Eric, I really like your videos and have learned a lot from you. You're the one who gave me the idea to use styrene rods for pipes. I found that a hair blow dryer works wonders for bending the pipe. Just thought I'd pass that by to you. -Rick, USMC
Excellent work! You put to good use the stuff we'd normally throw out and it doesn't cost anything. This terrain is great for games of 40k, Star Wars Legion, Cyberpunk, or Stargrave.
Another nice build - The Airfix/Dapol bridge is a useful bit of kit, also take a look at Ratio LNER signal sets (lattice post masts, 1:72 scale but just use the ladders for windows), good for comms towers as well as industrial stuff. May have mentioned it already but check out PET strapping, or PP strapping, the embossed plastic strap used for pallets and large cardboard boxes, available in reels up to 32mm wide, handy for walkways.
Wow! I wasn't expecting that awesome setup at the end. The tutorial started off great, lots of helpful ideas and your process. A fun watch. Then the modulatory comes in and takes it to the next level! Love it. Looking forward to more.
The gizmo in the guage is known as the "needle" They can be found in many types crossing different uses. Example: Analog circuitry uses a version commonly found on analog voltage meters. Now a days it's all digital. Another use would be pressure gauges. Used to measure psi heavily in steam powered tech.
Just discovered your channel, and am so glad I did. Some great ideas for kitbashing everyday stuff together, and it works so well. You're getting great results :) Awesome timing for the new Necromunda box set coming out, too. Can't wait to see what you post next.
Glynn Smith I suspect my wife is giving me the dark uprising box for Christmas, so i hope to have some stuff that goes well with that coming in the early new year
Your page just popped up in my Recommended list on RUclips. They finally recommended something worthwhile! Great video, very nice simple explanations. Took some screen captures to keep your great ideas fresh in my mind next trip into my bits box.
I've spent a small fortune on Sector Mechanicus for Necromunda (No regrets) but if I was playing a different Sci fi setting your tutorials are absolutely amazing, although I will be adding some extra small pipework and details to bulk it out abit.
Iain Milner Everyone likes things their own way, I like the GW sector mechanicus stuff a lot too but i always want a diverse and unique table of terrain
Just to clarify, I meant using the small pipes to bulk out the sector mechanicus terrain especially underneath gantries. Your work looks awesome, I have not trained my eye into looking at different bits and pieces as potential terrain yet and would need to fill a box full of junk first.
Iain Milner ah yes. Watch out, hoarding terrain bits can really take up space. I need to make some projects out of this stuff before my wife goes nuts lol
Great video and deserves more views. The car parts was an interesting idea I hadn't seen before and I will steal! I have never been able to bend the styrene pipes like you did but I will go back and give it another try.
Very impressive! It has a complicated refinery look to it and when they are all put together it looks massive. Thanks for sharing this neat design tutorial.
Scratch building rules!!! And it's amazing to see how perfectly it matches the GW stuff! I'm glad I've found your channel, that's exactly what i'm into! ..You do amazing work mate! Cheers!
Really great work, Eric. I'm watching at least one of the videos each day and have already sent links to my gaming buddies too. What I especially like is how you show that purposeful selection of parts and a little effort (like the dials, and the hatchway with the take-out sauce lid) look fantastic. Buying pre-made terrain has become so expensive and channels like this remind gamers that we can sidestep that cost easily.
I love these kinds of terrain from trash vids! Thank you for the vid! I subscribed👍 if you play Gaslands I would love to see some uploads of that, but anything is AWESOME as well
Great work! You may want to pick up some Krylon or Rust-Oleum dark brown camo spray paint. It's a great primer for this sort of project and it would save you a step when painting!
Amazing work! Just watched a bunch of your videos after seeing something on instagram, really happy i stumbled upon them!......anyway, what size are those small styrene rods you heated up and shaped? Im seeing 2mm 4mm and 6mm. Going to try to get a bunch of bits together to try to recreate some of your builds. Thanks!
Aaron Schreiber I don’t know, i thre the package out a while back. I would guess 4mm? No reason why one gauge would work any better than another, just do what looks good to you! Maybe try several!
I feel like the wires could have used some color. They sort of blend in with the rest of the terrain because they are so thing. I think that like red cables, or something, would have worked wot make them stand out a bit and help break up the structure.
Just curious about the multicolored pipes I think you said they were available on Amazon. Do you happen to know the brand name for those I've not had much luck in finding them.
i know it's probs necessary to say fire is hot...but goddamn ppl are dumb (why its necessary! lol) Sharp blade: Don't cut your fingers. Scissors: Beware it cuts things! Fire: It can melt or catch on fire!
Interesting idea with the toy car bottoms, especially if one were already disassembling them for another game like Gaslands. Let nothing go to waste!
Shane Flickinger Exactly!
Yes!
Using small rings to make gauges was brilliant. Well done!!!
You have a very good imagination. That's another very clever and very successful build. Thanks for sharing this with us.

So you’re telling me I randomly found this channel a few hours ago, and now you’ve uploaded another video!?
____________ I guess so! And I will keep uploading them!!
I’m finding your videos so hypnotic and all consuming, I can’t stop watching…it’s all too amazing…
Great piece man ! Cheap, fast & cool.
Dark Matter Workshop Thanks! I really enjoy your builds too
Eric's Hobby Workshop Thank’s ! Our terrain combined would make a pretty epic battlefield.

Oh man! These are some nice tutorials! Quick and simple with cool end results. Keep'em coming!
arghroar will do! Keep tuning it!!

