i was looking at the hexagons and the flames and thinking about how they did it. As i wanted to replicate it on my models
and i had an idea while i was thinking about it, air brush templates. I could laser cut them in 2mm mdf so anyone can paint this without having to cut out hexagons from a printed template.
I kept thinking about this and i am coming up with a range of spray paint/ air brush templates for war gamers to use
starting with hexagons and a few other simple shapes to test the market.
What do you think is anyone interested in this?
Final design of my first vehicle, it would make great terrain or be used as a proxy in 28mm wargames
It has several build options, including 2 track choices, 2 turret choices, 4 gun options, the details such as hatches, doors, turrets/guns, and all the details on the sides are all optional and can be placed as desired.
The tank measures 124mm long 82mm wide and 60mm tall
It comes on 3 Spruces and is my first product to be on spruces due to the amount of small parts
What do you think of it?
Is there anything you would like to see added to it?
Would you be interested in more vehicles from me I have several ideas for some other tanks and some planes

Thank you, glad you like them, would be great to see a table build up with them if you get some
Necroagogo wrote: Some nice-looking stuff there! A couple of questions for you, if you don't mind:
1 - How much is P&P within the UK?
2 - How would you recommend painting these (I believe MDF can be a pain, right?).
Cheers!
Hello, thank you
Post to uk is £3.70 for 1 buildings you can normally get 2 for this amount then it goes up to £4.90 and you will get about 4 buildings for this, depends on the size of the buildings ordered. Large orders go via UPS and cost £11, a large order is over 2kg’s as it then costs more to use PO than UPS.
To paint the wood, give it a good under coat with your primer, gw is fine or Vallejo surface primer. After this just paint it as normal, the undercoat seals the wood. There are some pictures of painted buildings on my Facebook page in the timeline photos, a tech centre and a supply base
New Buildings set released today, the industrial cooling towers is a set of two, retailing for £14.99.
They are packed with details that can be positioned freely, provide good cover and are interesting to look at.
I am also working on a New vehicle, based on the thunderhawk(so you can use it as a counts as), specifically the attack/transport aspects.
It is going to be a similar size and follow the same sort of features/theme
Design is coming along and i will have initial builds to show you all soon
Looking good! Myself, I'd say if you want to do laser cut vehicles try for stuff like trucks, utility crawlers and such. It seems hard to match a plastic kit for tanks and such.

thanks
we can see how it goes, i have done several thunderhawks on the laser cutter and they turned out fantastic
Excellent stuff. Might have to pick up some stuff from you. In particular the spray templates. It's a massive pain in the backside (for me anyways) doing freehand unit markings. And maybe the alien temple/alien dropsite thing too for my DE.
On a further note- any chance of doing stuff like Necron architecture? That'd be great if you could!

Some great stuff here and good value too. I've been looking for a piece of scenery to go with my WIPWHFB Slaaneshi Daemons, that unusual tower is just what I've been looking for. I might have to place some more orders in the future if I ever get my games room sorted.
yes i could get that designed up, i will be about 4 weeks though as i am pretty busy

now there’s a good idea some necron stuff, i have tau and dark eldar requests to do first but after that I’d be happy to have a look into it

i haven’t actually painted anything yet i just don’t get the time, but if you have a look through the pictures on my Facebook there are several pieces that have been sent in

Nice stuff. Have you thought about making various large textured floor squares for people to make custom bunkers/ships/base/etc.
As far as I know, no one does this. Would be great to see some exotic tiles that can be glued on MDF board or cut up on a saw to make a bunker with large rooms and corridors.

