John Menard is a train nut. I live down the road from the town Menards is headquartered in. They do a huge model train show every year.

great tip on the empty pen trick. I typically just flip my blade over to the top/dull side and score using that.

I got those scale cars too, but i use them for my 28mm scenery and they seem to fit the bill pretty good.

Great Video. I have decided to go with paper terrain buildings for Crisis Protocol. I'm LTTP on this, but here's the info you asked for on the PDF layer issue: Go to "File > Save as Other > Optimized PDF > Discard User Data. Then mark "Discard hidden layer content and flatten visible layers".

Just watched your city tile system and had to watch this one too. You’ve earned yourself a subscription because your content is great and informative. Thank you for the video!

The buildings are from Corvus Games, not Corvus Beli - different companies

I love that you have a Red Owl in this!

Please dont stop what you do!!! Very INFORMATIVE!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Important note: Corvus Games is not Corvus Belli, they have nothing to do with Infinity. They're both crows, but they're DIFFERENT crows :P

Thanks for the tip on the Corvus Belli terrain. I like how the apartment buildings are one piece per floor. Thanks!!!

Love all the little details of your terrain (i.e. the Gaminggeek Game Store, the Black Widow CHANEL wall advertising, ect...)

I’ve found that the packaging for cars rarely has the scale printed on it. However, the manufacturer often prints the scale into the undercarriage of cars and trucks along with the year, make and model of the vehicle. So if you buy one car from a line, you can check the underside for the scale. I do not condone opening packages you have not purchased.

Very great video man, thanks so much!

Just discovered your channel precisely for Crisis Protocol and your DIY tiles were a godsend. Awesome content and very well explained. Keep up the great work!

I was just looking at that stuff at Menards the other day. I remember Red Owl as a kid. We did all our grocery shopping there.

Great overview, and very fine looking table! Good point about resizing, also true of the cardstock, most people don't realise how variable similar buildings can b e even in real life (I'm a Town Planner, I look at buildings and townscapes more than is healthy!). Most of my scenery is SF or fantasy, but I use some of the Fat Dragon stuff and a lot of it has the advantage of being designed to flat pack after use. Can't recall if that is true of this set or not.

I'm creating a Percy Jackson RPG and this will be EXTREMELY useful for adventures that take place in cities, thank you so much for de vid

Thank you for this video, excellent

That table looks fantastic! Thanks for putting in the links. I went to the Corvus Games Terrain site and got stl files for 6 buildings for less than $19. :-) I'd love to get some of the O scale model buildings, but I think I'll have to wait on those. I like your selection of vehicles. Sometimes there are some nice diecats ~ 1/43 scale cars at CVS drugstores. I've used some of those, too.

Thanks, subscribed!

Awesome awesome awesome video! Thanks so much for the tips and caveats (i.e., pricing). I'm actually beginning to record the next episode of my podcast to cover terrain building and "off" brand paints. I'm definitely going to mention seeing your videos and urge my listeners to see them for themselves!

For card stock, I use foam core boards for support. Makes them sturdier

For more modern era 3D printing options there are Precinct 187 from Z1 Design: www.z1design.co.uk/precinct-187 Then there's Jens' designs over at www.3dprintterrain.de - he has models from the Dark Ages and up to modern day (most of his sets are WWII, but you also have Wild West, American Civil War, Medieval times, Ancient Rome, Middle East (both older and modern era) etc.). Thirdly, there's World of War buildings. They've done a range of Kickstarters ranging from one Medieval over WWII to modern/apocalyptic and futuristic/space models. www.wowbuildings.net/ I don't see all of their models in their shop, so I don't know if one has to contact them to inquire further about the specific files from their campaigns, but here's the modern/apocalyptic one: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wowbuildings/apocalypse-wow/ (from there you can also find the other Kickstarters they've done).

May I ask what is the appropriate distance from floor to ceiling in your game? I am designing modern buildings using MDF and not so sure about scale.

Please read my comment on your table lol. But this looks like a 3D version of zombicide. But I really need to know what the 2x4s length for sides under the cup holders. 4inches?

You can find an MDF or plastic etc Dumpster for cheap on Etsy too and IIRC Reaper Bones has one. Same with vending machines, etc. For a billboard though, I think I'd just scratch build that. And if you're using railroad stuff anyway then a train yard could be a great battlefield.

How'd you do the windows on the 3D prints?

I just discovered your channel and these terrain options are great info. If you happen to see this (2.5yrs later), how do you suggest storing the cardboard building when not in play?

nice. whats the board size?

Very cool man, thx for the tips. Btw, is there a way to keep the modular tiles from sliding? I know you can use hotglue at the bodem to keep them from sliding, but sometimes it messes with the level of the tile.

I'd like to see any options that you recommend for superhero minis. Especially anything that's 3d print friendly.

what about MDF from TT COMBAT

Good morning, Can i ask where did you find the stoplights at?

Where did you find that Chanel Black Widow poster? Looks great but i cant find it on Google

Did you scale up the Fat Dragon models, or are these at 100%?

How long does it take to print some of these 3D buildings? How many pieces do they come in?

With the Red Owl supermarket, can you access the interior?

Nice wealth of information. Do you think those Menards buildings would work for games like The Walking Dead: All Out War?

You should make a video just like this but for D&D and Medieval games!

I think 1/32 works great.

Dollar General carries a variety of 1:43 Burago cars

did you really print that police station without supports?

What printer are you using to print those buildings? Any tips? They turned out fantastic and are making me want to buy a printer :). Edit: I see it's a Prusa!

2:20

1:35 scale is the closest to true scale for 28mm

Corvus Games Terrain is not Corvus Belli.

World Works Games is dead and buried. Can't even get the dropbox pdf dump of their files any more. I just tried.

It's a good video but the one option you didn't really discuss is making your own terrain! Don't have the "talent"? It's on par to middle-school art projects honestly. Grab some cardboard or foam-board, some elmer's glue, some pins, a straight-edge, hobby knives, and the like.....and have at it! There are so many resources, for free, available on how to make your own terrain! Not great at painting? Well you can still create whatever building you want and simply print out designs with a pretty cheap home printer. Give it a wash to weather it and there ya go! This is by far the cheapest method of creating terrain.....all you need is some basic tools and materials.....and a little imagination and creativity!

Dude, Hobby Lobby? If you're willing to support them by shopping there, I cannot in good conscience support your channel.

Great video. Thanks man. However TRUMP 2020.
