Ishoo Wun-Oh-Wun: 10mm Control Tower.

Welcome back friends. After all the nonsense yesterday, it's time for a proper terrain project again. Actually, I'd been planning this for Ishoo Wun-Hunred, but when it got so close to April I knew I just had to do the April Fool's day version instead.
As part of his latest commission, Callum the Englishman (he who commissioned the Quantum Wombat) ordered a 10mm scale SF space port control tower, to go along with a space port I was also commissioned to build him. Making cunning use of toys, I was able to fairly rapidly build a spectacular piece which had the right sort of small details to make it look like a small scale piece. How I hear you ask? Well, in a manner easy enough to be emulated by our old friend, the African River Horse.
Take it away, Grot!

And there you have it Hippo Fans!
The cunning circle cutter was a birthday present from my dad. He got it from a woodworking show, it's from Japan, and all the text on it's packaging was in Japanese, so I've got no idea what it's actual name is, or where you can get one. I did see something very similar in one of Dad's tool catalogues, probably the one from Carbatec (that's a shop, not a brand).
Well, stick around fans, my mojo seems to be back, and I'll be bringing you Khador Gun Towers very soon! And don't forget to vote on the Ishoo Wun-Oh-For poll at the top of the page!

The Infamous Index

There are now one hundred official ishoos of Terrain For Hippos (plus a few specials), so it seems like time to create an index of all of them. Which you will find on our spectacular new Ishoo Index page, conveniently located in the link list across the top of the blog.
Rousing huzzahz!

Ishoo Wun-Hunred: Age Of Sigmar Sigmarite Chapel.

Well, here we are at last with Ishoo Wun-Hunred. I knew I had to do something special for this one, but it took me ages to think of something special enough (like the Gates of Kislev). Eventually, after months of delay, I realised I had several ideas for less spectacular ishoos, but Wun-Hunred was in the way, so I decided to just do something and be done with it. To make it a bit special, I decided to tackle a project specialy designed for GW's latest foray into Warhammer - Age of Sigmar.
So here it is, the Sigmarite Chapel. It's not only amazingly quick to make, but also surprisingly affordable.
So, for the hundredth time...
TAKE IT AWAY GROT!

And there you have it, Hippo Fans! A spectacular building, very quickly built and for next to no money! You'd be amazed at how quickly you can make a battlefield using the cheap plastic kits currently on the market - so you can spend more time throwing your entire unpainted collection across the table at your opponent's entire unpainted collection.
Until next time Hippo Fans, remember that foamcore, polystyrene, and skull-free buildings are a thing of the past! Huzzah!
