      My vote goes to Black Magic Craft as his terrain is playable and not just a backdrop. The backdrop is very cool tho.

    Good stuff. Tip from a carpenter, use MRMDF for your base boards. It's much more stable and won't swell as you add moist materials and adhesives. MDF is a, brown colour but the MRMDF is green.

  • @Winterydee
    @Winterydee 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    First let me give a small suggestion for this Battle Arena Board your creating. Find some dowels, either wooden or metal then drill out holes for them on the board which will be the base for the Battle Arena... do not glue them in to the board. Then drill out matching holes on the Backdrop Board. Now you should be able to assemble and disassemble the board for play and storage, just keep the dowels in in plastic bag or container so you do not lose them.
    I love the look of your backdrop... but I'm sorry Jeremy of BMC won the challenge for two reasons. 1) He made playable terrain, which was the objective of the challenge. 2) He stuck to the rules and only used squirt guns for making the terrain and acceptable crafting filler materials, which you also used as well. He did not use bits from other terrain models and kits.
    I still enjoyed both of the videos Jeremy & you guys (Mr. Guy & Miss Penny) made.

  • @malanok
    @malanok 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    As it is difficult to say who wins I will have to take the easy route and say you're disqualified for non water gun bits rather than saying which is better!
    Very nice backdrop, I love the techniques you used and by only doing half I'm guessing fairly easy to keep simmetric (roughly) as you split the guns in half too.
    Overall I do prefer scatter terrain, but I will have to look into doing this for my display cabinet.
