Pull your spray nozzle off and soak it in thinner and replace it. After you're done spraying a rattle can, hold it upside down and spray it a couple quick blasts( psh psh ) till you stop seeing paint. Use small bursts it cleans out the tip. Don't over do it as the can only has so much pressure but it helps keep it from clogging.
Trash you say? Toilet rolls are worth more than gold right now in england :)
Heh well in the next one I was going to do a sculptamold alternative with a minor twist, but now I am not sure.
Toilet rolls are trash. Toilet paper is rare.
It’s true, it would be cheaper to use gold 😂
It's a great way to get some quick terrain on the board especially for new players trying to get set up.
I remember when I was a kid I took a walk to my nearest B&Q with some pocket money, got a 2'x4' sheet of polystyrene (discounted because it was a bit tatty/damaged), a bunch of tester paint pots out of a sale bin.
Then with a bunch of toilet roll tubes, food tins and other junk out of my mums dustbin, I put in a solid evening of work and had enough hills and scatter terrain to populate a 4'x4' board.
And that terrain got some serious use until it was slowly replaced by stuff I made with more care later down the line.
I'm all about trying to get people to start, and I think just showing how easily and quickly you can get things done is a key part of that. Sure, it's not amazing but it will do!
And that sounds old school classic! I will be doing something like that at some point. :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy I do think a lot of potential new people to the hobby are put off at the set up cost if they are factoring in buying terrain too.
It's pretty much only around youtube and blogs that scratchbuilding is talked about at all.
@@meanderingshade For sure, easy to be taken in by mdf kits, 3d printers, store bought stuff. And it just adds more and more cost.
The egg carton pieces look legit I woulda never guessed they came from that!
I think that's one of the cool things about terrain, turning stuff into things you wouldn't recognise :)
Your issue with the Army Painter spray can will undoubtedly be the nozzle. They seem to get bunged up on those more than any other type. Try swapping the nozzle with one from another can.
yeah I might try that, just to try and use the rest that's in there. Thanks.
To prevent “nozzle bung,” when you finish spraying always turn the can upside down and press the nozzle on a hard surface The resulting spray will clear the nozzle You need to spray like this until the spray comes out fast and wide as normal Probably no more than three seconds
This is inspirational, you've got me eyeballing a paper towel roll for those catwalks that are all over Necromunda boards.
I would have liked to have done it with paper towel rolls but I didn't have 3 used ones in the house. I am happy to help, like nothing in this is original really, but just wanted to show that with cheap materials and even limited time, you can make useable stuff!
Spay paint issue is caused by buildup on the nozzle. Use a cotton swab (or hard brush) and alcohol or acetone to clean the opening. Start with alcohol (always good advice! LOL) in case the nozzle is harmed by acetone. You may also need to use a needle to open the end hole (try not to enlarge it) by picking at it. Or alcohol soak of the cap its self and compressed air from the can side.
Or, toss it and get a new one! LOL
To avoid it in the future invert the can, spray a small amount of "air" out of the can, then use an alcohol wipe on it to keep buildup from blocking the hole.
Yes the end bit of advice is something I know but perhaps don't always do! I will try the first part though. Thank you :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy Your welcome. I have had to do it a few times because I also don't always clear the nozzle. LOL
@@BoWhitten i sometimes only remember after I have put everything away, and then I can't be bothered!
As a major note, for that kind of terrain piece, metal isn't the best option. That type of pipe actually looks more like the cement ones in form, so a light grey followed by a darker washes works well for them, and largely paint them before gluing them together...and end with a little bit more of a wash at the join parts...
Yeah I don't disagree, I think I saw Gamza's video and didn't really like the look. I think just rusted brown is okay in this instance but I do think grey is cool.
I do agree with paint before assembly, I was cutting corners :)
@@TerrainMadeEasy If you want a really cheap way to upgrade the pipes beyond just paint, take a strip of cereal box card stock and put it around each end of the tubes, the end result looks a lot more like pipes of any kind.
Also, slight offsets on the pipes can add to the look of the end piece by not having them perfectly stacked.
This is great and could be a series. Now you've practised it you could make a check list for 1 hour terrain makers. Something like - Step 1 concept prep. step 2 build the piece. step 3 make the base. step 4 bevel the base (which you forgot here and you definitely had time to do it.) step 5 glue bits together. step 6 flock base. step 7 base coat. step 8 paint, step 9 dry brush. Step 10 foliage. Done :)
I'm not sure you could really sand a base, and paint it, and then flock it all with in 1 hour. Like 1 hour of effort yes, but 1 hour from start to finish, I am not so sure. But I miight try!
