I would recommend a sketch pad to draw out your ideas before you actually start cutting material.
That way you'll get a good idea of what the finished product might look like.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

yeah I often do, well actually often I over think everything and can visualise it in my head but both are good!

[@melissarenladyoflight1599]

Love your video. Help me a lot and I can do things cheap and easy to and still get a really great look of terrain. Thank you so much 👍❤️😊🙏👌😀💯

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

My pleasure, thanks :)

[@paintandplayminis328]

Awesome man! It's all these beginner videos that got me into making terrain in the first place!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, i figure if my channel was aiming at the more starting side of stuff, then I migth as well have something as a basic primer for stuff.

[@CampaignTerrain]

Good stuff, Jay. In addition to seconding John Schweiger's sketchpad suggestion, I would also suggest a blade sharpener, to help keep the price down. Great video

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I keep meaning to buy one myself. Thanks

[@CampaignTerrain]

Collect suggestions; maybe do a "Part 2" vid

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@CampaignTerrain Maybe :)

[@mikibabic8187]

It's summer, very hot here these days, and honestly I just couldbn't be bothered to make anything recently. But seeing your videos I get enthusiastic all over again and now I can't wait to start doing a project. Thanks Jay!
edit: Oh and I forgot to mention, regarding what I asked you about EPVC. The stuff I ordered was correct, I got paper cuts to prove it :) For people from this area the brand name seems to be Forex boards and they cost about 4 USD for a square meter if you plan to order.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

ooo nice, and thanks, happy to help encourage :)

[@stillunsure7630]

Great video mate,
Very handy to see more options to try out.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, I just wanted to have something for new people to at least get an idea of what is what :)

[@johnkelley9877]

You give lots of great advice. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

My pleasure, thank you :)

[@BrushQuill]

Very interesting look at what you need and what you can create from simple items.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

That's the thing, you can build one thing several different common ways so I didn't want to get into everything, I don't think I could!

[@GazghoulThraka471]

Love this channel ❤ been making terrian

[@Raidwall]

First Wyloch and now this! 🙏🙏

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I think I prefer Wyloch's "I'm going to run through a profject" method but thank you :)

[@xCriticalStrikex]

Going to have to watch out for that wurr and turr!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

I can't believe you would shame my increibly incomprehendable English! hehe I jest :)

[@irish_gunpla4064]

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thank you, will do :)

[@ftangftang4909]

Thanks for the EPVC tip I'll a go cheers. Take care

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, hope you can find it, I really like it.

[@johnschweiger1079]

Have you ever done a video where you make model walls out of daz clay

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

No I haven't, and I feel like that would be more expensive than using something like card / foamboard and then scultping on with das.

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Great stuff - always good to have a guide for the folks just jumping in. As to measurements - there is one system for nations who have been to the moon, and one for everyone else ;-D I kid, I actually do use metric for crafting because I hate fractions. Sometimes I throw in some standard measures at the same time, though, so I can pretend to be a Canadian. ;-) Cheers!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

thanks, I don't mind inches, I just hate the fractions, just feels awkward. In the UK we often use both.

[@lucioauhad9619]

Hi! Greetings from Argentina. Is there a recommended method once a cardboard base is warped to recover it?

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

The video linked is good but basically, do the same on the other side and warp it back :)

[@lucioauhad9619]

@@TerrainMadeEasy a force fight!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@lucioauhad9619 indeed :)

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

Metric shmetric 😂😂 1 inch = 25mil easy peasy

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Heh I don't mind inches really, I just find metric easier than like 1 /16 of an inch etc

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

@@TerrainMadeEasy I agree with you there! (Here's a secret tho. I craft in metric, don't tell anyone)

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@DungeonMasterpiece It is only sensible :)

[@starholedesigns]

Is your favorite plastic sheet corrogated? They use corrogated plastic signs for political campaigns here in the US that I "collect" after every election

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

No, but I don't mind that stuff, I call that "fluted" plastic but it can be useful :)
