    The instructions are very useful to recreate the final product, but I love how much of a “draw the rest of the fucking owl” vibe the photos give

      The first picture gives an entire breakdown of all the layers.

      It isn’t vague instructions, they are efficient.

        The instructions are very useful

        I didn’t say the instructions were vague. I just thought the two pictures were a funny juxtaposition.

          Only when you dont look close enough at the first picture. Most of the first is unfinished, so looking at the second definitely gives that effect. But they do in fact show all the steps in the first picture

            I thought this was funny

            Only when you XYZ

            Can people not just find things amusing anymore 😅 as per my very first comment I see that all the steps are right there, plain and simple. In no way am I detracting from the guide, saying it’s hard or unclear to follow. I just think it looks funny as presented.

              I agree it looks funny, i wasnt attempting to clarify that point. I was correcting the phrase juxtaposition. Howver, having just googled it, it would appear that i misunderstood. I figured juxtapositions required two vastly different states, but evidently you can have a juxtaposition of similar objects as well.

              Basically i just wanted to ensure you had looked closely at the top photo so you didnt miss out on the steps

        Yeah, it seems to assume some domain knowledge, but is very efficient and complete when you know how to do things like flocking already.

        Makes me nostalgic for old project/craft books.

    I like the organic method better where you just hit the ground with a rock at 5 times the speed of sound

    To this day it frustrates me that the contents of How to Make Wargames Terrain was worse than the articles in White Dwarf.

    The spaceship debris on the cover? One page and less than 500 words. In White Dwarf? 8 pages! Actual information!
