I have been watching your videos over the last few days whilst I hobby and gotta say this has probably been my favourite terrain channel yet, I had to sign up on the patreon because of this.
I've also found that staining the wood works well, as a substitute for paint. Keeps from obscuring all that lovely wood grain, too. If folks out there have cans of wood stain lying around, it can save money on paint. (You'll probably need gloves and ventilation, though).
Yeah that’s a good shout. I actually had a go doing that with some left over stain but then realised it was gloss! 🤦♂️😆 Shiny planks kinda ruins the look! It was also a pain trying to stop them from sticking to everything while drying.
So cool man. I’m a beer and whiskey man while I hobby and while cutting some insulation foam I sliced the skin off my knuckle. The good thing is I was too numb from alcohol to notice. It wasn’t until I saw the splashes of blood on the foam that I realised something was amiss.
This looks fantastic. the biggest issue i've had with these gangplanks connecting terrain pieces when i've made them is that minis can easily fall off if they aren't anchored. my solution might be hiding some magnets in the bigger pieces and painting some metal on the ends of each connecting bridge so they have a strong enough pull, but not so strong as you can't seperate them.
Yeah that's a good shout. When I first started making this I had the mental idea of magnetising all the platforms so that I could remove them in game for the special rule of them collapsing. The connecting bridges are the weakest link though for sure. I'm thinking about glueing little bits of wire to the ends of them which can be bent to hold onto the terrain pieces. We shall see how well that works out!
And so how is the divorce coming along since the storage solution? 😂😂 This was such a great video. Really enjoying your work and others in the MESBG community
What a lot of work but in the end there will be an awesome gaming board. I'd be interested in a battle report especially to see how a battle can be played on these several floors. A little tip for future wood planks: Using a wire brush on the planks is adding a lot more charakter on the wood, especially with drybrushing.
The good thing with this is that all those wood chips with a bit of wax can be turned into fire starters that can be gifted to a family member or friend who's into outdoor survival or camping.
Beautiful work and thanks for the tutorial. Could you use an orbital sander, dremel etc on the wood planks to speed up the process? Then throw them in the coffee can with rocks and shake to taste for more weathering?
You absolute madman! I hope you had some Netflix on or something while you carved all those sticks. The board is looking AWESOME! We need to see some sort of battle report on that!
Those look awesome! I love a chaotic scaffolding sprawl. So many little paths to wonder where does that one go? Those will make a great goblin town and perhaps an Isengard cavern too.
Amazing scratch built gaming board love the way you connected all of this together for game play it's mega. When will you have your first battle using this board as it will be a wonder to see all the models fighting it out across the entire structure well done mate a true work of art.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I’ve one more big addition and then I hope to get some narrative games on it. I’ve been painting up goblins on the side so they’ll be ready to go!
I've been building a goblin lair for about 2 weeks now and..... well, compared to yours, it doesn't even look like I've started yet. Tremendous amount of work done brother. Great job
Great tips buddy, really love how it’s turning out! Some battle reports would be awesome…I mean, otherwise it would be like keeping a Ferrari in the garage all the time. Take that goblin town out for a ride dude 🤝
Haha no doubt 😂 if you do level up to boshing out Ferraris then I’m getting my dibs in now 😂 honestly though, I’d rather look at your creations mate…although not as good for getting to the shops 😉 keep crafting brother 🤝
I know New Zealand is pretty dang long (based on accent, I'm assuming that's where you live) But it would be pretty sick if you and Zorpazorp did a battle report or 3 on your guys various epic boards.
Great terrain !! Subscribed !
Thanks!
Magnificent! And yes, would love to see some battle reports on this beast of a board!
Thanks mate!

Wow, thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the content and will see you on discord! 😁
This reminded me a lot of "the gutter" map in Dark Souls 2! Superb build :)
Glad you like it!

