Yeah, unless you do enough surface prep to deal with that. In which case you'll simply be left with a crudely rubbed-for-your-pleasure rectangular block of something on the tabletop, because shipping container shave a touch more going on with them that his method completely skips/glosses over.

>>96426535
Those look too fake, not like real containers

>>96425751
All the good plastic ones I find are like $10 per container minimum, which is absurd pricing for a plastic box. Wargames Atlantic announced they're working on a set of them (why?). I'm sure the quality will be incredibly mid, but depending on the price they might be worth buying. Sincerely with the price, if you plan on filling out a full shipyard or something you might as well get a resin 3d printer and print some, it would be cheaper than buying them

Corrugated cardboard is your friend and your roof.

Also, get a few friends and do it together. Bonus points for variety since everyone will be doing his shacks in his own style.

This reminds me of the Alamo in San Antonio, even though they don't look much alike. Like it was some old historic site that got preserved as more modern buildings sprung up around it.

would love to make a vertical board like this, but i feel like its wasted space since you have to make each level empty enough for your hands and your models to fit in.

>>96447140
maybe if it was cut in a triangle sort of like the front of this? But even then, you get the fitting problem the further you go into the back of a level.

>lore
A determined necromancer wants to travel from Sylvania to Khemri to find the secrets of immortality.
He travels south, breaking his way through a dwaven mountain pass around
Karak Hirn. The dwarfs rally an army to chase him down.
From Khemri a Tomb King pushes north to reclaim ancient territories in the Badlands, clashing with the necromance's hordes in the process.
And obviously the dwarfs are not too particular when it comes to killing undead, attacking both armies on sight.

The Necromancer faces immortality or destruction as he tries to harness the death magic of the ancient obelisks...

I want to make a jungle terrain, I'm just dreading the need to paint all the trees because the aquarium plants are all too shinny
>>
>>96464249
What if you just spray aquarium plants with matte varnish?
>>
>>96464312
In my test it still looks odd. It's the lack of depth some wash is needed for them to not look like aquarium plants.
Some random one in terrain do not matter but an entire clump of them? It sticks out a lot.
>>
>>96464249
You can do it with rattle cans, I use graffiti paints that are quite cheap, I prime with mnt 94 amazonas green and then just give them a quick dash with a lighter green ink, but it works with rattle cans as well, but I prefer using my airbrush to lighten them up

Also, get shitloads of paint stir sticks to allow you to mass paint the plants.

Aliexpress, search for plastic model palm trees.

>>96464603
if you're making a whole table, alibaba might be an even better option. I do find it advantageous to have a sharp nipper to cut the flash from the plastic plants. While you don't need to do it perfectly, it's nice to make things go faster and easier.

>>96464623
Also, this was a decorative moss mat I found in a hardware store. The most bang for your buck so far in my jungle journey.

I got bits of very thick corrugated cardboard from a friend after he moved and turned them into containers.
The branding and technical details on it were designed by myself and printed on decal paper.
The results is still a bit of a mixed bag:
>The larger decals broke down during transfer. So I had to cover some of the containers in rust, to hide the defects.
>Even after spraying varnish over them, you can still see the transparent part of the decal. I don't know how I could improve this.

On the other hand, sticking the caps of baby formula bottles together to make scifi containers worked pretty fine.
I added a bit of sand inside, for the weight, and used epoxy glue to make sure the two caps stuck together solidly.