I hope there's enough there for my Knight to hide behind ...
hello
thank you for your purhcase, ill get it out asap
i think a knight wil fit snuggly behind them, you will have to let me know

Perhaps 6 x 6, 10 x 10 or 12 x 12
thats a good idea, what sort of textures would you like to see on them?
No, I mean a Necron version of the Games Workshop Imperial Bastion.
All 40K armies can take a Bastion, but the only one available is the Imperial model. You might want to consider doing Bastions in the style of other factions (Necron/Tau/Eldar/etc) in the same way that Chapterhouse and other companies do their own faction specific variants of the Aegis Defence Line.
For example, my fellow mod here RiTides took a Bastion as part of his Tyranid force to Adepticon. But because there was no Tyranid version available, he had to make do with a Fantasy tower. If there'd been an aesthetically Tyranid tower of the right size and shape that matched the Bastion's dimensions, he'd have snapped it up. I'm sure he's not alone there either.
Looking at the Necron terrain above, I'd wager you have the skills to create a Necron style tower of the right proportions that you could sell without any more effort than it took to make those two.

Ah i completely forgot about the Warhammer bastion.
Yes i think you have a point. I shall add it to my list and design one, I’ll do a Eldar one too as i am working on expanding my Eldar buildings too.
When i start of other races i have to do one for them too.
I made my first order this week and received it today, everything goes together perfectly, multi level buildings are great and there is plenty of room for conversion and tweaks.
liked it so much I made another order today and have been able to get a hefty selection of terrain for my new battleboard for under a hundred quid.
The service was excellent and quick (i asked for a few pics of the unassembled kits before I ordered to get an idea of the work involved and had a reply with multiple images the next day.)
also, and this is a minor detail but the stuff smells amazing when you open it

A pack of 16 necron themed blocks. laser cut buildings intended for Warhammer and other 28mm scale table top wargames
Great for blocking line of sight on the battlefield.
Packed with detials and interesting designs
You get 8 large and 8 small Blocks and plenty of spacers for attaching them together.
You get 16 detailed and 16 plain panels for each sized Block this allows you to build two of the buildings shown in picture 1
However you can also arrange the Blocks anyway you like, stood up or laid down (see later photos)
Each block takes up the same footprint so they stack nicely on each other
This means you can have 4 of each sized Block with details on every panel and 4 of each size plain,
Or you can have all the Blocks with 2 detailed panels.
Another option is to figure out how you want them arranged and put the plain panels on the inside and detailed ones on the outside
Dimensions are large block
wide 50mm
depth 50mm
height 100mm
Dimensions are small block
wide 50mm
depth 50mm
height 50mm
The houses look good but I think they would be better if the had an eaves overhang, fascia & soffit + a gutter? Also you good do an option for end of terrace & detached houses with an overhang on the verge with a bargeboard. Additionally chimneys would be great too.
I could help with CAD drawings of houses (I work in at an architects firm in Fareham). PM me if you're interested.

