hollow punch set, they are useful for a variety of materials.

I was actually quite disappointed in Guy's build. I was expecting terrain. I was expecting him to follow his own rules. I was expecting something with depth and usability. He let me down for sure. YOU ON THE OTHER HAND... You freaking murdered this challenge!!! Absolutely epic!!! What an incredible outcome. Every TH-camr in this hobby can take notes from your formula. I appreciate you so much Jeremey! Never stop!!!
Yeah if i ever have room for more stuff (if. Tarantulas take up a lot of my free space), I think i'll do this for terrain. Ridiculously nice for the cheap cost.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Ahahah :D I love you and your videos! What about some crazy D&D Underdark terrain before Baldurs gate 3? :) It would be super cool :)
These turned out super well!! I love the kitbash stuff like this. Its not something I'm personally super creative with but its amazing what a coat of paint can do to make something look like a bit of scifi scenery.
I think the real secret is just being able to look at it while building as though it's painted. If you can visualize everything as one colour while working on it you can come up with a lot more cool things.
You gotta love water gun challenges and those Dollarama water guns, eh 😉 Great result here, I think the small pair with the striped pattern plastic are my favourite.
This was freakin awesome dude. Also, i kind of loved the two part video editing. Like, first part let the video speak for itself as far as whaf your doing, then an explanative 2nd part just to give us a rundown after the fact. Hearing what you did on the piece while seeing it completed in front of you just kind of made it click for me. Great job man. Love ya
Hey, Guy sent me here. Your terrain crushed his - like an eagle would crush a butterfly. Please don't tell him I said that... I want to tell him muahahaha :D
Awesome work! And just when I thought I would go exclusively 3d printed terrain, your work gives me a reason to try kitbashing again. Time to buy supplies!!
Your creativity amazes me. Thank you for doing this "totally silly" job and sharing it with us. You are an inspiration. Yes, you won the challenge. Congratulations!
I got started on miniatures with Necromunda, and one of the most fun parts of terrain building was being able to look at weird bits of junk, broken stuff, ordinary household items and old, busted toys and turn them into stuff that looked amazing with relatively little effort. It's always fun to see that tradition carrying on.
I will never understand why everyone paints real sand. It looks so much better and (surprise surprise) more real unpainted. The little flecks of colored rock sediment look awesome.
Once again, epic job. Never thought of water guns as a material. Genius. Must say, your airbrush skills are getting crazy good. Also, for a minute, I thought your only dialog was going to be your line in the very beginning about how many guns to use...this would've been hilarious if it were the only thing you said until the reveal. Great job Jeremy
I love all the collaborations you guys are doing. It’s a nice reminder that we’re still all united in this hobby even with the world going a little crazy and having to be isolated.
Great video good Sir! Found you via Midwinter Minis and can l just say you have an amazing channel. Definitely a case of the same starting point but two very different outcomes; both exceptional. I am going to use elements from both videos and see what happens, and on that note l'm off to the pound shop and DIY Store to buy some essentials. Oh by the way l would call it an honourable draw.
Great video man! I really enjoyed the opening montage. It was just really well put together, as was the entire video. You and the other modeling, miniature, crafting type channels really help me get out of the "everything is awful" head space the different medias often seems determined to pull me into! A nice reminder that life keeps going, and we should not stop enjoying it! anyway, thanks for the content!
i liked this video before i even watched it, because i LOVE these challenge videos. You got the technical win this time, because your terrain is playable and you also stuck strictly to the rules, while that cheeky bastard intended to cheat from the beginning (i had never seen his channel before, so the "fun" part made me subscribe to him immediately. However, i totally say there should be a rematch, or another challenge, because i feel your honesty and sticking to the rules limited your creative talent to REALLY bring out what you can do with these pieces. Thanks again for an awesome video!
I got hooked on the miniature painting and terrain painting videos recently and I'm planning on buying some XPS foam and tools asap and start experienting. First I am going to use my hobby quality acrylics, because I don't know yet if it's worth of investing a lot yet. But you and few other channels have been a very big inspiration for me to try this. So thank you for making this kind of videos. To you and everybody who makes this kind of content available for us. PS at first I thought you'd have to paint with the water guns, lol :D
Awesome to see an entire table of terrain from 1 project, pretty wild to think about. It was also cool how true to the original prompt you stayed basically just slapping a base on the plastic parts.
Great project! Through the first half I kept thinking of how I'd approach this, and I'd use my benchtop band saw. I can't recommend a small band saw enough. It makes short work of MDF and HDF for bases, and would be my go to tool for cutting through those water guns. (In fact, I have used it to cut through water guns for my own projects before.) If you don't have a little band saw, you can get one for about $100 USD (give or take). It's an essential tool for my terrain projects. I use it about as often as I use my Proxxon hot wire table. I swear by that thing.
