Would you like to see more kids toy conversions? If you want to try something like this, don't forget to check out my shop at www.broadswordwargaming.com for all of the materials used :)

Yes, to more toy conversions! Will do!

Yeah definitely the jewel cases, though I'm sure you can find a use for the CDs in a board, too 😁

Awesome board build! Resin pour came out well and smooth, bubble free. This would work well with some vampires for AoS. More kids toys to board builds!

Thanks so much buddy! :)

@kristophermelin7160 Год назад

One of the best parts about adapting a toy or repurposed trash piece for terrain is how easily you can camouflage the entire thing just by covering or detailing the edges. The thickening of the broken pieces implies the rest of the wall being thicker, and the viewer's mind fills in the rest. Nice results!

@user-ko3tv7jl2r Год назад

Really like that you kept in the bits that didn't work initially and how you solved it.

At 11:58, I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger busted in to tell us to use the geek gaming matte scenic sealant, and to get to the chopper, lol. But all joking aside, awsome video. This board turned out looking really good and has given me ideas to do with some playsets i have put up for this exact same thing. Gotta love those pink tools, lol.

"Get to the sealant" And thanks! Honestly, just give it a go. If in doubt, throw snow all over it haha.

The board looks great all the little details with the ice and the grass around the trees really add to the finished board. A perfect board for Age Of Sigmar narrative game with the Grand Alliance of Death.

@devonwilson8306 Год назад

I've never seen anyone do the hard plastic for ice before, but it turned out fantastically, especially for how little effort it was.

@richardcowling7381 Год назад

Loved the video, takes me back to my Rogue Trader days scratching bits together for scenery. One idea about resin pours. If I've a base similar to the one you used in the video, you could use bathroom sealent rather than hot glue to secure the plastic with wooden strips screwed into the base to help seal it against leaks.

@Kolyarut Год назад

Ever since the colosseum video did the rounds (which I'd forgotten was you!) I've been keen to see more of these kids toy to scenery conversions. Loved the build, keen to see more!

@BroadswordWargaming Год назад

Must do more, for sure! They're an interesting project, and this one changed so much on the way. :) Glad you enjoyed it!

@hedu5017 Год назад

This is an amazing build! Inspired idea to use CDs as ice, time to raid my dusty CD collection and try it myself

@gameoftomes14 Год назад

Awesome build! Resin tip: it won’t adhere to silicone, so maybe lining the river edges with silicone molds or a silicone mat or some other silicone thing and then building up coverage for leaks will give a cleaner edge.

@galatician8063 Год назад

I watched for the snow effects. I think they look great on this board but not what I am looking for to use on bases. Nice job and color choices!

I now use the Modelling Compound and its great and your 'tuna salad' consistency is spot on.

That is amazing, but i wonder, how much was the overall cost, your well past $10 i would think, and how heavy is it?

@BroadswordWargaming 5 месяцев назад

The building cost me 10, but the rest was a little more. Actually not too bad, maybe 50 in additional stuff? It isn't too weighty, just because I don't have a tonne of massive hills or rock faces.. they definitely can add weight. :)

@BroadswordWargaming Год назад

Sounds great!

@Mike_Jones1980 Год назад

I hope that Boulder Hill is pretty well trashed already if you're going to do it. That set is worth quite a bit, even in poor condition.

@Appolyon Год назад

@@Mike_Jones1980 The condition is okay. Some parts are missing, like stickers, tubes and figures. And of course the original packaging and instructions, if the set had any. In this condition I've found it multiple times on ebay on a price around 30 €, so not more expensive than any terrain from GW 8even less so, considering the size). Of course you can also find the same set for triple digits on the price tag, but that's totally over value, except perhaps if the set is still in mint condition.

@ILoveWH40k Год назад

not gonna lie, shattered plaster of paris rubble would have helped blend that lower level really well. More convincing rubble at the bottom like the mass of the building is laying on the floor. That said, incredible work, extremely inspiring for my own projects.

@akasteveuk Год назад

I love these toys-into-terrain videos. But I do have a question. How is the toy building attached to the base? Is it glued directly to the wood, or to the polystyrene? How secure is it, is it robost enough for transport and gaming and storage without the building becomming dislodged?

@goldenspiral6008 Год назад

I think it looks awesome, but since you said you were going for a wizard tower I expected more interior decoration. Perhaps a couldron and a few booksleves.

@nexusofice9135 Год назад

Sigh... His manlyness level went down a bit once he said he had no tools of his own. Pink tools don't matter. But he NEEDS his own set.

@sephidude123 Год назад

Biggest thing I've seen someone like Luke Towan use for resin pours is to use pva glue and tape. so you apply the pva around the edge where you're going to scrape and prep for painting anyways and then apply the tape around the edge letting the glue make the water proof seal. Works great for small parts of the edge. Otherwise for full resin pours i've seen people use clear plastic and more glue.

@JarottM Год назад

The funny part for me is i just found that exact set at my local thrift shop and i didn't get it as i couldn't see it being used as such. This certainly proved me wrong!

I definitely plan on doing more kids toy board, it's quite a nice feeling in the end. 😃

@danielwaters6235 Год назад

if you spray iso alcohol on the plastic it will release the hot glue and then the border will come off easier. You can also use tape it doesn't have to be plastic to edge the resin unless it is a deep pour as the heat from that may warp the tape.

Loved the broken river ice out of CDs, and your approach to snow, sprinkling it from above like actual snow, instead of stippling it on like cake icing, was refreshing and really sold it. I know you said you wished you'd colored the river, but icy winter rivers are dark, almost black, and it looked very convincing to me; after watching this I felt a need to put on a sweater.

@Alberto-hs9pi Год назад

this is a very nice board to play in for warcry vs a vampire band, its awesome!

@AzraelThanatos Год назад

Unless I'm aiming for a deep pour, I've found that High Gloss Polyeurethane is a better option than resin. The stuff you can find in a craft store in what looks like a large bottle of craft paint. It's very thick when you go on and can work to keep it from going over the edge, but flows well enough to fill things in if you're just a bit careful there
