I've never seen something so free-form yet so precise.

"There's no way you made this out of only-- oh wow."

So I was watching the beginning of this video, and said "there's no way that is all cardboard".... holy cow!! it is only cardboard! Great job.

18:40 "I cheeto-blast my entire project here"- hahahahahhaahah

Dude, you fuckin killed it with this. I don't even want to think about the time investment. I almost dont like the video because you've shamed me so thoroughly. When you said what the challenge was I honestly figured you had cut some corners and still used those styrene stairs and some greebles... Here I am trying to work up the gumption to work on my table while I've got a hoard of crafting supplies, bits, 3d printed greebles, and a die cutter. Meanwhile you go and build something indistinguishable from your other builds with just cardboard. It was so unexpected I'm just staggered. I think there are only a few hobby youtubers than bring as much a combination of skill AND effort to their builds as you do. Fuckin well done man and regardless of how the facebook thing goes I hope you're proud of this one because to me you nailed it.

This has to be the most inspirational hobby project on youtube.

the girders are a game-changer. So simple and so effective.

This is a great build (and video)....reading the comments made me realize I was right about your accent. I was always confused by your mentions of NY when I was sure you sounded like you were from Ontario!

This was beautiful mate!

Your creativity is mindblowing.

14:00 This is my favourite part. By recessing that detail box you really sell the depth and scale of this structure. Now I can't un-see the roof as a thick, pipe-laden metal slab. Great work.

This is witchcraft. Best crafting video i ever seen

You are one, if not the best scratch builder on KZfaq. I love low-cost scratch builds. This is excellent! Thank You!

Fantastic job Eric. That's the kind of tutorial which help the community to see that's you don't need a ton a supply or money to build something great!!

Years later this remains one of my favourite videos you have ever done. I keep coming back to it for reference.

I see something like this and looks at my cardboard structures and just think "heck". I think what really sets yours a league apart are all the small parts and perfect cuts. I see now the value in precise measurements.

The non-slip grip on the steel ruler is a cool idea. The terrain piece is amazing.

I really love that Eric started adding more colour to his builds! Really love how they look!

Wow. That is really impressive. Nice to see that inexpensive materials can look absolutely amazing when a lot of skill and effort is applied.

Was pulled in by the cool thumbnail. was sold by the refferance to wylock. Love the work dude

It takes unbelievable talent to see so much potential when you look at an old cereal box!

As somebody who used to be heavily into papercraft some years ago i love this build in so damn many levels! Every terrain builder should watch this even if they never plan on doing anything on these lines :D The only thing i'd change if i ever decided to make something like this for me (and i had the storage space, right now i'm instead in need to free up a lot of it), would be to give it a different, cleaner, less super-rusty paintjob, because the rest looks so damn professional that i honestly can find no fault at all, there's commercial terrain that doesn't look this good!

Eric, man, this is on another level. Best build video so far, and that's saying a lot! Everything you do is great but you still manage to get better every time, even your editing is getting really good! At the end with the lazy susan shot, the timing of the zoom and the speed-up with the music hit was perfect! As far as the build, man, where to start. A lot of build videos I can pay half-attention to and get everything they're doing, but literally you have so much information coming through so seamlessly all the time, I can't help but stay rapt. I think with a build like this especially, but even just when scratch-building generally, being able to have time-savers is absolutely critical, not only because time is limited, but it's easy to get frustrated when things take forever, or don't go together well, so having tricks to make a great bit quickly really helps re-energize, and I think that the railing with the hole punch and the q-tips was an absolute winner as far as that goes. I really like your attention to depth and dimensionality, with the recessed door, the vent & pipe box sub-assemblies, and the support girders. Every piece you make always looks plausible, like it's not just built as a gaming terrain piece, but hints strongly at initial function, as well as a story of usage after the fact. Anyway sorry for casting Wall of Text but in summary, 10/10 grand slam! Keep up the good work!

Your projects keep getting better and better. I found this episode particularly inspiring though. Getting the results you do from household items and a stack of chipboard is absolutely top quality. A+ planning went into this and it shows. As always, looking forward to the next one!

Man, consider my hat well and truly doffed. Looks so damn awesome.

Awesome piece of terrain sir. Amazing that it's just paper! You need to do a video showing us a full table setup sometime with all your custom pieces. Take care!

This is amazing! Came here from the painting phase interview. I'm returning to the hobby after like 15 years. When I was a kid I always loved people's terrain craft projects, but never really did anything proper myself. This is inspiring me to try it out!

when people ask me where I get my ideas ad inspiration from I tell them to go and check guys like yourself out. to say this is all cardboard it's stunning well done Great build

Wow, when you brought out the toothbrush and started scrubbing that masking paint off to create the chipping effect... I was blown away. I have never even thought to do something like that, and it turned out to look so incredible! Got yourself a new subscriber in me, awesome stuff!

Crazy good project! Looking at the old thumbnail I would not have guessed it is all cardboard!

