Lol, I have the exact same stuff on the way from anycubic. :-D

You should totally combine this with your walls and have a city siege

People who get the distinction between grotesque and gargoyle will always get a like from me

I've been on the lookout for lots of gargoyles recently too. It almost feels like you're inside my head! Great looking ruins Eric!

Nice tip on the zip ties to hide the foam core.

A cool detail to add color would be a few shards of dirty stained glass shards sticking out or in the rubble at the base

Be careful with that gorilla glue buddy!!! Also WOW... this really is awesome, the old and the new work together so dang well. :-)

The marble technique was great

The Cable Tie on the side is unironically a game changer never thought or saw that in my life

Love the results, just don't get too attached to the printer... You're an important figure in the Court of the Scratchbuilder's League of Extraordinary Personalities

I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to comment on this vid. That's some ace modelling right there!

Excellent blend of resources! I have a pile of windows but had not even thought of attempting gargoyles. Awesome!

This is exactly how I see the real benefit to 3D printing. Sure you can just print minis to paint. But the options for digital kitbashing make your ability to go anywhere with your ideas so much easier. Great to see someone on KZfaq embracing printing this way!

That marble floor is really cool. Mmmmm... corbels.

I like that you got the use of Gargoyle and Grotesque correct. Most people just call them all Gargoyles.

Enjoying the humour. You've definitely upped your funny guy game.

love the ziptie idea on the side of the roof!

Brother, that tile is incredible!

"I don't want it to be a snagging hazard" says the man about a building with a bajillion gargoyles/grotesques ;P

If you want chipped / broken pieces in future, maybe try and break them *before* putting them in the curing oven? As far as I know, the resin should be softer at this stage and more easily breakable. Another idea would be: make a mold from your resin piece (as someone else suggested) but pour plaster in there instead of resin. That should be easily breakable. Awesome build btw!

That marble floor method blew my mind. It looks so good!

This is exactly why I want a 3D printer for my own hobby crafts.

I think 2021 is the zenith of creativity it's like the 1980's all over again. All you guys are really bringing it hard this year so far.

This is a great example of how to incorporate 3d printing into scratch built terrain. Thanks for sharing!

Oh man I LOVE the marble floor technique, I have got to try it out sometime myself

For rubble I’ve found plaster of Paris poured into a flat container then broken with a hammer or dropped onto a concrete floor (just sweep up after) make for great and cheap (as well as realistic for that matter) rubble for buildings. You can mix in some grey craft paint (I suggest a light grey) before it cures for a realistic look (also includes its own dust!)

"PC Load Letter, what the fuck does that mean?" Ah, the office space reference gave me a chuckle, such an underrated classic

This has to be my favorite build yet. The 3d printed elements knock this thing out of the park!

I love the fact that you called it a grotesque and not a gargoyle because you are right it's a grotesque. No water, drain, etc...

I Just got this exact pair, 3 days in and I am LOVING IT!!

This is undoubtedly the best homemade "sci-fi ruined building" tutorial out there. There are a LOT of different videos that talk about making ruined buildings out of foam core, but I found that the end product of nearly all of those videos look exactly the same. I'm sure that those conventional buildings serve their purpose on the gaming table, but none of those videos wound up making a building which didn't look distinctly "home made out of basic craft materials," and I suppose that's to be expected when everyone out there is using similar materials and techniques to achieve their goals. I understand that 3D printing is still a luxury for many hobbyists, and that the inclusion of this technology might be prohibitive for many. However, you've demonstrated that the sparing inclusion of certain details like windows, corbels and statues elevate that same basic scratch-built structure used in so many previous crafting tutorials into a totally different result, a that result is exponentially more impressive than using basic crafting materials alone. As the owner of a resin 3D printer, it always irked me that I can print incredible miniatures, but the larger terrain files that come in so many of my monthly subscriptions wind up collecting dust on my hard drive due to how prohibitively expensive it would be to print larger structures in resin. This video proves that you don't need to print the whole thing to make an incredible terrain piece, and you can save your resin just for the interesting details while still building the majority of the structure with basic crafting techniques. This is the tutorial, and inspiration, I was looking for.

That bag trick... gonna steal that one. THANKS!

Nice Office Space reference. Great looking build.

this looks fantastic

If you have any left over marble tiles you could use them to make loose or broken tiles in the ruble. Great build.

Construction adhesive... Finally someone who appreciates the stuff as much as I do! Sticks, fills gaps and you can even sculpt with it to a certain degree!

I like everything but the Gargoyles. Depends on the durability. However the mix of 3d printing and foamcore/windows/sides are 10/10. Great work with the weathering and exposed floor

16:33 that marble floor looks amazing! It gives a real suggestion of opulence that matches the detailed exterior.

it sells "THE VIBE" so damn well

I swear, anycubic sends 3d printers to all of the terrain crafters. It's like they have a spreadsheet tracking you guys and gals subs and once a certain # is hit, in the post it goes.

Ooooh love the idea of zip ties as easy peasy texture to cover the foamcore edges! Genius!