@@TerrainMadeEasy I meant sand when I put flock :p I am not a terrain maker lol to me it is the same :p
@@xCriticalStrikex ahh no worries, I will try and make a sequal at some point :)
Cut small sheets of paper towel with no design on them to fit around the individual rolls, spray the toilet paper rolls with spray adhesive, attach the paper towel to the roll. Gives texture, hides the spiral in the roll, takes virtually no time to attach, hide the seam lines the same way you did in the video and hit with a light coat of primer so as to not destroy the texture or reveal the underlying spiral.
What spray adhesive would you use? Obviously I was going for speed and cheap, but I hadn't seen anyone do that of the pipes, it sounds interesting.
I use 3M Super 77 but I don't know what adhesive you have available to you, just about any spray adhesive will do the trick and while the initial expense of a can is a little high that can will last a LOOONG time.
If possible I'll post pics of finished pipes on your community page soon.
@@Fnordathoth ahh yeah in the uk bluetak do a good spray, but yeah the expense wouldn't quite fit this video :)
@@Fnordathoth Look forward to it :)
new sub here, great fun content to watch while late night terrain crafting
Thank you kindly. Happy to help. I am just starting to ramp back up now after having a new born :)
Aww. Well done.
@@manxuma123 Thanks :)
The pipes are cool, but the real winners are the barricades. They look good. Well done!
Yes, they are by far the best piece out of the three. I didn't expect it to look as good as it did. Pretty easy if you can get decent looking egg cartons, obviously egg cartons are generally all slightly different,
Ok the pipes try this. Get 3 rattle cans. Prime with red oxide primer. Then with flat black from angle below horizontal very lightly spray and try to get shadow areas. Then from above at 45 degrees and about 45 to 60 cm spray your grey or silver. Less is more with the last 2 colors. Then a wash with a dark earth shade in recesses and streaks on lower two pipes and finish with super light orange dry brush where needed and dry brush base. The rattle cans are in effect being poor man's air brush and dry fast if you do light coats. Thanks for great videos cheers from Canada!
Yes it's not a bad idea for sure. I would deffo use the red brown kind of primer, and do a wash I think. I'd also probably would have used a texture spray. This one is more like a challenge than trying to hit my best work.
Thank you kindly :)
I love how you say supah gwoo. It's so cute!
That Northern English accent at least liked by someone in the world! lol
They look great! Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you like them. My pleasure :)
Super fun video, dude! Love the ideas.
Can't claim originality but happy to help. Thank you :)
Excellent! I love your delivery, very personable. Your train of thought feels very similar to mine when building terrain and I'm sure many others can relate. Love the way the tank traps turned out and props for your honesty throughout. Great channel.
Hey, thanks for your kind words :) I'm just a regualar guy, with no real talents! So I am trying to show the average joe can end up with decent terrain either quickly or cheaply, or in some case sboth!
@@TerrainMadeEasy you're more than welcome. I've returned to the hobby after 40 years and seem to have less money now than when I was 10, so your money saving ideas are fantastic. Also, turning household rubbish into art is a joyful thing!
Very encouraging video. Good motivation for those of us who are time-poor. I like your style. Well done!
Some great ideas there,will definitely use them
I can't take credit for the ideas in any way shape or form! But happy to help :)
Thank you for the inspirational pipe vid. I have a stockpile of empty TP rolls that I'm going to use to make a gangload of pipes. Cheers, --Bo
My pleasure, not my original ideas, but wanted to show with basic stuff and little time you can get some stuf fon the table :)
Those egg carton pyramid bits are good for fantasy, too. Stick a marble or bouncy ball on top, and you have an orb/pylon!
oo I might actually give that a bash :) Thanks
Man im surprised how good you made those things look! Great job ☺️
Quick, Cheao and easy for sue :)
Swab the tip with isopropyl. Worked on a ten yr old can of black primer for me.
Now I need to get some Iso in these current times :)
I have a few off days every now and then when a project isn’t going as well as I’d hoped and I need a change of pace, these are perfect for those times . Thanks
I know those feelins, sometimes a break and realisaing that the problems you were havign can be overcome etc
Nice video. To give you extra credit, making the video and narrating it took up valuable making time, so in realy you had less than an hour. Good going! :D
Indeed, it was just to show how quickly you can get some stuff done :)
nice quick simple examples of terrain!
Glad you liked it!
just found your channel ive played 40k and necromunda since 2nd and 1st edition,now my 11 yr old son is getting into it,love your vids! me and the boy will be doing this :)
Honestly that warms my cockles (maybe a UK northen thing - I mean it makes me happy :)
Good luck, welcome and thank you :)
Probably should be well ventilated when using that super glue
For sure, I would normally pop open the window etc but I think as I was rushing I forgot!
You need to have spare nozzles in storage for the rattle cans
Apparently so!
Just found your channel! These are so great! Especially the toilet paper rolls! Why didn't I come up with that.
I am not the inventor of this (of almost anything on the channel) but I am glad to have helped :)
You could have used a hair drier to speed up that last step. Still pretty good for under an hour.
