Love the "SPAGHETTI" Affiliate links - priceless
Great tutorial, and spaghetti. Also a rectangular cube is called a cuboid :) (which is a really dumb name since it basically means it's cube-ish ;p)
I'm an engineer and for that metric is the way to go, but for woodworking (one of too many hobbies) and almost everything 'human-scale' I 100% agree Imperial is the way to go. Here in Malta we work much the same way. We use metric for nearly everything but indoor spaces and furniture generally Imperial is preferred.
I find when stencilling an uneven surface a stencilling brush AKA a large dry brush gives a great effect
I understand the feeling of breaking your nozzle and I'm currently waiting for a new one
Mel is awesome!
My 9 year old son Nolan watches your videos with me. He called your containers "epic".
He was really excited when you said you like to keep the struggles of builds in. He literally said "hey that's like me" when you said how things dont always go smooth.
I really value that I can watch your videos with my kiddo and that your content is so family friendly.
Amazing work as always.
Thanks for sharing.
My ten ywar old also named Nolan loves to watch your videos. Together we are working on a small village together. This is for a story i am telling him and my other two small children they are involved in as characters.

Beautifully said!
I have told many CZcamsrs the same thing. I don't want to see anyone struggle or fail, when you see people that are professionals run into a problem and how they tackle it it can actually be very inspiring. It shows us that people, that we admire, also run into problems. I personally like when CZcamsrs leave some of the stuff for the videos.
"hey Barb, the neighbors outside let's go say hi. Looks like he's gonna play with his kids' toys. Oh he's sitting down... Yeah, yeah he's alone. Now he's got a gas mask on or something. Barb, call the police."
These look great! A little tip: I find paper stencils sometimes behave a bit better by just (very) gently sponging on your stencil colour, rather than spraying or airbrushing. It also sort of adds to the weathered look for builds like this :)
I was going to make this same suggestion. It works great if you're after a weathered look.
"I can hear every German screaming..." :D
Thanks for your understanding. :D Metric all the way! ;-) ... except for TVs and tabletop hobby...
German scream
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH"
We even messure houses in Millimeter 😂😂😂
@@brotkannschimmelnwaskannst604 Here in Argentina we also use metric for construction too xD
i was totally screaming internally xD
As I also mentioned in the BMC discord server before, I found a new friend in the inches. :-) To me its much easier to handle fractions like halfs, quaters and eigths of an inch, than handle 10th of a centmeter. The inch fractions make lots of things much easier.
Finally Jeremy didnt really mix the systems. He just used another ruler with cool 3/16 inch marks. :-D
I'm American and I can either use Metric or Wrong
The best tutorials I've watched are the ones that show problem solving. NOT a step by step breeze through of a project or technique. Great work, and I think the new style is perfect.
"BMC", good old Bulk Movement Containers; safe shipping to where you need it, when you need it.
Those look great; especially given the troubles you had.
Designer: "Sir, we're almost done making this map but there's a small area we can't find room to put anything in. What should we d-"

"MEHTAL BAWKSES!!!"
Read in JK SImmons' JJJ voice. It's perfect!

Designing anything from scratch always has its challenges as well as rewards. We learn from failures so good to see someone keeping it real.
With airbrushing using a stencil, it helps to use a tiny piece of sticky tack where it needs to be held tight. Thats how i hold my stencils when painting hex patterns on my tau tanks.
I can no longer remember which painter said it, but there was a famous painter (paraphrased) that said "to make a masterpiece you must first make a disaster". I appreciate watching you screw up and then figure out how to make that mistake work for you, or how to fix it, really shows you enjoy what you're doing and that there is history behind your talents.
I had to build a life size gorilla out of card board for a class a long time ago and I will never forget what my teacher told me. He looked at the piece and pointed out the area where I started the project and said “ I love this area, I can tell this is the area where you were still figuring it out” it stuck with me. When you make something you consider art, you not only want to tell the story of what you made, you also want to tell the story of how you figured it out.
