The idea of plumbers and just general maintenance in the 40k setting is sending me. "Well, I could just fix up the hole but y'got yourself some 'nids there, mate."
Two questions … Q1) Does the grease on the cardboard ever interfere with adhesion? Q2) How do you prevent the bases from being wobbly once all the material have finished drying? Thanks!
Classic. I think alot of us started here, and its a nice reminder you can make great terrain without selling a kidney for MDF kits and resin. Good stuff man!
I'd love to buy a proper set of Cathedral terrain but fuck me, a whole set of that stuff costs about half an army. Meanwhile I can pump out my own terrain with a bunch of shit from the dollar store and still have money to eat. Real hard choice, that.
Just want to shout out and say thank you for this vid. I have been creating a gaming table, work still ongoing, but four of the buildings I have created from card and other things in line with the guidance of your video. I'm no master terrain builder, but following your guidance they look awesome, so thank you very much!
Glad your table is looking good! Terrain is just all about doing more, and doing more and you're never gonna stop learning and getting better. Hope you. enjoy the journey!
Back in my Flames of Wars days I bashed out an entire ruined town out of delivery pizza boxes the night before a game. It lives on in a box in my shop labeled, "Kardograd"
My favorite terrain piece of all time were the soda cans I had piling up for recycling. Just so damn much you can do with them. Mini-outpost stations, power conduits, shelters, Small T'au bunkers, Necron....*things*. This, however, really opened my eyes a bit more. I've been dabbling with pre-built terrain from my local pet store/Walmart with incredibly cheap/cool results too. Amazing job! Subbed!
Back in the mist shrouded days of 4e 40k I used to make my space marines drop pods out of coke cans, corrugated cardboard and foamcore board. Was great stuff. Think I might just do that again, feeling a little nostalgic now.
Dude this brought back some nostalgia for me .. when I first got into warhammer at the ripe age of 10 . (21 YEARS AGO) I used to attempt making ruins with cardboard. They looked like a bag shit but I loved the process . Gaawwd I wish RUclips and MS Paint was around back then . Love your videos pal I watch them all the time and i love your humour. Would love a game one day . Much lovo x
5:41 barricades aren't just stuff to stop bullets or other weapons, they are also for hiding you from the sightline of enemies, discouraging passage through certain areas and alerting you if someone does pass through
So, I actually love working with cardboard for terrain... but I've held off on using pizza boxes specifically because of the food stains issue. I'm legitimately concerned about incorporating left over grease, tomato sauce, & cheese into something that's going to sit on my shelf for years. Does anyone have suggestions on how to reasonably clean/remove/sterilize the leftover pizza gunk? Or assurances that I'm worrying to much, & a good enough seal stops pests?
Loved this video and now watched (always check its family friendly ) will show our school group. Showing them how effective this sort of build can be really inspires them and not just in wargaming terrain creation. Also ticks the reuse instead of recycle box as well. Now to convince the school to buy the pizzas from the budget. Thanks for another great video.
These look great dude, and super cheap to make is right up my street. That secret ingredient, that’s the pricey stuff right there! None of that cheap flour! Great video dude
@@MSPaintsYou've inspired me to make a bombed out street. My favourite way of making glowing embers is to use red Easter egg paper, well crushed, and brushed over with mascara. Against a dark background, it's amazingly realistic.
kitty letter also make some for some great basing for models and terrain. need mix it with some water down pve, but you can to a degree make crack ground, trench much etc.