Ah yes the sacrifices we make for our craft 😅
You know what. Im going to build a skaven burrow with this. Thank you.
Cool! Yeah they'd be perfect for that, good luck! 😁
This is beautiful! I have wanted to make something like this for a long time!
Thanks so much 😁
A testament to what can be achieved with patience, skill and a funny accent.
Thanks mate! I only put that accent on for you Alex 😘
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes I knew it!!
Love the subtle trolling of Harry Parkhill in the background of some of these time lapses 😂
Hahaha yes you noticed! Had to include some of those glorious Harry memes! 🤣
“What we’re you doing during the last Great Meme War, Adam?”
@@rosstasker8590 actually making a couple of them haha!
Please sir….can I have that…lol
Please sir….can I have that…lol
That looked very chilled to do, and the results are fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Yay, another awesome episode! Thanks, brother
Glad you enjoyed it mate! 😁
When can we expect the 3D Games Goblin Town shed Kickstarter to launch?
Haha yeah I may just have to look into something like that one of these days! 😅

Your mental cutting those sticks up individually. Dedication was worth it tho defos need to see a game on that
Yes, yes I am! I think that I have to film a bat rep on it at this stage, question is when I get round to it 🤷♂️
Genuinely fantastic looking
Thank you very much Mark! 😁
And so how is the divorce coming along since the storage solution? 😂😂
This was such a great video. Really enjoying your work and others in the MESBG community
Hahaha yeah she'll get over it when the youtube money starts rolling in! 🤣 Might be a while 😬 Glad you're enjoying it mate 😊

Thanks man. Yeah I just couldn’t face roughing up that many planks! 😅
Amazing work Adam! That is going to be one beautiful board!
Thank you very much Robert! 😊
6:05 is the most satisfying edit I’ve seen in a LONNGGG time. Great work Adam!
Thanks Mark! If only it was that quick for real haha 😅
That's cool
(You should hold the piece down wind when you're spraying it)
Haha yeah my wife gave me grief about that shot haha
Yass!!! I'm doing mordheim terrain now, thanks for the tips!
Niiiice! Perfect transition! Glad you like mate! 😁
The good thing with this is that all those wood chips with a bit of wax can be turned into fire starters that can be gifted to a family member or friend who's into outdoor survival or camping.
Funny you should say that, I actually considered adding something like that into the video! 😆
Incredible work as always. Looking forward to watching a Battle report at this beautiful table.
Thanks so much! I will see what I can do 😁
This is awesome! Your videos are fantastic and have helped me with some of my own projects in the past.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching Kevin 😁
Beautiful work and thanks for the tutorial. Could you use an orbital sander, dremel etc on the wood planks to speed up the process? Then throw them in the coffee can with rocks and shake to taste for more weathering?
I don't see why not. Apart from cutting myself a couple of times I actually don't mind doing it by hand. It can be a relaxing and meditative process 😉
I like the two camera shots 👍. Of course the rest of the video is as awesome as always!
Thanks buddy! 😁
Loving this incredible build!!!
Glad you’re enjoying it 😊
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes most definitely!!!
Love to see some bat reps. Would be sweet if there was an awesome app out there you could make use of to share the heroes' stats too
Hahaha yeah if only! I was just using the amazing MESBG tracker app while having a game yesterday. It’s so good mate!
Nice building, thx for sharing ;)
Thank you for watching! 😁
You absolute madman! I hope you had some Netflix on or something while you carved all those sticks.
The board is looking AWESOME! We need to see some sort of battle report on that!
You wait till you see the next one haha! Thanks man, I hope to get a report done on it in the near future 😁
nothing like making terrain from pop sticks
Pop sticks are life! 😁
Those look awesome! I love a chaotic scaffolding sprawl. So many little paths to wonder where does that one go? Those will make a great goblin town and perhaps an Isengard cavern too.
Thanks buddy! Could potentially go down the Warhammer Old World route with Skaven warrens too. Glad you like it! 😁
Hahaha, great video ending. Dude this goblin town is fire! Can't wait to see it finished, and yes battle reports on that beast would be very welcome.
Glad you enjoyed! I’m working on it Brad 😁
Looks great. Can be used for Skaven terrain as well.
Thanks dude! 😁
Great tips and an awesome build!
Thanks mate!
Awesome looking build!!!
Glad you think so!

