Good list. 1 tip for people who will inevitably say that the granny grating/knitting mesh doesn't glue to anything: wash it first with warm water and dish soap, let it dry, then lightly sand it on both sides all over. Mine come covered in an oily residue from the manufacturing process and it is very smooth plastic so taking the oil off and roughing the surface a little lets glue adhere to it.
Fair, I don't actually have issues but normally I am hot gluing because of speed. I will keep this in mind, thanks.
@@TerrainMadeEasy I also use hot glue, but also for some applications use the gel type super glue (CA glue) or e6000.
@@jordanbeard6687 yeha gel would be whata I would use :)
I would also recommend going to a pet shop website or ebay and ordering some cheap and rigid substrate filter “mesh”.
If you live in the US, a Menards is a great place to get stuff for your terrain. I haven't started my project yet but as I watch these videos I see alot of things there (I used to work at a Menards) and now can see a lot of things I can use in my project.
Hello! You can find different kind of materials used to irrigate plants.
There are pipes 5mm ,and joints of differents shapes:cross,45grades,90 grades and so on.
Op Shops/Thrift Shops can also be great sources of material for converting/transforming into terrain and/or detail.
Cable ties, floral wire, sprues, little ink pipes from old pens cut to slices and used as rivets, old conical spot lamps to act as antennaes, you name it. Happy New Year and Stay Safe!
Interesting ideas. Happy new year. Thanks.
best thing for cutting most of the hard plastic mentioned is a 'coping saw'. Definitely a most useful tool to possess
Yeah I bought a cutter and I don't really like it!
Oh yeah, I’ve used 2 soda caps glued together to make cargo containers and the baby food tops for ventilation fans. I guess we all think alike! Great video!
Yeah, I just felt like putting some ideas in one place for people just getting started :)
My husband does plumbing and I’ve never seen him look so nervous of me pinching his fittings 😂😂😂😂
I can imagine him cursing you when a much needed fitting is in some terrain instead of fixing a leak!
Some great tips in this video mate. Thanks.
Thank you kindly good sir :)
I get about 10 12in.x12in. Sheets of granny grate at Walmart for about 2$
wow that is cheap, I don't think I can get it that low in the UK! Nice
You mentioned those hair curlers and I got transported back into the early 90s man, not seen those things in years! Great video as always :)
Heh yeah it feels very old school! Thanks.
You can get them from China (Wish, I think).
actually, there is a cheaper and more user-friendly alternative to granny grating called dry wall mesh tape. the fella over at terrainosaur (i think?) turned me onto the stuff and ive never looked back. you should definitely give it a go!
I know about the stuff and have done for awhile actually, but I actually think the sturdiness of the granny grating makes it functionally different.
I own two massive rolls of the stuff, but the material needs to match the need. The mesh for example would not have worked for the item I used as in the video.
@@TerrainMadeEasy true, the right tool for the right job and all.
@@thra-x1855 Indeed, I do prefer the mesh I think for many things but granny grating so easy some times.
Joint tape for drywalls is great source for mesh.
For sure!
My dollar store carries wood cube and popsicle sticks in the art section and a knock of jenga in the toy section. These can be used to make nice modular walls, walkways, and towers. The cubes also make great terrain for warehouses.
I have used the mesh bath puffs to make fences. Skewers make posts, and super glue the mesh right to them
Sounds a little awkward but I imagine it looks great. Wyloch did something slightly similar but used foram board on the ends
I find that sprue framing works well, too.
Yeah, I don't currently have much sprue oddly!
Just started planning sone terrain after getting started with the 40k recruit set. Guess im lucky i work in a plastic extrusion factory and have unlimited pipes/hoses and tubes of all sizes 😁
Heh that is very lucky indeed! Good luck.
I would add a couple of things:
1. Dry Wall Tape. This stuff is great for adding texture to walkways or flat areas. Its already adhesive so sticking it down is easy, I'd just add a bit of pva/super/wood glue to get it to stay. works in the same way as granny grating. You can find it cheap at a hardware store for a few $ a roll
2. Mesh from window/bug screens. Same idea as the dry wall tape but a smaller mesh. Find it at a hardware/diy shop
3. Wood/Carpenters glue. This stuff is great. Basically a straight upgrade to pva. Faster drying time, especially if you get the fast dry type. I bought a large bottle for a few dollars at the hardware store. You can "paint" this over the edges of foambaord to seal it allowing you to spray your entire terrain piece without waiting for the black paint to dry
4. Dry Wall filler (Spackle). If you are using foamboard, this stuff rocks. Seals the foamboard edges and reinforces the entire piece when it dries. Just rub a wet hand over it to smooth it out to prevent chunkiness. Adds a nice concrete like texture too. You could leave it rougher for a more rusty effect, just keep in mind to will add to your dry time
Yep, they are all great, thanks for sharing :)
Good vid! TO be clear though, the mesh is actually Cross Stitch Mesh, not knitting Mesh in case anyone had trouble finding them.
ooo thank you, I think I normally call plastic canvas? I don't know.
