A Dakka Tutorial Challenge - 'Get Your Teach On!'



The judges votes have been tabulated and we have a winner for Dakka's fist tutorial challenge!

With two 1st place votes and two 2nd place votes from the five judges the winner is:


Greenstuff Tips & Tricks by whatwhat.



If you haven't checked out this tutorial yet it is a wonderful collection of basic tips & tricks for utilizing greenstuff to make simple conversions to your models. It is the kind of thing that new hobbyists are always interested in but don't always know where to start. This tutorial gives a really good introduction to the art of greenstuff conversions.

So congratulations to whatwhat on a fantastic job as he claims the £130 (GBP) credit from WaylandGames.co.uk.

Also a massive thanks has to go out to the huge number of other entrants who put their blood, sweat and tears into making all these wonderful tutorials. These tutorials will certainly be of use to many, many other fellow hobbyists and that was ultimately the point of this contest.

thanks to everyone who contributed--but also, many thanks to the admin for such a great contest idea! I've been looking through some of the tutorials for ideas for my own stuff, and we've now got some of the most useful tutorials I've ever come accross! It's a venerable library of how-to, and that is objectively awesome. Boosh!
