Brilliant. “Sheered a sheep” mate I did it with that regular foam packing and I had “ static BALLS” everywhere for DAYS ! The Mrs was not happy mate! This looks great. Fantastic video, the music, production, editing and narration is ON POINT as always! Thanks for taking the time to produce.
Love your channel . It’s what 1990s games workshops used to be. I spent hours making terrain.. gluing sealing painting . Experiment on surfaces and texture… ah The great times
I have a tip if you would like to try, I use a vacuum and scrape it across the foam. this does two things one it rips out the foam with the scraping and it cleans at the same time. you can put as much pressure in as you like. I have attached gouging tools to the vacuum hose nozzle with tape too. it also helps stopping smaller particles flying off to be breathed in
I liked the educational aspect on foam ! Totally agree, this is a great way to reuse the stuff so it doesn't end up in landfill. I love that celotex stuff, use it all the time now. So easy to get a great looking rock texture!
Love the vid mate! For your smaller rocks that looks like "stacks of foam" just shave some layers a bit here and there, they'll look like shale rock. Pretty common and once you put a bit of filler here and there, it'll look completely natural.
I use acrylic sealant as a coating on foam and paper mashe pieces. I make a lot of hills using cheap kitchen aluminium cooking trays and metal chippy containers bent to shape and covered in 5 layers of paper and glue - I save Xmas wrapping paper and apply that in alternating layers with newspaper so I can see which bits I have done - It warps a lot but I leave a skirt around the edge so I can glue it down to a flat card base (if you cover the bent tray with a layer of wet kitchen towel the paper doesn't stick to it so you can bang out a set of hills with just one tray). I leave it a day or two to dry out then apply the acrylic. I mainly use a wet finger for smoothing it out but you can dilute the acrylic and smooth it on with a brush, just wash the brush in hot water and detergent before it dries. I use dried tea leaves (tea bag stuff for grass 'texture' and loose tea, which is larger, for 'foliage' with fine sand elsewhere and both stick very well if applied to the still wet acrylic sealant and tamped down. For paint I use domestic paint tester pots, I use a lot of Wilco's Chocolate Dream for desert so the people I give a set to can find the same paint to add more. Thicker corrugated card (not really the flimsy stuff supermarkets use these days) is okay for walls, cover the edges with newspaper to hide the corrugations, the newspaper seems the most 'flexible' of the available papers. For stone walls I have a roll of blown vinyl anaglipta-like wall paper with a suitable pattern that looks the part in 1:72 and 1:32 with a coat of paint and a drybrush. My sets are given away to less well off folks, mostly carers as they get crap pay, and they get a set of notes on 'what's in the box' and 'how to make more'. As an example for a knights and knaves set I make just one long hedge (strip cut from coir doormat with teased out pan scrub added to the top to produce an uneven profile, add some flock and some trees from twine soaked in glue with flocked teased pan scrub as foliage and paint in various shades of green using cheap paint). Back then a village would typically have just a couple of very large fields fenced or hedged off in which everyone got a strip or two to farm. Hedges back then were similar to the bocage, an earth bank covered in assorted bushes and trees, hedges on the flat are really a post-railway thing, but for toy soldiers the advantage of the flexible strips outweighs the need for absolute historical accuracy. The hedges work well for 20mm scale (the cheapest toy soldiers you can get) but they are too small for 1:32 (which I use for kids from 3-7 years old).
Always love kicking back with a sugary beverage and watching another video by my favourite content creator, hector. Dave is there too, I guess? Great video man, loved it
I work in IT and we get a lot of foam packing from the hardware we order. I grab any that have unique shapes that will lend well to a sci-fi or near future build (I play mostly those types of games). But even some basic shapes are nice and usable to cut into walls, pillars, are just sliced up as ruins or hills. Even snag snack packaging. One man's trash is another man's treasure ; )
