A lot of people seem to think making terrain is hard. It's not. It's so easy, even a hippo could do it. And to prove a hippo could do it, here's 'Terrain For Hippos', a new, visual step by step terrain building blog, hosted by professional Hippo, Grot Bag.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.comBlogger469125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083167865623833339.post-56973484622799050262020-06-30T09:04:00.002+10:002020-06-30T09:04:39.993+10:00Bunnings Foam: Knauf Vs. Bastion.I needed more high density foam over the weekend so I ended up at Bunnings. Bunnings now list two different brands online at the same price - the familiar yellow Knauf board and a new greenish-blue kind from Bastion. They have slightly different insulation specs, but the descriptions are basically the same (both a extruded, both claim to be 'closed cell,' both are quite tough and very light etc - although Bastion specifically lists 'hobbies' as one of it's uses, while Knauf only lists building applications).<br />
Since the branch I was at had run out of 30mm Knauf, I bought some Bastion. And now I hope they get Knauf back in stock.<br />
Here's why.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's a comparison shot. The Bastion is the blue-green stuff at the top (it's a lot greener than the extruded blue stuff you often see online and can get from Solid Solutions). Both of these off-cuts were cut using a table saw - although not the same table saw. You can start to see that the Bastion has a much coarser texture.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIcSXtmPcmY/XvpvAIU89TI/AAAAAAAARhU/rf4KVZYw58EXx9mSir6h3ZRxK3aleMcMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_20200630_083514340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIcSXtmPcmY/XvpvAIU89TI/AAAAAAAARhU/rf4KVZYw58EXx9mSir6h3ZRxK3aleMcMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_20200630_083514340.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These are the sawed edges - note the texture of the Bastion board - it's marketed as being closed cell, but it does have a much foamier, bubblier texture. There are 'bubbles' which lead to a rough texture along cut edges. The Knauf by contrast is pretty smooth and can be sanded back so the cut edge matches the smoothness of the extruded top surface.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's the top surface. Knauf is nice and smooth, you can see the Bastion is pretty rough. Sanding it does not make much impact on the texure as it's caused by bubbles, so more just open up as you remove upper layers.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First test - my traditional drawing hard to make cobble stones. The Knauf takes the indentation nicely with no tearing, and the pen leaves clear marks behind so you can see what you've been doing. The Bastion however... The pen does not roll through the material, it jumps and skitters as it tears it's way through the bubbly surface. This tends to mean no ink is left, and it's hard to see what you've done. (Click for fullsize image - it's not super clear here)</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Next up, cutting a line with a knife and widening it with a pen. This works much better on the Bastion Foam than just drawing. It's just about as good as the Knauf foam. Note that the rougher surface texture of the Bastion will show through when painted giving a more 'sand stone' look where Knauf's smoother surface works for denser stones such as granite.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Finally, carving rocky textures using the cut-and-flick method. The Bastion will just about manage this, but you cannot get quite as fine detail as the Knauf. It also feels a lot more fragile - at full thickness the boards feel almost equally tough (Bastion seems a bit weaker) but when carved into thinner shapes, it's clearly weaker. The detail tends to end up a bit softer too.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Okay, so conclussions time.<br />
I did not photograph carving stone blocks using the 'V' shaped cut method as it works fine on Bastion. I also didn't photograph adding texture using the back end of a paintbrush and some preassure, or rolling a ball of tine foil. The paintbrush method works okay, but not great, and I have yet to try the tinfoil ball, but I suspect it will not be great as the bubbly surface will likely tear up (it did this to an extend with the paintbrush-butt method).<br />
Bearing all that in mind, it's pretty clear that the Knauf foam is the better option. It carves beautifully, takes texture well and is pretty rugged even when cut thin. The Bastion board on the other hand is a little lighter, and if you don't want to carve it there's not really much of a problem. It would be fine for sand or grass covered modular terrain tiles or hills.<br />
Of course, since both cost the same, it's really just a question of availability. If Knauf is there, buy the Knauf every time. I'm just worried that Bunnings may have changed supplier and won't be stocking the excellent Knauf foam any more. I've had a look online, and Knauf are still in business and their products are available from specialist insulation shops in much larger sheets, so I'm going to be buying online in future if Bunnings continues to fail me.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083167865623833339.post-49058380312648336762020-05-16T20:48:00.001+10:002020-05-16T20:48:47.200+10:00Pretty Pictures: The first five for Waaagh! Orkzenhower!After about a week of mucking around and experimenting, I've completed the first five models for Waaagh! Orkzenhower. The first thing I had to work out what skin colour - my usual Ork skin is a more 'natural' look, starting out with an olive green which would be far too close to the colour of WW2 GI uniforms. The solution was to go with a more traditional, brighter green Ork skin look, but it took a little while to work one out that was distinct from the uniforms. Then I had to work out how to paint the military green of the uniforms... Now that I've worked that out, I should be able to get the next lot out much faster...<br />
Of course, getting decent pics is another problem, and I'm really not completely happy with what I have got.<br />
Anyway, here they are.<br />