My dude, you can 100% tell the difference in your production quality going from part time to full time!!! You’ve really dialled it up to 11, great work.
Pasta... You madman. I work with a lady from Ontario, and we had to make a lab practical for our zoo students a couple weeks ago. It included measurements with a tape measure. The Imperial system blew her mind. Canadian carpenters and American zookeepers apparently need to both be comfortable with ambi-measurements.
Gluing pasta on paper, a skill decades in the perfecting.
If you are needing post modern scatter terrain I know an easy one. Take some half inch dowel rod, and cut it into half inch tall little peaces(Cut clean as possible). Now find a packet of the micro black rubber bands they use for hair ties. Roll two of them inwards about an eighth from each end and put two more right on the ends. Glue them in place and then prime and paint.
They look like oil drums and are pretty close to scale.
And I thought I learned nothing in elementary school.
The new style is awesome. Kinda similar to Adams one day builds on Tested.
Oh yeah, and the shipping containers look great too.
I personally don't play any modern games, but it's really nice to see you making what you really want to make, not what you think other people want to see. Cheers, Jeremy!
That is the most concise, articulate explantation for the use of both Imperial and Metric measurements that I have ever heard. Thanks, Jeremy!
I really like that you leave the mistakes in. You can learn a lot more from failures than successes in my experience.
I love that you also show when things don't always go to plan. It's certainly the best way to do videos. I think these have turned out great also!
Those containers look awesome. Love the spaghetti solution. Made the doors look like those of an actual container. The little squares in the corners were not necessary to sell the look. Those things are just part of the mechanism used to lock the container unto a truck frame. Excellent work and thanks for sharing.
This is a good project for someone with few resources who wants to fill a table. Those spaghetti remind me of Bard's Craft channel. He uses lentils, macaroni and other easy to find things for his builds. He even made a dragon out of sticks and pine needles that looks totally rad!
For crimping your paper, you could also use a paint tube squeezer (for artists) if you plan on needing corrugated material often. They also sell "paper crimpers" in the scrap booking section and while they are a bigger width, they are pricier than the tube squeezer. Basically the "wheels" of the crimper interlock like gears and corrugate.
You sharing your tips from when things go wrong helps alot, it shows the rest of us that are thinking of doing projects what works and what does not.
Fantastic craft! I love Mel too. I’m in the USA and wish we were metric. Once while traveling across the country I passed a big billboard somewhere in the middle of my trip that said “BOYCOTT THE METRIC SYSTEM”. Stunned me a bit. Loved seeing your process on this one. I learned a lot. Thx.
I do enjoy a more vlog style chat video. Liked this format where you showed us your struggle and your thought process, and explained the hiccups you had.
The square bits with holes in the corners are for stacking them securely. I learnt from an article about shipping container housing (and the problems therein) that you have to stack those containers corner to corner because only the frame is strong enough to support the weight of a stack of laiden containers on the top.
Snafu is the way forward damn sight more informative and definitely more entertaining. The fact that these still turned out to be "good enough" is testament to your skills and gives us all something to aspire to
I liked the argument for one Measurement system which is basicly him saying:"because it's better and im used too" XD
I really like the process driven narrative, warts and all. Makes it much more accessible.
Thanks for being as real as you can be. I think this is my favorite building video that I've seen in a long time. Great job!
" The Real Struggle" style of your building is WHY I watch you. Plus I just love the sound of your voice.
Keeping it real by showing us where things go wrong is extremely helpful. Please keep this kind of content going! The containers came out awesome, even more so because you faced difficulty in getting them there.
Rubber cement is also excellent for paper-to-paper. Basically instantaneous, though once the pieces touch they are pretty much stuck forever. Also, there are stencil brushes you can use, if you're worried the spray paint will get out of control; it's a round flat-tipped bristle brush that you use to stipple the paint across the stencil.
