Updated video using black shoe polish as an ink wash for Thunder Road Vendetta cars.
This video shows how to apply Kiwi liquid black shoe polish as an ink wash to the cars that come in the board game Thunder Road Vendetta. It also shows how to clean up the cars afterwards using rubbing alcohol.
The ink wash is easy to apply and the brushes can be cleaned with water.
This video shows more detail than the older video I had posted a while back.

Playing the Coconuts game using dice
Просмотров 1742 года назад
In this video I show how to play a variant of the coconuts board game using dice instead of the coconuts that come with the game. We use two complete copies of the game in order to have up to eight players play the game at one time. It also requires different colors of dice for each player. Since all players shoot their dice at the same time, games are very quick and fun. Thanks for watching!

This video shows the storage trunk I had made for the Space Hulk game. This trunk contains most of the editions and expansions for Space Hulk over the past years. I make this trunk around 1997, just after the second edition of Space Hulk was released.

Browncatle Crokinole Game Board Unboxing Review
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.2 года назад
In this video I am unboxing a Browncastle Crokinole game board I had purchased. This is my review of the shipping method and also my impression of the game board itself. This game board was purchased from browncastlegames.com/ Keep in mind that I am not a professional player and this is the first board I have ever purchased. I also have no affiliation with Browncastle nor have I received anythi...
Catacombs of Karak Alternate Rules
Просмотров 6513 года назад
This video shows alternate rules we use for the board game Catacombs of Karak produced by Outset Media Games. These rules allow for more than five players (if you purchase two copies of the game) and the game move much faster because all players move and roll at the same time. A normal five player game can take up to 90 minutes. With these rules, the same game can be played in 30 minutes. These...
Great project ! thanks for sharing ..
This looks so fun as a craft project and to play on!
This video feels like a videotape from the 80's explaining space hulk, not sure if it was intentional but good job!
Those dings are huge and totally unacceptable. I have bought two amazing boards from Crokinole Canada and they came pristine and are tournament quality.
wonderful video, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Definitely not acceptable packaging for a premium board. It should have been returned or a minimum 50% discount. Makes me wonder what they were thinking packaging it so cheaply and without protection for the vulnerable edges.
Hi, thx for the video! I used your technique and it works like a charm, however I'm concerned as it seems like it takes a long time to dry. Can you tell me how much time you waited roughly before applying varnish? Maybe the liquid shoe shine I used is a different formula? : /
I used Kiwi liquid shoe polish and it dried for me in about 15 minutes. Even if it's not completely dry, you can still use rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to clean the car up and the polish will still stay in the cracks. I never did end up applying any type of sealer on them.
I've built a similar board using the Hirst Arts molds. I love the idea of using traffic cones as save spots. For cards, I just made cards myself and put them in magic card sleeves w/ trash magic cards behind them. What did you use for the lasers? I used red yarn, but I like the clean look of your lasers a lot.
I use florescent red duct tape cut into thin strips. This sticks down really well and you peel it up and throw it away when the game is done.
So cool, I was on the edge of my seat for those Genestealers charging down the corridor and getting lit up at the last moment by Overwatch. Intense!
Great review! Maybe ordering from them, but by now (Jan 2024) I would hope they would have solved their packaging problems. Whether it's $150 or $450, it's a piece of wood, and enough packing material to assure *intact* delivery should only be a few dollars.
Did you order one by the way? Curious if the packaging was much better now.
@GamingWithSantanas yup. It was well packaged and with the new, padded bag, it arrived in perfect condition.
@@october001 Awesome. Will definitely bite the bullet now. Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial! After they are dried, how easily does the shoe polish come off? And will it leave residue on your fingers? Thank you for your time!
After it dries, the shoe polish holds up very well and does not come off unless you use alcohol or some kind of solvent. It actually holds up better than using acrylic paint on a plastic miniature. I don't show it in the video but alcohol cleans up the car very nicely afterwards and you don't have to worry about if you got the wash a bit too dark. I would wear some plastic gloves because it will stain your fingers.
Thank you for the video and the reply! I followed your instructions and really like the results I got in my vehicles! Such a great idea using the show polish. Much appreciated!
Génial !
I just enter "later" on SH.. but plz.. MOOOOOOORRREEE!!
wtfffffffffffff, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!
Amazing work!
this is so cool. thanks for showing. amazing space hulk collection
I just got an 8k printer.. my god what a brilliant idea.. im so down for this!! argg!
Great respect
How do the marines breathe in the vacuum of space?
The marines are wearing terminator suits which are basically an armored tank type of space suit.
