To make the bubble placement look a little less deliberate, allow a few of them to touch one another. Bubbles tend to group up. You'd be surprised how much more natural it looks.
This is solid advice.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Actually, it is LIQUID advice
I thought this exact thing as I watched you working with the bubble placement...bubbles are caused (in part, at least) by surface tension, and they do group up and stick together unless the liquid is very sludgy.
Yepp, I thought that too, OCD is hard to control when your being creative.
@@mszoomy I'm sorry, but you must mean CDO. Your letters are not in the right order ;-)
When making jams and chutneys, I found that the bubbles may not group and appear at random spots. This looks like a thick slime like liquid to me so I am completely happy with the effect.
"...kill some time while on a "bathroom break" at work."
I feel attacked. 😅
I wondered if Jeremy was stalking me! LOL
I was going to comment on that. LOL. He's such a realist.
@@ScotWithOnet It was incredible xD I was literally killing time at work watching it.
tip from the cosplay community: instead of those expensive glass beads use googley eyes. They are cheap, adheasive backed, come in all shapes and sizes, half domes to add to your piece and once panted no-one can tell. we mostly use them to fake rivets but they can be applied for anything
But I have thousands of these things!.....not really that expensive, lifetime supply was like $10. Terrain builders gonna take a lifetime to use up what a cosplayer might use in an hour on a build....now, that being said, googly eye bubbles, left unpainted would be pretty hilarious.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial i agree the googly eyes can also used IF you can't find the beads locally.overall love the result of today work.👍
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial maybe make a vat full of Yog-Sothoth with the googly eyes 😂
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial you should have used mentos for this build for bubbles, that would have made sence
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial souls trapped in the liquid
I started an idea like this a number of years ago. Then had to move so it was packed away in a box. Life, marriage etc. And it's still in the box. You, sir, have inspired me to re-open that box and complete my project.
Thank you for your videos and warts n all working through projects.
Boss makes a dollar, while I make a dime, that's why I watch BMC on company time.
The boss should make a dollar. All the responsibility and risk lies with them and them alone.
Stick it to the man by making quality terrain using cheap materials!!
What a delightful rhyme
@@williamwinder3466 Not if they incorporate then it's all on the company they risk nothing.
@@williamwinder3466 actually, not true! responsibility is transferred onto the wage worker through contract and job insecurity. if the company screws up, the workers get laid off so corporate saves most of the money they would have lost by not paying their wage. and as for risk, it depends on the job. but, most of the time, monetary risks are minimized due to the fact that, well, the boss makes a dollar and we make a dime. and if we're talking physical risk, that's all the laborer, baby.
I find when using plastic packaging in my models, sanding the materials to get a rough surface helps super glue adhere better.
Ye I sanded down some medicine bottles to get plastic cement to bond them to sheet styrene. You usually just have to get rid of the top surface layer that's been sealed. Also be careful of toxic substances that could be released by cutting/sanding plastics.
I know that Brent of Goobertown Hobbies has 2 videos about glues. The one covers how CA glue, aka Super Glue works and the other one covers how Plastic Glue works. Plus being as Brent has a degree in chemistry so he kind of knows his stuff.
Making miniatures from trash you say? Well now you have my interest.
Unfortunately no Good Will by the pound finds in here
If you want cool miniatures made from accessible materials go check Bards Craft on UA-cam. You get great humour as a bonus ❤️
As always with your stuff, a fun idea to catch come into being. Thanks much!
I also wanted to add that my 9-y.o. daughter (been in her first campaign for six months now) *LOVES* watching these with me, especially when you comment about making mistakes and still being cool with it. It's helped her calm her project-perfection-anxiety tremendously. I don't know that you ever thought you might be doubling up as an art therapist, but it's great stuff to hear!
That is a great build, that will fit nicely into my steampunk terrain. I gonna build my own. ;-)
Makers are just hoarders with purpose 😂
I resent the word 'hoarder'😉 We are pack rats. We use what we keep ...eventually.😎
@@lwriker1304 I started to embrace it 😬 My wife doesnt even notice my boxes full of -stuff- anymore 😅
truth, guilty...
I circumvent that by just giving my builds away lol.
@@thejonathan130 I'll take a few, lol.
I like that we already know the final result, and you start the video like "I have this, and I think it looks pretty cool. I might make a lava thingy, or a whatever, I don't have something specific in mind" and I feel like in the movies when the viewer has all the information but not the characters. Like a horror movie "don't open the door!" or Dora the explorer 🤣
Or like a Columbo episode! - Holy bleep, I'm old...