I've watched a million terrain videos, and this the first time I've seen the masking tape or the flour tricks. Cheers man, those are some quality tips.
Very impressive modeling, brilliant use of waste materials, I learn a lot with your videos.watch your language, I watch the videos with my kids, know your audience . Good luck 👍
Love how that texture turned out, that's a great tip. All pizza boxes are great material :D Freezer pizza boxes tend to be thicker versions of the stuff cereal boxes are made of, it takes texture really nice if you draw on it with a pen.
New to hobby, new to the channel - loving the posts - used this as inspiration at the weekend to build some scenery for me and my son - some great ideas to help us build loads of terrain. Can't wait to get into this hobby more and more - thanks buddy :)
Great video man! They turned out great. Wet cat food boxes also make great wee houses and terrain pieces with the cardboard so thick, and if you're a cat owner, never ending supply 👌
Just wanted to wish you and yours a very happy holidays! Also, hoping your not uploading a video so far this month is because you are just too busy settling into your house and enjoying a much deserved break! All the best in the coming year.
Great video as always! I'm thinking of creating a garden of Nurgle, do you think I should just leave the pizza in and wait a few weeks? Would you be able to make a follow up vid? 😂
Rad build Dave, love using the flour for texture. I’ve not done that before, gonna have to try it out. Those little pipes are clutch to have on hand too. 🤘
These are as good as at least 90% of the terrain I've played among, you actually get it on the table for one thing. You can make the shell of any sort of structure. I still prefer tile grout to flour but that's just me.
Really great results, I aim to emulate this project! Just need to justify to my wife that buying a titan for the off-cuts to decorate pizza boxes is good housekeeping... fingers crossed, wishe me luck!!!! Lol!!!
Love the channel… and the terrain Looks great mate!! I Always have to watch your videos twice pal, miss so much the first time round because I can’t stop fucking howling 🤣. Hope you and yours are well mate 👍
I really like the idea of using flour for the texture 😱😍 I'm going to try it with my first piece of homemade terrain (a small classic cardboard corner ruin) and I have a question first. After applying the flour, could I use some watered down PVA glue applied with a really fine diffuser to seal it before painting it instead of varnish? or would it be too much liquid and get the flour soaked and ruined? Thanks and great video man, I really really like it and going to use it for reference for a lot of techniques and little tricks to apply to my projects. Cheers 😄
I suspect it wouldn’t break the flours surface, and it’d sit on top. But if you find a diffuser that works please let me know, I’d prefer to do that over varnish
@@MSPaints Yep, I dredged them through vinegar and then microwaved them for exactly 17 min. Now not only are they as good as new, but they have since glowed this poppin magenta.
Is grout the best material to use? I need to fill some tops of some cardboard walls I’ve made. Can you put grout at the bottom, as a stand for kind of rock and does it stick to the cardboard?
I just loaded up on free wine boxes out of Tesco. Cardboard without the gross grease stains! Being engineered to carry glass means they're quite robust.
2 years late but just seen this. I'm in my 60s now but when I was a kid I made loads of dioramas using newspapers and flour as papier-mache. We lived in an old farmhouse at the time and they all went mouldy.😂
2:50 Well yeah, of course the second floor is always intact for a good vantage point, what else are the two armies fighting over other than good vantage points?
I'm totally throwing out my tile grout, now. Ever since I had a bad asbestos scare, i'm always nervous to use any sort of inorganic solid in my crafts.

"Oh yeah the parts you need are old imperium parts, what you've got there is newer adaptus parts mate.....that's gonna cost more" 😄
"Bob the Builder,
Can he fix it?
Exterminatus he can!"
See that mate, that there’s Ork mold gonna have to scorched earth this whole neighborhood
"they aren't great"
You take that back!! These are amazing!
Two questions …
Q1) Does the grease on the cardboard ever interfere with adhesion?
Q2) How do you prevent the bases from being wobbly once all the material have finished drying?
Thanks!
I don't know what's more classy. The smooth jazz or the use of waste materials.
Just a classy jazzy guy sticking trash together.
Classic. I think alot of us started here, and its a nice reminder you can make great terrain without selling a kidney for MDF kits and resin. Good stuff man!
Felt good to go back to the roots! Cheers

Once again showing who pizza is the greatest invention known to man. Pro tip with the flour. Nice looking finish.
These look brilliant. I think anyone would be stoked to play a game with this terrain.

Kardograd: twinned with Foamcoreton. 👍
Would love to see some pictures of it!
@@MSPaints it never made it as far as yours. Just the base structures. No finishing, no painting. I literally had to have something to fight around.

this is becoming one of my favourite channels. That is all.

The flower texture idea is definitely one I'm going to have to try

This is why I'm subscribed to your channel. Practical information in a well-edited video. You rock.
Thank you bud!
I immediately noticed the koudelka music, thanks for bringing back a few memories there.
Oooo those tubes /straws you got off Amazon…. I like! More durable than plastic drinking straws…. 👍 Just what I needed.

