  • In this video I'll show how to create an awesome concrete texture for your 3D prints and terrain. These pieces are for the giant Trench Crusade modular terrain game board I am creating and I wanted some concrete to break up the mud. This process is extremely easy to follow and can be achieved in just minutes to amazing results. You don't even have to sand your 3D print these textures are applied to prints right off of the bed. These pieces are for my full scale gaint Trench Crusade game board but they can be used on a varitey of different projects. Make sure to always take proper safety when crafting by wearing gloves and a respirator.

    That's looking so good! Definitely will have to try out the technique out 👍 Seems perfect for hiding layer lines without using techniques and products that melt somehow the surface. Seems to keep the sharpness of the pieces and details very well :)

    • @SKSHobbyWorkshop
      @SKSHobbyWorkshop  25 днів тому

      Thanks! And yeah as long as you don’t over saturate the area with additional grout the details come through pretty good. I’m going to be working on your cross this week as well and adding some additional details to it 👍

    • @DiceverseMinis
      @DiceverseMinis 25 днів тому

      @SKSHobbyWorkshop Yeah the ruin piece with more details looked really nice! Sometimes with 3d printed terrain it can show a bit with the layers and so on, but this texturing hides it nicely and also helps to speed up the process of terrain making quite a bit as it gets painted at the same time. :)
      Ooh yay! Cannot wait! That was actually my idea, that it also works great as a base and I've been waiting to see people add some pipes/cabling/antennas or similar to it. Didn't originally sculpt them in, as shapes kike that can look a bit off when printed on small scale.

      @SKSHobbyWorkshop  24 дні тому

      That's what I'm doing to mine once all of the concrete pieces are complete to give it some additional color. Like I mentioned in the video at this point the grout mix will still accept liquids so I'm going to add some ink and acrylic washes 👍

      Because it has no additives or chemicals that might mess with any of the products I’m applying. And our water in the Midwest is hard lots of minerals. Distilled water is cheap and I always use it when painting minis too because it’s better for brush bristles

    I feel like this would work with a spackle (what we call filler in the UK) and PVA mix? I’ve done that on MDF terrain and I reckon it’ll work on 3D prints if it’s primed first like you say?

    • @SKSHobbyWorkshop
      @SKSHobbyWorkshop  25 днів тому

      @@mjhsinclair maybe, most spackle I’ve tried, at least here in the US, has no grit to it and is prone to shrinkage depending on application. But if you added the fine sand and added it in several light coats on top of the etching primer it might work.

      I guess you could if you wanted to, but it’s pretty durable as is. Also you want to watch sealers because they can change the color of the finished piece by darkening the material.