@@hirstsgames2974 I meant when they don't have helmets or breathing apparatus.
@@HotelCharliHill like they have but they dont need, if i remember this right theyre backpack have two propuses; one: make theyre armor lighter. Two: maybe make them breathe. That were from what i think now being lore accurate: they have three lungs and as they are super medicaly modify they can breathe in space. I think theres a video about theyre anatomy and how they work. I hope i helped :)
Question for a seasoned RoboRally player: Any reason why you wouldn't just use the Radio Tower token as a Start player token and pass it clockwise at the end of each round (and resolve card interactions based on turn order instead of numbers)? Also, if you had a set of custom poker card decks for each player, would you keep the old damage system (locking cards with a missed turn to reset) or incorporate the new damage system (that adds SPAM cards)?
As for your first question, yes you could do this and none of the cards need to have any priority numbers at all. The downside is that players will always know who is going to move first which could make the game a bit too predictable. If you know the guy to your right is always moving his bot first, you could just tail him knowing that if he gets in your way you will just push him. If there was a possibility of you moving first, you might accidentally move in front of him which could mess up your whole turn. Trying to guess who will move first is part of the fun. I still prefer the old damage system that locks the cards if you take too much damage..
The old damage system is much more fun. I had both versions, sold the new one.
@@holybananagames733 An even newer version just came out. I just got it today, so I don't know the differences.
@@bradandrews777 The newest version is better than the last one. BUT it is still not that good like the version in the video.
@@holybananagames733I will have to try it and see. I haven't played it much lately, but I do own all 3 versions. I do wish I could get all the molds for this version a bit cheaper.
This is fantastic! I fell in love with Space Hulk 1st Edition when it was released, and was able to get the “4th” edition in 2014. Your box is a testimony of your love and appreciation of this awesome game! Hobby on, Brother!
2022 and still using molds? ever heard of 3D printing? 😂
3D printing is great when you need a few specialized pieces. But for the mass production of hundreds of floor tiles and wall blocks, molds are still the fastest and most economic way to do that.
You 3d print models to then make molds. 3d printing is not good for mass production
Sorry - I could only click Like once - great work
Okay, officially green with envy just looking at this board :-) I've been using old cardboard sets from way back in the 1990's for my games, as they are easier to store, but would love to make something like this for my generic sci-fi games, not just Space Hulk :-)
Shit, this looks cool. I have to try this myself with some of my fellow medical students!
Can't say enough how much I love this. I too am a die hard 2nd edition "basics" fan with regards to marine options. Well done!!!
Very cool =)
Gonna start drawing up plans for my "Chest". Thank you for the ideas.
Wow - this is beyond amazing - congrats - just got my first copy today of 2004 reprint - stoked!
What a cool looking board. Looks like a really fun game of Space Hulk =)
That looks awesome. Wonder what would happen if you randomized the board setup, perhaps with dice rolls or just have the players go back and forth adding terrain pieces. If you use the idea, I would love to see a video of the game start to finish. Love the terrain and love the guys' boisteriousness! The lone marine squeaking off the board after two melee attacks dodged was epic!
I have found that with the Space Hulk game, it's fairly tricky to make a good balanced board layout. If the objective takes too many turns to reach or if there are too many corners with no way to do double overwatch, the game is nearly impossible for the marines. I always set up a test board and play through it several times by myself, making changes after every play until I can get a good balanced board. I really see no way to have randomized board sections work for a good close game. Thanks for the idea anyway.
Not sure if youre aware, but Deathwing for Space Hulk 1st edition had a mission generator that I think included randomised board layouts.
This is an awesome board setup! I haven’t seen that many Space Hulk games set up at once in many, many years! Beautifully painted minis, too!
the link to download the rules is not showing anymore. can you please re post it?
I've added it again. Not sure what happened there. Here's a link to it as well: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/217996/karak-alternate-rules-quick-play-and-over-five-pla
Fun variant!
Awesome ! you really should stream this Bruce
I don't want to be over-critical here but IMO those are NOT little dings in the edge of the outer ring. If I pay $400.00 or more for something I expect it to arrive in perfect condition. Not with a bunch of divots missing out of the edge of the thing.
This is awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and present this. I bought a Browncastle board too. I admire their hard work and being a family business and all, but the board arriving damaged would have bugged me to no end. Mine arrived in good shape, but I wish I would have ordered one with the Canadian maple veneer. I may give this one to my son and order that model. We will see. Wish I had watched this video first! Thanks again!
Bravo!
