 Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby-cheating video today. We're gonna have a lot of fun We're gonna do another basing video and it's time for some industrial waste bases so Let's get into it The strict techno man sir that is Vincy V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vincy V style Penny here is a big fan of industrial waste basing in general So she's gonna help me out with this tutorial But basically what we're gonna do is we're gonna start off by grabbing a bunch of random bits materials and just things that are interesting My key with basing is always a sort of nose-to-tail philosophy We're gonna use everything we can not your nose tail. Don't worry. You're you're fine And instead we're gonna try to throw it all together and make a jumbled mess of a base And the reason for that is because when we have this sort of Industrial landscape this wrecked wasteland of something that used to be civilization We want there to be layer upon layer of stuff Things that have existed these creations of man that aren't nature itself And they all just sit on top of each other so What do you think? She agrees Let's make ourselves a fun industrial waste base first off. I've got these little bits these little floor panels from Some kind of GW terrain got a bag of sandbags always useful Because people lived here and might have used it various cogs and gears you can buy these in bulk from eBay and Amazon in places We've got the little tip protectors for your paintbrushes always save those those are perfect in scale pipes This is some random circuit board guts from inside some piece of technology that died and I broke apart as well as an old phone cable Not really going to be using that anymore to do any dial up 56k modem action But the cable is good because I can strip it and take out the tiny cables and use them as in scale Cable pieces and of course we've also got some rocks of various size As well as things like sand and grit and stuff like that So I don't know what all we're gonna use but let's start by making ourselves some more vertical space to mess around with here So we're just gonna take some cork and and chop it up now We don't actually want to let the cork really show anywhere. We're gonna be covering most of this up But it's just there to give us some height some verticality Then I start chopping up these pieces It won't matter if the edges look a little rough because they're gonna be end up having dirt on them and rusted and Stippled and other crap laying over the top of them. So we're just trying to break up the shapes make them a little less Regular and see how they they fit on there This figure happens to be that that will probably end up putting on here happens to be like leaping forward So I'm actually doing this a part of an angle normally I'd be trying to make a flat space for the figure to stand but this figure is in a sort of forward motion So I just kind of cut these into place until I find a way that they all kind of sit together that I think looks Cool and and we'll give us something to play with Then we start playing around with a little gears. This is just more or less for like industrial ways Store or something like that You know machinery obviously these are tiny little watch gears like I said I just bought these all you know in bulk various sizes off of eBay, but you can also Find all sorts of things made for craft kits and stuff like that you know little tiny jewelers and Dollhouse pieces and things like that actually do work great because they're sort of meant to be in Scale automatically to to what we're doing and how big is a gear? Well, I mean if it's on an industrial machine, it could be truly massive, right? So that's one of the fun things about this is they make gears that fit in your watch and gears that fit on giant machines And they're they're all basically the same Exact shape and construction so you can be a little creative with it But I'm just trying to shove these things in at weird angles Part of the key here is to make sure that all of this stuff lays on top of each other It has to build up and feel as though This was some kind of construction Something that existed in the world where you had you know ground and earth and floor and pipes and wires and you know Stuff sitting in the the building that collapsed or whatever, right? It's society civilization builds things in layers and so when all of that breaks apart and you get this you know Heavy industrial sort of wasteland type of vibe you want that to all be broken up and mixed in with each other So I'm trying to make sure that there are pipes coming out the sort of front and the back That that might have at one time, you know been heating pipes or or something like that or coolant pipes Maybe it was warm. Maybe it was cold. Who knows only Katy Perry But then stuff like this this nice little piece broken off of the circuit board. What a great-looking weird industrial Thing this is like scaled up some kind of maybe turbine or something. I don't know who knows But this is the next thing You can just play around with it kind of move the pieces around as you get them You'll see I'm often test fitting things. I'm not sure exactly where I want the thing to go Just kind of play with multiple places There's actually quite a lot of room when you're building up like this to pack this stuff in together And so you can just really see hey what looks cool try it in different positions different angles With my telephone cable here I just stripped the the rubber off and then get the two smaller cables from underneath and then bang bang We've got some awesome Cabling that we can run around this is actually a great trick if you ever want to add cables to your your robots or your miniatures or to terrain So if you've got like a let's say an MDF building And you want to make it look more realistic adding You know this kind of small cabling to the side of the building which is pretty easy if you just you know Find an old cable or old piece of technology around your house strip it out and then take out the cables And you're good to go you can get tons and tons of feet of cables way more than you'll ever use on most modeling projects And once you kind of have it bent to shape we just kind of glue it in We're also going to go ahead and lock in that like a little sandbag here You know something that's just again interesting. Maybe it wasn't a military sandbag, but maybe it was Something that was like a weight For something on the floor here When this was actually a physical place just more things to break up the space Once I'm happy with all my accoutrements. It's time to start adding sort of rocks and things like that So I'm just spreading around this heavy grit first I always start with the heavier rocks just to get them in there and kind of base down And then using a brush