I did try to get close ups on all of them, but they all came out rather blurry apart from the two above. I think I'll borrow the school's photo studio and lights next week and try for better.</div>

One of the new clubs is my Scale Model Club. Since most of the kids have never built a model before, and since most of them don't have any exciting kits or materials, I put together a tutorial on how to build a simple model using only cardboard from packaging, and the sort of basic tools and paint which they are likely to have for art projects. Then I thought why sit on a perfectly good project? Why not get Grot to explain it for his many fans?<br />
So here you are, you lucky people! Apart from the static grass added at the end (and you could skip that!) this whole cottage is made from two different cardboard boxes using nothing but a knife, a pair of scissors, a pen/pencil, a ruler, and some glue. I did use both PVA and Super Glue, but you can just pick one and use it for everything. I did also use two different knives, but either one would have been fine for the whole project. You'll also notice there are more photos than I'd usually use - since this was designed for novice modellers, I went into more detail than I usually would, taking two or three photos were I'd usually only take one.<br />
Anyway, Grot time.<br />

Well, there you have it besieged Hippo Fans! Working entirely in cardboard really took me back to the early days of my terrain career, when I was 13 and my nan gave me the original red How To Make Wargames Terrain book for my birthday. Look out for companion pieces to this coming in future!</div>

No doubt some of you recall Waaagh! Orkzenhower, part of Mad Juzzy the Flutist's Bounty, and my third Ork Army alongside Waaagh Snaggatoof and Waaagh Gruntblasta. It's the Maxmini Green Alliance WW2 US Army Orks one. In the current hobby climate I decided it was probably time to star doing something with them, so I crunched the numbers and realised that I really did not have enough of them. No problem, all they really need is a Battlewagon I thought, I'll just ork-up a Sherman. So one Tamiya M4 Early Production sherman order from Metro Hobbies later (which arrived at 0800 on Sunday - bless AusPost!) I had all I needed. Since Tamiya kits basically fall together and the modifications were not extensive, the project went very quickly and easily. How quickly and easily? Let us consult with certain experts...</div>

And there you have it Hippo Fans! This took three days - Sunday, and then a bit of Monday and Tuesday evenings. It's a quick and easy little project and quite effective. The key to making a 1/35 real world tank like this look right for 40K is to replace anything which is not exagerated - the gun was far too small, you'll notice I have not used any of the hand-grips from the kit as they are also too small and spindly. Ultimately, I would like the tank to be a little taller to look a bit more orky - I'm not sure if it's the Tamiya kit's fault, but it does not look as tall as I thought Shermans were... Might just be to do with viewing angles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I should paint up some figs to go with this beast. Until next time!</div>

They were the first ork vehicles painted for Waaagh! Snaggatoof, and I have changed my painting style, so they don't fit in. I have stared to remedy this, and I'm also going to build a few more. I'm low on Plasticard (just ordered more) so I'm going to try to make them with as little structural plasticard as I can. As a result, the next two will be based on PVC pipe. I still have tons of .5mm plasticard to add details and plates, but it's a bit thin for structural work.<br />
Anyway, time for pictures!<br />

