in this video i'm going to show you how to make some awesome industrial terrain using only cardboard hey guys welcome back to eric's hobby workshop i'm in a group on facebook called the necromanda terrain builders and they have a quarterly build challenge and this quarter the challenge was to see what you can build with cardboard now the rules in this group aren't particularly stringent and no one would care if you used materials in addition to cardboard but i thought it'd be an interesting challenge to see what i can build using only cardboard and nothing else and by nothing else i am of course not encountering glue sand paint and whatever else i feel like using but all the materials for the build are cardboard let's get to it all right you guys we're gonna start this off with some graphics medium chipboard this is the holy grail of crafting materials or as i like to call it ylock board as popularized by the legendary wildlocks armory so we're gonna start with an eight and a half by eleven sheet of this we're going to whoa jump to something else nice editing eric guys i cut out some footage there because i actually made too much stuff for this video and the first thing i made is going to be featured in another video but i'm going to start by making some greebly details here by cutting a piece of quarter inch chipboard and a piece of eighth inch chipboard and then cutting those into short lengths and alternating short long short long short long to make this piece here that's going to be a really nice vent this was kind of the fun part about this project is problem solving all the ways that you can use chipboard to make details where normally i would rely on a bits box anyways i used some corrugated cardboard here and square off a nice box bracing the corners with some hot glue and then i test fit the front but i'm not going to attach the front yet because i am going to put a chipboard cladding on this but not before i cut out my door hole i cut the corners with a little bit of a bevel i guess you'd call that there to give it more of a futuristic silhouette and then i make the same pattern on a piece of chipboard make sure they fit nicely next i'm gluing a bit of a recessed doorway backing this will allow me to put my door recessed from the door frame which will give a little bit more interest next i'm cutting out a frame for the doorway itself this is a little bit of relief that'll add around the doorway and give it sort of a nice little bit of industrial detail when you don't have any bits to work with you start realizing you have to embellish things on your own with some careful planning and more and more chipboard the glue i'm using for most of this stuff if it's not hot glue is aleene's tacky glue which is the first time i've used it it's kind of like a really thick white glue but i really like it i think i'm going to use it more next i'm going to cut some cereal board here this is a thinner cardboard stuff that cereal comes in at least here in north america can't speak for the rest is but uh yeah i'm going to draw some parallel lines here and then using my ruler going to mark off some measurements to allow me to make a sort of toothed pattern to give the indication of one of those futuristic doors that slides closed from either side and i thought that'd be a nice little detail here to make my door a little something special so i cut that out with my x-acto blade make sure you have really sharp knives for this stuff you'll get those nasty little corner pieces there which i inevitably get and then glue that on and clean up the glue if it oozes out before it dries because it'll make a dry hard bead that'll ruin your texture if you don't do it next i use some more tacky glue to glue my chipboard facade on and you're starting to see what i'm getting at here i cut a few more pieces of cereal box and i'm going to use this as cladding for the inside of the door frame where that horrible corrugated cardboard texture is i really do not like corrugated cardboard as much as chipboard but that's okay i don't need to use too much of it because i got a big pack of chipboard if you want your own big package shipboard check the links in the description i'll hook you up can kick back a little bit to the channel everybody's happy so i glue that together with a little hot glue and i have this nice boxy structure that's going to be the basis of my project here i glue some more chipboard pieces to all sides of that cardboard just to cover those ugly corrugated corners and get some nice flat walls that'll paint up really nicely later and accent my details next i'm going to make some stairs as you can see i made a grid here with the rise and run that i wanted and then i cut out four of these diagonal strings and on two of the four i cut the risers and the treads into the string to give it this nice notched look then taking another piece of chipboard i think that was an inch and a half across i cut myself a bunch of nice little treads and with these treads all cut up i glue my strings to my other pieces and then i can glue the treads into the strings and make myself a nice staircase i started off by gluing the top step and the bottom step and waited for those to dry because that way i wouldn't have to wrangle with a wet piece but once i got all the stairs put in and wiped away the extra glue i was left with quite a handsome little staircase next i'm using a cardboard tube here and i'm using some tape that's sort of a brown paper packing tape to cover all the seams the spiral seam on the outside of the cylinder and that is a much handsomer cylinder cut some strips and add some details to the cylinder i've done this in previous videos but this is another great way to break up this big cylindrical shape is by adding these seams to it and this gives it a little industrial vibe that'll give us some nice detail later on i did sort of a double layer at the top but that's going to get covered up anyways but at this stage i didn't know that that's kind of the joy of building improvisationally is covering your own hard work later on so i use my hot glue gun and i glue my structure down onto a full sheet of chipboard and this is going to sort of bound in my project and make sure i don't make it too big which i do have a tendency to do if i don't give myself some limits early on next i glue two sheets of chipboard together and weigh it down with my nice roll of tape and that's going to be