Did you know you don't need ANY tools to build some AMAZING modular foam ruins?! In this video I show you how I made these superb XPS foam ruins with no fancy tools whatsoever. These foam ruins are so easy to make! They're perfect for Warhammer, Age of Sigmar, Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game or Dungeons and Dragons.

Bloody hell Ben. Just when I promise myself that I don’t need to buy any more stuff, I now need to buy the floor tiles kits and the foam bricks kit. Goddammit!! 😂

@@BenjisHobbies I do have a question for you; With such thin MDF bases, did you experience any warping with the base at all? I have heard of MDF Sealer spray that can prevent warping and protect the MDF.

This is fantastic. My oldest boy is getting into miniatures, D&D, and painting and this would be an idea project for him. Will have to find out if they ship to Australia. Would love to surprise him with this set.

That setup looks great especially with the matching floor tiles on your new board. I’ve bought from firedragon in the past but it looks like the have added a few new items. You are a life saver with that home made wash, I’ve been going through Agrax and Nuln at an alarming to my wallet rate. I’ll definitely be giving that a go.

@BenjisHobbies Жыл бұрын

When I got the kit I didn’t realise that the floor tiles matched, but it’s a really nice feature! They’re a great resource if you’re short on time or don’t have the ability to carve out bricks/tiles etc yourself. It’s a great way of making washes! If you want it darker or lighter just add more/less ink to it 😊 Definitely a LOT cheaper than Agrax/Nuln oil for terrain applications!

@@harazhangf5782 I know right! What I love about it is the modularity. It can literally represent any sort of ruin you want. My board is giving off Osgiliath vibes but could be any sort of ruin or individual little houses. I think I’ll be picking another set up to fill the board out!

@jahvyn Жыл бұрын

What an excellent looking kit! You do it justice too with your great finishing. Maybe a silly question, but what size are the bricks? Their site doesn't say and I'm wondering how they would stack up against some terrain I already have. The fact that they sell bags of these bricks separately definitely makes it interesting going forward anyway.

I mean, I do justify this in the video 😉 If you fancy trying your hand at foam modelling, or just want to make a few ruins for your games without investing in tools this is a good place to start. You get a feel for using the material without needing any of the tools or the expertise and get a bunch of great looking ruins in the process!

Wait..." modular foam ruins without ANY tools! " but its a ready to assemble kit.

@BenjisHobbies Жыл бұрын

Foam ruins normally need a craft knife at minimum, let along carving tools, hot wire cutters, templates, jigs etc… This didn’t use any tools at all, so if you’re starting out and want a dabble this is an easy stepping on point.