The water guns is a really good idea! Those look great!
For sure, it didn't fit my channel at the time but if you can get one, they do look great!
I do a lot of stuff with nerf gun bits, I pick them up from Car boot sales, super cheap. There are lots of cool cogs and bits inside them as well.
Yeah I think that's the best way, not good for me doing CZcams but good if you can get them!
Great vid ! I found cheap waterguns in the dollarstore (action) 2nd hand is also a good source.
I actually meant to say that facebook and second hand is good. I don't like that I can't link to cheap standard ones online, I guess that's just because it's not worth it really.
I have had the same situation with the water guns too. They tend to be more expensive online and I have not seen any at the dollar stores near me, at least not yet. Might find more in the dollar stores right before summer though.
Faceboook marketplace is a good place to keep and eye out. But yeah near summer they become more popular :)
Black fine sandpaper as asphalt. Just paint yellow or white lines in them, and voila, instant roads.
Yep, I have done a vidoe on 5 ways to make asphalt and that is a classic. Thanks :)
Grannie Mesh can be substituted by Dry Wall Tape and it is sticky backed so no need for gluing down to surfaces. See DIY stores or Amazon.
Yes I have a big role some place in the house
Gang boxes are available in Australia (Bunnings) for around Aus $2.50.
Also good for ladders is gutter guard.
Hmm I need to look at gutter guards for that :)
The rim of the racket looks useful as a type of girder, if you can cut sections from it.
yeah it seems plausible, interesting
The knitting mesh bit, well, they make sink drainer mats made out of the same stuff...a lot cheaper than s knitting mesh.
I think I may have picked some of this up, but will check it, thanks
I was looking for this! Thanks for the tips!
Very happy to hear that. Thanks and good luck in your builds!
Love the ideas! Especially the hair curlers. Just bought some granny mesh from your links as well. Keep up the videos!
Thanks for using th elinks and good luck :)
And finally, I've seen some nice things done with the mechanical bits of printers. Sadly mine seems pretty reliable so I can't justify taking it to bits.
Yeah there's good sources for stuff but they are all custom and not something you can buy which is my main criteria for this vid.
Love this vid! Thanks for the ideas!
Great ideas Jay! I bought a PVC cutter which looks like shears but is made just for this kind of plumbing to cut. It does a good job and requires little cleanup afterwards. I bought mine from Harbour Freight in the U.S. one pair should last a terrain majer many years. Thanks for sharing this.
I bought a cutter but it sort of bends the pipe, I think I may have bought one for a bigger pipe
I definitely need to go to the plumbing section more. Great video, love using random stuff to build terrain.
It's a consistent option for little bits and they do look cool. Thanks
I loved the plastic racket for making easy ladders. Definitely gonna try that one out!
Yeah I use that one quite a chunk. Thanks and good luck :)
So glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work 🙏
My pleasure, thank you
The cases cheap ink jet cartridges come in look good as small machines, engines in cases n such.
For sure that's a good shout, I have been storing mine!
Coping saw with a fine wood cutting saw blade is good for water guns and other big pieces of plastic.
Enjoyed the video, didn’t know those pipes came in multiple sizes. I guess I just have the big ones so I’m gonna have to do some shopping 😉
Nice, and thank you for the info :)
Hi buddy, great video, very useful. It's nice to see Terrain and wargaming channels doing well on CZcams, keep up the good work. Thanks for the shoutout and maybe one day we can do a team up video or get a game of Legion 👍
Hey, thank you. Where abouts are you based? I think when this covid thing is done I will be travelling to as many events as I can get to!
@@TerrainMadeEasy We plan to do the same, Cv19 really put the breaks on travelling and meeting the community. We're based in the midlands not far from Birmingham mate 👍
@@CraftyTerrain Not that far from me, about 2 hours. So I can see me heading someplace close :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy Sounds good, once lockdown is over let's get something sorted 😁. Can arrange the details on Discord 👍.
