  • If you're in the US and you're not sure where to find 3" foam or thicker, online seems to be the best option same as it is in the UK. I've found a link here that will deliver to the UK, so it sure as hell should deliver to you guys! insulation4us.com/collections/rigid-insulation/products/owens-corning-foamular-250-xps-insulation-board-all-sizes?variant=32154942177329 They are sold in large sheets of 8'x4', which means you will need to cut these down a bit and will need to buy a solid sheet at a time, but it's totally possible and still quite affordable, given how long that sheet will last you. You can select thickness on the right. From the looks of it, it would pretty much cost me the same as my local foam, even with $60(!) delivery to the UK, though you would be buying twice as much at once as I did with mine... Also it's pink foam, not blue, which from what I've heard is slightly better for taking texture and is less fibrous, but this is second hand knowledge coming from black magic craft. I've also linked the version with higher compressive strength, as I'm presuming that will be the hardest version that should take texture the best and squash the least - though that is theory on my part, I've not had many opportunities to test this theory. Hope this helps! Also if anyone has any questions about the system and how it works, or any ideas to share just ask! I'm here and happy to answer :)

  • I think what's so great about your work is how creative it gets, you always go so far to showcase what your systems are capable of, to the point where you're practically inspiring rather than presenting. Each example looks like it's part of a story, and that's what is so fantastic about your work. And the youtube algorithm needs to favour you more because your effort and work goes above and beyond.

  • So I pretty much watch crafting videos for hours to get ideas for my own dungeon and dragon campaigns. Pretty much been nixed with Covid, but I love crafting anyway. For me your designs are the in between I like the most. Other crafters focus on cost and go low end. Others spend money on expensive items to allow crafting with purchased grass and plaster terrain and a bunch of other things. So I have subscribed to yours while I have avoided subscribing to the multitude of others. One thing I do, however, on the expensive side is 3-D print, which can be the expensive side and counter to what I talked about previously, but more of an interest for me since I do design work. You would be amazed how the combination of 3-D printing and crafting can make things with that extra wow factor.

The use a black epoxy, resin, or method of choice to make a sort of void. fits into most walls quite well and can be used as a whole on a floor as well

  • I know where you could have improved these blocks. If you had used a dice number system. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, were the opposite side would equal up to 7. But change the 6 hole side with 9 holes. This would have made it easier to hide the holes when building your terrian. This would have made all even number sides match up, and and all odd numbers sides match up with the odd sides.

    • @Kid Buu you definitely could, if you're gluing them after cutting either tacky glue or a thin layer of hot glue should work fine, just bear in mind a thick layer of hot glue can add a fraction of height which when you stack them up can mess with your measurements :) for filling the gaps check out my kobold tunnels video, I show how to hide magnets using milliput or modelling compound on that build. I'd recommend making the join slightly recessed and indented so the dry compound or putty doesn't scrape against other blocks and scratch off paint, it's more prone to that than foam is (milliput less so than compound) :)

  • I have had just about everything I need to make terrain like this for a few years now, oh, all apart from the space Lol, about the only free space I have in my flat is my bed and I have to share that with a German Shepherd dog most of the time 😀 I made a few tiles (never painted them or fit magnets in them, yet) some time ago but they are buried under boxes of half-built kits & printed mini's waiting for paint also. I'm considering making some terrain to display things that I can mount on the wall as I have a few feet of clear space not big enough to fit shelving, hmm I need to move some of these built aircraft & space ships onto my roof, that should free up some shelf space so I could move some finished stuff away and enable me to finish some more Lol life is hard sometimes😉 I Do like your mounting magnets to everything! wonder if I could mount a dungeon on a wall? shame I don't have one big or clear enough but it is a good idea 🙂 worth investigating I believe, hmm a dungeon on my roof & a pole to move the mini's, I would have to use a small step ladder to put the tiles up, shame I don't think fitting a steel sheet up there is feasible, hmm **goes cross-eyed staring vacantly at the ceiling!**

    • Thanks Kate! So, honestly, I did play around with the magnets and it's not totally impossible to do, it's just a lot more work, cost and that I'm not sure many people are up for, so I went back to the sticks as a nice easy solution. Honestly though they're a lot easier to use than the half inch versions I used in the first version of the wood tiles, so thus far I'm fairly happy using them instead of magnets anyway. It also combines well with allowing accessories anywhere and makes overhanging blocks plenty secure :)

  • Hi man, this is a bit late but hopefully you still see this :S I'm a big fan of your channel and your work, and I particularly love these mountain blocks along with your cave tiles! I do have one question though: did you manage to find a method to consistently cut the inverted corner blocks (the ones you said could potentially be optional) on the hot wire cutter? I'm getting ready to finally make myself a set of more vertical blocks and stuff, and I can't seem to get my head around it in any easy way besides setting up an angled jig on my proxxon. Would love to hear your take on it, as I feel like I may well just be overthinking it! :') Thanks again for the fantastic content!

    @DoubleTripleJ@DoubleTripleJ3 жыл бұрын

    • For the angled corners I found it was easiest to draw on the templates, then just hold the piece manually and cut a chunk off just above the template lines on all sides. If you did this, you could then line the wire up with it at an angle and place other blocks of the same type flat on the proxxon, but you still wouldn't be able to use the guide because you'd need to hold the piece at a 45 degree angle to get the right cut still, if you see what I mean :)

Then just use a knife to trim down the foam until it matches the corner template lines :) you can have the corner either bulging or flat depending on how much you cut off from the 'middle' :)