Just a little tip: when I use that plastic mesh for fences I always use hot glue for fixing: the trik is to use those paper strips on the OUTSIDE, covering the hot glue mess. Great idea, superb video!Thanks for sharing! ps: definitely bathroom break at work lol
do you have a link for the mesh and that please? (uk) and the ladder bit please
Have a look at a channel called Nightshift. He has a great tutorial on rolled steel armour texture. He does this on styrene model, but i think it could work here. It is basically tapping some tamiya putty, or thick primer on the surface with a brush, creating a rough texture and then sanding it down so it creates flat surface with lots of tiny divets, holes and spots. It might crack on softer surface like xps with paper... But worth the shot
Nightshift is an awesome channel, despite being a scale armor modeler he showcases many techniques that are definately applicable to our hobby. Plus he is rather entertaining to listen.
As to his rolled steel technique, i am not sure it would work so well on foam core. He adds quite a bit of solvent cement to his putty and might ruin the foam if the card 'skin' soaks thru. I wonder about adhesion as well.
I have some foam core somewhere, i'll test it out
The video is 0-kqLtRGhUQ and the name of the channel is Night Shift. OP is right, it's a great tutorial.
Peanut Butter Jars make great Oil holding tanks, in case ya need an idea for something else.
Always really love how you describe your thought process while building. 👍🏻
yep ... i so agree
"Channel you inner Wyloch" One titan of mini terrain complementing another. I love it.
JUST WANNA SAY....I love the background music you use in your videos.
40k Players: "I need something to really tie together the terrain for my Nurgle Corrupted Factory Cathedral..."
Jeremy: "Hold my coffee."
You know, it might work better if you used multiple levels ascending around the vat, perhaps just halve the size of the current one and use the other half attached about halfway between them. Or halve the lower of those and instead of a blocked end, have a step down on either side of the highest part to make it more of a set piece in a fight where you could put the boss up top with guards on either side along with workers scattered below to delay the party as their work continues to a crescendo, perhaps something rising from the vat if they go on to long that the party would then need to fight.
Hell, make the stuff really nasty and the guys up top can grab and lob samples of it that function as something similar to the alchemists fire, perhaps dealing poison and/or acid damage and sticks to the skin.
You should do that!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Need to find a good option for the vat...can't really chew gum without some risks due to jaw issues, so just need to find something interesting for one.
"..channel your inner Wyloch.." LOL
Good stuff! Hey, I use them for shakers. Terrain gravel and the sort works well if you drill out the lid.
Nice work! I love it when I see crafters recycling old items and "trash".
Does anyone else like the video before it even loads cause you just know it’s going to be good? Of course as always it was
What I did is I sanded my whole piece of granny grating with 120 grit sand paper then primed it with a can of citadel white primer. I've had no issue super gluing any of it.
Edit: Overall I think the issue with gluing plastic to plastic is that a lot of plastic is too smooth and not porous enough.
Yea, I primed before assembly on a previous build video, and it certainly helps. In this case (and many others) I was just too impatient to start building to actually do that step. Would advice though. It's a good tip.
The uneven liquid surface makes it look like it's actively simmering... or maybe writhing?
Have you ever experimented with apoxy sculpt?!? Its amazing and I would LOVE to see you make something with it.
If the granny grating can be scuffed by rough sand paper it will likely make superglue work a lot better for attaching it to stuff, it might also make paint stick better due to the increased surface area.
Unfortunately sanding doesn't do much for this particular type of plastic (it helps a little bit). Priming with a high adhesion primer before gluing is the best approach if you have the time to spare.
It looks like a thing where an Artificer started to dabble in brewing as aside hobby. Lovely craft.
Water effect does that. I tried layering it and it just keep sticking to the base. It really just make a thin layer. Resin, it is not.
I wanna know more about those minis oozing blood, watching you paint those would be fun.
I love your videos, but whenever you use a plastic bendy straw to simulate I pipe, I cringe. No matter how much work you do with it, it still looks like a plastic bendy straw.
There are better ways to do pipe bends. 1) Consider just getting some stiff copper wire that just fits into small flexible plastic tubing. Insert wire. Bend to shape around an appropriately curved object. Glue and paint. 2) Or see if parts made for model railroading and architectural modeling might work. You can buy small plastic rods/pipes and elbows to match. Glue and assemble. Check out the Plastruct catalog (page 34 of the one online) for an idea of what is out there.
Bonus: They have ladders, windows, and doors in lots of scales. (Model Railroad "O" scale is 1:48 and is likely "close enough" to typical RPG miniatures scale of 25mm [1:64] to 30mm [1:54].)