But yeah. Showing how things go wrong and how you recover from them is more useful than a tutorial where everything goes perfectly.
Hey there BMC!
Just a tip from a guy who occasionally makes props and a few terrain pieces here and there:
Use toothpaste. Get a glob of it on either an old toothbrush, or a napkin and tap it on the rust layer, then put your top coats on. After everything dries, all you need to do is rub it off, and it looks very organic.
The secret is to keep the glob of toothpaste thicker in those areas.
Also works great for paint chipping effects.
Learned this from the Mandalorian Mercs and Bill Doran
Happy crafting!
just an idea for those of us on the cheap side, velveeta boxes make great shipping crate bases, and you get to eat!
100% agree that showing your mistakes and work around is more interesting for the viewers. I feel like it makes a craft more accessible to those who'd otherwise be a bit scared to try.
If you run into the wobbly stencil problem then your best option is usually drift painting it with a rattle can.
Just set it one the ground with the stencil facing upwards and hold the can at a 90 degree angle next to you and lightly let the paint dust downwards.
They look pretty good, those holes in the containers if I recall are for the lifting mechanism on the cranes that load them on the boats.
Ah spaghetti, the most fundamental of pastas and apparently a decent crafting tool as well.
You've actually delved into my realm of work now. I am a truck driver and while I don't transport those shipping containers I am familiar with their design and function. That is why I am sadly unable to contribute crafts to my game table anymore though.
That being said, I still love the work and I hope that my schedule opens up again so that I may do some terrain for my players in again.
Now, if you'll excuse me all this talk of spaghetti has made me hungry.
You know, I had been searching around for a couple of days trying to find how to build better looking shipping containers, and then BEHOLD! Black magic craft has a video on it! You are one of my favorite CZcamsrs of all time, and I appreciate all the work you put in to show us how you do things! Always great content.
To get a good seal on your stencil you could make the stencil itself from corrugated paper as well. You may have to mirror the logo to place the stencil face down, if the back of the paper is flat.
A sponge or stippling with a brush could also work as alternative to airbrush or spraycans in a pinch.
Great video.
Professional carpenter? Then you should make a video building a spray booth :) I'd watch!
When he said that, I was thinking the same thing!

woah they look awesome, and i like the format of not being "perfect crafts", i tend to improvise materials and techniques and found my self learning from the mistakes i make.
i think is less frustating when you watch videos of people you look Up to and found out that they strugle too at some point, it encourage me to keep it Up.
thank you very much, i have being following your videos since the end of 2017 and it have been an awesome path to start treading.
The holes on all the corners are used when stacking containers on ships. Nice to see someone make both "20ft and 40ft" containers good job sir. Also using a stencil and a sponge to paint the lettering will help prevent the paint bleed.
The holes in the corners of the containers are lockdown holes.
There is a turn bolt that can be used to allow them to be stacked on each other, or even on a train or truck flatbed, and then allows them to be locked together.
Just wanted to say that I appreciate the format of this video
In the US, we used a lot of metric measurements in CAD
I appreciate the failures and honest commentary as much as your homeruns! Well done, sir!
Dungeon Stackers of the modern world - Shipping Containers!!
Struggling with process, engaging with the materials, adapting to/overcoming 'failures'; these are terms we use when talking about creating art. Keeping those things visible to the viewer is a main difference between craft or profession and art. Its the struggle that makes it compelling. Thanks for being a great teacher, a great artist, and always sharing.
Hey, a long time ago I saw a painting technique used by Boba Fett cosplayers and thought maybe it would work for modern terrain...
Basically there are spots on his helmet that has paint chipping. To get that effect, they painted the under layer, let it dry, then put mustard on the spots that would be chipped. They then spray painted the next layer and let it dry. The mustard spots were then easily chipped off to reveal the layer underneath.
I've never used this technique on terrain, but thought it might be worth it to pass on the technique in case you wanted to try it in a future build.
Mustard, toothpaste, and liquid latex are great chipping mediums.