that I am going to absolutely that I just throw away after I'm done here I spread some super glue Around on the various parts and then that's where I put on my sand and dirt and stuff like that So you want to make sure all that's filled in all that has texture, you know to cover up the base Once it's all primed as you can see it comes right together. So now let's paint this bad boy Industrial Stuff is obviously gonna have a lot of metal Which is great because it gives us a chance to do a bunch of heavy weathering and means we can just make this a fun relaxing paint project So we're just starting with of course laying down some of some Vallejo metal color steel Just turning all this stuff metal that I want to be metal. No no big deal there Once I've got everything I want metal I then get some copper in the mix because we want different types of metals in here We're gonna weather these both differently and chop them up and the whole thing's gonna be pretty grungy and grimy Because I'm assuming this is all giant collapsed infrastructure So it would be quite dirty and rusted and burned out So we we we can totally bring in that grim dark vibe a pretty hard as we go on but first we got to establish some base tones Now when it comes to the earth, I'm not going to focus too hard on Trying to get a good blend at this point But I just use the two different colors of brown one very light one very dark And I just start mixing different amounts of it and wet blending it up Using the lighter color earth up top in the higher parts of the dirt using the darker mix at the bottom Just moving around swiftly wet blending to my heart's content. Just turning things brown The individual colored elements like the cable I'm gonna go ahead and hit now because I want that to be weathered over the top That is to say I want to You know have this cable look like it's also muddy dirty filthy stuff Once I put on all my my grime Speaking of grime. Oh my new favorite rattling grime. I love this stuff. It's it's Doesn't dry super dark. It goes on super dark, but it doesn't dry super dark But like when you when you put it on between its application and its actual complete dried Boy, is there a difference but that being said we're gonna we're gonna invoke and channel our best Richard gray impression here Because I wipe off my brush and then go straight into contrast medium and just start Solution it all around and I am just gonna flood they're gonna slather this miniature like a barbecue wing With contrast medium just to make sure that all that rattling grime is running down in the recesses Getting nice and dark down in those areas really seeping in I don't want it sitting on anything And then I just start subtracting it off So I start wiping it once I get it all spread around and then just start wiping it off the flat areas on my paper towel And you can see it gives us a really nice patina, but still collects all that darkness down in the lower areas With that done we just apply a little dry brush of sorts to the cork We want to pop out some of that metal show some places where there's Scritches and scratches even though it's old metal if somebody's literally walking across it because there's gonna be feet on it There will be places where the edge still glints or where there's still be some kind of light and stipple and scratches of the Of the fresh steel, so we just kind of put that all over the place to To create that that vibe. I probably should have stopped to this before I Kept going but hey, whatever there you can see how much I actually did Then we get out some Garagax sewer my other favorite new contrast paint And we're just gonna tint a bunch of stuff rusty give it that Oxidized patina over all not all but over a lot of that steel One of the keys with these is as you paint it don't worry if you make mistakes Just let it roll off you like water off of maybe a dog's back Don't worry about the fact that you're you might make some paint mistakes or stuff like that as you continue on you can Weather you can rust you can vertigree you can add more dust You can do you can throw pigment on top you can do whatever the point is there's always another step There's always another layer. There's always another chance to correct your mistake, so Let's keep painting All right, so with that done then it's time to apply the heavier rust So this is Vallejo dry rust which is a actually has texture in it You can just mix some dark paint with dark pigment if you want to make your own at home But here I'm just using the actual product just to reinforce Some of that darker rust in there and really get some of those spaces real grungy and grimy And of course I want to show some fresh rust But I want to I want there to be a general patina of the orange before I get in and do the like little stipples and spots So we're gonna use some contrast magma draw flame, which is a wonderful orange for Doing older rust it looks again really super bright when you first put it on but when it dries on the dark and brown It's not very strong at all. This was something new I wanted to try which is taking the green stuff world fluorescent orange pigment Which is really bright and mixing it in with the contrast to see if I could get a nice rust effect with some actual texture And sure enough it did exactly what I hoped it would do So I'm gonna experiment with this more in the future But mixing in that super bright fluorescent pigment with the with the actual contrast paint produced a pretty cool result So more on that in the future Getting in some Nurtles rot to show some leaky pipes where whatever coolant or stuff was in there again Just trying to layer all these things on top of each other And I've popped up some really bright colors here at the end. We've got some vertigris on the copper We've got this bright orange. We've got this green Nothing too unbelievably strong nothing too saturated, but I want there to be some visual interest some color in the space I don't want it to all just be grungy brown I do still want it to have some visual appeal But if you ever go too far or knock your colors up too high And you do want it to look weaker a little bit of agrax earth shade at the end can just take everything right back down and smooth it out And so here what I'm doing is a more controlled application to just create shadows And tone back some of those colors because I want it to be punchy But not all the way and then that last step that sweet sweet Sweet Abaddon black base rim It's a good time even when you're just painting the base. Alright, there we go. The base is all done now We've got to find a figure to put on top of this so We'll see what we can do for that for the future But for now we have a nice base to set for an industrial wasteland that's been wrecked and ruined It was a lot of fun to make this. I hope you enjoyed it.