I love the video, and you having WCW Hulk Hogan on your TV is amazing. That was the build up to his monster truck sumo match on top of Cobo Hall. Hogan pushes The Giant off the top of the arena, presumably killing him. However, and hour later The Giant comes to the ring, not even limping, for his main event match against Hogan.
I'm a big fan of the recycling route. Personally I tend to asked more for tutorials on using cereal packet card than anything else. I must admit showing people how to build virtually an 40k vehicle out of the stuff is quite rewarding. The first resin Eldar prism cannon sold at games day was made and cast in 12 hours. It was made from a wooden flower display and an Asthma inhaler. ( I made it) We did 40k scale Titans with expanded foam and plant pots. The Ork versions were 80% cereal packet ,a plant pot, (The smaller ones had Mr Potatoes Head's feet) . So I'm expecting you to think out side of the box as you charge into your Ork project. If its of interest I could pass on some useful quick and easy builds that would be easy builds for people with physical restrictions.As they'd require nothing more complicated than the basics of a ruler, pencil, knife, ruler,scissors, emeryboards,and superglue. Plus a the odd cereal box.
I picked up some celotex and a 3 foot square piece of ply from a house renovation as well as off cuts of foamex (expanded PVC). I'm still using it 4 years later. Celotex is amazing, if messy, stuff for terrain, paint it with diluted filler from Poundland to strengthen it. Good to see others using this stuff. The whole board cost me £50 with flock, plaster cliffs, resin river and a sandpaper road for the city area.
These are amazing. I'm looking into creating a table for historical wargaming between Afghanistan and the Sikh empire in the 1820s and 1830s, and your video has made the scenery I had in mind possible. Thanks so much Dave. You're a legend Dave.
Think you've got an awesome niche theme to some of these videos, environmentally friendly, recycled materials terrain. Love it mate, been hoarding foam and pizza boxes in my cupboard after watching your vids.
I think you did an outstanding job! Well-made gaming terrain made by hand is much more enjoyable than the insanely expensive stuff from GW and not everything has to look like a Gothic cathedral!
That is freaking awesome! My friend and I wanted to make a Martian terrain table for the miniature game Warzone several years ago, and this is pretty close to what we had in mind. Keep up the awesome content!
Hey Dave! Was cool meeting you today, how random that i was watching one of your videos last night before starting a new job :) big fan of your content! Tom
I love this idea! Sustainable hobby!! I have had a moral issue myself getting into 3d printing knowing how dangerous those polymers are for the environment.
I raided a skip outside a construction site 3 times, obviously under the dark of night. Got a shed full of thick wall insulation foam and it's perfect for mountains and rocks. They all turned out amazing.
Finally finished up moving into my new place, really gotta get the ball rolling on unpacking my minis, finishing up some of my terrain, and getting some games in with my mate two blocks over. Lovely stuff 👍🏻 gives me that nostalgic 3rd ed space orks vibe
great mess! I mean vid!! Carving foam is my main frustration, this video shows me that there's hope for my next terrain pieces!! Keep the good job Hector!
Got loads of weird polystyrene shapes which I try bin every week but there's never room. I used to heat a butter knife on the cooker & try carve those white dwarf mountains.
Great vid Hector, you’re smashing it. You did ok too Dave ❤️ Really nice looking terrain! For all of the mess of the foam that was everywhere you did well to not get it all over yourself! Or is there a 30min dyson scene in the directors cut? I’d love to make some stuff like this but don’t have the space to store it 😞
I make stuff like this and I don't have the room to store it 🙃 just make a couple of small pieces to start with that are easily stored away in a box or drawer and before you know it, you have bought shelves and other such surfaces to display your terrain pieces... maybe you shouldn't? 🤔😆
Another great video dude. This popped up in my notifications just in time to convince me to buy those Wild West Exodus minis and buildings I’ve been thinking about. It was like a sign from the hobby gods. Love your work mate and am super excited to see some GorkaMorka battle report. Health and safety frog 🐸 you’re awesome too mate.