Dimensions for tower
wide 230mm
depth 201mm
height 204mm
the skyapds are massive allowing large aircraft to land on them or several large model move around. Even with the tower attached there is more than enough room to move squad around on it.
The tower comes with plenty of each detail such as ladder, two types of Fans, several vents and different sized exhaust nodes
There are now 4 new variants, with many different combos.
The gangway platform is the same height as the tower platform and can be joined using bridges
skypad and gangway
This is a large building great for a centre piece, featuring a raised gangway, great for shooting from and providing light to moderate cover
The tower fits nicely in the centre of the skypad or can be used separate.
Includes extra details, sets of triple exhausts, sets of single exhausts, grills, fans and vents and ladders
First off my stencils i showed a few months ago have been finalised
Here they are.
There are 23 in a variety of designs and sizes, these are designs to be used on my buildings, flat surface and large wargame models
retail will be £2.50 and and packs of four for £9
There are plans for more to come and i would be happy to add requests to them as well
Another launch this week is a storage system i have been using myself for a while
There are three sized trays, full size, half and quarter and three heights 40mm 55mm and 70mm, with plans to add tank storage trays 10cm-15cms
Each box has a tray inserted into it with holes cut out, and in these holes you stand your troops.
A lid can be placed over the box. It fits around it like a lid does on a shoe box. The lid also allows you to stack another box on top of it and the next box again fits in the lid so it is unable to slide around.
Currently there are inserts for round and square 20mm 25mm 40mm 60mm and bikes/cavalry and inserts for each size box. Two inserts from a half size will fit into a full size box so two different sized bases can be stored in the same box or even 4 by using the quarter sized inserts
Full size box measures 295 x 405. Stores 120 25mm based models
Half size box measures 295 x 202.5. Stores 60 25mm based models
Quarter size box measures 147.5 x 202.5. Stores 24 25mm based models
the box’s stacks on top of each other using the lids and same as the inserts you can stack two half size on top of a full size box etc.
Custom cut inserts will be available so you can customise the trays you your needs and I would take requests for other popular sizes being made into trays
We have a new paint rack in a landscape format for Vallejo paint / war paints
The storage boxes launched last week now all include magnetic sheet at the bottom that sits under the insert
The Eldar themed watch towers have been re-designed, they are the same size, feature more details and you now get an extra one in the packs
Two large new launches this week were city fight tables
They have a 4ft by 3ft (120cmx90cm) base board in that comes in 12 sections
3 roads each consist of four sections and covers the length of the board, two can be placed on raised supports or can be used on the ground, the supports can then be used as extra terrain pieces
6 large buildings and loads of scatter terrain such as spirit towers, walls and barricades for cover and to block line of sight
The cities can be arranged around the roads with large spaces for several vehicles to move around in alternatively the roads can play a very minimum to no role in the city with the buildings being very close together limiting the space for vehicles and adding a more tactical aspect to them
Again comes with a 4ft by 3ft (120cmx90cm) base board, that comes in 12 sections
24 road sections. 16 straight 4 corner 2 t junction and 2 cross roads
8 sections in a straight line will cover 4 foot and 6 will cover 3 foot
5x three storey buildings
5x two storey buildings
5x one storey buildings
2x small bunkers
2x large one storey gothic style buildings
Numerous shutter grates and planks to cover windows to reduce line of sight
Instructions
The buildings are built in a standard pattern that can be placed together to create larger buildings, they can be stacked to increase the height of the game. The buildings can be glued together in these extended patterns or left free so the setup of the buildings can be different for every game. (see photos for example)
The cities can be arranged around the roads with large spaces for several vehicles to move around in alternatively the roads can play a very minimum to no role in the city with the buildings being very close together limiting the space for vehicles and adding a more tactical aspect to them
With the stutters/grates in place buildings can provide a place for troops to completely hide in waiting to ambush, protecting a key character or they can move higher up in the buildings granting great but exposed firing places.
Great stuff here i've been following for a while and the creativity and quality is not just brilliant it's outstanding and exciting! I really look forward to seeing each new idea from you.

Hi Tom, sorry this is a bit delayed, but a big thank you for sponsoring your awesome kits to me for my tournament. Sorry I didn't get as many photos as I'd have liked, got a bit swamped.
Glad to see business is going well for you, and anyone thinking about getting these kits, I would recommend them!

These are looking really nice. Any plans for some... one-use orbit-to-surface insertion vehicles? A kind of a pod, that armoured science fiction warriors of the far future might use to drop in to combat?

lol nice description, no, no plans but it is a good idea, i will add it to my ideas list =)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Missile Silo with missiles
one missile silo with or/ with out resin missiles.
This building is my first to feature movement the hatch in the centre is hinged and can be opened / closed at will
This makes it great for games such as capture, defend or destroy
the design is packed with detail such as rivet and icons
That is just simply some MORE of the best laser cut work i've seen! I love it. you've got some amazing stuff I just wish I didn't live on an island far far away.....
OK, so I've assembled the 1st set of drawers, the 1st paint rack, the corner rack and the corner rack box riser thingy.
Quality is very good, the parts slot together very well well a very small amount of "slop" in the fitting. As you can see from the pics when assembled the racks and drawers are quite substantial. I'll get the other bits assembled tomorrow if I can find time.
The instructions could be clearer, exploded diagrams would help but I seemed to have managed it OK with what I got.

