What this video covers

SKS Props showcases a set of handcrafted modular terrain pieces being built for a complete Trench Crusade tabletop gaming board. The pieces are primarily sculpted from insulation foam, with textures achieved through heat, foil, and wire brushes. Playing surfaces are finished with a durable mixture of silicone, sand, paint, and ballast, while duckboards and fire steps are made from coffee stir sticks. A full step-by-step tutorial is planned for the creator's secondary channel, SKS Hobby Workshop.

Key takeaways

  • Modular terrain tiles are scratch-built from 2-inch insulation foam for flexibility and reusability
  • Heat, foil, and wire brushes are used to create realistic surface textures without expensive tools
  • A silicone, sand, paint, and ballast blend produces a tough, game-ready playing surface
  • Humble materials like coffee stir sticks stand in convincingly for duckboards and fire steps
  • A full tutorial covering the entire process will be released on SKS Hobby Workshop

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
