So I might have gotten a little carried away with building catwalks and making sure the tower at least appears to be somewhat structurally sound 😂

@stripey I love me a good #TrashBash - this is a great outcome!

2025-05-25

After mocking up a color scheme for my trashbashed video game boss, I finally started painting.

The metallic base coat looked cool, but the paint job's not too bad. I tried a technique I've seen some minipainters use: stippling on layers of paint while staying away from the edges for a weathered look. While many love heavy weathering, I wanted things a little cleaner. So no washes or rust.

It still needs some touching up, but it's looking good.

The color mockup: A profile view of a tank that looks like a simplified bull. It has a blue body with a red jaw and a dark blue forehead. Sticking out of its head are red ears with long, bronze horns. Several turbines stick out from the back of the body. Large tank treads are supporting the body. A cartoonish angry face is drawn over it digitally.The base coat: Various shades of silver and brass are painted on the tank.Profile view of the final result: In the areas that are blue and red, the corners, edges, and areas where paint is splotchy show the underlying metallic colors.A view of the final result from the rear above.

More on my #FantasyScenery wall - attached corbelling for a wooden walkway and made a better masonry arch over the reverse of the gate (yeh the other side will be hidden mostly by the walkway lol).

Also more on my #MurderTurks for #TrenchCrusade.

Xps stone wall with poorly built archPartial stone wall out of XPS bricks with a lot better stone arch. A lot of cardboard is still showing but I've run out of bricks. It's got a nice capstone and two stones halfway the arch on either side which are a bit biggerMurder Turks with base colour green and leather

#HobbyStreak day 1284:

Oops my tower of self torture needed a companion. So now there's a wall. And there will be another two wall sections. And one or two more towers 😬

Also started on my #MurderTurks for #TrenchCrusade. As if I have time for that😆

#HobbyStreak day 1283:

Finished my tower of self torture for now by sticking in ladders* and the last two floors, one flagstones.

I originally had planned to work on a #Gorkamorka tank but the other printer ran out of filament.

(* the original plan was a SPIRAL STAIRCASE in an upwelling of true mind breaking ambition 🤣)

#TrashBash #TerrainWIP #Wargaming #Wargames #TabletopWargaming #FantasyTerrain #Frostgrave #Warcry #AoS #Warhammer #ToW #TerrainBuilding #WargameTerrain #Nerdlings #Mordheim

Ruined tower with partially damaged floors visible. There are ladders, I repeat ladders and definitely no spiral staircases, on the inside and the top floor has lost some battlements.Four massively armoured wheels and a spiked ram positioned as if there is supposed to be more between them but unfortunately the hull and engine and cannon and hatches are not there

@knizer lovely, i hope a lot of @nerdlings show up!

(There are also too many names for this kind of thing - #TrashToTerrain / #TrashBash / #ScrapBash - we need to work this out as a community 😆)

#HobbyStreak day 1280-1

Ah yes how do we make the battlements stick out from the tower? The next chapter in my 'tower of self torture' has been completed. Decided to continue with the floors and OH JESUS CHRIST I have to perfectly tailor every angle on every single coffee stirrer for that😂

#TrashBash #TerrainWIP #Wargaming #Wargames #TabletopWargaming #FantasyTerrain #Frostgrave #Warcry #AoS #Warhammer #ToW #TerrainBuilding #WargameTerrain #Nerdlings #Mordheim

Four level ruined Castle Tower built inside and around a Pringles can, with near perfect arrow slits on the upper three levels, a roof platform with overhanging battlements, and a nice hardwood floor. Oh and one side has collapsed. Why hasn't the entire tower then, you ask? Well, that's because I've used XPS, which is lightweight and can stand a lot of bullying.That same tower but now viewed from the top with a view on two of the panelled floors showing how I made my life weird and uncomfortable by not putting coffee stirrers on every floor level already when inserting the cardboard circles

#HobbyStreak day 1279

Some very tame stacking of bricks. All very modest, because I did not find anything to make my work more difficult😂

Noooo that'll be the next stage, when I make a broken top floor 😬😬😬

#TrashBash #TerrainWIP #Wargaming #Wargames #TabletopWargaming #FantasyTerrain #Frostgrave #Warcry #AoS #Warhammer #ToW #TerrainBuilding #WargameTerrain #Nerdlings #Mordheim

Ruined tower made of tiny XPS foam bricks along. Three of four floors have been walled up and only a small crest of pringle can is still visible.

