- Anycubic sent me a printer and a wash n cure machine, so I printed some awesome details for this set of Gothic Ruins. They didn't pay me to praise them (beyond sending me the machines), but I enjoyed using the products and can recommend them to anyone interested. You can find them at their website below.

Lol, I have the exact same stuff on the way from anycubic. :-D
I've been on the lookout for lots of gargoyles recently too. It almost feels like you're inside my head! Great looking ruins Eric!
Also, this is exactly the way I use 3D printing, it's so great for adding details!
If you don't look out for the Gargoyles; the Gargoyles may look out for you. :O
Working on that cathedral per chance?
People who get the distinction between grotesque and gargoyle will always get a like from me
You mean the spelling isn't indication enough? Lol
I was about to make the same comment.
The tv show gargoyles was the best
Love the results, just don't get too attached to the printer... You're an important figure in the Court of the Scratchbuilder's League of Extraordinary Personalities
You should totally combine this with your walls and have a city siege
The Cable Tie on the side is unironically a game changer never thought or saw that in my life
I think i got that from black magic craft but i can’t remember
@flonk plonk He cut the ends off of a cable tie and glued it to the side of foam core that made up the roof to add detail and hide the foam absolutely genius 11:03
A cool detail to add color would be a few shards of dirty stained glass shards sticking out or in the rubble at the base
Be careful with that gorilla glue buddy!!! Also WOW... this really is awesome, the old and the new work together so dang well. :-)
I hear its great for hair too..lol
The two way tape wont hold up a small painting but the adhesive is 100% permanent lol
Nice tip on the zip ties to hide the foam core.
I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to comment on this vid. That's some ace modelling right there!
I love the fact that you called it a grotesque and not a gargoyle because you are right it's a grotesque. No water, drain, etc...
Gotta try to preempt the pedants! Hahaha
That marble floor is really cool.
Mmmmm... corbels.
I’m so happy with the floor. Go check out Wyloch’s blue agate floor too!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Indeed, that was great. I was a bit worried when he added the black wash; but the finished effect was spot on.
This is exactly how I see the real benefit to 3D printing. Sure you can just print minis to paint. But the options for digital kitbashing make your ability to go anywhere with your ideas so much easier. Great to see someone on CZcams embracing printing this way!
Enjoying the humour. You've definitely upped your funny guy game.
Excellent blend of resources! I have a pile of windows but had not even thought of attempting gargoyles. Awesome!
"I don't want it to be a snagging hazard" says the man about a building with a bajillion gargoyles/grotesques ;P
As long as the snags dont draw blood lol
Adds some more realism for the blood god..😄
The marble technique was great
This has to be my favorite build yet. The 3d printed elements knock this thing out of the park!
Brother, that tile is incredible!
I like that you got the use of Gargoyle and Grotesque correct. Most people just call them all Gargoyles.
@1:30 I know that it's an office space quote, but it's actually pretty straight forward. PC stands for Paper cassette (the name of the paper tray on that model of laser printer). Error codes from that generation start with the location of the error (Paper Cassette) and then what is the problem is. So "PC: Load Letter" is saying to load letter sized paper into the paper cassette
That marble floor method blew my mind. It looks so good!
This is how I end up making a giant tables worth of city ruins. Such a cool idea mixing the different techniques together rather than falling into the old grudge match. Really great edit too!
This is undoubtedly the best homemade "sci-fi ruined building" tutorial out there.
There are a LOT of different videos that talk about making ruined buildings out of foam core, but I found that the end product of nearly all of those videos look exactly the same. I'm sure that those conventional buildings serve their purpose on the gaming table, but none of those videos wound up making a building which didn't look distinctly "home made out of basic craft materials," and I suppose that's to be expected when everyone out there is using similar materials and techniques to achieve their goals.
I understand that 3D printing is still a luxury for many hobbyists, and that the inclusion of this technology might be prohibitive for many. However, you've demonstrated that the sparing inclusion of certain details like windows, corbels and statues elevate that same basic scratch-built structure used in so many previous crafting tutorials into a totally different result, a that result is exponentially more impressive than using basic crafting materials alone.
As the owner of a resin 3D printer, it always irked me that I can print incredible miniatures, but the larger terrain files that come in so many of my monthly subscriptions wind up collecting dust on my hard drive due to how prohibitively expensive it would be to print larger structures in resin.
