  • Well it's been a hot minute! but with the Kickstarter fulfillment wrapped up I can finally get back to making some videos. This video takes a deep dive into creating a ruined gatehouse. Join me as I reuse failed prints and test out the new openable doors featured as part of Slice & Slot.
    If you want to check out Slice & Slot for yourself you can grab the files over on MyMiniFactory

      It is a shame but if you have a hot wire cutter you can always cut it down. I am seriously considering going back and adapting the system for 1/2 inch foam given how much of my audience is US based

    I started this video thinking I was watching Real Terrain Hobbies or Black Magic Crafts. This is some high quality content on such a small channel! Keep making content like this, and you'll be 100k subs and beyond in no time.
    In order to glue foam and resin/PLA printed parts, I've found it best to cover the foam in a watered down Tamiya or AK putty. It not only allows more glues to be used, but stops paints and oils from soaking into the foam as much also. You can crumble the bricks easier after the putty has dried to add a nice aged look. Finally it also adds a nice bit of texture, but is also able to take texture if you wanted to the aluminum ball or brush, depending on your desired effect.

    • @microforgeminis
      @microforgeminis  6 місяців тому

      First of all I’m not sure how this comment slipped under the radar but thank you for the kind words. Real terrain hobbies and BMC are big inspirations of mine so that really does mean a lot.
      I will definitely pick up some AK putty and give it a shot. If it behaves how you describe it, then it might be really interesting to try.
