I work at a window factory. 2' foam boards are tossed as garbage. Yep. I grab some now and then, with permission, because, you know, free is better.

@LoLCalmSnow Год назад

My god its just so simple where has this video been all my life! 😭

@sw33n3yto00 Год назад

Dude!! These look amazing. I never thought of the slashes for layering the flats. Looks like the wife will have some more terrain to complain about.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks! It gives it that layered rock look while keeping a mostly flat surface.

@ClayHales Год назад

Those look great. A little tip I learned a long time ago for rock pieces is to do little spots of pink or green here and there to accent the gray. It adds a lot, but it might not work as well on large pieces like this.

@Jester2117 Год назад

Amazing! Still the most realistic rocks I’ve seen for tabletop! I’ll be following these steps to a T. Thanks for the tutorial.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

No problem! Thanks for the support :)

@daynoart 11 месяцев назад

These are genius - I’m definitely going to build some of these for my home terrain kit

@Max80well80 Год назад

Wow, this is a real leg up in quality over any other foam board rocks ive seen.

@whiskeyrichards9973 Год назад

Man I gotta hand it to ya, I've been scouring the vast expenses of RU-vid for the past year, possibly longer in preparation for the massive diorama project I'm currently planning. Out of the countless, hundreds of diorama building tutorial videos I've watched over the course of the past 12 plus months, I can honestly say this has easily been one of the most helpful, insightful and well executed videos I have seen. I feel pretty fortunate to have come across your channel and you have definitely earned a new subscriber here. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the inspiration and creativity fuel! Bravo!

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Dude that means a lot. Thanks :p I am planning on doing at least one follow up to this video since it's done so well.

@Metalbirne Год назад

Underrated Channel. Awesome Modular Rocks. Nice to look at, beginner friendly, easy to build and very playable. Great narration too, very chill.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thank you :) I'm glad you found it useful!

@ballsdynamite Год назад

Thank you for shouting out Bob Ross. It made me watch some of his episodes. I was a kid when he was on but I didn't appreciate him then. He was so relaxing. I'm pretty sure my heart dropped to 25bpm at one point.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

I never watched him on TV, but I went through a few phases of wanting to be a painter and used to watch him for landscape painting techniques.

@danrichardson4983 Год назад

Some of the best tabletop gaming rocks on youtube. I've been trying to bite the bullet price wise on a sheet of 2". Now I'm convinced. Making these this weekend.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks for the support! If you can find a damaged one the discount really helps. Have fun :P

@shonflores 9 месяцев назад

We’ll done!! Top Notch. I definitely added your master piece to my Terrain builds folder. Thank you sir

@HouseDM Год назад

Solid work here Justin! Reminds me I need to make some of these myself. Cheers!

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks man! :)

@admiraldick Год назад

Really amazing stuff. The perfect balance of playable, atmospheric and achievable. Might have to see how I can incorporate this idea into my own terrain.

@Velasc Год назад

I really like your paintjob on the skeletons! Great work on the rocks too. seem super versatile for gaming.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thank you! It is pretty versatile :)

@photogfrank2146 Год назад

I have one word for your modular rocks dude. AWESOME! Another word is Beautiful! I love these and am going to make some my own self!

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks! I appreciate the positive vibes! :p

@toddanderson1506 Год назад

Wow! This is a great way to make a light weight indoor rock crawler course! The pieces could be glued together or modular. Ideal for 1/24 and 1/18 RC rock crawlers!

@wingnutbert9685 4 месяца назад

This is the same reason I'm checking this vid out! 1/24th indoor course build. Could also do slabs like this with cardboard. Cut the top and bottom faces. The glue in an X in the middle for support with cardboard strips, cut the width of however thick you want the rock slab. Then go around the perimeter with strips of cardboard. Paint it up with a cement slurry like the Reactive Terrain boys. Foam sheet can be pricey if you can't get it free and cardboard is free and everywhere. Good luck with your course build!

@notreallydavid Год назад

Woof! Best of their kind on here? Must be contenders at least. Very well done indeed.

@NetPhyll Год назад

Fantastic! Thanks for the great tutorial.

@AFmedic 6 месяцев назад

Not being the "artistic" type, I was dreading thought of landscaping my railroad layout. Came across this video by accident and gave it a try. All I can say is - WOW!!! great tutorial! Thank you!

@BarbarianBristle Год назад

Looks Great! Just got some foam, plan on making something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

@nerzenjaeger Год назад

Have to add a comment. These look very naturalistic and I will definitely steal this approach.

@te9591 Год назад

Looks amazing.

@erikjordheim2933 2 месяца назад

Just wanted to say that I made a set of these for the board game club I run for my middle and high school and they turned out great! Thanks a ton for the video.

