I loved how the structure looks from underneath at 11:58. At first I was like "meh it's a platform" but seeing the different ways other terrain could be incorporated on it changed my view. This is fantastic.
Pretty nifty! Looks great top AND bottom! Paper towel tubes are so useful. If you want to make them really strong, roll up some cardboard and shove it inside. Then insert a few bamboo skewers. Paint the ends with elmer's glue and you are done. This works if you are building levels. That way it can really hold some weight if needed.
Great idea! These are actually tubes from Parchment paper rolls. Much more sturdy than paper towel roll, but a great suggestion nonetheless. Thank you!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 Yes those much stronger. Like the ones in aluminum foil rolls. Very tough. Forgot to mention, I really like how you rolled the foam around the tubes. Makes for great detail! The 3d printed I-beams are well done. A 3D printer does speed up the process. I just purchased a laser cutter. Going to use in to cut all my cardstock, mdf and hardboard. I can cut it by hand, but I'm use to designing signs and cutting vinyl. Been in the sign business just over 3 decades. A laser cutter will just speed up my process and make the parts more accurate. Plus it will give my fingers a break from the exacto knife. lol Another fine video. Keep up the good work.
I am jealous! I have considered getting a laser cutter myself for the very same reason. Funnily enough, I used to install vinyl signs years ago. I bet you can make some awesome decals, backdrops, and facades with those skills. Nice!
You might get granny grating to stick to superglue, if you roughen up the surface with sandpaper. Even if it's only the topmost layer, while avoiding the recesses, it might do the trick.

I'm glad I was able to sway you! I know it's simple but has so much potential.

This came out just fine. And yes, rivets are absolutely necessary.
Thank you! What is a dystopian/post apocalyptic/sci-fi thingy without rivets?
Sorted cheers! I have been trying to figure out how to build the inside of the Fortress I built in my latest video. I now know what I am doing!
Awesome! Glad I could help. Was just about to watch that one. Thumbnail looks fantastic!
@@adventuresincrafting2022 Cheers it was hard work but I do have some cool pics. Enjoy.

Thank you for that advice. I have tried it with no success. I have considered using gorilla construction adhesive but haven't tried yet.