This video proves that you don't need to print the whole thing to make an incredible terrain piece, and you can save your resin just for the interesting details while still building the majority of the structure with basic crafting techniques.
This is the tutorial, and inspiration, I was looking for.
Glad to hear it!! There is so much potential for 3d printers - hobbyists are just beginning to scratch the surface
I think 2021 is the zenith of creativity it's like the 1980's all over again. All you guys are really bringing it hard this year so far.
"PC Load Letter, what the fuck does that mean?" Ah, the office space reference gave me a chuckle, such an underrated classic
Oh man I LOVE the marble floor technique, I have got to try it out sometime myself
This is exactly why I want a 3D printer for my own hobby crafts.
love the ziptie idea on the side of the roof!
If you want chipped / broken pieces in future, maybe try and break them *before* putting them in the curing oven? As far as I know, the resin should be softer at this stage and more easily breakable. Another idea would be: make a mold from your resin piece (as someone else suggested) but pour plaster in there instead of resin. That should be easily breakable.
Awesome build btw!
I loved how multi level was this piece and how every little detail is amazing!
3d Printing opens up so many possibilities for your builds excited to see what you come up with!
Dude, you're builds are so good! I'm always entertained, educated and inspired when I watch your vids. Cheers!!!
Y’all ever just snap out of an anxiety attack when I see a new terrain video from Eric
This is a great example of how to incorporate 3d printing into scratch built terrain. Thanks for sharing!
Watching your videos and skills grow is a joy, learning alot on the way too.
The tiles are awesome. Keep the builds coming Eric. Loving it!
Great video. Really clever way to incorporate 3d printing and scratch building and very well executed.
This looks amazing!!!! I really like this technique of 3D printed details to easily boost the look. Also that marble dude...that marble 😍
I think this is the way forward. You can knock out spectacular terrain in short time. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great job. You make this seem so effortless. I love the fearless creativity you have when doing your builds.
16:33 that marble floor looks amazing! It gives a real suggestion of opulence that matches the detailed exterior.
Outstanding work on this building! This was a great tutorial with some really neat ideas. Thanks for sharing this.
Amazing. Ive started to make terrain after binge watching your videos.
I have a 3D printer, I didnt even think I could do this with it. And it fits so well with my Night Lords army theme! Amazing!!
Ooooh love the idea of zip ties as easy peasy texture to cover the foamcore edges! Genius!
I Just got this exact pair, 3 days in and I am LOVING IT!!
17:21 you can really feel the tension building! Eric really knows how to make a crafting video exciting!
I've been doing this for awhile (print details and add them to foam or other basic structures) and I love it. Super excited to see if you keep going with this method and what you do!
What a nice vid. I like you com,posited the pieces, both with each other to create a cohesive addition, but then also with hand-crafted parts, to form the entire build. Really well done. It almost makes me willing to get one, just for fiddly bits, such as windows. Almost
Awesome! Really Awesome! I wan't to see more of this Ruins.
Awesome looking building. And I also learned something that can be transferred to miniature basing with the marble floor. So extra thanks for that :-)
Those marble tiles! That rebar! I love this construction. (Of course, I would have left it pink and green, but to each his own.) Congrats on a fantastic video!
Awesome piece of work, Eric. Hats off to you!
The 'kitbashing' grotesques in ChiTuBox and MeshMixer looked really fun
Love this I have the same printer plus 4 cr10’s and I have stocked up on windows ,doors,fences and gates I don’t know what I would have done without the resin printer it has changed my game big time.
That bag trick... gonna steal that one. THANKS!
safety first my dude
Another awesome build, great work as usual Eric!
Nice Office Space reference. Great looking build.
I really appreciate your videos man, they really bring me so much happiness even when I feel the worst
I swear, anycubic sends 3d printers to all of the terrain crafters.
It's like they have a spreadsheet tracking you guys and gals subs and once a certain # is hit, in the post it goes.
Thats a whole next level. Looks awesome. Good techniques and your video format rocks.
Great looking build! I really like the integration of the 3d printed parts into scratch-build frameworks, I think it represents and excellent opportunity to get a lot of fast value from both methods, identical corbels would be a nightmare to make by hand, and flat walls take forever and are expensive and wasteful to print. Really interested to see how this ties into your building methods going forward, keep up the great work!
Construction adhesive... Finally someone who appreciates the stuff as much as I do! Sticks, fills gaps and you can even sculpt with it to a certain degree!