I create scenic dioramas. I'm not a gamer and I don't need cauldrons of ooze, but I wanted you to know I've watched a lot of your videos and learn a ton from your style, talent and techniques. Thank you!
Awsome video
That looks amazing. I'm excited to make something like this for my diesel punk campaign. 👍
Kickass terrain 👍👍the green goo looks amazing like a mini would just slowly sink to the bottom as it's dissolving into a bloody goo. 🤯
Quick note there is a spray can hammered metal paint by Testors. Just seal your foam as normal first. 😁
"I finished this pack of Mentos gum, and I realized it had a pretty neat shape..." Don't you purchase everything because of the shape of its packaging?
The guardrail is really cool, and I like the idea of filling the container with sand for weight.
The finished piece is very cool; especially with the OSL effect on the Teifling.
Great build Jeremy. Fun little piece. And I’m with you, the liquid gold would have been cool but the toxic waste seems to add a bit more to the overall look.
Thanks for this tip. 17:40 Water effects can be made from Vallejo water texture, Liquitex Gel Medium, Gloss Mod Podge.
gloss mod podge is my game... but hellll, it stinks like dead plastik!
Those gum containers would make good distilleries for a backwater moonshiner. Or maybe an alchemist that's collecting his waste product for his illict drug empire.
It came very close to being made into some sort of dwarven ale distillery!
Love the varied granny grating pattern, that's a cool idea for more of an 'artsy' or in this case 'arcane' railing!
* Y E S * on that grating delete method. Addition by subtraction, so much possibility....
I'm getting ready to test some commercial Gesso on the grating, and if that works I will also see how my homemade Gesso does with the Grandmothers Grating of Repulsion. Will report the results back in a few hours when it dries. Has anybody used kitchen degreaser, Super 77 or a layer of spray varnish on the Grating? If so, would you tell us how it went?
My reply to this initial post keeps appearing/disappearing, so I apologize if it shows up again and I appear to be repeating myself. Here are the final results:
- Commercial Gesso sticks to the grating fairly well, but really needs a LONG dry time. I'm talking 4-6 hours, not 30 minutes. It will flake off if it is rubbed hard enough.
- Homemade Stuff (Plaster of Paris, PVA, Black Paint and water,) flakes away pretty fast.
- Kitchen Degreaser did nothing, as far as I could tell. Whatever keeps paint from sticking to the grating is not a coating, it is something about the plastic itself.
- Spray varnish works pretty well. Not as well as primer, but pretty good. Some minor difficulties with PVA/CA gluing, but seems to paint fine.
-BMC was correct: Spray primer is the way to go Paints well, and glues well. Not sure about durability, but it certainly seems to work.
A final note: You can buy this stuff in a LOT of colors if you search for either Cross-Stitch Mesh or Plastic Canvas on Amazon. If you are having trouble getting this stuff to take paint, you might be able to buy it in the color you want if you do some searching. (Thank you MarkFerguson for telling me about the other name.)
Forbidden soup
Bubble, boil, toil, and the freshmaker!
A neat trick for cleaning up your hot glue and help it wrap around materials it doesn't like sticking to, use a glass jar or botte that has been left in the freezer for a while and use it while the hot glue is cooling to flatten and harden it at the same time.
Amazing! Great job!
Perhaps having added some LEDs in the Sculpt-a-mold and under the water effects would have added a Glowing effect to it!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Adding the grit to the cat walk reminded me of when I did a project with large fiber glass panels(made to be used as cat walks) with added grit on top for wet environments in factories.
The dragon in the DM screen is like:
.-. help
Are we all gonna ignore the fact that the cat walk was black with green (his color scheme)
Hey man I'm not a huge social media guy so I don't think I've ever taken the time to tell ya how much I appreciate your work. I've been a big fan for quite a while and you have inspired me to get into one of my most favorite hobbies of all time. I wish I could show more appreciation but raising my 3 youngins and working construction I live on a tight budget. Your amazing man! Keep doing what your doing! Thanks a ton!
Hey Jeremy, nice build. I use the Vallejo Water Texture quite a bit, and it definitely shrinks down BIG time once it cures.
Awesome tip sir! And as a bonus, all doomed players that succumb to this arcane container come out smelling 'minty fresh'!!
You always have good music in your vids!
The thing it gave me that you didn't mention: inspiration for a new encounter. Rock on J - as always - amazing.
Oh my god that textured rolling pin looks amazing I need on immediately!!!!!
so cool, I think I'm going to make one for 40k!
"bathroom break"
7:40 Me out loud: "Why don't you just use sand for the whole thing up?"
7:50 Me again: "Thank you for making me feel like talking at the screen works."