For sure, I don't normally do that but I might do for the next one!
nice job , instead of super glue there are rapid drying wood glues to
Yeah, I have actually picked up a bottle since :)
Awesome video dude. Thanks for this.
CZcams not telling me when there are comments! Thanks :)
This was a great tutorial! I am going to watch more of your stuff!
Thank you kindly :)
Wrap some cereal box card strips around the ends of your pipes for a better look
I went straight to the fridge to eat my remaining eggs so I can try this. It turned out awesome!
Heh I love eggs! Thanks
Keep it up bro can't wait to get my hands on it
Easy and quick to do for sure :) thanks
Love your channel!
If you don't have toilet rolls you can make your own out of rolled paper. You just need to figure out the best way to hide the seam.
Yeah, and tin foil / aluminium foil rolls can be good, or paper towel rolls.
The toilet paper should be painted as concrete pipe like in Dora Emon anime series
No idea what that is but it's certainly a possibilty and good option :)
Great video!!
Very impressive!
Thank you kindly :)
Made similar barricades with sprue bits
Oo nice :)
Exactly what I needed, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the ideas. New sub.
Thank you most kindly :)
Those are some really nice ideas, i wanted to try and do some battlescapes for diaramas, and that barricade, and the rock are nice ideas, but i have a question, what and how would you suggest to clean these?
I don't think I would clean them? You can some times buy plastic vesions of egg cartons which you could cleam. The pipes yo ucould buy some plastic pvc piping which you could clean but for card, just wipe with a dry cloth and leave them.
Sweet!.
Thanking you :)
If the spray paint is army painter then soak it in hot water for a few minutes before spraying it.
I will try that, I think I need to remember to do the upside down spray when done.
@@TerrainMadeEasy yeah I learned this trick from squidmar miniatures. You guys should do a collab some time.
i try this, i mean its literaly an aegis line with egg packages wow
Amazing video
Thank you kindly.
I must down load it !! Its super easy and soo pretty 😮🎉
All projects look great but the toilet paper looks pretty damn close! Hard to get the spiral lines not to show. Great video!!!
I did consider taking cereal box and making a wrap to hide it, just easier to not bother and go as is for speed. Thank you.
Yes sir I agree totally
@@thrashviking7707 Thanks again :)
"You can never find a pen when you need one"......
Finds pen.
True, I normally have a pen to hand when making terrain so got grumpy I couldn't find it!
I would have sprayed the egg cartons first then put the sand on it
You are probably correct! Some times less haste is better :)
Love terrain making, but cutting molded pulp (eg. egg carton) makes my teeth hurt from the "squeetching" sound.
The egg carton is a marvelous piece of scrap.
Besides tank traps and baricades, the lid makes for a decent bunker and the bottom bits can be used to make turrets.
Then you buy a bag of cotton pipe cleaners and burn away the fluffy part exposing the wire underneath. Curl that wire around a pencil and you got barbed wire.
And tadaa! Decent tablesize terrainset in less than 6 hours that costs next to nothing.
Sounds very interesting, will have a gander. Thanks :)
Don't throw it away turn it into a fuel tank or something
I have so much terrain in my loft that I need to find a better storage solution lol
I walked a parking lot today and found alot of plastic bits for terrain. Remember to recycle
Always use what you have
I love how you dont care about your appearance it's so inspirational.
I didn't think I was looking so bad in this one, but even though you don't really mean it as a compliment, look, I have a wife and a kid, my appearence really isn't that important to me at this old age!
@@TerrainMadeEasy it was a harsh joke I was more less talking about your messy hair. Great vid btw
Is this channel still alive?
Not right now, I am on a break :)
"EPV isn't trash, so sue me!" 😂😂😂
It's the best basing material!
It's an eggstra ha ha
Eggcellent.
You’ve got to be yoke(ing) me….
please don't record yourself talking into the camera when you make a crafting video. just record yourself crafting and talk over it from the background.
i personally get tired of skipping the parts of you talking into the camera which breaks the flow of the video.
your crafting is great. results are awesome. your talking... meh
So this was an editorial decision. And if you watch any other video you will find I normally do talking over pre-recorded footage, but as this was more of a challenge and I wasn't sure what would happen, I wanted it to feel more "as we get on".
Could I ask for a bit more of what you mean by flow, so when I am talking I am not doing the terrain you mean? I can try and improve it for this style of video as I will be doing more (this is my most popular video in terms of views). So I'd be looking to improve upon anything for this style of video.
Most videos will remain as voice overs though.
GARBAGE
Where are you from? I thought both trash and garbage were mainly American? In the uk we'd more likely call it Rubbish, but it doesn't sound as good!
Potato=Patato. No matter how you say it. It is still Garbage. I even tried to watch a second video and lasted less than 1 minute. Sorry but Garbage. Even in Canada we still call it garbage, trash and rubbish. Sorry