For rubble I’ve found plaster of Paris poured into a flat container then broken with a hammer or dropped onto a concrete floor (just sweep up after) make for great and cheap (as well as realistic for that matter) rubble for buildings. You can mix in some grey craft paint (I suggest a light grey) before it cures for a realistic look (also includes its own dust!)
That is some fantastic tile. Always impressed with your methods, man.
Wow this is on a level above stuff you have done previously; just goes to show that if you use the tool of 3D printing well, it enables you to really strut your stuff as an artist!
Outstanding! You have leaped foward! Need a companion video to expand your ZM video. Detail it up!
thats nice, now I got really a reason to get a 3d printer, and nice work on the building
Absolutely awesome. Just fantastic from start to finish. Great details, commentary, tips, and camera work. This was inspirational, and it was timely, given that I'm 3D printing greebles and converting a pile of collected junk into 40k terrain currently.
Such a nice message, thank you. I’m really glad you enjoyed it
If you have any left over marble tiles you could use them to make loose or broken tiles in the ruble. Great build.
What a soothing build. Fantastic work.
Great mix of 3D printing and traditional crafting! Most people would've made the entire project out of 3D printing. Im glad you showed that by combining the two makes for an awesome effect! My wife is going to hate me for wanting one now. I will blame you 100% for showing how good the end results are! Plus now the prices are dropping on reliable machines!
Love the office quote! Keep up the good work man!
very cool man! welcome to the 3D scene! ill be using these techniques
jeez. possibly one of the most detailed WH40k buildings I've ever seen lol very nice!
This looks great! 👍🏻 well done Eric on a great build!
Awesome looking building man! Would love to see your take on buildings like this with more life put into the interior of the building. Always we see these ruined L shaped buildings, but rarely anything to suggest the purpose of the building, like with remnants of furniture in the rubble or other needed elements for habitation or whatever, like waterpipes and other utilities
just started using my elegoo mars for this same sort of thing for my necromunda board, printing greeblie details to detail structures and the mortalis walls, as well as digibashing a floor tile "stamp", as my plan is to use eva foam floor tiles for the base board, heating it in sections and using the stamp to emboss the tiles into the floor
Absolutely awesome video man, alway inspiring watching your channel :)
The speed of just being able to bash things together as you go along is a really spectacular pitch for using that construction adhesive haha. It seems to be about as fast as using hot glue but whenever I'm building something I often rather reach for the PVA or tacky glue just because I can't stand the little wisps of hot glue getting everywhere or how much it stinks up the place.
I love you for knowing the difference between grotesques and gargoyles. Thank you for that.
😉
Ah man, with the amount of viable Night Lord proxies out there you're gonna love printing. And damn that's some amazing scenery! 👍
Awesome video mate!! Really like the way you incorporated 3D printed elements into the build😍😍😍
Will try to do something like that on my new Mordheim board😉
That marble paint job was the star of the show!
Nailed it, looks great. I'm hoping to pick up a printer soon so I can start doing similar styled builds.
Been debating grabbing a wash n' cure machine for a while now, seeing how much more efficient this was than my current method. Might be time to take the plunge.
Another fantastic build, Eric!
Dude you have really upped your craft!!!
3D printing opens up quick options for highly detailed builds. The downside is they don't need the same kind of ingenuity to use, so use them sparingly or make sure you maintain your traditional hand-crafting skills and ingenuity for by specifically taking on challenging projects and NOT using the 3d printer. I loved the tiles you made, by the way. Excellent!
Looks amazing! best ruins Ive seen!
Great work Eric
This is absolutely epic! As a newbie in terrain building you inspire me a lot :)
That tile design is exactly what I needed to finish this towering, gothic skyscraper I've left unfinished for the last 6 months! I didn't know what to do with the floors... Time to paint some marble!
Niiice . Sounds like a good plan!
Just beautiful, truly an amazing build man!
Epic looks on this one!
Out standing job there. I bet with a bit of design work you could print out the broken pieces of the gargoyles and grotesques right from the get go.
Absolutely amazing as always!
I'd recommend trying Lychee slicer, it's also free and I've found it to be more stable with better features than Chitubox. Great vid!
I like everything but the Gargoyles. Depends on the durability. However the mix of 3d printing and foamcore/windows/sides are 10/10. Great work with the weathering and exposed floor
Stunning build!
You've changed the entire game. You genuis.