Cladding idea - the last time I wandered through a local warehouse hardware store I found some narrow copper tape, they may have had some aluminium take as well. Would that reduce a step (no painting)?
Bubbly liquid surfaces - www.liquitex.com/row/products/professional/gessoes-mediums-varnishes/glass-beads/ . They had some products with larger beads but I haven't seen any for a few years.
Does the plastic for the hair curlers bend well with hot water, so you can fit it to your project more snuggly?
You could always use this for kill team
Nice to see that I'm not the only one who uses a GM screen upside down! XD
That green ink is a awesome color
I could see the superglue/accelerant method being used for a marble/stone floor effect where using foam wouldn't be as practical. I love make-it-up-as-you-go style builds. Lots of room to experiment and get results you wouldn't expect. I usually do a good job ignoring the "impulse buys" at store checkouts. But now I'll be looking at the random snack containers to see what kind of terrain I could make.
A trick that helps me when working with straws (especially the bendy ones because sometimes the bend won't behave exactly how you want it) is to stick pipe cleaner inside the straw. It makes them a little more rigid and the wire core helps to hold the bend in place. Then cap it off with hot glue.
I'll have to remember to rewatch this on my 20 minute bathroom break at work.
Awesome Build! I know some Mutants that would love to take a bath in it!
Excellent use of craft materials.... of course, this IS Black Magic CRAFT. Awesome vid. Thanks!!
Brother, you're just like me. I see what could be trash or an object, and I see potential for creating!
IF I had your craftsmanship and your capabilities, The only thing I would add, is that I would try to smothen the ridges of the straws, as it is very unusual to find industrial pipes with curves that have ridges. They tend to keep residue between them and they clogg. But I DON'T have your craftsmanship, so THUMBS UP as it is.
On second thought... I would also get rid of those figurines. They have nothing to do with a steampunk - post apocalyptic - industrial theme. Just my opinion. Keep up
Nice project that communicates that post-apocalyptic/SF horror FPS vibe well.
* If you want something like texture paste but without the texture, you could try using that acrylic gel medium. It has a working time that is long enough to do things with it and its viscosity is high enough to hold sculpting fairly well. Plus it's compatible with any acrylic paint. The corrugated paper worked well here, though.
* To make random arrangements look right (something I have to do at times in product photography), the best method is often to just toss the things onto a table and then slightly arrange them. Real randomness looks random ... somehow. 8-)
* To make floppy plastics more rigid, you can try leaching out some of the plasticizer with isopropyl alcohol. Works well with bendy PVC, though I have no idea whether it would work with whatever that ladder is made of.
This build really reminded of the Vrokstag and Grine's Chymic Works encounter from Pathfinder's Carrion Crown part 2 "Trial of the Beast." These vats would fit in perfectly while the player's balance between the vats and the monsters try to push them in! What a cool build.
Here is a link to the map from the Chymic Works. shorturl.at/drsQ0
Good for your future table games
You have no idea how much I admire and want to pursue a hobby in creating terrain, miniatures and painting. But when it comes to making terrain I feel so bogged down with how much tools cost here in Australia, not to mention that buying XPS foam here is like next to impossible to get reliably or regularly. I mean for a 1inch thick 1200mm X 600mm piece of XPS from a local supplier costs almost $30AUD, never mind even finding foam core with a peel off top layer. But I want to keep saving up and slowly build my collection of tools and supplies and honestly attempt every one of your tutorial videos and integrate it with my own DM’ing. You are a real inspiration to all us small timers who want to build some cool and neat stuff for our friends and players and the quality of all your videos is simply top notch.
Thank you so much for all the work you have put into the community and for inspiring the hundreds, if not thousands or more people who have started their hobbying journey because of you and other youtubers. But you, my sir, are hands down without a doubt my favourite of all of them. (Don’t tell anyone I religiously watch your videos and even listen to the audio to and from work)
Keep up the amazing work!
Much love from Australia ❤️
Great videos! Too bad none of them are hex but I can still apply the techniques.
I was wondering though.. how heavy is the average 3D scene with minis?
I'll be using it for Gloomhaven (and perhaps DnD) so not Warhammer amounts of minis.
Dude, that is amazing build. Nowadays I'm also more interested in Warhammer 40K than D&D and was looking for cheap terrain ideas. You are awesome. Thanks.
Looking good dude! It must be a coincidence that I just finished watching a video by Mezgike where he did a Plague Marine with glowing plasma and bubbly ooze effects on the mini. Maybe you'll get some tips off of his video for any future ooze effects? Note of warning, it is a 2 hour video :)
The technique used by Dark Matter Workshop was Acrylic Pouring. IIRC he used 3 parts pva to 1 part water for the pouring medium and then added paint. Layer the paint then pour it out onto your surface.