the top of my structure let's add some details so i made some little squares of chipboard and nicked the corners off to make a sort of interesting shape and then i added some strips of chipboard to the corners and this gives it a nice clad corner piece that makes it look like it's constructed of something a little more interesting than you know a box of chipboard which is what it is and doing this is quite time consuming and i knew that's what i would be getting into when i did this project but i always surprised myself with how time consuming some of these things i choose to do are here i'm making a bunch of little girders these are half inch pieces of chipboard and with these little girders when i glue them to a piece of chipboard i get a nice little means of constructing my own steel frame architecture this is my favorite part about this project that i did is sort of realizing the freedom that i can construct anything that i want and i don't need to rely on either expensive plastic card or uh just finding the right pieces hunting for bits so i glue on my stairs here with some more eileen's tacky glue as you can see that's a handsome staircase here i'm using two different types of glue because i am an absolute renegade of the crafting world so i'm adding some more of these little girders around the outside of my platform just to hide the fact that it is in fact a thin layer of cardboard next i'm going to use some paper straws i live in new york where plastic straws are banned and this is the first time i've had any affection at all for these paper straws but they're really good for this and they're really handy so as you can see i've coated it in that packing tape and then i'm adding some little thin strips of cereal box with super glue to add some pipe fitting looking pieces i put them in a little box of chipboard here along with some q-tip sticks yes q-tip six count as cardboard these are paper tightly rolled paper and that counts baby and uh as you can see i've made a nice little recessed area of pipes that adds some really cool detail next i'm gonna use this hole punch this is a smaller than normal hole punch so if you've only ever punched holes for a binder you won't know about this bad boy but it is a beauty i cut a few different little holes and that gives me these little dots that i can put on as i don't know buttons lights whatever you want them to be i got two sizes of these hole punches both of them i got at michael's but i'll try to link them in the description because these are really handy tools these ones i made almost like little buttons but you could easily rivet something with this if you had a a great desire for punishment next i make some pieces with a couple gauges of cardboard tube and wrapping some cardboard around them i'm just making as much detail as i can here adding pieces of q-tip as you can see once you have these basic shapes established you can detail away to your heart's content so let's add some of these details to the project i cut into the chipboard here and this is what i love about this medium how many things could you just dig into with an exacto knife at this stage not many i tell you but so here's i'm doing something interesting where i'm putting a piece of board in behind i'm gluing a little piece of chipboard to it so i can put it in and make sort of a backstop so my vent doesn't just fall into my building never to be retrieved and i push that vent in there and the fit is so good that it's just a pressure fit i forgot to put glue but i don't need to i couldn't get it back out so what am i going to do it's pressure fit in there i cut a similar hole here for my little indentation pipe piece this one i did put glue on and i pushed it flush i wasn't too worried about pushing that one too far in because that went real nice and slow but look at that recessed in detail i'm happy with that next i cut some angled cuts on a piece of this pipe and by doing so i can make some interesting bendy shapes of the pipe this doesn't have an elbow corner like a normal pipe it has this sort of squared off corner but living in new york you see a lot of pipes like this and they're uh insulated pipes i believe they may not have this same coupling appearance as well so i'm kind of hybridizing here but you know what it's my project baby i'm hybridizing if i want to here's another little gribbly bit i'm making by wrapping a piece of chipboard around two different gauges of plastic straw and as you can see you get those nice varied shapes a strip of cardboard here next thing you know it's starting to look a little bit less like just some straws and a little bit more like an industrial smoke stack or something like that so here i'm taking a roll of tin foil and folding it back and forth and then switching rolls to the 25 foot one instead of the hundred foot one which i realized i was going to be doing all day but what i'm basically getting at here is i'm trying to get that sweet sweet hard cardboard tube inside the aluminum foil roll so i went to the dollar store and picked up a couple one dollar rolls of aluminum foil for this purpose because this tube is fantastic it's nothing like paper towel too paper towel tubes will collapse on themselves if you look at them wrong but this one is like reinforced real deal never bent out of shape good stuff this is what you want for your crafting project so add some chipboard on there as sort of a flange and then i decided let's make some railings the railing method i came up with here uses the hole punch and the q-tips and i'm basically punching holes in these one-inch strips at a uniform length and then gluing some strips together as side pieces with one in the middle so my q-tips can go right through those hole punched pieces and i'll make a nice little fence the q-tips themselves are even handy for cleaning up the extra glue next let's make a tile floor on the top what i decided to do here was cut this out and have a little bit of detail peeking through similar to that pipe from before so i scored it quite deeply so it bends for most of it but for one square i cut it all the way out and when i put that on trace out that square it gives me the right shape for this detail box that i did much in the similar way as before i glued that little stick on there so i wouldn't drop the piece inside and then i recess my detail holding with a piece of needle nose pliers so i don't drop that inside as well once i have