Awesome man.
Nice video thanks for the inspiration
My pleasure, thanks :)
Gutter guard also can be cut to make ladders.
Ye sindeed, good shout
Loads of great ideas, I'm now thinking of buying printer for parts off ebay! 😄
Heh I very much have considered stuff like that, I wonder if you can pick up old cheap cameras and stuff.
@@TerrainMadeEasy sure you could, just a matter on if you want them to work or for parts will define the price they cost!
@@stillunsure7630 I meant broken ones for cheap bits!
@@TerrainMadeEasy yeah can get some for very cheap.
What kind of bits are in a camera?
Hey great vid. I know all of them and have used some. Great stuff
Thank you, sorry there wasn't much there for you :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy no need to be sorry, its a great video for beginers. I wish i have one a year ago ;)
@@locolarkin8529 Indeed, thank you :)
I came here for the pipes/aquarium filters/chipboard
The aquarium filters nearly made it!
I go around all the charity shops get all the wonderful things you need for a fraction of the price
yeah with covid I haven't been but I do plan on when I feel a bit happier about stuff :)
Did you upgrade your lighting? Video looks great, and awesome ideas!
On the face or the item b roll?
On the face I bought a little second light and I also colour graded it this time.
No change for b roll but I'm trying new things all the time :-)
Great video! There are literally dozens of the play pipes on Amazon, I ordered some and they noticeably smaller than some of the ones others are using. Is the link you left the bigger sized ones? Thanks
Sorry I don't know about a US link, it's not possible for me to verify the sizes! Sorry I can't help.
I love how u reuse several things! Here is a weird one what about paint pods from citadel what can u do with those?
I'm all about recycling. Some of the videos I made, I made knowing I was going to do this video :)
I saw a recent post on social media of a hobbyist who has used a GW paint pot to build an Ork (Grot) Killa Kan. He just added legs and arms with weapons and dakka.
@@GeneJordan are paint pods panint pots?
@@TerrainMadeEasy yes. I've edited my post. I think it was a typo by the original poster.
@@TerrainMadeEasy Perhaps once the pot is empty of paint, then it magically transforms into a "pod"? 🤣
Granny grating isn't a knitting item. It's actually called plastic canvass and comes in lot's of different shapes and sizes.
What is it actually for? Maybe something like crochet? I have no idea!
@@TerrainMadeEasy It's for making 3D objects. You stitch on a pattern with yarn and can make lots of different things. You make basic shapes and stitch them together, much like we do with foam and glue. I've made dolls house furniture, tissue box covers, recipe boxes, and castles to name just a few.
@@elliscrow4556 oo nice, I had no idea. I will still probably call it kniting mesh at times as people will sort of know it by that, even if it makes no sense really! Thanks.
Very nice list! I can't find those pipes locally so having a store item is useful :)
One thing about granny grating/plastic canvas: Terrainosaur gives a good explanation for not using it again and replacing it for a superior yet still very cheap alternative: Joint/drywall tape, here's the video with the full explanation and demo: czcams.com/video/iwXA84v2RwI/video.html
Also mosquito netting can fulfill this purpose in many cases and the minimum amount you could get would probably be a years supply.
And one with coca-cola caps that is easy and fun is using two together to make barrels!
You can probably get the smaller ones on ebay or something...well I have no idea if you can but normally they are from China so I would presume so.
I do like the other options, I have a massive roll someplace. I like the plastic mesh just for like speed and width, but for sure the other options can be good.
And yeah bottle tops pretty versitile! Thanks for the info.
Windows screens also work is you build in supports. If your really cheap home depot ships bricks in a mesh packaging that works.
I always seem to have trouble finding the plastic hair curlers in my area.... (Seems that most hair curlers are made out of foam of some sort for the core, or the ones that aren't are more like a Velcro texture on the outside....) Is it just me or does it seem like the manufacture of said hair curlers is being phased out?
I am with you, they were a pain for me to get online, try a dollar/pound shop
Facebook marketplace here in the states for the water and nerf guns. Often you can get group lots and cheap lots with non working guns.
Yeah you can get them for cheap at times for sure. It's a greta place to get local "junk" that's great for terrain
Not quite as cheap but worth looking into are the Maestrom's Edge terrain sprues. This video where they use them to turn a parts bin into a building is worth watching in particular.
czcams.com/video/5tYrLbCbMzM/video.html
If you stretch them out with some of the ideas in this video you could get a lot of terrain out of a few sprues.
