Ishoo Sventy-Sven: Hungry House

More Fanticide terrain this ishoo - this time it's the dreaded Hungry House. While I was researching the look of the Baba Yaga hut, I stumbled over an illustration showing a house with a very angry face and lots of teeth. I thought this was just too cool to ignore, so I had to build one! I'm planning to use it as the Hole Beast hostile terrain piece.

So just how hard is it to build something as creepy as a Hungry House?

Well, here's a Hungry Hippo to explain!

 And there you have it Hippo fans!
A few things which should be mentioned:
The balls used come from cheap christmas decorations. You should be able to find some sort of alternative - polystyrene balls perhaps. They're smaller than ping-pong balls, but you could always just make a bigger house and use ping-pong balls...
Sculpting wise, I used air-drying modelling clay, and a paddle-pop stick or my fingers. By wetting the surface to apply the clay to, I found it stuck very well.

Ishoo Sventy-Six: Toxichem Canal Pumping Tower

At last it is here! Ishoo Sventy-Six, the people's choice ishoo where the people have chosen Toxichem Canals! Of course, on their own, Toxichem canals are pretty simple and boring and over very quickly, so we've knocked things up another notch by going with a Pumping Tower for the canals. Many a man has built an otherwise excellent canal without addressing the problem of where the toxichem comes from. Well, now you know.

But how hard is it to build such a perfidious pollution production plant? Well, let's see what Grot has to say.

 And there you have it! Remember, the more coats of PVA glue you apply, the deeper the toxichem/water effects looks. In this case, I've gone with three coats which gives a good gloss and depth. You cannot really tell from the photos unfortunately.
Stick around for the next ishoo where we tackle that most devilish of dwellings, the Hungry House!
