Berfenday Compomotition Extension.

I've decided to give a one week extension for Berfenday Compometition entries as I only have one so far. You can certainly build something in a week, and who knows, you might win!
All entries must be emailed to me by the 7th of June to be elligible for he compo.

Ishoo Twentee poll tied.

As you will no doubt have noticed, the Ishoo Twentee poll is a tie between Landing Pad and Windmill. Which means, just like Ishoo Twelf, we'll do Landing Pad in Ishoo Twentee A and Windmill in Ishoo Twentee B. If we ever end up with a three way tie, then I'll hold a second poll to decide amongst the winners.

And remember, you've only got nine days to enter the compometition. And you stand an excellent chance of winning since entries have been very light so far.

In which various terrain making myths are debunked.

Myth Number One: Terrain takes too long to build.
Grot sez: "Terrain is ded kwik to makerate."
Just take a look at the Blog Archieve - there are nineteen ishoos in there at present. That's almost two per month. And I don't put everything I build on this blog. In fact, most projects only take a few days, working two or three hours at most each day. Often projects take a while simply because you are waiting for paint or glue to dry, the actual time spent working is minimal. If you don't believe me, I made all of this in a week. A week when my Parent's where visiting and I could not spend all day working on terrain.

Myth Number Two: Terrain is expensive.
Grot Sez: "Yoo never have to spend money on terrain if yoo do not want to."
Sure, if you insist of buying all of your materials from premium rate model building shops, using plastic and resin kits for terrain and sticking the latest metal miniatures in as statues, terrain will cost.
But it does not have to cost.
Most terrain projects can be built using cheap or free stuff - you'd be amazed at how much great cardboard you throw out. Foam core is not very expensive (aroung $10aud for an A1 sheet) either, nor are most of the other things you need. In fact, I built terrain using nothing but household junk for years, and never paid for anything but my paints and plaster.

Myth Number Three: I don't need terrain.
Grot Sez: "yes yoo do."
So you actually like playing on a bare, flat kitchen table with maybe an old shoebox to break up lines of sight do you?
Get real. Get terrain.



Myth Number Four: Terrain is hard to make!

Grot Sez: "Iz not."
I think we've proved this one already, don't you?