Hi - I recently bought 2 of these.
The instructions read that there are 10 shelf support beams but both kits only have 9....
I don't think that this will make a difference to their stability - paint pots aren't that heavy!
Just wanted to give you a heads up. Have a great Christmas.
I will try to come up with a design for the comp. Keep up the good work!
Automatically Appended Next Post: BTW - are we designing to 2mm thick MDF - the rules don't state.
Cheers.

hello
thank you for letting me know, i will look into it as there should be 10, maybe one got removed from the plans by accident or something. It me know if you need them sending to you.
yes 2mm mdf you can also use Perspex as well, i did write a list of materials. it’s in the detailed materials section on my webpage
A few new buildings to show off. let’s start with the winner of my competition
A design for a industrial tower using pringle tubes.
A large double barracks with a small platform in the centre.
This one was a request from a while ago.
It’s a fairly large building at 320mm x 290mm
It is packed with detailed tiles all over the roof and has optional doors / windows.
A large factory/warehouse designed to fill maximum floor space.
Features a removable roof with access to the inside, two large doors allow for medium/small tanks and vehicles to enter the buildings.
The roof has space for a large platform and a chimney stack, which can be placed anywhere
Inside there is a large open room with space for several vehicles or even and objective with several entrance to assault from. There is a balcony which will give line of sight over the battle but sacrifices cover
Measure 295mm x 295mm x 200mm (not including chimneys)
This is a simple kit that will be easy and quick to assemble and has massive scope for customising the interior and exterior
This is the first version of the upcoming Refuse Furnace.
It needs a bit on work on it, to add some more details and make best use of the wood to reduce waste
The building is packed with details and interesting parts.
There are two refuse inputs which are fitted with crushing rollers and hinged doors that can be opened / closed at will
The roof features a ventilation system and the side of the building there is a fan assisted fume stack
Only just found this thread. And very glad I did. I have one of your paint pot storage racks that I got through ebay. It went together really easily and its really sturdy. Keep up the great work!

thank you and thanks for taking the time to share your experience
This is my new power plant this is a finished version of it, its following my new industrial style buildings.
This is a large detailed building 260mm x 260mm x 170 (excluding chimneys)
It features are large generator on the side of the building that rotates freely. This part is very detailed and has an optional warning plate and details.
The rest of the building is packed with details that can be placed freely.
The roof has a large open balcony perfect for defence guns
This kit is the first to feature pipes as standard. it has to sections of pipes for extra details
An ork teleporta, this was and entry in my competition and won second place
This is a highly detailed compact building with a few construction options.
The barriers around the edge of the platform are optional along with all the detailed panels
The portal can be taken down for easy storage.
The platform is large enough to hold an Ork Trukk or a large squad
Dimmensions
wide 180mm
depth 290mm (including ramp)
height ~180mm (depends on position of skull on the portal)
next we have a small barracks that was a request.
The model is a good piece to use several scenarios such as capture and hold, attack and defend or just a basic annihilation game
The door / windows on each end of the barracks can be covered over of left open
Dimensions are
wide 300mm
depth 160mm
height 100mm
Again another request for a double barracks
The model is a good piece to use several scenarios such as capture and hold, attack and defend or just a basic annihilation game
The building features a platform in the centre can be left free so it can be positioned in different places each game.
The doors / windows on each end of the barracks can be covered over of left open
Dimensions are
wide 320mm
depth 290mm
height 100mm
This is the final version of the upcoming Rubbish Furnace a lot of detail has been added to it
It needs a bit on work on it, to add some more details and make best use of the wood to reduce waste
The building is packed with details and interesting parts.
There are two refuse inputs which are fitted with crushing rollers and hinged doors that can be opened / closed at will
The roof features a ventilation system and the side of the building there is a fan assisted fume stack
The building is on a 200mm x 200mm base.
A brand new building from me, The Ingot Factory.
This is one of my most detailed buildings i have produced. It is packed with industrial features.
There is a large tank on top of the building to store red hot metal in which then runs down in to a smaller tank ready to be poured into ingot moulds. This area would look great painted up in reds/yellows using object source lighting techniques to represent the glow of molten metal. Both tanks have an extra piece of wood in them to represent the level of the metal and provide a great flat surface to paint onto. These can the altered in height between two levels
The rest of the building features numerous industrial themed details. Along the walls we have area vents to feed the internal furnace to keep all the metal molten and heat extractors to take area excess heat
it’s a decent size at 250mm x 290mm.
At the front of the control tower we have some pipes supplying fuel to heat the metal.
This listing is for one Tech post. laser cut buildings intended for Warhammer and other 28mm scale table top wargames
A simple building, with a large balcony for positioning your troops on.
All doors and windows can be covered or left open,
The inside can be accessed from underneath via hollow base, or from above if you dont glue the roof on
Dimensions are
wide 300mm
depth 200mm
height 75mm
This is the large hex bunker; this impressive building is highly detailed.
The first one to feature Coloured Perspex
The roof and door can be removed at any time.
It comes with 3 gun variants all of which can be made and a radar dish.
The bunker measures 160 x 290 x 54 mm The bunker also come the a heap of extra walls / barricades, tank traps and hedgehogs
This building covers a large area very well and would make a great centrepiece for an attack / defend game
And when you are finished you can store all the parts inside out of the way and well protected
I've never much cared for laser-cut buildings, but the depth of your product range is staggering. There buildings are pretty fantastic. I love the big double barracks.