That is interesting you say this, I actually bought lots of these to see if I could use them instead of the gang boxes, ultimately I didn't but keep a few just incase I come up with a cool idea.
@@TerrainMadeEasy IMO, the gang boxes work as part of a building while the bins look better as buildings.
@@edevans5991 for me the bins were a bit small for like heroic 32mm but I didn't try it, so not sure.
Sorry, are the larger play pipes for the US link as well?
Sorry, as I said I don't know, I wouldn't want to get you to buy something that is wrong.
No worries, thanks for the reply
@@5150clone I do feel bad but not much I can do from the UK, I can access Amazon USA but I can't vouch for some of the stuff as I can't order really. Good luck though, hope you find what you need. For bigger pipes you can also look at pumbling pipes and sprinkler pipes.
Oh no worries man, I totally get it. I’ll keep searching. Love your channel man! Do some more industrial terrain! Your channel is awesome. Thanks for your contribution to this art. Just getting started myself, your stuff is inspiring
@@5150clone Thanks, it is on the list to do more at some point. Thanks and good luck :)
Dude brush your hair hahaha
Good video though, thanks for the tips!
Heh I mush prefer it short and unruly. When I brush it, it often looks worse and it looks like I tried! It's a lose lose.
Charity shops.
👍👍👍
Regarding waterguns.
Scratch Bashing used on of these really dirt cheap waterguns to create a crashed aircraft. Even those rather shitty water pistols can be used, apparently, although the plastic is a bit brittle.
czcams.com/video/7jlqW4x3JM8/video.html
So, I too got myself two nerfguns, some six or seven Euros each in the toys department of a large supermarket and did the same. Looks like a flying brick, so it perfectly matches the Space Marine aesthetics. xD
"Expensive" Nerf Guns are sth like 15 - 20 EUR, and you get loads of material.
Yep, if you can pick them up cheap they can be pretty dang dope!
Huhr cuhr-luhr
Heh I can't help my stupid northern accent!
@@TerrainMadeEasy nah your accent rules!
@@TheDrewjameson Heh thanks :)
No link to bottle tops. Dislike Unsubscribe. :)
I should link to like coca cola bottles on amazon
I don't know, I have a hard time being ok with a video that just shows what others have done. I know you can't own an idea but you even used there footage. You could of showed your take on it or something. Maybe it's just me but seems a little like a dick move. But maybe I'm wrong
I asked for permission from everyone where I used video footage (I did not ask for the one's that just showed the video thumbnail).
So I think that rules out the dick move part?
And why I didn't show me making some of them is a bigger topic. For example the water guns, my videos are often about replicable terrain, I could not find a consistently cheap source for a good water gun online avaiable in US and USA, so I didn't do it - I might do at one point but that's why.
The electrical gang boxes, they are mainly avaiable in that shape in the US, and while I managed to get amazon to ship them, they are no logner avaiable for me in the UK. Therefore not available to a chunk of the audience.
Basically there's generally reasons why I haven't made stuff for each item, but that doesn't mean the item isn't a good choice.
Could I have done 5 instead of 7, yeah maybe, but I wanted to get as many in that could help people.
Other than that, I don't quite understand the issue. I don't think anyone know's where the original source for the idea's came from.
@@TerrainMadeEasy It's never a dick move when you copy something good while giving credits to the "owner" of the idea, it's called spreading a good result, so that maybe others can build on it, enhance it and take it a step forward. Imagine if a scientist could relay his research's results to only a handfull of friends and they were not allowed to spread them further. Knowledge could have never been spread. Plus, when a bunch of good ideas are presented together, it is called condensed knowledge and it is time saving for the viwer. Whether the presenter shows his own work, or the work of others is not important, on the contrary he should be commented on his effort on gathering, processing, editing and presenting the data. Happy new year and stay safe.
@@johnphilippatos I understand the point though. If I had just used other people's footage without asking, they might not have been happy with it. But I got permission from everyone where I used someone else's footage. So I think all good. :)
Mate, your channel offers people some good knowledge for decent cheap terrain options, like you say you asked permission, you credit those people so there’s no issue. Your not claiming it’s your ideas- pretty sure most crafters take ideas/ resources from everyone else, it’s how you learn.