Huh.
Ok, that's getting filed away in the Useful Drawer.
Great video and I love that you show your struggles and f'up's as you go. You looked adorable sitting at your kids table 😆
Just wanted to say the reason I appreciate your channel is because you give it to us wort's and all. I like the discussion about the issues you had so that we can avoid them or anticipate them. Love the struggle, love your discussions -- thanks for doing that!
Next time you make a stencil for the airbrush, try to make it out of painter's tape or blue tape. This will make a stencil that will not move when air is sprayed on it and to can be used multiple times. If the image is big, try to overlap half of the tape with another trip so you will have a bigger area to cut out. This will also make it stronger! One last thing, if you fear that the paint will be removed once you peel it away, try to stick it on a t-shirt so that it will stick less, but still attach to the surface you wish to paint
Really like seeing the story of creation.. not edited to make it a perfect tutorial. Keep this style. Please and thank you
Corrugated paper. I would have never thought about that. I know what I'm doing next with my next 40k terrain building.
I have never played table top games, but heck i'm addicted to watching these videos!
"I can hear every German scream"....you're so right! I did xDD But let's keep that aside. ...I really like the new style of your videos, which show much more of the process. Very nice!
This was a fun build to watch - and seeing your mistakes and frustrations is very helpful as it shows that you can fumble, make mistakes and still have a great looking finished item at the end of it all.
I totally agree that seeing the struggles helps. We all have to slog through the process (even when you've been doing it for years), and seeing that can only help those who are just starting.
Always a 'thumbs up'... :)
I love seeing the process worked out, warts and all. First, it shows us the process of crafting as it really is. It also makes me, as a crafter, feel better when I screw up (which is always) - it happens to even the best of us. Thanks so much for yet another awesome video!
I enjoy the story of the crafting. It gives me something to aspire to instead of just instructions.
I love those blurry stencils--strong video game vibe! Might be tough to re-create, though. Great video.
Thank you for sharing the struggle! Problem solving and experimentation is a huge part of crafting and making. The containers turned out fantastically!
Jeremy - thank you so much for not editing your struggles out! It's always a joy and inspiration to watch BMC, and even moreso when you give us the "Real Talk" on how stuff can not work out as planned.
Seeing you deal with/discuss the struggles that plague us as crafters; and how to fix them is a MASSIVE help.
Thank you so much for all you do!
The holes are top lift, and anchor points. They look awesome!
I think this is my absolute favorite video you've done. Super inspiring to see you push through the difficult parts of the project, it helps me do the same. I'm definitely going to bang out a couple of these once I get some corrugated paper.
Thank you for sharing the struggle as well as the highlights of your projects. Every video, I think to my self "I could do this!" and it inspires me to create. I'm working on a boss mini based loosely on a pokemon right now, and I can't imagine having ever started had it not been for this very philosophy. Thank you!
I am definitely enjoying the modern and sci-fi builds. Thank you showing us the true struggles of crafting.
The story blogs with the real life hiccups are great! Keep it up!
One of my first tries at building things was some containers, i used some boxes and corrugated paper. Love to see this video going back to basics.
Great job. For the locking handles I would use coffee stirring straws. They might be the right size.
You have been a big help for all of my crafts.. I made my own videos on the Derps and Drunkards CZcams page of your 3x3 terrain and OG modular cave terrain and they turned out amazing! Thank you so much for helping make the DnD experience come to life for me!
I need to get a set of Shipping Containers done. Thanks for reminding me, now I have to add another thing to my ever growing craft mountain.
Macaroni art! The absolute madman!
They're perfect
100% agree with your final thoughts. I like see the hole process with the problems and all things. That's why I like your channel. Big thanks!
Great video, thank you for sharing it.
DEFINITELY a nice change seeing videos where you've included things not quite going 100% to plan...... Always helps us viewers when we hit those inevitable stick spots ourselves.
Oh and mustn't forget.... Those containers look BRILLIANT!
