It's beyond frustrating you have so few views. Amazing videos.

Um, well - guess I finally found a use for my sprues!!!! THANK YOU!!! :D

Dremel is your friend! Would be great for smoothing cobblestones!

lovely and wicked and skillfull idea lol. cheers for sharing

I personally love how some simple sprue can help you get so much more personality into a base. Thanks for sharing as always :D

Actually, this will probably the way to go for me to do the new Warhammer Quest: Cursed City bases. Aweseome, and thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you this is genius

I love this idea and look. I think I'm going to try this out on my Warhammer Quest: Cursed City Box. Thanks for all you put out there!

Your videos are always so satisfying to watch. Thank you.

Super cool instruction vid! Keep on!

Just found your channel and have been loving your content!

i knew it had to be a swede making these level of quality tutorials

Thanks man! There I was trying to sculpt tiny bricks out of green stuff, when there was a sprue sitting there right under my nose!

Great video! I realllly like this more casual presentation style where its just you speaking extemporaneously! The bases look sooo good! I've always wanted that cobblestone look but neither sculpting nor styrene sheets got quite the look I wanted. Cheers

What a cool idea! I'm glad i didn't throw away all those sprue leftovers

So much content! Great video

These look great! Gonna be perfect for when I start working on my cursed city set. Cheers from Canada!

I don't know why I enjoyed this format so much, but here we are. Good idea's here mate thanks alot. I have kept all my sprues from 2 armies, I have alot of spru, always good to hear of new ways not to make it trash.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Baking powder is bicarbonate mixed with a weak acid, usually citric acid so that it instantly releases CO2 when it gets wet. Pure soda is definitely better for our purposes.

Thank you for the cool idea! My Mordheim carnival will like those bases very much!

I'd been sculpting/pressing the rows into a das/pva mix on the base using bits of brass tube I'd formed the ends of into different sized/shaped squares and rectangles to make irregular and repeating patterns depending. It's quick once you get used to doing it, and more importantly how to smooth/round the edges. I lightly go along the lines with a tooth pick cut off to the ideal diameter and the smooth it over with a wet cotton pad. Used to have to alternate the two till I got it to look right but now I can get most of a base right in one pass. I'm going to love combining both, especially to put archways on my walls, and once I've shaved some sprues down to a regular stone/brick size (even easier to cut) I'm going to love making cotton wool explosions with bricks and window frames erupting through them to place around buildings and walls that have been under fire for a while, for WW2. Will make nice "pinned" markers

These are gorgeous! May try a snowy version for my thunderpuppies :)

Free and effective. Good technique.

I love that you reuse your sprues and keep less plastic going into landfill... I use them for bricks and chop them up and put them into a jar with acetone to make sprue goo which is awesome for all kinds of things from basing to moulding small items and gluing plastic and resin...another great video thank you 😊👍

nice video, I always like your content. This is an old one and I'm glad it popped up

I've been doing something similar but using the bottoms of old plastic takeaway containers. Cut them into little square-ish shards and they make great slate-looking slabs.

Awesome idea. I will definitely be trying this out on my Mordheim Witch Hunters.

Hey that cobblestone looks really good! Thanks for the tip :) Now to slice a million sprues...

Love the sounds. In general your videos have this really calm and soothing atmosphere :D

Thanks for the great tips on using leftover sprues. Also, this video triggered memories of my home economics teacher lecturing about the differences between baking soda and baking powder. Probably doesn't matter if it's not going in your mouth, though.

Really solid idea. Just used it for a squad of warhammer deamons Thanks so much for taking the time to make this vid. So helpful.

One point i really like , is the light ambiant , is like clair obscure ,i like it !and Real good video !

I have kept all of my sprues and as an age of sigmar and bloodborne fan im definitely going to try this.

Just before I started my first army I found this. It's awesome, They'll look awesome with your tutorial. Thanks!!

"Your not supposed to take this into the shower when your partners showering, sorry that's a movie", Hahaha brilliant placed piece of humor. Nice video and idea, I might try this out on some small character bases. Thanks for the inspiration. I have also subbed & looking forward to more ideas like this.

Been looking for an "easy" way to make cobblestone bases. Got 20 rats in line for them, and this seems definitely like one of the better ways. Thanks man, earned a new sub! ;)

You can carve rock and stones as well.

That is a fabulous idea

Heck ya. Find a purpose for the leftovers!

Not sure how I haven't heard of your channel before now, but thank you! This was fantastic. Liked and subscribed.

Awesome technique! I didn´t see this. It´s a great way and a realistic finish!. Thanks!

Awesome technique, these bases look amazing. Love the painting on them as well! Great channel, one of my favourites now.

oh boy, it's amazing! love your work!

Very helpfull video. I had been usng sprue pieces as bricks for walls before, but this is an even better use. I had liked and subscribed less than halfways into the video. Will recommend it to my friends.

What an amazing idea, I have only one question, why use a kitchen knife instead of a good x-acto knife?

cracking idea but if I can ask why don't you use clippers instead of a chef's knife to cut them?

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Great idea. Subbed.

Brilliant nice one

Technically, in English, baking powder ≠ baking soda-baking powder has cornstarch and cream of tartar in it, too. I don't know if that matters in this application, but it seems to be a common point of confusion, and I imagine that baking powder is somewhat more likely to do something chemical and unintended(?).

Inspired

Great Video as always. I love basing tricks

You gotta do voice work man, that tone, you’d be amazing.

This is an excellent tip, thanks!! Unquestionable results. I've been trying to pay more attention to my bases, so will certainly be using this and digging into my sprue mountain (this must be what I've been saving them for) a little extra work on the bases seems to make a big difference. Also I laughed when I saw your set of files, I have two sets of that exact file set, never seen anyone else with them. However I find I almost exclusively use the half-round file and rarely use any of the others. Not sure why and I wonder if it is the same with other people.

Super👍😀

Upvoted for the knife

Thank you for this tutorial. Now I know what theme to use for my Cities of Sigmar warbands.

awesome, great idea. i have used many materials in my dioramas, that would have otherwise been thrown away. Let us be creative, i love this hobby. greetings from Belgium Franky

Great Idea and recycling plastic waste plus it looks great! -- I will giving this go on my next characters base.

Chair needs oiling. Good video. Fro australia

good jorb

Great video - how is this channel not bigger????

i dont have the stuff to make the paste you use for in between the pieces is there another way to gain that affect?

Came looking for copper and found gold.

would this fit in with aos or not?

I did the stupid thing and tried doing this from memory, yeh, it didn't turn out well, now I've covered my sins with vallejo texture paint. I can get away with it narratively, it's the wargaming equivalent of finding a Roman mosaic...

Ah, Nordic dry humour just... SPRUCES this up (Hush, I somehow keep calling 'em spruces instead sprues)

I have 2 words for you: exacto knife. Thank me later

This is a good video but man I can tell you’re not used to this kind of thing yet plus it was more focused on you and less the base making.

show us only your hands my friend , we dont need to see your funny face :)