@hauntswargaming 2 месяца назад

Glad to hear it! :)

@SweenyMarc Год назад

They look great and very practical. The smaller pieces really added to the playability. I wonder if a dark green wash applied only to select cracks and crevices would read as moss growth? That might add a bit of life to the finished look. A Martian/desert red/yellow set would be pretty cool too.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks! I think a spotty green wash would look great. I was thinking about making a few more "topper" pieces with dirt and greenery. I'll probably make an icy/snowy set sometime too.

@vitale6633 3 месяца назад

Excellent tutorial. The sanded grout is a great suggestion.

@f4llendeity940 Год назад

This was one of the best tutorials that I have seen. Great job.

@campbellfamily1928 Год назад

That is a nice boulder! Appreciate the inspiration and techniques. This is going to go well on my game table.

@powersave2 Год назад

Great tutorial! I bet all those layers of mod podge, grout, glue, and sealer have these being rock-hard!

@hauntswargaming Год назад

I see what you did there lol Time will tell but so far they seem pretty durable! Thanks for the support!

@modelsfromscratch 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic tutorial 👍 love the cracks snd rubbing in of grout - will try that for sure. Decent XPS hard to get in Australia but have some sheets saved I might just do thus with! Looks epic

@RM-ex1gn Год назад

Looks badass. Thanks for sharing !

@hauntswargaming Год назад

@dennisdehaan214 Год назад

Looks great. I'd be using the ones with the wash for games inside dark dungeons and caves or night or heavy storms

Perfect. And good for playing. Love this, did the same with sheets of wood when i was a teenager.

@chrisboyd4433 Год назад

If you keep your eye open at construction sites (especially homes) you can often get some scraps free. I made some 1" thick slabs for use with my Five Parsecs from home tabletop battles.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

That's a really good idea!

@alrethianscraftsbattles 9 месяцев назад

Honestly mate, these are the best modular rocks I've seen. Perfect for building a huge amount of terrain in one go. Sure it will take some time, but the pay off is definitely worth it. Great job man...now time to start making my own 😅👍

@hauntswargaming 9 месяцев назад

Thanks man! This set has gotten a lot of use so I'd say it's worth the effort :p

@leesautomotive1737 9 месяцев назад

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Appreciate it! Thanks:)

@81dublin Год назад

These looks great! Definitely going to make a set for myself. I was thinking about the smaller pieces and how they might be a bit wobbly with larger models on it and perhaps cutting a slit into the foam piece and wedging a weight like a large heavy washer to help stabilize the piece.

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Yea that's a good idea. They are really light. I haven't played enough games to say if it's an issue or not yet though. Thanks for the comment!

@kyleclavette9445 Год назад

If you are not making it double sided, you can drive screws into the bottom of it.

@tinaprice4948 Год назад

very nice rocks :) they look very natural

@hauntswargaming Год назад

@carlonmarlon4850 11 месяцев назад

@hauntswargaming 11 месяцев назад

@carlonmarlon4850 11 месяцев назад

@@hauntswargaming XPS has different densities, yours is very dense and can be cut with a knife. A less dense material will not work as well, it will have a problem with cutting and splitting, more small holes are visible and it is softer. Of course, a big difference in price. ;)

@boobah3701 Год назад

These look amazing! I’m super excited to try- though when I look up foam at hardware stores nearby they say its insulation foam and I just wanted to be sure that’s the right kind. Great video!

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Yeah, it's insulation foam. They sell it in 4' x 8' sheets

@hauntswargaming Год назад

@last2nkow Год назад

i would be tempted to do one side grey rock and the other more verdant, a base of mud and generic flocking. that way one week you could be fighting on a bare rocky mountain stacked 4 rocks high and the next a verdant agricultural hillscape. im probably going to make slightly more regular shaped set than these because that suits my table, but these do look great mate. im looking at a couple of big ol chungus 12"x6", a couple each of 6"x6" and 8"x4" and some irregular smaller pieces for my first set, but if it goes well ill probably add about the same again but less regularly shaped. i guess similar to what you did now im thinking about it. Im thinking about using a similar block of terrain approach for stacking levels of industrial buildings too, as some simple blocks that are decorated to look like buildings would be pretty easy to do with foam

@hauntswargaming Год назад

Thanks for the comment! You could definitely do 2 different sides with a more boxy shape! Since they are random shapes it's nice to be able to flip them to puzzle them together in more ways though. I was thinking about making a set of "toppers" with different types of grass/etc. So that might be a future project :p Stackable industrial buildings sound like an interesting idea too.

@RottenMechGaming 7 месяцев назад

Great video and nice step by step. I think I would have liked to have seen some dirt and plant life in places to break up the grey. Also a couple of inaccessible areas with more slopes would be more natural. I appreciate it’s a battle between making playable flat surface terrain and “natural” looking environments but just a few areas that have natural steep slopes would look ace.

@SammyM00782 5 месяцев назад

@johnphilippatos 2 месяца назад

Great tutorial. The 1" small rocks blend exceptionally and sell the whole project even more. Maybe the underside can be a different kind of terrain for more versatility? E.g. sandy desert on the downside and rocky hills on the upper, but what about the sides?
