I'm inclined to agree I thought to suggest it but came down to the same conclusion K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid if your just using laser cut HDF and nothing else than you won't forget parts when your packing to post.

The other option is retain the kits as is more or less but put a caveat in the instructions warning of potential breakage and suggesting likely replacements/fixes if the owner/builder wants.

None of it is going to stop people buying persay but its thoughtful design more or less.

Our modular planters should be up in the store soon.

Such cool planters!

I was thinking a possible easy variety to your buildings would be to inverse the layout of HAB1.
It wouldn't be much different but it would allow stairs to be on a different side of the building. I find it annoying with my buildings (other manufacturers) to sit their and rotate, and rotate, and find I always have the same dead spot when it comes to getting stairs or roof access to a certain corner because everything has the stairs on the same side of the building.

Just a thought.

Great looking stuff. I am trying to put together a reasonable order, my first order has already broken 200Euros and I think my wife might object.... So many nice pieces!

Ive bee away for a bit, but I just got a notice that youre making base toppers for HINT the Human Interface Kickstarter and they look AWESOME, will you be making those a regular item on your store or do I need to buy a bucket load of them?

[Icchan]

Anyone know a store to get cool plants like the one on the grey planter?

[Claudius Sol]

Icchan, check your local HobbyLobby or whatever you have that's similar and check the silks (fake plants) section. You have to use your imagination pretty seriously, though, as a lot of the plants will appear "too big" or "too strange" to use, at first.

Quite a while ago, I saw a really great tutorial for creating your own foliage/shrubberies from aquarium plants.

It's not this one, but it's pretty close. If I can find the other one, I'll post a link...

We don't have HobbyLobbies, but we do have other modeling hobby stores and I did check. Most of their stuff (read: all) is for model train scenery and that stuff is hella expensive and not very durable for tabletop use. I tried searching pet stores for aquarium plants, but none of the pet stores in my immediate region have anything aquarium related stuff, seems there's no market for it anymore.

Sometimes being in a small country sucks.

I guess you could just as well order some online

...inverse the layout of HAB1

That's a thing to consider.

Icchan just put artificial aquarium plants in the Google and check if there is a retailer around your area. Generally for 28mm the smallest size ones work best, and they are already painted as well. Bonus!
I've ordered a bunch few posts ago and asked if there would be buyers for that if I make it available through my store... let's say the interest was quite low back then.

It's all a bit hush, hush at the moment but I hope there would be a whole range of models exclusive for HINT. And yes the toppers will be available through the store once the campaign is over.

Cheap source of plastic plants from international brand: IKEA has many options in their FEJKA -line. Sure they need a bit ow cutting before they fit in a planter.

[Seal]

Hopefully this has not been stated already, but you may want to try find the plants on ebay. I've ordered some plastic aquarium plants through ebay a few times. Hope it helps a bit.

Double Post - that teaches me for using my cell.

Well the gents on the HINT Kickstarter are making it known. They look awesome, perfect for ALEPH. Glad to hear they will be showing up at your store.

Short Range Antenna (aka sniper's paradise) will be available in the store soon.

@VisOne - the cable seems to be robust enough - it survived transportation and international shipping ;-)

[WookieeGunner]

Our modular planters should be up in the store soon.

Any plans to scale these up to Apartment level sizes?

Not so much.

There are some bigger buildings down the line though.

[zenterrain]

Server stacks will be available tomorrow in the store.

[Seal]

I love you stuff (I have a few of the Hab buildings and the food stall). I noticed you mentioned the possibility of larger buildings some time in the future. Any hints as to what they may be like?

I see another purchase coming soon.

The tower looks great!

Thanks

[zenterrain]

We got a special request from one of our fans during the tournament for a command centre of sorts - so we went and fulfilled it, hope you like it.

Any hints as to what they may be like?

There is one quite large building with a lot of addons in the works, will try to post some pics soon.

[Icchan]

Holy sweets! That command center is perfect for putting in objective rooms. Maybe some corner or wall mounted variants as well?

[borthcollective]

I love it. If I have any money left after Gen Con this year, I will be ordering some stuff. Do you think the big building is going to be ready in the next month?

[Section9]

Bonus points for making a couple dedicated command-center layouts from fluorescent acrylic to match the table layout!

Might be a bit big to fit into an 8x8" objective room, though.

Might be a bit big to fit into an 8x8" objective room, though.

80-100mm per side, if my eyes are telling me truth. Objective Room is about 200-203mm. So if you place it centrally, there should be still enough space for a 40mm-based model to move freely.
A 55mm-based one, I'm afraid, not.

Not exactly that but I suppose there will be a couple of layouts available - one city (orange), one outdoors (green fluo) and maybe another one from yellow acrylic.

80-100mm per side, if my eyes are telling me truth.

Good eyes - it's 100x92 which is actually the extreme measurements to the farthest points.

[Icchan]

Make an orange, green and blue if possible. blue holograms is the cray cray.

[zenterrain]

I will try to source some fluo acrylics from a different place, right now I have access only to green one.

This one will come only in fluo flavor, I believe it will look faffing awesome.

Excellent! Yet another thing from ZenTerrain that is burning a hole in my wallet

55mm bases shouldn't be inside an Objective Room, anyways.

I was really referring to making some acrylic blocks and shapes, putting those on the display screen.

Excellent! Should just fit into the Objective Room then.