@@MSPaints there's a bit of editing that goes on before we watch lol
Great, it's 11.30pm. I am meant to be a sleep but no I am tempted to watch a your video and now all I want is pizza 🍕.
These look great dude, and super cheap to make is right up my street. That secret ingredient, that’s the pricey stuff right there! None of that cheap flour! Great video dude
Love it, really like the taping to layers of card together, never heard of that before!
Love the work you're putting in! Practical, with a bit of sarcasm! Keep it up man!
Dude, you nailed it, I have watched a lot of trash terrain builds, this by far crushes them all. Great idea, awesome tips and tricks. Thank you.
Ay thank you bud! I was worried it was gonna look like a soggy sack of garbage!
30 years in the hobby, and that's the first I've seen the flour trick! You've earned my like, sir.
Thank you, I was pretty surprised myself!
@@MSPaintsYou've inspired me to make a bombed out street.
My favourite way of making glowing embers is to use red Easter egg paper, well crushed, and brushed over with mascara. Against a dark background, it's amazingly realistic.
This is about to go on all my bases and get painted black or grey for generic rock/concrete look
kitty letter also make some for some great basing for models and terrain. need mix it with some water down pve, but you can to a degree make crack ground, trench much etc.
Awesome video Dave!! Thanks!!
Love your videos, straight no nonsense crafting!!
Thank you!

Depending on the warp, parts may arrive in 28 business days, or 28 centuries, or three weeks before you ordered them
Either way the bloke will never turn up to fit the.
I've watched a million terrain videos, and this the first time I've seen the masking tape or the flour tricks. Cheers man, those are some quality tips.
Very impressive modeling, brilliant use of waste materials, I learn a lot with your videos.watch your language, I watch the videos with my kids, know your audience . Good luck 👍
That looks awesome. Definitely something I want to try, now to eat all that pizza. Thank you for the tips and tricks.
excellent. I might have to give this a try on my cheeky wee channel. That flour trick is banging.
Great tutorial, definitely good results and something I’ll try on future projects. Thanks for your time and help!
Ahh yesss blue tape. Nice work!
Love how that texture turned out, that's a great tip. All pizza boxes are great material :D Freezer pizza boxes tend to be thicker versions of the stuff cereal boxes are made of, it takes texture really nice if you draw on it with a pen.
That sounds better! The corrugated texture on this stuff kept coming through
@@MSPaints Bit more time consuming if you need the thickness, though it layers up nicely.
flipping around videos on your channel and I just gotta say your bgm taste REALLY hits those nostalgia bones

7:00 I've got some of those Painters Touch cans from Rustolium. I'm not a fan, nothing water based sticks over them.
As I discovered when applying washes, haha. A Matt varnish seems to deal with the issue.
These videos are great and definitely make scenery building feel more accessible. Nice one!
I havnt made scenery like this since 2nd edition 40k, nice to see an old style of creating scenery come back
Great video man! They turned out great. Wet cat food boxes also make great wee houses and terrain pieces with the cardboard so thick, and if you're a cat owner, never ending supply 👌
Great stuff. Was expecting Health and Safety Frog to appear or the Spackle joke. I’ll have to give the flour a test when making terrain.
Didn’t have time to write him the usual amount of lines he asks for I’m afraid!
Greta video. Another wonderful addition to the collection of cheap hobby terrain ideas.
Cool old school DIY! Feels like the stuff I saw in "How to Make Wargames Terrain" book back when I started out in the hobby.
Not sure about window sizes but damn that's some high value re-cycling. Impressive and useful tips too. Thanks fella, stay safe.
just found your channel...your model building is bob on and your video editing is mint...thanks dude
Thanks for watching! Always happy to have more viewers!
Just wanted to wish you and yours a very happy holidays! Also, hoping your not uploading a video so far this month is because you are just too busy settling into your house and enjoying a much deserved break! All the best in the coming year.
Just very busy mate! New video on Sunday though
Loving your channel, great tips and a fantastic no nonsense style with great humour. Keep up the great work fella
with regard to the grease in the pizza boxes try cleaning it with alcohol cleaning wipes. that should clean off the grease
Great work mate!!
Looks fantastic
Love this!
My favourite terrain from the 90’s was a piece I made from cereal boxes. More of this!
Great video as always! I'm thinking of creating a garden of Nurgle, do you think I should just leave the pizza in and wait a few weeks? Would you be able to make a follow up vid? 😂
I think you’re onto something there. My partner had an idea for a terrarium living board. But I like your idea of a living board better
Rad build Dave, love using the flour for texture. I’ve not done that before, gonna have to try it out. Those little pipes are clutch to have on hand too. 🤘
Very handy, I bought quite a few to be fair. They’ll get used a lot
Loving the videos! Keep up the good work!! Gonna give this a go myself.
Lovely work.
Smooth video. Real smooth.
Great. 👌
As promised - commenting - abso banging, canny get over that flour trick.
These are as good as at least 90% of the terrain I've played among, you actually get it on the table for one thing. You can make the shell of any sort of structure. I still prefer tile grout to flour but that's just me.
They look pretty great given the source materials - I like the final textures
Really great results, I aim to emulate this project! Just need to justify to my wife that buying a titan for the off-cuts to decorate pizza boxes is good housekeeping... fingers crossed, wishe me luck!!!! Lol!!!
Christ on a bike, this lad is the shizzle.
I was going to pick up the Army Painter terrain pack, no need now! Appreciate your graft 🇮🇪👍🏼
I love this channel. Keep it up.
"They're not amazing, they're not great" Have I got some news for you! You're wrong and these are badass!
Love the channel… and the terrain Looks great mate!! I Always have to watch your videos twice pal, miss so much the first time round because I can’t stop fucking howling 🤣. Hope you and yours are well mate 👍