I'm not sure about the underlayer foam, but I've built some hills using foamboard and foamcore that worked rather well for things. Foamcore is something I'd found actually works better for an end result. Mainly in the early period of the lockdowns, but it would probably work with what you have left of that foam for some terrain pieces. I rough cut to the basic shape and glued it together before hacking away at it, and I didn't peel the foamcore off of everything...which actually improved the look in the end with bits and pieces of layers in the end that would be visible. Took a larger, rough rock and worked some texture into it. Then I thinned down some non-shrink, lightweight spackle (for those with access to them, it's the cheap little tubs that Dollar Tree has in their home repair and tools area) to the point where it was like a milkshake in consistency for the most part with a few bits of chunkier pieces that didn't get fully mixed, but added to the end result, and brushed it over the foam, and a few pieces of actual stone from a small sack of chips from a home decor thing, attached with some thicker bits of the spackle to make the surface look better in places. Then I just used superglue after that dried to cover a lot of the surfaces in a rougher texture with a few more of the rocks that were less blended in. I've got a few pics of one piece on imgur... i.imgur.com/MPrnRN6.jpg i.imgur.com/PHXV3Sx.jpg i.imgur.com/4WnNfHJ.jpg
The underlay actually works pretty well, if you look at real desert terrain. Sandstone, common in the US Southwest, is a layered rock. The only thing I'd recommend is irregularity of layers. Slice and stack different pieces to make it look a bit more irregular.
Hiyaa, was that a cheeky Uncle Roger reference to the weejio? Loved the old school GDubs vibes this terrain has. I'd love to see a GorkaMorka comeback, but hopefully Necromunda's upcoming Ash Wastes expansion will scratch that itch for us old timers
Sooo I just now noticed your paint racks are in the shape of an F. I love it! Also, very very good video as always. Love your builds and been rewatching your entire catalogue 😅
Use thicker eps foam. Carve its basic shape inside a box. For the rock surface cover it with thin layer of caulking or plaster of Paris applied with your fingers. It’s less messy. Also it’s more realistic looking and faster than paper mache. Paint with 50/50 pva/acrylic black (bit of water for a wash), then more PVA/acrylic brown, the glue sinks into the plaster to harden it. Drybrush mid-grey, lighter drybrush magnolia (never white unless you want snow effect). Can use blue-grey for colour if gray is too bland for your taste.
Hi again bud. I used a Surui Anamorphic. I use vintage lenses for my normal glowing flares but sometimes the anamorphic with a torch pointing down it just makes my day. Hence the aspect ratio change.
Great video 😂 I tried using that Kingspan foam but found that when you press on it, it compresses and loses shape - I wondered about sealing it with plaster or something but that would also crack under pressure
Amazing results, those will look great in any game. I can't imagine cleaning up those foamy 'dandruff' bits. I've worked with foam for stuff (not on this scale) and it seemed to take forever even then. Me: 90 minutes for paint and wash? Who has time for that .. Also me: watches 3 hours of youtube while doing nothing productive.
@@MSPaints I know what you mean. I used some to make a projector box for my graveyard Halloween display, (basically clad a plastic tote with it) and tho it left some nice gouged stone looking bits I still had to go in with the hot knife. You nailed the rock texture tho and that’s not easy to do.
Circa the 6 min mark: To increase the eco-friendly rating, but more importantly to save more money & appease the gods of frugality & scavenging (blood & scrap for my lord Arioch), all the little crumbly bits of foam can be retained & used as basing material/rubble. The main catch is of course adding something to your workspace where you can quickly gather it & so it doesn't go onto the floor (where it mixes with actual filth). Which I would probably suggest one of those plastic bins meant to hold linens & roll under your bed... shallow enough to work in, big enough to hold most terrain projects. Flip side - you will quickly gain so much you will have a near lifetime supply of basing material... which you can't really use solo because the shape of the foam scraps looks just a little off compared to IRL rocks.