Any rough estimates for shipping weight to Australia? if anyone else near me wants to go in for shipping so we can get a bunch i'm keen soon! I love the thought and design in all of these buildings!

Thanks for the info, shame though as the conversion rates and costing make it pretty much unfeasible to buy as much as i'd want to won't stop me from watching and wanting though.

Very reasonable prices as well actually, need another piece of terrain for my Haqqislam mercenary missile base and that missile silo looks like it will fit the bill!
The centre of the building has a large open pit with a rotating crushing arm, this is covered by a large grill with two inputs on either side.
The machine is fed by carts which are cranked up the sides by tracks, the carts can be placed anywhere on the tracks and the buckets can be positioned in a tipping position, these buckets would look great if there were filled with fine slate or similar to add to the feel of the building.
There is a control room, the door and windows can be covered as seen or left open.
This building features black pipes, There are two large section that you can place anywhere and a smaller 2 pipe section to place on top of the grill.
This consist of
6 long fence panels
4 short fence panels
4 corners
1 large gate 2 small gate
18 End wall sections or joiners
8 end details used if you have a wall the does not join another
One set will make up a compound roughly
450mm x 325mm
You can also make it up into a fence of any shape. This could be a long straight fence or one that goes around buildings etc. using the corners
Dimensions are
corners width 75mm x depth75mm x tall 90mm
large walls length 150mm x depth 21mm x tall 90mm
small walls length 75mm x depth 21mm x tall 90mm
This uses 8 card tubes as well as my laser cut wood, these are included in the kit. The kit is packed with detail on the walls and floors, it is pretty simple to construct and can be rearranged each time you use it by not gluing the pipes and floors in place.
This kit is hugely customisable. The sections can be stacked and arranged in anyway with the ability to locate the pipe supports in any location.
The sections can have multiple pipes coming off them. the floors can be arranged on top of the pipes as walkways or on the sides as wall.
There are a bunch of ladders that double up as barriers.
Comes with 4 value sections, that fit directly onto the pipes.
These kits can work in multiples extending the size of the kit
The board this kit is laid out on it 900x600mm so this kit can be arranged to cover a large area, or set up in a more compact nature
As much as I love it, I still really despise you for being so bloody far away from Australia :-(
all of your products and I mean ALL of them are simply amazing and so full of brilliant ideas it just pains me so much I can't really get them *sigh* keep it up I still enjoy seeing what you do! :-)
This is pretty neat! Have you considered adding the device that toy trains used to use to create smoke for your smoke stacks? I think it was just a small heating element and a few drops of machine oil (back in the day, sewing machine oil or similar).