The 'kitbashing' grotesques in ChiTuBox and MeshMixer looked really fun

This is how I end up making a giant tables worth of city ruins. Such a cool idea mixing the different techniques together rather than falling into the old grudge match. Really great edit too!

The tiles are awesome. Keep the builds coming Eric. Loving it!

Those marble tiles! That rebar! I love this construction. (Of course, I would have left it pink and green, but to each his own.) Congrats on a fantastic video!

Love the office quote! Keep up the good work man!

17:21 you can really feel the tension building! Eric really knows how to make a crafting video exciting!

3D printing opens up quick options for highly detailed builds. The downside is they don't need the same kind of ingenuity to use, so use them sparingly or make sure you maintain your traditional hand-crafting skills and ingenuity for by specifically taking on challenging projects and NOT using the 3d printer. I loved the tiles you made, by the way. Excellent!

Watching your videos and skills grow is a joy, learning alot on the way too.

You've changed the entire game. You genuis.

That marble paint job was the star of the show!

Out standing job there. I bet with a bit of design work you could print out the broken pieces of the gargoyles and grotesques right from the get go.

I loved how multi level was this piece and how every little detail is amazing!

I really appreciate your videos man, they really bring me so much happiness even when I feel the worst

1:55 i can relate, too many choices!!

Nice Office Space reference!

Make scatter pieces of rubble piles that you can use to surround the building or fill the floors with to make it impassible terrain

Another awesome build, great work as usual Eric!

3d Printing opens up so many possibilities for your builds excited to see what you come up with!

Dude, you're builds are so good! I'm always entertained, educated and inspired when I watch your vids. Cheers!!!

I think this is the way forward. You can knock out spectacular terrain in short time. Thanks for the inspiration.

Y’all ever just snap out of an anxiety attack when I see a new terrain video from Eric

Awesome piece of work, Eric. Hats off to you!

1:20 *you are low on MAGENTA*

Great job. You make this seem so effortless. I love the fearless creativity you have when doing your builds.

Love this I have the same printer plus 4 cr10’s and I have stocked up on windows ,doors,fences and gates I don’t know what I would have done without the resin printer it has changed my game big time.

Dude you have really upped your craft!!!

That tile technique is mind blowingly simple.

Absolutely amazing as always!

Outstanding work on this building! This was a great tutorial with some really neat ideas. Thanks for sharing this.

Amazing. Ive started to make terrain after binge watching your videos. I have a 3D printer, I didnt even think I could do this with it. And it fits so well with my Night Lords army theme! Amazing!!

Bonus points for best marble i've seen done in minutes!

Awesome! Really Awesome! I wan't to see more of this Ruins.

This looks amazing!!!! I really like this technique of 3D printed details to easily boost the look. Also that marble dude...that marble 😍

Looks amazing! best ruins Ive seen!

Wow this is on a level above stuff you have done previously; just goes to show that if you use the tool of 3D printing well, it enables you to really strut your stuff as an artist!

Great mix of 3D printing and traditional crafting! Most people would've made the entire project out of 3D printing. Im glad you showed that by combining the two makes for an awesome effect! My wife is going to hate me for wanting one now. I will blame you 100% for showing how good the end results are! Plus now the prices are dropping on reliable machines!

jeez. possibly one of the most detailed WH40k buildings I've ever seen lol very nice!

Great video. Really clever way to incorporate 3d printing and scratch building and very well executed.

Absolutely awesome. Just fantastic from start to finish. Great details, commentary, tips, and camera work. This was inspirational, and it was timely, given that I'm 3D printing greebles and converting a pile of collected junk into 40k terrain currently.

What a soothing build. Fantastic work.

Great looking build! I really like the integration of the 3d printed parts into scratch-build frameworks, I think it represents and excellent opportunity to get a lot of fast value from both methods, identical corbels would be a nightmare to make by hand, and flat walls take forever and are expensive and wasteful to print. Really interested to see how this ties into your building methods going forward, keep up the great work!

I've been doing this for awhile (print details and add them to foam or other basic structures) and I love it. Super excited to see if you keep going with this method and what you do!

I love you for knowing the difference between grotesques and gargoyles. Thank you for that.

Stunning build!

Thats a whole next level. Looks awesome. Good techniques and your video format rocks.

Lots of fantastic tips in here! Great vid :)

Ah man, with the amount of viable Night Lord proxies out there you're gonna love printing. And damn that's some amazing scenery! 👍

Awesome looking building. And I also learned something that can be transferred to miniature basing with the marble floor. So extra thanks for that :-)

Epic looks on this one!

Looks incredible!

Just beautiful, truly an amazing build man!

Dude this looks so good!

This is absolutely epic! As a newbie in terrain building you inspire me a lot :)

That is some fantastic tile. Always impressed with your methods, man.

Wow, this looks fantastic!

Omg this is epic. Great work dude, soo much inspiration! Love your vids!

Fabulous. And I guess I need a 3D printer now! 🤗

Gurg is happy with show

Amazing!