@@erictripps125 i think it's utterly ironic that the term "nerfing" is used in the video game world to mean something was made less powerful, whereas in real life people take Nerf guns and replace the firing spring etc to make it hit harder, basically un-Nerfing
I realize you put this video out a year ago but WOW. I’m always amazed when I see what movie props, scenes and terrain are made from. You turned those water pistols into great Mad Max post apocalyptic structures. I’m just amazed. I also want to thank you for sharing your techniques. I actually just finished building the hexagon fountain, my first attempt at building terrain. It turned out pretty cool, thank you for the tutorial.
Love how this worked out. Not only do the pieces look great, but I like how well they matched the mat you wanted to use them with. Very Mad Max, Adeptus Mechanicus, even Dune-ish.
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you I really like your content man, it's so inspiring to see how you can make even a bunch of water guns into some slick terrain!
Yey .. again a variation of video presentation. Loved that video from the beginning with the voiceover to the message. Showing some not seen before painting techniques is also cool. Till the end ist cool video. Maybe you should do a sitting dance contest? Your skills are great! :-)
I feel like Guy's thing was built using 50% water guns and the rest was a bunch of other additives... even so, and while his piece looks cool, you are the clear winner, hands down because you actually used only water guns on bases and nothing else, and managed to make some super rad looking pieces. Oh, and it was so nice getting this video early as a new patreon :D
It's nothing short of amazing how great the pieces look in the end even as you still kinda spot some of the original shapes, if you had added bits and greeblies it would have passed for bought terrain, just great job!
Great work. In regards to sculptamold, have you ever thought about just making your own? It may not be as good as the name brand stuff, but in terms of quantity vs cost, it works! Try mixing cellulose insulation with plaster of Paris.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial fair enough haha. Was just a thought. Here is a video in case you change your mind and also just to give credit where credit is due as it is not my recipe. th-cam.com/video/MTMq8JmgYg0/w-d-xo.html
Wow this is another great project. I really liked Guy's arena build - that's really cool, but ultimately, scatter terrain is always more useful going forward than single large builds, so yours gets my vote in this challenge :)
Relatively new terrain crafter here. Was inspired by your channel. I kept thinking, ‘that is so cool, ‘ as I watched this vid. Very cool and simple build.
Nice build!!!! Ya I've used kit bashed squirt guns for years and they always do a good job. I built an entire terrain table around a squirt gun that looked like an anti star ship emplacement. Handles I use under decks to hide what they are. LOVED the video as it brought back happy memories. Oh get a band saw I don't rotary tool anything unless I absolutely have to and sorry about your scroll saw!!!!!!!!!
I really like the one you called your favorite, too! The combination of parts looks like an integrated industrial thing with storage tank and smokestack, and I think it works really well.
Awesome work, that's a fantastic looking set of sci-fi scatter terrain! I think I'd have to hand you the win on this challenge. I love Guy's backdrop, but this is a seriously nice set of terrain that I would love to play over. I actually really like the small "L" shaped pieces the most.
Love this project!! We have used the odd waterpistol before on an Infinity terrain but this is awesome! Guess we gotta get a load of water pistols then xD
Excellent video! Those water guns make some amazing looking terrain. Props to you on mastering that airbrush! Next to watch Guy's version. Thanks for your videos, man. You are always inspiring.
Excellent stuff as usual. I think you and Midwinter Minis posted a the same time! His was pretty neat buuuuut gotta give it to you for sticking to ONLY water guns! Although I think there would be nothing wrong with making platforms and railings and adding some cool hoses and stuff on the things you built. BUCK ROGERS BUILD!! :D
Ok I TOTALLY misunderstood the challenge. I thought it meant "paint using the waterpistols" and figured "oh wow that's a trainwreck waiting to happen". This makes WAY more sense ROFL Awesome stuff! Love how it turned out!
At 7:40 with the "Buck Rodgers" architecture, I thought: "I wish Black Magic Jeremy would cross over with model-master Boyd from TrekWorks!" Every modeler needs to see his walkthroughs and tutorials... there would be so much to learn if worlds collided!
Definitely nailed the win. As Guy notes in his own video, he disqualified himself for using other materials. But I like your 3d finish to the terrain over Guy's Roman freize type finish. First time I have seen your work. You do well in keeping the vid going and interesting. More power to you.
So, on that 1950s piece (which I thought looked great) a fun way to turn any organic shape to grimdark is black + green (like bio, glowy green) accents. Also spikes at the top of organic shapes instantly give a sinister look to otherwise retro-looking structures.
i've been looking for stuff to make eldar style terrain and the curves on those water guns are perfect. instead of making them worn and grimdark I'd just make them look nice and shiny. thank you for the accidental inspiration!