Another great vid! Good lesson to learn... never throw away good bits!
Michael Marines Building things like this is an important counterpoint to a propensity towards hoarding :)

This looks fantastic. Reminds me of the terrain we used to see in white dwarf during the rogue trader days. Subscribed.
Justin Burnside Thanks Justin! Thats a bit before my time, but I grew up on scratch built terrain and still think its the best
Cunning and pretty good looking! Great job. 👍🏻
Paulo Freire do you mean me? Or the terrain? Hahaha thanks
I just built my first terrain piece after watching your videos, dunno if you still read these but Thankyou for your videos :)
This is an amazing build! You are really talented.
The GameCraft Dragon very kind of you to say! Thanks
Great video and deserves more views. The car parts was an interesting idea I hadn't seen before and I will steal! I have never been able to bend the styrene pipes like you did but I will go back and give it another try.
Thanks! Its a little tricky and be careful of the fumes!
This scenery really fits in with the sector mechanicus feel. Great job! 👍
Harry Man back thanks, that was exactly my goal
Loved the vid. The pressure gages were really cool
some people have the gift... id love to see your stock pile of terrain! Awsome videos, and very inspiring to raid my kids various toys! muahaha
I will probably do a battle report in the coming weeks !
I don’t play any of the tabletop games but your work is a joy to watch I love how versatile it all is Fantastic!!!!
Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing with us!
That's some creative greebling! Nice, I love it.
Elo Sredna thanks! Greebling is lots of fun
NICE
Marc Louis-Auguste Thanks Marc! I see you there
Really good stuff. Thanks Eric.
Yuan Mekong thanks, you are very welcome
yet another fantastic terrain piece! thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Very impressive! It has a complicated refinery look to it and when they are all put together it looks massive. Thanks for sharing this neat design tutorial.
incredible modeling, man! Fantastic video!
Danny Pockets thank you! More coming!!
It’s definitely called a doohickey. If it wasn’t before, it is now! Thank you for sharing yet another fantastic video.
I didn't know Tom Hardy does wargaming.
Theodore Yansukevich eyyy of all the lookalike comments i get I can live with that one hahaha
yea thats what i thought lol
That was my first impression first time I saw Eric 🤣🤣🤣
Great work Pro, Greetz from Germany
Christian Ammersbach danke schön! Thanks for checking it out
i think the doo-hikey is called an arm of the dial, just like an arm in a clock
bilbo göransson That makes sense, thank you
Is it called a needle?
I really like how that came out!
Mist Imp's Musings thanks! Me too!
Scratch building rules!!! And it's amazing to see how perfectly it matches the GW stuff! I'm glad I've found your channel, that's exactly what i'm into! ..You do amazing work mate! Cheers!
Scratch building will never die!!
Looks great, man!
earh0x minis thank you!
I'm loving the ingenious builds. MacGyver would be proud. Look forward to more.
Thank you! More is coming!
AWSOME !!!
Thank you, Cory
you're a damn genius, man!
thanks! Nice of you to say
Man I really need to stop overthinking and just glue random bits together. This is amazing!

Heck yeah man. Its also awesome to have unique terrain that nobody else has!
Just came across your channel, Great content man!
Al Crabby i am indeed quite content, how did you know? Hahah thank you for your comment
Awesome build. Love how it all comes together.
Great work, and cheap to make as well :)
Dutchtenfor That’s the best way!
Awesome work 👍

J i have never played gaslands, but it looks cool!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop i haven't played it much either, but building the cars is super fun
Bloody brilliant! 👍🏻😊🇦🇺
BLIGHTY thanks!! It’s actually atill functional as a pencil sharpener lol
Really enjoy this channel !
Great work! You may want to pick up some Krylon or Rust-Oleum dark brown camo spray paint. It's a great primer for this sort of project and it would save you a step when painting!
This idea is great just for making a displayer for my steampunk figures!
"looks alright" no no no, looks amazing!
SaRiN vX thanks! I like your at-at pilot avatar
Off the hook cool...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Those space marines are in for a bad day when Brakar goes mental at them with his heavy stubber.
I like it well done !!!!
These are amazing♥️
LET'S DO IT
Nick Schuh Yeah!!!
B-6 BINGO!!!
Amazing as always...I really love your channel!
Your channel is awesome.
awesome

Great video! Really impressed. I've added you to my "Hobby Heroes under 5,000 subs" featured list on my channel page :)
awesome！
What is that song? somehow i really like it! great build too!
Eating peanuts while watching this 👍
Lookup pictures of oil refinery process units for ideas
Just curious about the multicolored pipes I think you said they were available on Amazon. Do you happen to know the brand name for those I've not had much luck in finding them.
VWH Water pipe building blocks £3.99 for 50 pcs are the cheapest I found.
I just searched “toy pipes”. A lot of people have been asking so i will see about posting a link
What do your kids tell you when you steal bits from their toy box? 😄😄😄
Can you link the plastic pipes you found?
Eric Tripps theres a link in the description of my latest video (tanks)
hehe so cool to see a pile of loose trash get turned into a sci-fi city
Kirk Geier Indeed! Bringing on the grimdark future, one trashbag at a time!
Where do I get the small pieces that you bend over flame and use for smaller pipes? Do you have those in your Amazon link list?
Here it is Grant. I'll add it to the description
amzn.to/2O8uXlF
What music do you use in this video?
What are the little pipes you found on Amazon called?
Jesse Hammil i just searched “toy pipes”. Theres tons of different brands that are exactly the same
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop thanks! Build is awesome.
7:05 Ah, yes. The Manufactorum World of China.
I don’t get it, what’s dystopian about an industrial stack?
i know it's probs necessary to say fire is hot...but goddamn ppl are dumb (why its necessary! lol)
Sharp blade: Don't cut your fingers.
Scissors: Beware it cuts things!
Fire: It can melt or catch on fire!
