10:19 I also like playing on terrain that has a clitoral hood. lol, great build dude, I really love how gritty yet vibrant this is getting, with so much great texture. i hope we see more sculpting soon!
I've been making a frostgrave table and momentum is absolutely key. Just chipping away at it consistently keeps my mind in the right spot for when I have more time
Your chaotic energy and enthusiasm is really intoxicating! I have been trying to get more and more into building terrain, and your approach and motivation is really keeping me motivated to sketch, imagine and build!
if you get warped bases on terrain, you need to apply glue + a paper sheet to the part. That way the paper pulls with the glue. The Glue itselfe just makes a hard surface that isn't rly pulling. The pulling paper step can be repeated if the first time wasn't enough.
Could the last bit be like an alien forest of weird plants? Like when the aliens arrived they began to terraform a gross and weird jungle in the hive city?
Please make a 3d modeling tutorial because your no nonsense approach with infectious humor is exactly how my adhd ass could finally understand how to work a 3d modeling software
Against warping I found it helps to place the board on a damp cloth, weigh down the corners and leave over night. Or just put a basic frame (small wooden beams) on the underside.
Well now you've inspired me. I'm going to build another table. The first one I made was too small for the games I currently play. I had envisioned using it for Warcaster, but that hasn't panned out. So I'll make a new one at the Standard 4X4 size for Warmachine, and that should work for other games.
My trick to prevent warping of large flat bases. First, design them with a hollow frame underneath. This way if they warp, the center won't affect how the piece sits on the table. In the case of that Warlayer part that you added the epoxy to, what I would have done is built a frame out of cheap yardsticks (check the paint department, wooden yardsticks are great cheap material). Second trick is to clamp the part down to a board or table while it is drying. I throw some wax paper under to protect the board, then I've got dollar store spring clamps that I used to hold the part flat. Parts warp because the paint and glue on top shrinks as it dries. It has to to stick well. So we need a force to counter that to keep the part flat. The board and the clamp do that. I can't help you with heat because I store my stuff in a temperature controlled space and never leave anything hobby related in the car in the summer heat.
It absolutely brightened my morning with the introduction of the the “alien” terrain pieces when you acknowledged what you were doing making it “fleshy”.
My last dio was a gigerish xenomorph hive too, and I also had some warping because of a dyi modeling paste, which I also wanted to correct with resin. Which worked, until the terrain warped further. :D Your terrain looks great by the way, I hope it stayed flat!
your videos, your energy, your creativity, everything in your channel is very inspiring to me in my hobby journey, it embodies what made me fell in love with it, thank you Trent
It's a good birthday for me if Trent is putting out a new video :D First, I can't believe how well those flattened out! I'm going to have to remember that next time I have warping like that. My only solution has been to make the warp a feature, glue it to a bigger flat base, and fill the gaps like it was all meant to look like that. Idea suggestion for the last part of the table. What about a quarantine zone, or a failed quarantine outpost? it's just the first thing that comes to mind when I see all the slimy ruins and alien stuff on the rest of the board. and it could transition really well into a second table if you ever wanted to make another 5/6s of a table down the road.
Your dewarping was ingenious. I remember how sad I was when my first teenage attempt at a 4x4 table warped like nobodys business. Made me very vary of plywood for a long time. Think I need to give it a go again now I'm older and wiser! I did make a papercraft 4x4 board for Infinity and got around the warping using double sided tape - obviously no use for 3d materials but if anyone wants to affix a paper mat to a board I can't recommend it enough!
Warping is a nightmare, this wasn't a perfect fix, it doesn't really matter though but I still wish they were perfectly flat. I think I will end up mounting these on little frames
@@Miscast Are you familiar with gesso? You can find it at most art supply shops. If you treat the bottoms of masonite of chipboard with a couple coats of gesso before building on them it prevents the warping. I used precut 12x12 masonite boards to build terrain tiles for a table once and we simply painted an 'X' on the bottom of each tile and it wasn't enough. These days I just paint the whole thing, if It's getting a lot of stuff, sand, walls, resin pools, I do several coats and haven't had an issue with warping. Gesso is what the pretreated and pre-stretched canvas you can buy is treated with. I add it to my terrain paste too, helps with the whole 'can't spray paint foam' problem
Also these videos are always so incredibly creatively inspiring and fulfilling, thank you for all of your hard work ❤ every single one makes me just so excited to go make art!
Hey Trent, very cool of you to release free sculpts! You mention how you hope to encourage people to see how you make ‘weird stuff’. Have you considered also releasing WiPs of the completed sculpts so people can see the iterations a sculpt goes through on it’s way to completion?
Tip on the warped boards; not sure what you used as initial base but I assume MDF or foamcore; consider using plywood (e.g. 6mm); little more expensive but dimensionally more stable. You could glue your existing boards onto that if you wished to help flatten them out Some thermal warpage is unavoidable but you might also consider sealing the boards with a 50/50 mix of pva+water as you might for a plaster wall you plan to paint; then a light sand to create tooth to add your stuff on top. I suspect you know this but offering it anyway in case it helps.
you're such a dependable source of positivity mate, every time a new video of yours pops up I'm like "hell yeah" - and then I watch it and I'm like "HELL YEAH!" :D
Another ripper vid of another ripper build. Thanks Trent. Funny, I recognised the Bunnings parking area and realised you're just over the border from me...Might catch you in the Mount some day :)
Those alien pieces were so weird!!! I kinda want to 3D print some of them. It’s too tempting. As for the last foot of the board…what if it’s just…an old building of worship, super fucking tall, almost in like…a gothic style? Like a super elaborate cathedral, but the sheer height of it is such that the board cuts off before it reaches its apex. Maybe tall enough that (if) a character climbed it, they’d be able to see out into the rest of the ruined city. But maybe there’d be a mechanic that to go up higher and higher you’d take some kind of psychic damage? I’m thinking of your jungle-esque board from last year where the scenario changed based on who paid attention to the glyphs on the board. So maybe you’re ascending…the air gets thin, but the wonder of seeing more and more fills the mind of those who climb to go higher and higher… I mean, if I’ve got this idea in my head, maybe I should do it. But alas, I have nobody to play with. But it might be an interesting way to create interest and scale on the board. I think it would be a good challenge to see how tall you can build, too. :P
Your timing is fantastic, mate. Releasing alien weirdness right when I'm on break from grad school with access to my 3d printer? Count me in. Really looking forward to the alien infected part of the board
So, did it in the end work to stemm the bending of the floor tiles? It wasn't so clear to me. It was also something I have encountered a couple of times. For instance with making lakes.
for the Geigery bit's what about a gloss black base then rub them with graphite hit them with a high gloss varnish and maybe do a steel drybruth then add some of your slime? As for your last bit what about event horizon or hellraiser in space(similar but not exactly the same thing) or maybe base it off the archeological site from the doctor who episodes the impossible planet and the Satan pit or from Prometheus?
The power of black nitrile is real man. I really respect how you went "this is a disaster" to "i gotta fix this" instead of simply throwing it out in the bin as a loss. Such a cool end result of a sticky, grimy underhive. Do you have any preferred printer settings/hardware for your personal STLs?
Everything im using has been printed by a variety of machines and variety of people, I just cover it in enough spray paint until they all look the same haha! I usually print in the most economical and fast way which is tree supports and lighting infill
Lot of the greebles are from the my 3d Printable Bits kit, I''ll be adding the stuff I made during this series somewhere, I just havent worked that out yet, but very soon.
This was great! I really liked how the buildings came out (might steal some ideas for myselfe). Laughed out loud abut your partners comment abut the superglue 😂 Thumb up from me 👍🏻
Granted idk what shipping to Australia is like (bad I'm sure) but I've been buying bob smith industries super glue for a couple years and you can get it in huge sizes for relatively cheap compared to the little metal tubes
I really want to start adding terrain to my dnd encounters, but we do our games at another person's house, and I have basically no store things. Any suggestions?
@@Miscast I use six foot long metal racks, two of them.The tiles come in12 inch by 12 inch square or 12x18 .They have interesting texture,beveled edges and can be broken up for more variety.
@@Miscast I have used 12x12 linoleum floor tiles in the past, they were cheap too. Like $1 each. Absolute rubbish flooring but they were great for the board. We had a 4x6 table and made almost 15 tiles to be able to swap them around.
See u tomorrow, same time, same place :)
2am again...
Tomorrow?? Oh boy it's already christmas!
Awesome!
Looking sooooo good!
10:34 bro out here scouting for a job with Bad Dragon 😂
I felt like they sponsored this one, aye
Haha. I was just going to ref BD but you beat me to it haha.
You’re a tremendously talented and smart young man. But more importantly you’re a kind and genuine person. Keep at it Trent.
Aw thankyou so much! That is very very kind

