RFDHobby | Miniature Sandbags - How to make miniature sandbags for your mini wargaming and tabletop games. @RFDHobby | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 55 minutes ago.
This wargaming terrain building tutorial I show you how to make miniature sandbags for your wargaming or tabletop games, and we'll also put together a small sandbag wall, and paint it. This build should be perfect for Warhammer, 40k, or most modern or sci-fi tabletop game settings.I realize there are a few videos already available for making these miniature sandbags, but I want to incorporate these into a build coming up soon and thought it was best to show you the process I use to make these before I do that tutorial. You will find these to be really quite versatile however, and you can use these straight away for existing terrain, or for building sandbag walls as you'll see in the video. This tutorial shows that it really only takes a bit of air drying clay, and some glue to put together just about any shape or variation of sandbag walls, for standalone scatter terrain, or as part of a larger terrain piece. I use PVA glue throughout, and as you will see in the video, this blows out my drying times significantly, but you may find other solutions to glue-up here that are faster, or more to your liking. But you can certainly get away with PVA here as you'll see, and the bond once dry is more than capable of surviving the battlefield. Normally I would have painted this with the airbrush, as I did for the original piece you will see in the video, however for this tutorial I thought I would go through brush painting these, to show that an airbrush is really not necessary to get a good looking sandbag wall effect.
I hope you enjoy the video, and definitely check out some of the other great youtube videos on this process to see how other people go about this, as there are several ways to achieve similar results.
Thanks for watching.
