To me, these kinds of creative works is what the hobby is about. Instead of buying expensive plastic terrain from GW you just cobble together whatever you can find, and lo and behold it actually looks really good. Good video, I'll definitely return to this one if I ever start doing some terrain builds or something of that nature.
It's why I've been swept up by the hobby. I've always been a creative type, and this hobby is really letting me spread my wings. I hope to tackle some much bigger projects soon. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Paint solution, particularly on wood: Rust-Oleum matte primer (after 10 years of crafting and testing all manner of primers, this is the one) and cheap Walmart Acrylics (Apple Barrel). $0.58 cents a bottle and go on terrain like a dream. Miniature paints are engineered for plastic minis and lack fillers that make the cheaper paints better for things like wood or paper. And for paper products, Mod Podge will seal it, protect it, and use far less paint. Pro Tip: Unless you want wood to look like metal beams or something, do not Mod Podge the wood or you will lose the wood grain.
If you use enamel spay primer on your wood sections it will seal your acrylic paints from smoking into the wood. Modpodge with paint or lacquer spray would work equally as well. Looks good pal keep it comin

Very cool, and the fact they have variations adds to the effect instead of lots of identical 3d prints :)
The nuln oil splatter looked really good. Really looks like old oil grime.

Pretty sweet man thanks for the tutorial!
Nice, catwalks are such a pain to scratch build but there seems to be no good product that suffices
