Thanks!

Thanks!

Hehe. No. But this isn't the first time I've been told I sound like a robot.

@@DasNerdspiel Ahh my bad then. I think its the speed and candance, makes it hard to follow and sounds a bit artificial ;w;

No worries. The unnatural cadence and weird accent isn't AI, it's just the autism. 😉

Aww, Thanks!

Hooray!

Nice! That was actually my first thought, but I was still worried that the face-down hinge could scratch the table below if you put weight on it. How did yours work out?

Yes, you should.

Thanks! I was also pretty excited about the Ash Wastes finally getting an actual release. They need to release a few more vehicles, though. I needs more conversion bits!

Yeah, that attachment really doesn't seem practical, even for this relatively small project. The manual staple gun wasn't too bad, but it was hard to put my weight into it with the staples parallel to the straps. I had to lean way off to the side to get them lined up, which was really awkward. To actually have it in front of me, I would have had to be on top of the table kneeling down or something.

Thanks!

It's just a big cloth or tarp that you put down on the ground when you're painting to keep the floor clean. I think they might be called "dustsheets" in some parts of the UK, but I'm not sure about Scotland. They're typically much thinner than a proper tarp (tarpaulin?), as they're meant to be disposable. I only spent $15 USD for one twice as big as I needed, so I would look for something around the £10 range.

@@DasNerdspiel Aha! Yeah, dust sheets is indeed the term we use here. Thx!

@@thedourkin No problem. Hope it works out for you! And now I know what they're called over there, too.

That's a good question. It doesn't seem to scoot too much on my table. It is pretty heavy, so that probably helps. I also usually still have that sewing mat underneath it, so maybe that helps? I'll have to pay more attention.

Thank you!

Thanks! It's probably my background in academia, but I always try to give people credit for their work. Of course, that'll be pretty difficult if I ever end up citing something that they've published in the last ten years. :P

@@DasNerdspiel true v.v

Hehe. Glad you liked it!

It's a joke. Because I never finish hobby projects on time, the joke is that instead of saying I need to work hard to get something done in the next month, I make the rather silly goal of 13 months, ignoring this year's Orktober completely.

@@DasNerdspiel ah 7k points of unpainted primaris* marines salute you

Oh, only a couple of pounds, but that's plenty heavy to keep it mostly flat. It doesn't really have a lot of spring in it that wants to stay rolled up. If you've ever unrolled a big doormat like the kind you see in schools or office buildings, it's kind of like that. The edges do kind of turn up a bit, but not too bad.

Hey, duct tape is a pretty cheap and easy alternative to the same sort of idea I had, so if it works, it works. As for the music, I hope to release it on its own at some point. Its still very much a work in progress (you can probably hear the difference between videos in some songs) and I'm pretty terrible when it comes to actual mixing and mastering, but I've gotten some good feedback from some actual audio engineers, so hopefully I'll get there eventually. Glad there's at least some interest, though!

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. In practice, I haven't had much issue with the mat sliding around because it's kind of heavy, but it would keep the edges flat. You would probably want to pick a top side for the board to stick the Velcro on, though.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ha ha ha. Good thing I wasn't using real wood, then.

Hmm...I might have to try the roller. I found it hard to get it both thin and evenly spread with anything but my hands, but that might be worth giving a try next time I make one.

Well, the mat really only took me like two days (mostly due to drying times), so that's the sort of thing you could make time for in a single weekend. The table took a while because I kept breaking my tools and changing my approach, but if I had to do it again and had everything ready to go, I could probably do it in a week. The lacquer took the longest because I did four coats on each side and could only do two or three coats per evening after work, but you might have an easier go if you used polyurethane. So I think that's a pretty attainable dream. Just don't promise your friends to build an entire Ork Fortress in three months. That can only end in disappointment. :P

sorry, i already was.a subscriber

Well, I'm glad you liked it enough that you would subscribe twice if you could. 😜

Yeah, I considered that after I decided to stain the edges. It's probably easier to do any kind of dying before you put the texture on. As far as adhesion, I'm actually pretty impressed with how well it's lasted thus far. I would have thought that after a year it would have at least started peeling off around the cracks or edges. It does lose a few grains of sand here and there when you play on it, though, so I'm sure there are probably some improvements that could be made to the recipe.

Hehe. I suppose you would approve. And I agree about the cracks. As long as the texture doesn't start peeling off around them, they look pretty cool.

Thanks!

An accurate assessment. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! It's nice to finally use all those bits that I've had lying around forever. I think some of those kegs are from the old Bretonnian kits...

Oh, thanks! Glad you liked them.

Hey, you're in luck...

Thanks! The metal plates come from a variety of materials. As I recall, there's some diamond and double diamond patterned styrene sheets from Plastruct (I think), as well as some chunks of a plastic basket, various bits of aquarium equipment, some needlepoint mesh, and a chunk of perforated PVC sheet. I'm probably forgetting something. You might be able to get a slightly better view of the pieces you're wondering about in the first video where I build the fort.

Indeed. It is mandatory. Glad you liked it. :D

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by!

Awesome! I'd love to see someone take this approach to make some abandoned buildings in the Underhive or some claustrophobic Space Hulk type corridors.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get back to working on interesting things soon. Unless you want me to make a video about repairing my leaky plumbing this week. :P

Thanks! Hopefully you won't have time to complete an entire college degree before I get the next one out. :P

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out as well. Hopefully if I can go for a few weeks without my basement flooding, my oven catching fire, or some other emergency, I can get on a more-than-once-a-year schedule. :P

@@DasNerdspiel Please, do it. This quality, and orks, is just awesome!

Thanks! I hope it ends up being useful to you.

Thank you!

Nice. In that case, I hope everyone appreciates your fully-furnished gaming table in your upcoming game in 2027!

Thanks! I was a big fan of GW's studio terrain in the 90s, so I guess I hit the vibe I was shooting for.

@@DasNerdspiel Well, you're clearly showing your love to this game, which totally belongs to this era, and you try to match the terrain with the aesthetic of the time, so everything makes sense. I very understand the process, as for each project, I tell myself that I should keep it simple, and in the end, as I'm a stupid perfectionnist, everything ends to be way too complex and time consuming. OK, the result is also way better looking, but my progress in general are slow ^^ In the end, you're right because playing with amazing terrain is motivating, way more than a lame looking one (there is no shame playing with lame looking terrain, it's just not as motivating)

Thanks! I do need to work on new vehicles and gubbinz at some point and I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze my existing vehicles into the video. And you can never have too many squigs, so that's definitely happening.