Nice work, Dave. These turned out great and look nothing like the ones that i did and Health & Safety Frog didn't tell me to say this.
I love Health and Safety frog's choices of ultra 90's wrestling entertainment.
There's no better foam than found foam.
Nice paint job - the red over black looks sweet.
I'm very glad I had put my drink down when the makeup brush arrived for its scene.
Love it pal, the pit falls of crumbling foam... as they say thats how the injected foam insert crumbles!killing it mate.
Gorkamorka! Couldn't be happier someone giving this old game some love, it's still my favourite and this terrain will work perfectly for it.
Awesome a new MS Paints video building terrain from recycled rubbish. The paint work absolutely popped Dave.
More lens flares than a Michael Bay flick. Sweeeeeet.
Epic video. Recycled materials, no spray cans, no hot wire cutter. I got to find a skip. Cheers
Go forth and liberate the trash!

Health & Safety Frog has become my new favourite puppet/animated soft toy/tiny sentient being, even more so than Delsin Rodent!
He’s great ain’t he?!
Did I just hear mention of Battle Reports?!? Super hyped for that. Great terrain piece.
hector watching Hulk Hogan. looking for safety violations? Love it. another great tutorial, Thanks Dave!

one of the best videos I've watched in a while. Deffo using some of your techniques
Cheers Funk!
Great looking terrain you made there.
Just need an Ork Fort and a Mine working and your GorkaMunda ready! 😁
Killer job Dave. 👍😎
I love the color scheme for these!
Great video. Excellent production values, easy casual humour and narrative and tight presentation.
Great work Dave, the build looks awesome. As you say 40 million tons is a frightening amount.
Terrain for all seasons, periods, genres and scales. Great work, love the channel. Regards Lexi

Hey Dave! Was cool meeting you today, how random that i was watching one of your videos last night before starting a new job :) big fan of your content! Tom
Haha! We were a week early to the job. Massively weird! Good meeting you too. I’m there again today to do the actual job.
GORKAAAMMOORRRKA!!! Can't wait to see more on potentially the best game ever released!
Need that music at the end. Absolutely need it.
Not sure I ever released it. It’s called ‘a plan comes together’ by Kyoto Dragon. Might be on the Neon Knights album but I’ve forgotten haha
I’ve spray painted many a celotex diorama - never had an issue with it melting - this looks awesome by the way
So ive heard! Haha. The protection I put on should stop it chipping or getting damaged though. Win win!
That's a serious mess you have there! lol. I always love the DIY scenery people make, it's what makes gaming tables interesting.
I love this idea! Sustainable hobby!! I have had a moral issue myself getting into 3d printing knowing how dangerous those polymers are for the environment.
All about that long term booking, Brother. OH YEAH!
I raided a skip outside a construction site 3 times, obviously under the dark of night. Got a shed full of thick wall insulation foam and it's perfect for mountains and rocks. They all turned out amazing.
So jealous.
Yay more ms paints, it it may only be a monthly fix but....... hoooooooiyahhhhh it feels good. Much love!
Ooooh baby you’ve had two this month. Can we make it 3??
I’ve just discovered acrylic water-based aerosols, absolute life savers for spray coating foam/poly! No melting or toxic fumes 😬 great video, mate!
If I could get them from Poundland I’d be all over it! Thanks for the tip though I’ll look into it
Finally finished up moving into my new place, really gotta get the ball rolling on unpacking my minis, finishing up some of my terrain, and getting some games in with my mate two blocks over. Lovely stuff 👍🏻 gives me that nostalgic 3rd ed space orks vibe
Dear Dave, Bloody Good Mate! Best Wishes Johnny
Thank you Mr Coop!
Double glue! The man is a genius.
oooh Gorkamorka! making Gorkamorka with the updated Ork models would be sick!
great mess! I mean vid!! Carving foam is my main frustration, this video shows me that there's hope for my next terrain pieces!! Keep the good job Hector!
Great vid dude, terrain looks fab.
Cheeeeeers Nat!
Got loads of weird polystyrene shapes which I try bin every week but there's never room. I used to heat a butter knife on the cooker & try carve those white dwarf mountains.
Great work Dave - that PIR foam stuff is awesome for building and carving!
Great work Dave! I never get tired of watching your content mate!

