Hobby in general - "Shifting lands GeBoom" - Gerard Boom´s outstanding builds in foam

Hi,

number three of my little range of YouTubers worth to take a closer look at.

"Shiftinlands" is a channel dealing with building terrain made from foam. The Dutchman Gerard Boom is a real master and I was lucky to visit one of his workshops about 10 years ago. 

If you ever have the opportunity to join one of his workshops - just do it. It´s worth every single dime.

Hobby in general - "Chicken´sTabletopCrafting" - very inspiring YouTube channel

Hi,

here is just another YouTuber who inspires me very much and it is always fun to watch him creating terrain or models.

I am often asked where I got some of my buildings from. They are often from Thomas Hahn, who is the creative person behind Chicken´sTabletopCrafting.

The following link leads to his newest project - building a Western house suitable for DeadMan´sHand or other similar rulesets. Like the videos of "Samy Model-Maker" it looks so easy, but I know that building terrain on your own to this standard is not as easy as it looks like.

Hope you enjoy the inspiring video.

Hobby in general - "Samy Model-Maker" - just check this out

Hi,

it is always nice to get some inspiration for modelling your on pieces of terrain. Searching on YouTube is very helpful and often makes me stunning about the projects and buildings you can find there.

One guy that I admire very much is Samy. He has an own YouTube channel called "Samy Model-Maker". He often builds models from cardboard or paper in 1:160. His models are incredible.

A few days ago he published the following two videos of a house he has done for 28mm figures. And in my opinion this is a real masterpiece.

I often wonder while watching - "why does it look so easy what he´s doing?" 

Just follow the links and you will know what I mean.

Cheers

Mike