my tiles glued on top i score with the compass to make those indents nice and deep in between them and then i glue my last tile out over to the side like it's an access hatch that's just opened that's maybe one of my favorite details of this project it's just so cool moving right along i'm using a compass now because we're going to add a walkway on the platform i originally intended that thing to maybe be a smokestack but like i said we're making it up as we go along that's the only way so i cut out a nice ring-shaped piece and then i cut a little pac-man bite out of the side of that double it up because one layer of chipboard is just not enough for a guy like me and then i glue some girders around at a uniform height to act as my supports for my platform i make another platform for the top by gluing two pieces of chipboard together and i glue my platform on and next i'm going to cut some strips here of chipboard and what i'm doing here is making some little support girders so every other piece i cut the on angles at the ends of it so that the piece can sit flush against the wall and against the bottom of my platform and you'll see that in a moment here here i'm adding a square of chipboard to the bottom to act as a little support piece and then i glue those all around under my platform and you get this nice sort of industrial supported look and that's a nice detail from underneath if i do say so myself i love the way that looks gluing some more girders onto the platform that's going to go on the top this is going to give it again a little bit more of a sturdy appearance and then i glue that on jetting out to one side just for a little bit of visual interest next i'm cutting a ladder guys this is one of the things that drove me insane about this project everything takes a long time when you're cutting even if you have a sharp knife this stuff just takes time to cut through accurately this ladder you're not going to believe this it took me a half hour just to make this ladder but you know what it's worth it sometimes when you have a challenge you got to just get through it am i right so when i glue that in on the top there look how flush that is is that ever satisfying next i take one of my tin foil tubes and i add that into the top there add a little box on the side and then i'm mod podging the whole project because we are ready to start giving this thing some paint mod podge is going to protect all of this paper from any washes i do subsequently add some white glue to the base and then i add a little bit of my favorite sand that's right this is the first thing that's not cardboard that's gone on this project and it is satisfying to be beyond the hump on that one add a little bit of tile grout and then i mod podge that tile grout what the tile grout is going to do is going to add a nice gritty corroded appearance to some of my surfaces help break up these nice big flat cardboard bits and that's really important for a project like this you can see that grime building up around my little boiler type thing here take that outside hit it with a coat of black paint as usual i'm using the tail end of like three different black spray cans here so don't ask me what brand because it really does not matter hit that with some brown acrylic and dry brush it with silver acrylic paint and this is going to lay the base for my corroded rusty metal layer and it's a really simple technique that has really nice results if you even want it to stop here but i'm not gonna i'm gonna use a homemade black wash here of watered down black paint with a drop of dish liquid and i'm going to apply that everywhere getting a nice deep contrast and some model black i'm going to make a watery orange wash some yellow orange brown paint and i'm going to absolutely slather this piece if you think that looks too vibrant you're right it looks way too vibrant but it dries a little bit less vibrant so i'm going crazy here but crazy is part of the method to the madness if that makes sense maybe not doesn't matter but yeah so i cheeto blast my entire project here and you know at this stage i was a little bit nervous that i might have overdone it but it worked out it always does it kind of looks like a paintball field anyways next i'm going to use this masking fluid this is latex masking fluid it's usually used for watercolor painting but it's perfect for this rip a bit of kitchen sponge and dab it in your latex masking fluid and then go around the pieces that are gonna take a coat of paint and when we peel this off later it's gonna be a nice chipping effect so i hit a lot of those rusty surfaces even some that i didn't end up painting a different color but that's part of the game and then i come in with a sort of soviet nasty vomit green color for my tank and an off-white for this feeder tube that's coming in the side for the main part of the building i went for a pale blue what i was trying to do here was i was actually trying to imitate the color scheme on the old necromanda cardboard pieces that came with those fantastic old bulkheads and i don't know if i did necessarily nail it or not but that was the inspiration if you're wondering why i went for this next i come with a stiff old toothbrush and i scrub away and the chipping medium underneath comes up leaving me with this nice natural rusty chipped look and it just gives you a nice natural area where this would have chipped so you can come in with some burnt umber with a thin brush and add some streaks coming down from these natural looking places and this is the start of the rust effect that we're gonna do next i come back in with my orangey brown wash and i apply this below all of my chipped areas that have a large area of rust as if there were a seeping mineral flow that's staining the paint below and this really helps to tie in the realism and sort of ground these pastel colors with these rusty filthy metals that i've done here and it's really starting to come together but it still needs a little bit more grime so i'm going to mix up a really filthy black wash that's just thin black paint and water and a drop of dish fluid and what this is going to do is it's going to give me that disgusting grubby overbuilt industrial grime look that ties all the different component pieces together as one filthy piece of industrial terrain that sells it all together as a whole and with that dark wash done i'm gonna call this piece finished [Music] [Applause]