You became a disused factory, factory there! I find rotary tools tricky [but not impossible] for this 'chop-shop' stuff, awkward corners, nooks etc. I use a 'junior' hacksaw as we call it in the UK for this purpose. Make sure the watergun, old plastic truck/plane or casing from unwanted CD players etc is secured well. A small tabletop vice is ideal, maybe some soft packing to avoid damage to the part, but once its held firm, hacksaws of all sizes are ideal. A bit of clean up with a utility blade and voila!
You definitely win this one. I love the oil tanks you came up with. (Also you stayed more true to the challenge without going to a bits box or using premade items.)
That unfinished one that looks like it came from the 50s would look awesome to have 3 lasers firing from them into the sky, like in the climax of every super hero movie
right?! i'd love to see that with like, some LED lighting effects, maybe a ladder support of the tall tubes as they extend several feet tall, and the LED chaser lights operate.
Great build! They would look fantastic if filmed with a dodgy camera, to get an effect like the ones taken by the 'probot' of the Rebel power generators on Hoth in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I'm looking at those models, and my 'exposed to over 50 years of science fiction' brain is yelling: 'Abandoned terraforming station!' I'm going to make some to display a diecast 'Starbug' from 'Red Dwarf' with.
I love that you shoot some video in front of your shelf of done crafts, buildings and minis, as we've seen most of the videos. I wish I had the space. What games are you playing with this grim looking terrain?
Great video and I watched both your's and Guy's video. You are the clear winner, even if Guy didn't cheat, which he did (and admitted) with the Pegasus terrain and several other bits that were not from the water guns. You stuck to your...guns...and knocked it out of the park. I also love the cross pollination of channels, using Luke's ground cover and 'sculptamoldl like' product. Regarding the 'Buck Rodgers' piece, I think a soft plasma glow on the central oval parts would make a cool power generator. I'll be looking for what you come up with in a later video, even if it takes a year or so to bring it back out. Cheers
Another cool video. I actually loved the “Buck Rogers” vibe, but that’s just me. (Side note: I’m always floored by how many TH-cam crafters refer back to you as the OG.)

Jeremy: "Weird 1950s retro Buck Rogers look that just isn't grimdark to me."
Adeptus Mechanicus: "How dare you."
I love Adeptus Mechanicus style....but it's nothing like childish 1950s space stuff.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Just paint that piece up in some kind of chrome. It could also be retro-future 1940s art deco style. :P
Not my jam. At least not for this. It would be cool for some sort of Fallout style rpg or skirmish game though.
I was going to say that 1950s retro Buck Rogers + Grimdark = Métal Hurlant. :)
That retrofuturistic atompunk aesthetic seems to work well with Eldar terrain - and a welcome change from empire of men :)
Mid winter minis sent me over yeah you whooped that arse
Sorry Guy and Penny but cheating dosnt prosper
@@RaptorsBlood they had an advantage cause they cheated and yours still looks way better
Both mid minis and BM craft need band saws. They take wayyyyyyyy less time to use than rotary tools. Ps yes they did cheat but they had good reason.
Turned out great. You both took very different approaches but in the end yours is much more playable, which is the winner to me!
I also didn't cheat!........... XD
I dunno based on what they said about playability...
Jacob Hoekman well yeah but they also did cheat.
So we
Can ignore the playability stipulation.
I’m not gonna lie, my first though was “man I wonder how they’re gonna paint with water guns and be effective”
Have you been watching a lot of Jazza?
Black Magic Craft absolutely and unashamedly 🤣
Not gonna lie, I thought the same thing. However I'll now be picking up dollarstore water guns now

I'm getting a Dune feeling form this project. but that's just me, awesome job.
Dune, Arrakis, Desert planet.
Man, I love DUNE....and it seems to be an untapped resource for terrain. Hmmmm....
Black Magic Craft I would love to see some Arrakian builds in the future
Hmmm....dune challenge. Interesting.
I must not fear making terrain. Fear is the mind-killer.
The spice must flow
You gotta love water gun challenges and those Dollarama water guns, eh 😉
Great result here, I think the small pair with the striped pattern plastic are my favourite.

I absolutely love the Mad Max: Martian ForgeWorld look of this terrain.
Definitely making this for my table!
1:24 i thought that would have been a cool looking crashed spaceship, the yellow piece looks like a cockpit.
Guy cheated, and you knocked this out of the park! :)
This gives me some Gaslands Ideas. That one you didn't prime at all to me look like an interesting piece.
Hey, Guy sent me here. Your terrain crushed his - like an eagle would crush a butterfly. Please don't tell him I said that... I want to tell him muahahaha :D
Poor butterfly.

I saw the top of a little head poke into frame some there - "watcha making, Dad?" :)
Fantastic job, as always!
Has to be one of my fav videos. Combines everything
You totally slew this challenge, without a doubt. And without cheating!!