Bloody good stuff
Thank you kindly 😊
Awesome work. Bravo.
Glad you like it 😊
Amazing build 🎉
Thank you! 😁
That is an awesome set! It reminds me of The Gutter from Dark Souls 2. Great work!
Thanks man! Hahaha I've actually heard that before, never played it myself. Thanks for watching 😁
Great project!
Glad you like it! 😁
I'd love to see a battle report, played on this terrain. So many people will be falling to their doom.
Haha yeah man it’ll happen for sure!
Another awesome video man!!! Love how this is coming together and would love to see some battle reports on it. Can't wait for the next vid!!
Thank you kindly Kenny!
Amazing job as always! Cant wait to see some plays on this bad boy 💪 and nice to see no drum lessons in site 😂
Hahaha thanks mate! Had to throw some love to the little drummer boy 😆
Great tutorial, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Ray! 😁
Looking glorious, as always dude! Really satisfying to see all the individual parts coming together :D
Also, batrep wen?
Thanks buddy! All in good time 😁
Now make a battle report of Moria vs Goblintown!
With a metal balrog haha! I’ll most likely do a narrative scenario with Thorin’s co escaping the goblins to start with
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes I guess that makes SENSE…
@rosstasker8590 I have my moments haha 😝
As an ork player this is a must see and you got another subscriber from the safety warning
Haha nice! Thanks for watching and for the sub 😁
I've been building a goblin lair for about 2 weeks now and..... well, compared to yours, it doesn't even look like I've started yet. Tremendous amount of work done brother. Great job
You can do it! Thanks for watching dude! 😊
Great job
Thanks buddy 😁
Highschool teacher and have a young family just as myself, I'll let my wife know it's possible to have a goblin town sitting in the livingroom hahah
Hahaha what could go wrong?!
Holy smokes this is epic!
Thanks buddy! 😁
Great tips buddy, really love how it’s turning out! Some battle reports would be awesome…I mean, otherwise it would be like keeping a Ferrari in the garage all the time. Take that goblin town out for a ride dude 🤝
Haha yeah nice analogy. Wish it was worth as much and as popular then I’d probably sell it! After playing a few games on it though of course!
Haha no doubt 😂 if you do level up to boshing out Ferraris then I’m getting my dibs in now 😂 honestly though, I’d rather look at your creations mate…although not as good for getting to the shops 😉 keep crafting brother 🤝
@StuartHarvey-rh3sl thanks man! 😊
She indoors did not sound pleased lol :)
Haha she's pretty damn supportive actually! 😊
Awesome, man what a board, cant wait for the battle reports on it.
What board will you do next?
Its not quite finished yet! Sooooo close! Well I have quite a few different ideas rattling around in my head 😆
I know New Zealand is pretty dang long (based on accent, I'm assuming that's where you live) But it would be pretty sick if you and Zorpazorp did a battle report or 3 on your guys various epic boards.
Hahaha yes you guessed correctly! Unfortunately we live on different islands but I'm sure eventually we'll be able to make something like that work 😉
where do you find bark like that? Looking great!
It’s pine bark. I’m lucky enough to live close to a lot of pine forestry 😁
Cool as always 👍
Thanks mate! 😁
Nice!
Thanks 😁
Awesome vid!! And I do genuinely thank you for the warning cause I am squeamish lol 😅
Hahaha you're welcome mate and thanks for watching!
YESSS LESHGO BRO
Haha yeah man!!! Hope you like it! 😁
why priming against the wind 🤣 1:16
I just love the feel of primer blowing through my hair… oh wait! 😆
niceeee!@@dicedrinksanddadjokes
Went to write a witty comment asking about storage and transport, just as the last clip played...
Mind reader
Hahahaha that’s amazing! 🧙♂️
Good hobbying, or good hobbit-ing? 😅
"Good hobbitting everyone!"