You... Absolutely.... Crushed it...

I love those futuristic sliding doors. Some day, people will be kicking themselves for throwing away pocket doors from old buildings. This is awesome, and I like how you just roll with whatever comes up, like covering that cylinder.

Another solid build from a solid guy! Keep the builds coming Eric!

You are an artist in every sense of the word. Amazing!

As Mr Tracy so eloquently put it, "You f-ing killed it!" This is an awesome piece of terrain.

Eric is the best at rust on KZfaq.

Eric knocking it out of the park again! I hope you have a lot of storage space for your amazing builds.

This is truly some insane, next-level creativity. Truly inspirational! Great vids.

You just showed me, with enough time given we couldnt set a big enough challenge. This was mindblowing in its creativity and resourcefulness.

Absolutely stunning!

Fantastic looking project Eric! As many have already commented, the attention to detail and creative use of materials is really inspiring. My particular favourite parts are the recessed details, it adds a whole extra dimension to the build IMO

Dawm Eric, this terrain is awesome. I cant get enough from this Videos. Please more!!!!!!!

Yeah truly impressive So worth the wait!

Masterclass right there. Bloody brilliant.

This is a little masterclass, thank you for sharing it you magnificent bastard

This is your best build yet, totally smashed it and looks incredible =)

Holy cow this is amazing!

Absolutely outstanding. Inspiring.

Una vez más, un trabajo increible. Fácil de hacer, materiales económicos y un resultado espectacular.

Blue yeti, stepping up in the production value! Nicely done!

It looks great! Thanks for sharing this.

so awesome. i love the light at the end

I feel like this is the kind of project that would benefit grratly from some LED lights, nonetheless, a great build Eric, and I hope you won the contest!

"Cheeto-blast" is now my favorite term... :)

Dude. This is above and beyond. Really incredible work.

Absolutely incredible man... Thanks for the inspiration

Another great master piece!! If you ever get into Star Wars Legion I'd love to see what kind of terrain youll do! I truly am a fan of your work!

Hey Eric, been subscriber for awhile, and love the vids. Alene's tacky glue is all I ever use personally, and IMO it's much better than Elmer's white glue. It's tackiness helps keep mess down, isn't too runny, and has been sucked right up by foam board and especially chip board. So I say use it up, bud! 💪

This is absolutely fantastic Eric.

Love watching these while doing my own stuff. Gets me in the zone.

Wow. You nailed it. You nailed it hard. I am playing Tabletop Games since Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition. I watch all them KZfaqrs: Wyloch, Tabletop Engineer, Black Magic Craft, Terrain Tutor, ... I have seen lots of stuff in my time but what you did here... AWESOME! This is just awesome. How long did that take you?!

Now I can show my wife why I've been saving cereal boxes and tp tubes for 12 years...

This is amazing work! What a legend.

gods that's so good. i really love the way it turned out.

This is astounding. It's like the early "how to make wargames terrain" book projects I started with as a kid grew up with a serious glow up! Inspiring stuff. I'm curious, do you have plans (well, let's be real; ideas) for all that foil now that you've separated it from the roll?

Nah man that’s the rust map from MW2 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Absolutely slaying it!

Absolute wonderful craftsmanship. An amazing piece.

Amazing as always! I love all your builds. Your skill is out of this world.

Excellent work, again you nail it!!!!! Great work

This is still by far one of my favorite build videos. It literally served as the inspiration point for me to start collecting junk around my house for some builds of my own. I cannot thank you enough, when my son is older, I should have enough terrain for endless Slum wars :D

So rad! I love that little streetlight LED too!

Wow. That is bonkers man. Bravo

This is so dope, so many ideas I would have never thought of

This is INCREDIBLE! man so many amazing ideas! just WOW! Bravo

Finished product is just 👌 Well done

Wow... amazing process.

I'm impressed brother. Thank you!

Excellent build. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Another amazing scene, Eric!

What an absolutely Incredible build !!! Amazing work

Just one word : amazing!

That looks crazy good - Great job!

Excellent work man! Inspiring.

Looks amazing

Your builds always make me want to push more with my projects. Great piece as always

Brilliant! Awesome! The Effort and the outcome ratio is insane! Well done

SO many great little ideas packed in here....

Wow. Incredible job, that was inspiring.

WOW Just WOW!!! You are one talented man!

This is so inspiring! Thank you.

Amazing job! Looks awesome.

Perhaps the best terrain build I've seen Great work

Eric it is refreshing to watch every video you share with us. Keep up the great job!

I thank you for the countless seconds of useful information, very saucy and ripe~

this is so satisfying to watch and an amazing piece too, awesome

It's simply amazing! I've learned a lot!

Every video you make, and every build you create just seems to get better and better. This was an obvious time-sink, but the results are just spectacular. Well done, mate.

DUDE! You are extremly talented!! I love your vids!

This is so inspiring, knowing that this epic terrain can be built with only cardboard is immense! Thank you in bunches!