I dig your laid back vibe man! WOW I haven't said that line since the 70's lol . Love the art as well .Stay Groovy . ✌~N~💖
Great terrain! Turned out exactly like the pictures in the White dwarf. Looking forward to those sweet Gorka Morka videos.
Great vid Hector, you’re smashing it. You did ok too Dave ❤️

Gorkamorka was the first boxed game I bought from GW. Still have it too!
Thank you for your content you are an honest inspiration to me. Always recycle your plastic.
What is safety frog watching😆😎, good vid and great results as usual mate.
Great work. Some of those forms could have happily doubled as snow/ice formations with a different paint job.
Excellent job as ever! In the future it would be awesome to see a showcase of the Western /Tombstone mini's - keep being awesome, love & peace x
I’ll hopefully get around to it!
Great terrain Dave, looking forward to some Gorkamorka!

Use thicker eps foam. Carve its basic shape inside a box. For the rock surface cover it with thin layer of caulking or plaster of Paris applied with your fingers. It’s less messy. Also it’s more realistic looking and faster than paper mache. Paint with 50/50 pva/acrylic black (bit of water for a wash), then more PVA/acrylic brown, the glue sinks into the plaster to harden it. Drybrush mid-grey, lighter drybrush magnolia (never white unless you want snow effect). Can use blue-grey for colour if gray is too bland for your taste.
Another amazing vid, Dave. Quick question if you don't mind - how do you get that lens flare in your opening b-roll? Looks awesome
Hi again bud. I used a Surui Anamorphic. I use vintage lenses for my normal glowing flares but sometimes the anamorphic with a torch pointing down it just makes my day. Hence the aspect ratio change.
Looks great, I also watch erics videos, keep up the awesome work
The Tallarn in me is homesick right now. Great job Dave, very reminiscent of the old White Dwarf mags :)
Great video 😂 I tried using that Kingspan foam but found that when you press on it, it compresses and loses shape - I wondered about sealing it with plaster or something but that would also crack under pressure
An environmentally friendly production AND the promise of future Gorkamorka content!?!
- Do you need any players? :)
I wonder if there's a way to combine the smaller scrap bits with modge podge or PVA to create quick texture bases/floors?
More than likely good for land forms!
Just found your channel through recommendations. Great video and aditude :D

Nicely done, did you find that peeling the silver paper off left some interesting stone textures?
Yeah it did. Not especially consistent though sadly
@@MSPaints I know what you mean. I used some to make a projector box for my graveyard Halloween display, (basically clad a plastic tote with it) and tho it left some nice gouged stone looking bits I still had to go in with the hot knife.
You nailed the rock texture tho and that’s not easy to do.
That Tombstone game like the western one?? If so I need to get in on that too, grew up on that movie thanks to the oldies
Yeah, by black Scorpion miniatures!
@@MSPaints oh sweet! I'll have to check that out
Circa the 6 min mark: To increase the eco-friendly rating, but more importantly to save more money & appease the gods of frugality & scavenging (blood & scrap for my lord Arioch), all the little crumbly bits of foam can be retained & used as basing material/rubble. The main catch is of course adding something to your workspace where you can quickly gather it & so it doesn't go onto the floor (where it mixes with actual filth). Which I would probably suggest one of those plastic bins meant to hold linens & roll under your bed... shallow enough to work in, big enough to hold most terrain projects.
Flip side - you will quickly gain so much you will have a near lifetime supply of basing material... which you can't really use solo because the shape of the foam scraps looks just a little off compared to IRL rocks.
Eric!! 👍👍👍
Great vid - looking forward to seeing some Gorkamorka!

6:00 this noise when you are zooming in and out. Is it a manual lense, or just very noisy motor?
Manual zoom yeah, and in body microphone. Guaranteed to make a noise
Polymer glue tip : when sculpting put it in center . Hotwire cant cut it when its near edge