Bro's beanie is holding that together like the train scene in Spider-Man
When I saw you bust out the flour I nearly creamed my jeans. I've used flour for desert bases in the past and it works fantastic.
Hahaha, thank you bud. Are your jeans okay?!
@@MSPaints Yep, I dredged them through vinegar and then microwaved them for exactly 17 min. Now not only are they as good as new, but they have since glowed this poppin magenta.
Nice! Do you think the flouer method will also work on mdf?🤔
Yeah I don’t see why it wouldn’t!
Great content boss! Did you casually add you had a Titan at 5.30?
Nah, a friend bought one and gave me his off cuts!
@@MSPaints how kind! 😂😂
Gordon Ramsay approves;) Well done man!:) it’s always cool seeing someone going back to basics… refreshing
Awesome. I love your humour.
It’s growing on me too!
Another great video Dave and very useful information regarding double hard Turkish take away staff 👍
Yeah, definitely watch out for him!
found this channel today and love it !!!! please make some bolt action and black powder shiz greetings from sunny switzerland
Black powder is on the to-do list!
Great work. Cheers.
Love these...I have build my own version of the main building....
This is awesome. Thanks
Loving the Koudelka music in the background ;) Also I made some scenery out of this very stuff and honestly it didnt look so bad!
It’s surprisingly good, crafty, but good!
Is grout the best material to use? I need to fill some tops of some cardboard walls I’ve made. Can you put grout at the bottom, as a stand for kind of rock and does it stick to the cardboard?
This is awesome 🤙 I'm going to give this a go
You can probably do a better job than me! Enjoy!
I just loaded up on free wine boxes out of Tesco. Cardboard without the gross grease stains!
Being engineered to carry glass means they're quite robust.
That's someting for a gaming club: meet, eat pizza, make terrain, game! win, win, win and win!
Yeah like our Hunter gatherer ancestors. No parts go to waste!
@@MSPaints of course.. how could I forget! Beer! Getting wasted afterwards! 8)
Those pipes were being sold in bigger packs in One Below. Also, how do you prep the rubberised corner pipes for paint? Thanks
I just painted them... and now the paint is coming off! So that's fun
Dear Dave, thats fecking amazing! Best Wishes Johnny
Thanks Johnny!
Great video, man. Thanks.
I've seen a guy make power silos from pringles tubes. This stuff is great!
They ARE amazing man! 😮

Really cool. I do fancy a pizza now though.
Excellent !
Yooooooo that background music sounds so familiar, is it a cover of the battle theme from Koudelka?
Yes it is! Waterfall!
Before you started painting it it was looking not so great, but in the end it is rather good looking considering what you used. Well done.
Yeah for some dirty old cardboard It’s totally fine I think
mmm nice. very nice👈. enough about the music, great job fella another entertaining and informative video 👍
Thanks laz!
I'm totally throwing out my tile grout, now. Ever since I had a bad asbestos scare, i'm always nervous to use any sort of inorganic solid in my crafts.
Oh man, I’d say try it first! My results were hit and miss!
Very impressive.
Another great reason why I need more pizza in my life!
