40k Terrain - Part 1: Terraforming

FAQ - UPDATED 03/02/2019 Contact Adhesive/Cement - Chances are your glue and XPS Foam are going to be different to mine so the compatibility may vary. The solvents in the contact cement could possibly melt your foam, it melted the surface of mine but only a tiny bit. Be sure to apply in very thin coats and test the adhesive on some scrap pieces first. If you're still having problems you could try a water based contact adhesive (the drying times are much longer). Or simply use low temp hot glue (not as temperature resistant or tough and you might need to cover up your joins if you can't get them flush and be sure to get rid of your glue strings). UPDATE - Water based Contact Adhesive sucks, try a construction adhesive suitable for foam like Liquid Nails Fast Grab (the kind that comes in tubes for a chalking gun) Expanded PVC / EPVC / Foam PVC - I use 3mm (0.118 inches). This stuff might be harder to get in the states than I first thought. You can order it from Lowes in the US if they don't have it on the shelf. Spider - Still unidentified, haven't worked up the courage to look it up in the spider directory, too many spiders.

that moment when you stopped, looked at the cockroach, then continued, was an entire thesis of a mood

Noticed other terrain makers in the comments, good to see everyone picks up stuff from others.

You have changed my scenery making life! that PVC board is amazing. After watching this video I went to the local big warehouse and found some - not only is it as easy to cut as you say, but I can now make some decent fields with fences that I couldn't make before using MDF or other items.

Awesome work.. really feeling the aesthetics on this.. and so true about taking notes... it can be as simple as a piece of paper but save you tons of head space down the road!

Hey man, thank you so much for this video, really well documented and presented. I have checked out some of your other terrain builds and your awesome. legend man keep on making more terrain vids!!

Such a fantastic video. I like the bright colors you used for like a red desert look

This is just solid. I love seeing some base material for terrain that can be expanded on to your skill level. Love seeing you back!!!

+1 for the contact cement. I also use that for a lot of things, especially in areas where air drying glue won't be getting any air

You're the Bob Ross of miniature wargaming hobbies

Why didn't you just cover the entire surface of every terrain piece in your signature miscast terrain sand?

Those textures are awesome! Time to get practicing.

Fantastic video. Great editing and closeup shots. I also appreciated u including the mistakes and your tips as u went along. I subscribed :)

The terrain looks very good. The presentation was well done as well.

Well my understudy of table top terrain crafting starts today. And I'm loving your teachings brother! Happy New Year 2020! I look forward to learning all I can from you and other amazing talented Craft Artist. ^_^ Aloha!

I always love these videos. Great work, as always!

Super well shot and great information. Will be checking our more of your content. Keep it up!!!

I love the colors, really a great video of how to make some cool Mars desert hill's. Many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work ;-))

I must mention, some hobby stores that sell model trains have molds for hills and such along with trees and other small terrain. Great if you need some small bits like little bushes or trees.

2:34 Looks like some kind of pseudoscorpion, perhaps of the family neobisiidae, but the footage is not clear for proper identification. Nice video.