I really dig all of the modern/post apocalyptic stuff you are doing. I have been a student of yours and Mel the Terrain Tutor for about a year and you guys have enriched my gaming experience immeasurably. Thanks!
Great video, your learning curve is our learning curve. I'm off to look up hairspray chipping. Hoping you have a vid for that! Cheers.
This is a great build. It’s builds like this that keep me coming back. I love the use of everyday stuff and simple items that get stellar results. One of your best. Thank you!
This is another great video, and I def prefer the realness of showing your thought process, and showing the struggles along the way.. It has a way of making me not feel like a complete failure all the time, when things constantly go wrong while crafting, unlike when you see channels that seem to make things "perfectly first try" and with very little effort
Thanks for showing us the mistakes too! I've always been more of a cardboard and paper kinda crafter, but after finding your channel, I'm mid getting all the basic items I need to try working with foam and the likes! Been interested in seeing how spray painting works after dropping by one of my local hobby stores, so good to know some of the potential pitfalls when using it. Am super inspired by your stuff always; keep it up!
I love that you let us see you build it as you build it!
It's always in the details! The details on the ends of the containers truly sells the build.
Better to see the errors you can come across and how to overcome them, keep up this style, works really well for learning the true steps
I really do appreciate you showing the whole process the mistakes and everything and how you overcame them and helps me as a crafter because then I know that there is a way through the aggravation
Big thanks on this one!!! Nice and simple, something I've wanted but didn't want to do the work I've seen on other channels. Much easier design.
Man, I am loving the new format where you showcase your struggles. I am definitely one of those individuals that feels like they face every unforseen obstacle possible during every project I attempt lol. Nice recovery and what I like best about your videos is the, "just get it done whatever it takes" type of tenacity and approach.
Great video! I too used The Terrain Tutor awesome video for reference for my shipping containers. For the doors rods I used soldering tin wire and thin tin plate cutted and curved around the rods for the pins. They turned out quite well!
My husband and I have watched your channel for a while and I am starting to craft (using tips and tutorials from your channel for my first build). We both really like your new style. The struggle is real and it’s great to see that everyone goes through it. Keep it going ❤️
I only just got into the hobby, and your videos have been my favorite to watch! You have such a pleasant and relatable presence, and it's easy to follow along.
I do love the modern terrain builds, it's a nice bit of variation. Thanks for all the hard work that you do bringing us these videos, they're truly appreciated. I would love to see a video of you showcasing some of the Bones Kickstarter figures all painted up, or perhaps a few videos of you actually going through the painting process and your thought process for making them fit in the game(s) you're using them for.
Nice work. It was nice to see the speed bumps that you run into and ideas for solving them.
Great stuff as always.
Thank you for this video!
I previously watched the terrain tutor video on making shipping containers, and have made some for model the model railway layout I'm planning. My first attempt was ok, but wrong size... I used wood blocks as the base, and used the glue sticks to glue the corrugated card to it... they turned out ok, but I didn't know how to do the doors...
I then made a smaller one which was the right size, but again I didn't really focus on the doors properly.
However I DID practice different painting techniques including the chipping, adding rust, etc.
However after watching your video I am gonna make another one and do the doors differently.
Thanks!
Yes. Thank you for showing everything that goes wrong. Just excellent!
I definitely agree with watching a 'first time through' build, rather than a superficial 'perfect'. It's nice to see how you think around a problem since I run into issues a lot as well with my own projects. Thanks for the great videos and the high quality of your videos, I know it takes a lot of your time but you do a good job.
Great credit to Mel, love your approach to keep it fresh
Absolutely love this layout, watching you got me into crafting terrain (mainly the DnD episodes).
Huge fan.
Good job on the doors !!!
And thanks a lot for this tuto, showing your questions and problems. I'm currently prepping to build containers for my WH40k table, so this will be most useful :-)
I love the edits lining up the sound of the building with the music.
