Building Hills with White Foam and some Thanks

[HIGHMARSHELHELBRECHT]

hey it is quicker to use a hot wire

i only use a car battery, jumpers and fuse wire

I know you've got all 6 vids up now, but I started with this one to see your process. Looks good from what I can tell. If you live nearby a 'Michael's', I recommend a hot wire cutter. About $10-20 (save a 40% off coupon usually attached to the receipt to purchase it) and will save your knives from hell.

Also, I recommend coming up with a shorter intro for most of your vids. I've got a 30 second one introducing my channel, but 5 or 6 seconds is good for an all encompassing intro. Keep it up!

Also... If you know how to do it, I would string together 'How-To' vids and things like that into a Playlist. It will help save hours (exaggeration) of headaches from your subscribers in trying to locate certain videos... especially if you get up to terrainaholic's vid count. 

[VividAdventures2010]

@DaemonWargaming Yeah I did try that once with one of my early series. I will have to see about lining up a few like that again. As far as the hot wire foam cutter, I have thought about it but I really don't make enough to justify the purchase just yet. I also like my intro and don't have any immediate plans to change it. Thanks for you input though man!

[TwoSmokingBolters]

Great vid man,terrain is fun to make and it brings another level of fun to the game.good luck can't wait to see more.lol

[VividAdventures2010]

@TwoSmokingBolters Thanks for keeping up with me bro. As you know the last couple of weeks have been rather busy for so many of us including yourself. Its been hard finding time to put some projects and videos together.

[NavyRadman]

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see the final result.

[VividAdventures2010]

@NavyRadman Thanks Radman. Sorry I missed some comments last week. Looks like YouTube is having trouble notifying me of new comments again. lol

[ratlesnake316]

don't mention it :D

[Generalsplatton]

Cool, looking forward to seeing more!

[VividAdventures2010]

@Generalsplatton Thanks for checking it out bud! I ran into a bump with the goop recipe last night so project got put on hold until I work out the details on that. lol

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cool buddy.

[VividAdventures2010]

@MarneusAugustaCalgar Thanks! I do have some of the cool GW Terrain pieces ordered but wanted to do a little bit of hills and such with foam and see how they come out. These are definitely practice. I have some good pink foam waiting to be used but this stuff is dirt cheap to mess up for now. lol

Bummer that you didn't feel well over the holiday weekend...I've built a lot of work benches through the years and I have found that putting a skin of 1/8 hardboard (screwed not glued) to the top allows you to abuse it over time and easily and inexpensively replace it when needed...congrats on the growing subs...with your tutorials, I think you will see that continue to grow...Jim.

[VividAdventures2010]

@Jedijim252 Thanks for checking in Jim! That is a great idea on the hardboard top for my workbench! I just might look into that before I end up completely destroying my current top. lol

[terrainoob]

Interested to see how the white foam turns out after painting. I tend to stay away from that stuff because it makes such a hideous mess, and I don't have a lot of luck painting it.

[VividAdventures2010]

@terrainoob Yeah cutting it is a nightmare to clean up! I think with a good goop mix though the end product should come out decent. Unfortunately, my first attempt at the goop recipe failed last night. I am on the lookout for another recipe or where I can find silicone free caulking. lol

[vanhammer73]

[VividAdventures2010]