Well, that about wraps it up for this update. I'm going to start working on some PVC pipe based Grot Tanks, and I'm also planning on building a Gun Wagon and Grot Mega Tank soon. Plus, I just ordered a 1/35 Tamiya Sherman online for a mysterious orky project of mystery!Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083167865623833339.post-78293040088738069402020-04-11T12:43:00.001+10:002020-04-18T10:18:57.819+10:00Modelling For Hippos Ishoo Twenty-Nin: Grot Tank with RokkitsI've been busily painting the Kill Tank and Stompa for the last few weeks, and tackling such huge projects led to a bit of burnout. With things so huge, it takes so long to achieve anything visible that you can tend to feel like you're standing still (just applying a coat of yellow to the Stompa body took almost an hour - and it took three coats!). So I decided I needed to tackle a smaller project with more immediate results. And it turn out that despite my promises, I never did do an MFH on making Grot Tanks. So to kill two birds with one stone, here's Grot to build a Grot Tank!<br />
NOTE: Lies! All Lies! I did Grot Tanks in MFH17, ut forgot to tag it so when I went back I didn't find it! Oh well, now we have a second Grot Tank ishoo about a different weapon fit...<br />

And there you have it hippo fans! This is a pretty quick little project - I started this Friday afternoon and it was finished before lunch on Saturday. In the past, I have built one of these from raw materials to completed starting around 1300 and ending about 2200 during the Descent of the Hobbyists on the Hoodling's Hole. Obviously there were food breaks in there, and the odd bit of chat, but it's not hard to build one of these in a day, and it does not require very much material - you can probably get three of these from a single sheet of 1mm plasticard, plus a it more .5mm card, rods, rubes etc.<br />
Anyway, I'll leave Grot Grot and Mek Grot to sort out their differences and get back to the modelling table - I've got an idea for a Skorcha armed Grot Tank banging away at the sides of my head trying to get out...<br />

I've basically worked out how I'm doing the drive sprockets, road wheels idlers etc for the suspension, but I'm still working out how to make all the track links.

A smaller one. Although still pretty big. In fact it's also a Lord of War choice (or whatever they call them) - a Kill Tank. I can't remember which kind of Kill Tank right now - there are two with different weapon fits and the names are not sticking in my head. I think it might be a Kill Blasta, but then it might be a Killbursta...?<br />

Apart from that, I've got a few sketches and ideas running around. Nick Hoen of the Dwellers Bellow pod cast was nosing around HGC's terrain collection looking for some kit for an upcoming event, and mentioned some ideas, including a further expansion of the Gob Off terrain, so I've started work on a Shaman's hut made from a tree stump.

It's been a very long time coming, but the stompa is finally complete! I started this bad boy at Easter last year, worked on it slowly until June due to a spectacularly nasty and long running cold, and then sort of stalled until a few weeks ago. And now it's done. I built the final twin-shoota pintle mount yesterday, finished it up today, added some final rivets around where it's installed at the lower jaw, tweaked a few more rivets here and there, and then installed pilots to the supa rokkits. And now the vast task of painting comes...</div>

Well, there it is. The Stompa is now well on its way to completion. I'm working on the supa rokkits now, and then it's just a matter of a pintle mounted twin big shoota on the lower hook of the moon.<div>
And paint. Oh so much paint.</div>

<br />
Anyway, we're back with the second update of the day, this time showing the wonders of the Gobbo Big Boss's Hall. This was built in honour of <a href="http://hoodlinghole.blogspot.com/search/label/gob-off">The Gob Off</a> - a Goblin V. Goblin Warhammer 8th ed narrative campaign involving The Hoodling and The Old Wolf. But mostly because I wanted to do some more of the polystyrene stone carving technique I've been developing for making REALLY tumble-down stone work buildings suitable for Goblins.<br />
Here's Grot!<br />

We've done these before - way back when I built the My First Underhive terrain set, but these are a little different. They came out of the same planning session with Pete as the rock spires from last ishoo and are intended to be scale-agnostic enough that we can use them in Gaslands and mighty ruins or in 28mm scale games as low ruins. And in an attempt to make them more durable than our polystyrene, foamcore, or cardboard walls, they're made from MDF.<br />

And there you have it Hippo Fans! Hopefully, these walls will prove more resistant to the destructive forces of HGC club storage. And hopefully you'll be back for the nest ishoo (in about half an hours time since I already have that one completed and sort of forgot to post this one for a few days...)</div>

In the old days when I first got into this hobby, rock spires were a big thing. They were always turning up in White Dwarf pictures, and they were one of the first terrain projects I undertook - almost certainly the very first time I used polystyrene. Which makes it a bit odd that I have never actually posted any to the blog. Of course, terrain technology has marched on. Those first rock spires I made used 10mm thick sheets of low density foam cut to shape and slathered in plaster. These days it's easy to get high density styrofoam insulation sheet and I've learned much more effective texturing techniques. So with the increasing interest in Gaslands at my club, it seemed like a good time to build some 'scale agnostic' terrain like rock spires which could be used in Gaslands as well as all the 28mm games we play. So here's Grot to show you the way!</div>

