How to make Ruins out of Cheap Foam (suitable for D&D, WHFB, Frostgrave, Mordheim) 

We need some more videos in this series! I'm currently building a big set of ruins that are mostly cardboard. Doing some detailing with foam core and coffee stir sticks. Just picked up a new size of big cardboard tubes I got from a dumpster at a friend's job. Going to use them and some of the tubes I get a work to make some towers, ruined towers, and some stand along buildings. Everything I'm making right now is meant to be modular so that it can all be used together and in loads of configurations. Thank you for these videos. I love the inspiration they have given me.

Great video mate im going to try this

Nice. now I need to order something large and expensive to get my hands on some free foam 🤣

I absolutely love this , I’m very new to making models ect , so this is definitely something that I will be trying , thank you for sharing 👍

I’m enjoying watching your videos on July 4th here in California. Can’t think of a better way of enjoying a day off of work to sit down and watch your videos. Really!! enjoy watching them. Thanks for sharing. And I’ll keep watching your videos and maybe pick up some pointers. 👍👍

Hellooooo JH! I love that you utilize material that most people snub. My skill level has definitely improved through your influence. Until the vid-19 takes us all out, I’ll stay Wasted!

This is brilliant. I have never made anything and you inspire both myself and my daughter (9) to try it out. Also, the lack of specific measurements encourages both inspiration and the free at heart. May you hit 100k subscribers before the year end!

Loved yer simple ruins tutorial. I found it rather inspirational.

These came out surprisingly well for regular foam! Well done as usual!

Lol 3rd arm! Nice one mate

I'm first and foremost a model trains guy, but I still want to give this a try.

Awesome idea , great directions . Cool finish and cool video.

Great looking walls. Thanks for sharing.

You can always reinforce the taller pillars with a wooden skewer to add stability

The bricks look great using polystyrene foam ive always used xps foam but these look better. I will try that. Awesome thank you.

Thanks so much for thism i see everyone using xps foam and i can't get it ANYWHERE. Ive been discouraged from these types of huolds because of it. Well, I'll give it a shot again!

I'm not gonna lie, I went from "Oh yea, I can definitely do this" to "Oh, you're painting it for a third time?.. I guess it looks cool now." To "What the hell am I getting myself into?". Looks great, but man do I need more skill / experience.. haha

Is that adhesive a UK product only?

What happened to gaslands or the wasteland

It works fine? Now I feel like an idiot for thinking us Brits had no chance to do anything like the XPS Foam addicts the American RU-vidrs put out

What happened to the series??😢

I strongly believe this kind of tutorial are really bad for the hobby. You cannot suggest to use a bad material like expanded polystyrene instead of the much better extruded polystyrene, the second is not espensive at all and the aesthetic improvement is like night and day. You did a good job but you used very bad materials for the base too, do yourself a favor and invest a couple of bucks in high quality material.