Amazing!! I'm stoked to hear that
Heck yeah.

The table is coming along very very nicly! Love the builds and videos, keep it up man :)
To have shown footage of bunnings but not grabbing a snag from the sausage sizzle out the front is a real tenacious move.
The fumes from those spray paints and spirits… brother.
Where do you think he gets his inspiration from?

Nice sculpting, there's a word that springs to mind (aside from "awesome") and that's yonic - very much Giger-esque, great stuff Trent.
Feeling the pain brother, I have been working on a table of MESBG terrain and all my bases are warping in this gross SA heat :(
Really enjoying the alien terrain and thank you for providing the STLs! The big oval sculpt reminds me of old Chapterhouse tyranid Drop Spore
big inspiration!!
You should try and make a weird sack out of those rubber gloves.
So amazing! Gives me inspiration to work on some of my boards on my days off the next two weeks!
7:00 really good temps for drying oils at least!
Ypur sculptures are really fun, odd and engaging! And this episode is also yet another reminder to stay real, original and one of a kind. 😊❤

WHOO!!! Weird things!!! Damp and fleshy!!! MAKING!!! Ye keep including all the good stuffs! 🥰🥰🥰 The table is looking beautiful!!!
Dude the board is looking badass.
Such a cool alien 2 vibe from that table!
Trent is now an honorary designer for Bad Dragon
I love seeing the dragon in the background around 9:24
awesome table, would love to play on something like that
you're such a dependable source of positivity mate, every time a new video of yours pops up I'm like "hell yeah" - and then I watch it and I'm like "HELL YEAH!" :D
Is it weird that I want a Trent plushie? He could wear a little werewolf hoodie and laugh when I squeeze him!

Yes, not perfect but fine. I'll re-address this again because I want to eventually put everything on frames
The last section would be cool as a crashed spaceship...like a whole vert wall of ship wreck
My favorite part was the broken bridge at 6:36
Added so much character to it, if that makes any sense
Hell yeah sick slimy boards dude!
This is really coming together!
Thanks Trent, this stuff is wild and fun!
Thankyou!!
Flip incredible 😊
Thankyou!!

What if the final section of the table was some form of an alien ship crash landing? A spot where the alien themed table began from?
3:39 like serial killers 😊

did you get the hotdog or not?