Note: Extend about 5-7cm of blade, dig it into the polystyrene horizontally, and then flick your wrist to twist the blade sideways. It will rip a chunk out and give a nice stratified effect.</div>

And there you have it hippo fans! It's quick and easy to make a whole table worth of these (which is exactly what I did - I ended up with nine seperate pieces ranging from about 5cm across all the way up to about 20cm across. So long as you don't over do the grass they will look perfectly at home in anything from 15mm-28mm scale, and if you just swap static grass out for flock they'll work at smaller scales too. You could leave the grass out, but it helps to seperate the spire from the base visually. Come back soon for the next ishoo which will also tackle one of the classics of my youth in. a scale agnostic way. Or attempt to anyway.</div>

Well, there you go Hippo Fans - the last post of 2019. As for what 2020 holds, well, you'll just need to check back tomorrow when I'll probably post some sort of rambling plan or something.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083167865623833339.post-80683671426785641682019-12-29T10:48:00.000+11:002019-12-29T10:48:00.240+11:00Modelling For Hippos Ishoo Twenty-Ate: Gaslands Pirate Heavy Truck.Toy cars don't really follow a uniform scale. They're made to a chassis length or box size, which means a Mini is the same length as a Ford F-650. This can be a pain when you want a heavy truck for Gaslands - it's not hard to get a semi to make a war rig, but the rigid chassis trucks in between that and a pickup tend to be shrunk down to fit the standard chassis. There are some out there, but they're harder to find and there's less choice. So the obvious solution is to just build a heavy truck from whatever you have to hand. Here's road pirate captain Grot to show you how!<br />

Note: the best way to do this is by using a drill press with a 3.5mm drill bit. I've been using a 3.15 which is generally fine but sometimes doesn't get all the rivet. You could use a hand held power drill and a vice to hold the car, but you need to be very careful and it will take a lot longer.</div>

Today we're going to look at painting them. Many figure painting techniques can be transferred to painting toy cars, but there are a few things to look of for - toy cars tend to have softer details for a start.<br />
Here's Grot to guide you through the process.<br />

Note: colours such as orange, yellow and red tend to be a bit thin and therefore require multiple coats to look good - you can improve their coverage by using a brown basecoat like this one.</div>

Note: even with a basecoat, orange can still be a bit thin and streaky. It will depend on the brand of paint and exact shade - Vallejo model colour orange tends to need two coats to look right.</div>

Note: I use Tamiya clear colours for lights - they were developed for car modelers and have a very nice gloss finish. There is also an orange for painting indicators. All of them should be avaialable at your hobby shop, but if they are not, Vallejo inks should work basically the same.</div>

Well, there you go Racing Hippo Fans! It doesn't take long to paint a gaslands team (especially when you realise this is almost two teams worth of cars - most teams have about three) so you can be out on the highways causing havoc within an afternoon! </div>

I've been playing Gaslands for almost a year now, but it's taken until now for me to decide to upload some blog projects. This is partially because everyone will end up with different cars, and partially because it's not that hard to just slap some plasticard armour on a car. What is harder is working out how to build some of that crazy Mishkin weaponry! So here's Grot to explain.</div>

Note: Evergreen styrene tubes come in a range of sizes. They are designed so that the even numbered tubes will nest with the other even numbered tubes, while the odd will nest with the odd. Most of these projects have used No.425 and No.427 as these are nice and small, and a 2.5mm rod will nest nicely inside a No.425 tube. Evergreen's website has an invaluable <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1811/0745/products/EVERGREEN_Round_Tubing_24__Telescoping_01131a81-bcce-42fe-9723-0f5585e0d9e1.jpg?v=1496334555">size chart </a>which will help to plan this sort of project.</div>

Not a great deal got done this afternoon. Things sort of slowed down and I got sidetracked by DVDs. However, some of the mystery surrounding the Shokkjump Dragsta can now be shed.<br />