Over here from Mid winter minis!! Great job!! I really want to see a combination of your train with his backdrop in battle rep... That would be cool 😄
This is awesome, would like to see more challenges like this. That bit you scrapped had a real Fallout vibe to me
I will never understand why everyone paints real sand. It looks so much better and (surprise surprise) more real unpainted. The little flecks of colored rock sediment look awesome.
I explained why. I also didn’t use sand.
These look amazing, they've got such a nice gritty industrial look to them. The paint job really pulled it together :D

VERY cool!!! I really like when you convert random toys to something Epic.
Definite Win - with no cheating!!!! _ reminded me of another waterpistol project I had on the back burner - thanks - very enjoyable - SUBSCRIBED!
Ok I TOTALLY misunderstood the challenge. I thought it meant "paint using the waterpistols" and figured "oh wow that's a trainwreck waiting to happen".
This makes WAY more sense ROFL
Awesome stuff! Love how it turned out!
That retro-style piece might look good in a Fallout game.
At 7:40 with the "Buck Rodgers" architecture, I thought: "I wish Black Magic Jeremy would cross over with model-master Boyd from TrekWorks!" Every modeler needs to see his walkthroughs and tutorials... there would be so much to learn if worlds collided!
Definitely nailed the win. As Guy notes in his own video, he disqualified himself for using other materials. But I like your 3d finish to the terrain over Guy's Roman freize type finish. First time I have seen your work. You do well in keeping the vid going and interesting. More power to you.
Very cool builds , I got some water guns to make terrian , just never had the time to make it , but now that I know it's possible, really cool video !
So, on that 1950s piece (which I thought looked great) a fun way to turn any organic shape to grimdark is black + green (like bio, glowy green) accents. Also spikes at the top of organic shapes instantly give a sinister look to otherwise retro-looking structures.
i've been looking for stuff to make eldar style terrain and the curves on those water guns are perfect. instead of making them worn and grimdark I'd just make them look nice and shiny. thank you for the accidental inspiration!
You became a disused factory, factory there! I find rotary tools tricky [but not impossible] for this 'chop-shop' stuff, awkward corners, nooks etc. I use a 'junior' hacksaw as we call it in the UK for this purpose. Make sure the watergun, old plastic truck/plane or casing from unwanted CD players etc is secured well. A small tabletop vice is ideal, maybe some soft packing to avoid damage to the part, but once its held firm, hacksaws of all sizes are ideal. A bit of clean up with a utility blade and voila!
You definitely win this one. I love the oil tanks you came up with. (Also you stayed more true to the challenge without going to a bits box or using premade items.)
That unfinished one that looks like it came from the 50s would look awesome to have 3 lasers firing from them into the sky, like in the climax of every super hero movie
right?! i'd love to see that with like, some LED lighting effects, maybe a ladder support of the tall tubes as they extend several feet tall, and the LED chaser lights operate.
Kala : "Open fire! All weapons, now! Charge the lightning field! I take personal responsibility in the Emperor's name!"
Great video. It felt a lot like your cool Dollarama tank build. Killer music.
Great build! They would look fantastic if filmed with a dodgy camera, to get an effect like the ones taken by the 'probot' of the Rebel power generators on Hoth in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I'm looking at those models, and my 'exposed to over 50 years of science fiction' brain is yelling: 'Abandoned terraforming station!' I'm going to make some to display a diecast 'Starbug' from 'Red Dwarf' with.
I love that you shoot some video in front of your shelf of done crafts, buildings and minis, as we've seen most of the videos. I wish I had the space. What games are you playing with this grim looking terrain?
So good. Would never know those finished pieces were made from water guns. Really great stuff.
Great video and I watched both your's and Guy's video. You are the clear winner, even if Guy didn't cheat, which he did (and admitted) with the Pegasus terrain and several other bits that were not from the water guns. You stuck to your...guns...and knocked it out of the park. I also love the cross pollination of channels, using Luke's ground cover and 'sculptamoldl like' product. Regarding the 'Buck Rodgers' piece, I think a soft plasma glow on the central oval parts would make a cool power generator. I'll be looking for what you come up with in a later video, even if it takes a year or so to bring it back out. Cheers
Man, this is an awesome build! It has a heavy Fallout vibe and I LOVE it!
I'm looking forward to seeing Guy and Penny's arena battles....... BUT you win this one! These are some awesome looking terrain bits!!
not gonna lie. both sets of terrain together would make a hell of a cool board to play on. also love the colab
Another cool video. I actually loved the “Buck Rogers” vibe, but that’s just me. (Side note: I’m always floored by how many TH-cam crafters refer back to you as the OG.)
All of it actually looks like building and factories from Fallout 4 , awesome man!!!
they came out great mate ! very inspiring