#HobbyStreak day 1278

In 'Erik is building a self torture tower' episode 3, today we explore realistic arrow slits and their effort.

Spoiler alert: lots

#TrashBash #TerrainWIP #Wargaming #Wargames #TabletopWargaming #FantasyTerrain #Frostgrave #Warcry #AoS #Warhammer #ToW #TerrainBuilding #WargameTerrain #Nerdlings

Pringles can with layers of rectangular stones on the outside. One Arrow slit is visible and it has tapered edges to allow for a wider field of vision and relaxed aiming and shooting at anyone contesting this piece of mordheim that the tower is stood on.

Why the fk am I doing this? Not even if people knock over Pringle Tower will they notice🥺

I blame @bno for raising the bar unreasonably high.

Mostly finished with my tower. Just need to finalise the placement of the stabilising woodwork and ladders etc.
Then its time to paint both the tower and the house I built recently... Unless I start building something else I stead 😂

I unleashed my inner @bno and stuck bricks into this tower for #Mordheim. After popping there was no stopping, let me tell you!

#TrashBash #TerrainWIP #Wargaming #Wargames #TabletopWargaming #FantasyTerrain #Frostgrave #Warcry #AoS #Warhammer #ToW #TerrainBuilding #WargameTerrain #Nerdlings

Pringles can with an irregular pattern cut out from one side and small blue xps bricks stuck to it and three extra floors stuck in with pieces of an old tea box.

My trashbashed boss is now primed and ready for a (passable) paint job. Since I'll be touching things up digitally, hopefully I'll have a more freeing painting experience.

And here it is with the wash, looking suitably grimy, next to one of my earlier #TrashBash terrain items. The color isn't an exact match, but it's in the ball park. For future prints I might ask for a black or grey filament, rather than white. For the other 3 I had printed I'll probably prime them black before painting them.

I'm working on a new video game and didn't feel like making pixel art, as I usually do. So I'm trashbashing every boss and using their photos as the sprites instead.

I tried to finish the first boss, a bull tank, this weekend and got pretty far. I still have to make the other set of tank treads and horns, then paint it all.

#trashbash #crafts #gamedev #gameart #wip

A profile view of a bull tank made out of various toys, beads, craft foam, and trash. It has large tank treads and a horn coming out of the top of its head. A cartoonish angry face is drawn over it digitally.The disassemble bull tank, showing the tank treads and horns can separate from the body.

Wickeyed (pic 1) began as a monsterbash challenge. (Pic 2) I randomly generated 5 monster parts and brainstormed a wax monster with my brother.

(Pic 3) I used a random bottle (for the stove body), a Wawa juice bottle and styrofoam (for the monster body), a water gun piece (for the arm), and other junk.

(Pic 4) After adding a few 3D-printed and EVA foam pieces, hot glue was layered on to achieve the dripping wax.

A miniature of a candle wax golem stacked on top of a leaning cast iron stove. The golem has a large, rusted hex nut with a red eye in the middle. Extending from its body and to the ground is an arm of wax and metal parts.  Wax fingers spread across the ground and there are flames on two fingertips. A red glow is emitted from the belly of the stove and some wax is spilling out.Five illustrations of monsters parts pointing to a drawing of a waxy, one-eyed monster on a pot belly stove.Junk laid out on a table.The assembled and unpainted Wickeyed. There are hot glue drips covering the areas that will be wax.

"Wickeyed are sentient wax slimes who, despite their ominous appearance, are more of a nuisance than a threat. Though novel thinking has recently made them surprisingly helpful for humans.” (1/3)

Additional lore in the replies!

I'll post its development tomorrow.

This is the all-in-one pencil robot. It started 4 years ago when I finally tried "trashbashing" like many YouTubers I watch. But I abandoned the project for other ideas (that I also abandoned).

I'm looking forward to completing more old ideas and enhancing others this year.