I don't think it would have worked for what you were doing given the size of the container.
"I finished it, and I realized..." pure bologna. Any good crafter worth his salt is looking at it the whole time thinking about it while trying to eat the gum as quickly as possible. Heck, you probably bought it with this in mind LOL!
I think it was Eric's Hobby Workshop that I saw suggest using paper straws for projects. Glues, and paints adhere infinitely better.
It puts me in mind of a castle defense thing. Imagine pouring buckets of bubbling waste on enemies during a siege.
So, with acrylic inks they interestingly take longer to dry than acrylic paints which is why the wash was just reactivating the ink you'd airbrushed on. You can get around this problem by either giving your ink more time to dry (how long depends on how thin it is, what you used to thin it and of course conditions like relative temperature and humidity of the environment) or if you're impatient (as I often am) you can give them a few minutes to dry and then hit them with a coat of varnish. Also, and this is purely an aesthetic choice on my part, if I were going to make a toxic colored liquid like that I'd go with either Biel Tan Green or Coelia Greenshade; Athonian Camoshade is a more desaturated olive tone that would kill a lot of that vibrant green hue that just screams "This is dangerous and I never want it touching any part of me!".
How have I not found this sooner?!
DIY (Macgyvering) with recyclables is my jam!
i think making the floor for the platform out of corrugated paper just helped it become a more universal item for many different games.
need a toxic vat for a post-apocalyptic or future setting? it'll work.
need a vat of some mutating potion for D&D? still works.
my wife gonna be crazy with your vids... i have a fool stock of material now... greetings from Belgium ;)
Hey I just finished watching this video and it had me thinking. Have you ever experimented with Hammerite Paint? Primarily it’s used for painting on metal tools and is known for its unique texture when it dries that looks like “hammered” metal.
Hey BMC, please make a quick guide about the density of XPS foam :) i bought some online because it is not easy to get in Denmark but it seems like the density is really bad, so its not very smooth and hard to paint. Is there any preferable density to atleast go for? :)
this piece is really genre bending tbh. works great for steampunk, post apocalypse, scifi, and more steampunk-eqsue fantasy. the green goo can be anything from toxic magical waste to some kind of mutagen that player could take a dunk in to get a small bonus (for a price)
Tip for using acrylic inks - anything with water in will reactivate them. to avoid that, either mix them with acrylic medium before application or hit them with a coat of airbrush/spraycan varnish afterwards. That will lock them in.
Great video! But You’re wrong about the vallejo water texture. It is known to shrink when it dries. Thats why its wise to apply it it many thin layers, instead of a thick one =)
I made something similar recently out of a Toxic Waste candy container. It's a vat of unprocessed Corpse Starch
Someone might have suggested this already and I'm to lazy to scroll through comments, but have you tried some sort of adhesion promoter or possibly model glue? Not sure if either would work but it's a thought. Love these videos!
Don't recall if I've seen it on your channel, but another fun thing with super glue is baking soda. Coat one side in baking soda and the other side in super glue and when they touch, instant bond. Similar to your accelerant idea also, you can throw some superglue down, smooth it out a bit, toss some baking soda on it and brush off the excess.
I may have seen it on this channel too, but I know I got it from Tabletop Minions.
for a metallic look, what about using a texture folder for paper on some thin cardstock? you might find something from the papercrafting section of your local micheal's works pretty well.
Wow that rolling pin texture really looks great. Could be future or fantasy. The gold looks amazing!
To make a decent looking casted iron effect, use Tamiya putty thinned down with isopropyl alcohol and stipple it on the area. Putting 2-3 layers, getting thinner with each layer makes a great looking effect.
If you have a shredder that will actually give you strips the width of your foam core, very useful and makes quick floorboards in places that you don’t want to add thickness to.
Ive seen on ebay miniature rescue a couple time the same issue with the ink being "washed" away by contrast paints. Course his was a white zenithal ink. But if using washes or contrasts over an ink just hit it with a clear of varnish and ur good to go. If using the effect on liquids/reflective surfaces use a gloss and sometimes thatll not only help enhance the shiny appearance, but enhances the flow of the wash pushing it into crevices. Course ur probably aware of this, just pointing it out for some other folks who may be newer to the hobby.
Major cool. I am as always impressed.
I have a challenge for you. How would you make a sphinx?
I don't know if it has been brought up before. But instead of that dome circle cutter, I was able to make a bar compass that could hold an exacto knife. I don't think one would be hard to buy or D.I.Y.
my girlfriend says you look like you should " be buff-er" than you are. great vid 10/10.
