Proper use of toilet paper

Never mind which game it is for or how "overly American" the host is, the idea is great!

Well hey now! And what does that mean? So there is American, and then there is "overly" American? I cant figure out if i should be insulted or complemented.   :-)

Anyway, MWG is based outta Canada by the way.  :-)
And if you like that tutorial then you should hit their site and their blogs/forum cause they have a whole slew more of them. http://www.miniwargaming.com/

It has an infomercial style which is particular to the US. Here in Europe we annoy our consumers in a slightly different way. Well, we import some ways to annoy them from America to.

Anyway, its a good tutorial and a good idea. I have no use for 40Kesque terrain but I can see the same thing done for a scenario close to a volcanic eruption (a stock Pulp scenario, don't you agree).

LOL He is no Billy Mays i tell ya, but he has some comical videos nonetheless.  :-)

I was considering doing craters and general build up terrain this way. And levelling between polystyrene boards.

It is more the idea of using the papermaché as he calls it, that intrigues me, rather than the subject of this particular video.

Well put! 

I didn't suspect that he was a Canadian though. It was meant tongue in cheek anyway.

the paper sculpting technique is interesting, but I have very different ideas about how a crashed Meteor site looks like, especially with the size shown in the clip

A meteor that size AFTER going through atmosphere would devastate a LOT

Meteor retrieval scenario - the game to play when the only board/terrain you can find is an empty sand pit

You're right, but it's all about fantasy gaming, isn't it?

One thing any experienced paper mache user will tell you is that it shrinks something powerful. At least 5 to 10%. Beware not to use cardboard or too think a sheet of polystyrene (as in the clip) or plywood. The mache will either let go of the base or make it warp.

no problem at all with that, but in my book this is a rock that dropped from a mountain - on a base that size it would be a crater with a meteor the size of a miniature head, and all burnt with surrounding rocks all crushed to pieces - OK, I have a limited fantasy if You like or I am too concerned about physics 

anyway, a nice piece of scenery
btw, I think he used forex, not plasticard, which absorbs a lot of the tension involved with Papier-Mache