I like to try to get a huge amount of hobby in over the long weekend - in the past I have actually run a challenge to build, paint and complete a whole model over the course of just this one day. This year, I am scratchbuilding a Shokkjump Dragsta.<br />
Once again, I am not that mad about GW's model. It doesn't really scream 'dragster' - it looks about as heavy as all the other new vehicles, and apart from being on drag slick tyres, it's not really very dragster shaped either. So obviously I have to build one and make it very clearly dragsterish. Also, I get the fun of building a Shokk Reactor. Which I am certainly excited about.<br />

Well, there you go Hippo Fans - I may have been quiet but I have been hard at work.<br />
Stand by for more updates in the next few days.- I have another large Okness bulding on the go and I'm also working on a project for Ishoo Wun-Forteen.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083167865623833339.post-68219816123541356082019-10-01T21:35:00.002+10:002019-10-01T21:36:53.766+10:00Ishoo Wun-Firteen: Planter boxesWow! Two ishoos in a day? That hasn't happened in... I think it happened once before...<br />
While I was working on Orkness Station, I had a bit of spare time waiting for PVA to dry just after I carved the chimney. I was looking at the chimney and thinking that it was a good technique I'd like to showcase in a piece somehow - possibly an ancient dome granary, when I realised there was an easier option - plater boxes. Town councils are always trying to pretty up their public spaces, and no matter what time period, planter boxes seem to fit in. So here's a quick and timeless project. Unleash the eco-freindly Grot!<br />

And there you go! This is a quick, easy and very effective technique. The brick/stone work really stand out at a distance too - I'm sitting across the room from one of these planter boxes (about four meters away) and I can clearly see the individual blocks. This would make a great effect for some sort of ancient and weather beaten building like a witches tower... hmmm... that's got me thinking...</div>

It's been a while since I last posted an ishoo. That doesn't mean I've been idle, it just means I've been working on projects I didn't think were worth making into tutorials. I've been working away at Orkness - my 40K Ork terrain set for quite some time, but since it uses techniques I've covered, I have not turned any of it into ishoos. Until now. Because I discovered something new.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was rummaging around in one of the school art store rooms (probably looking for a HB Pencil for a Yr.7 Viscom kid - I spend a lot of time doing that...) when I found something called 'print foam' on a dark and shadowy shelf. What I hear you cry is Print Foam? Well, it's awesome is what it is. It's basically the core from foamcore without the paper. Which means none of that tedious stripping of paper to get to the good carvable foam surface. So naturally I went to the craft shops to hunt it down. And then I built a whole lot of things with it. I even started an Ishoo, but it was really nothing special (just some stone field walls) and I forgot to take photos of the second half of the project. What I needed was something cool to show of this new material. What I needed wa Orkness Station.</div>

There are actually a few bits and pieces which need a bit of tidy up still, but I wanted to get the ishoo out, so I'm going to fix them up in the morning. I will also try to get some pretty pictures of the recent Orkness projects.</div>

And what is this I see on the horizon? Why it's only the next ishoo arriving hot on the heals of this one!</div>

I was working on an ishoo using a new material I've just discovered, but I went and forgot to take photos of the whole second half because I got too excited by the process. (It wasn't a very fancy ishoo anyway - I'm about to start work on a replacement which used the material and techniques in a more exciting way.)<br />
So anyway, it's school holidays once more in the fair and fairly wet south-east of Victoria so I've been working on more Orkness stuff. I'm almost finished construction on an imperial shrine which the orks have turned into a missile silo (when I say almost completed, I mean only the shrine - I have yet to start the missile) and I dug out a half finished old project which I had cast aside in order to have time to finish it's companion piece for a little wars game. The old project is Mrs. Griselda Primm's Home for Wayward <strike>Girls</strike> Grots. I had the shell done, but it needed a base and details. My original plan involved having a cage hanging off the side, but I decided it would be fragile, so I needed something to fill the space. A billboard seemed to fit the bill. Giant vintage signs and billboards really help set the tone for something like Orkness - a shabby 1950s English seaside resort overrun by Orks (and also 38,000 years in the future). I thought about just downloading a vintage billboard, but then realised I wanted something orky. ENTER ORKA COLA!<br />
In lieu of a proper ishoo, here's a quick guide to how I hand painted the Orka Cola billboard.<br />

All up, painting the sign took about and hour to an hour and a half. Transferring miniature painting skills to painting on a flat surface was not too hard and I found the whole experience quite relaxing. I recommend hand painting murals and signs to all terrainicidal maniacs out there.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com1