thank you, I had thought of this before there are also the pond misting ones that use water. My concern with using them has been MDF loves to suck up moisture. It really needs a test, the wood at least would need a varnish

Thanks for your kind words. I am sorry about the shipping rates, they really are a pain and it’s something i am powerless to fix which is really annoying as it prevents people such as yourself from enjoying my buildings
You could bypass the need for a varnish on the wood (for the smokestack idea) by including a length of metal tubing (or styrene if there's no real heat that would cause problems). Just more food for thought.
Love the idea of the kickstarter, I can't believe nobody's done it before! especially the motorised parts.
Are all of the LEDs going to be solid or will some have different effects? (Pulsing lights for the Reactor stacks would be awesome, as would flickering ones for the blasted power station or mineral crusher)
Also are the LED colours going to be fixed to what they are in the sample pictures or can we pick?

In depth look at the promethea pump
One of the three buildings to feature powered movement. The building features dual oscillating arms run from a single motor. The arms are supported on pivots in the centre and strongly anchored into metal ball bearings.
The rest of the working parts are made from plastic to ensure longevity and reliability.
The design allows easy access to the motor, moving parts and battery case.
The entire pump has various detailed sections to it and is housed in a fenced complex.
This building measures 400 x 194 x 162mm.
The building was a particularly fun one to design and was one of my first ideas for this project. The arms are powered by a single motor with dual outputs and 2AA batteries.
The arms can be set at opposites or sync depending on how you build it.
The base is fairly large allowing smaller models to get between the fence and the actual building
so head over to here to get the full picture and story

the problem with this is most my buildings are not on sprues or only have the small parts them, which is a huge problem for other companies.

Wargamemodelmods supported one of our Bolt Action tournaments a couple of years ago with some bunkers as prize support, they were cracking models, simple to put together and painted up really well. Could not endorse any higher.

How did I only just spot this? A great idea seemingly well executed, definitely backing based on the quality of the one scenery piece I purchased from you last year. I reckon this stuff will be absolutely perfect for the likes of Maelstroms Edge or Tomorrows War.

Just the picture in my head would be a tower, at least 3 stories, not sure how modular you could make it for add-ons to go higher? And then a small radar/satellite dish on top. Each level could have a small platform around it, so models on 25mm bases could fit. Possibly based on the towers of your hydrocarbon plant, or even use the pringles can concept from your silos? And maybe an option for a walkway to be added on? So if someone wanted to buy two towers they could connect them, using the walkway from either your Defense Line or The skypad tower set
This is a really good idea, nice one.
I will point some people in your direction, and I hope you do well, I think you will have a decent size market for this sort of thing.

Many thanks, I'll get some pics uploaded in the gallery once I've painted a few. Well if this ks goes well for you, it would definitely be worth considering after you've finished fulfilling.
It has been two weeks since I launched my Kickstarter
www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargame-model-mods/integrated-wargame-buildings
It has been an amazing experience so far for me I have thoroughly enjoyed making the new buildings for the stretch goals, hearing your suggestions and ideas.
The feedback and messages I have been getting about it has inspired me to keep adding more stretch goals and to add more features and freebies.
The video shows the current stretch goals, some new ones and a massive surprise addition to the project.
Head over to the Kickstarter page for the full campaign and if you like what you see, please sign up to a pledge so I can keep making new buildings and coming up with new ideas.
There are several more stretch goals in development.
Good timing on this kickstarter, my buddy and I are replacing our terrain after a house fire destroyed everything we had. Bumped up my pledge from the 5 building pack to 10 and i'm still having trouble deciding what to get because everything looks great! Keep up the awesome work.

Have you considered selling the lighting/motor kits separately? some people may already have existing buildings they wish to light up or add motion to.
I promised my girlfriend I wouldnt buy anything until next month so I'll be cutting it close on my pledge, but I'll give what I can. Really loving the skypad and detail sheets!

hello
yes i have given this much thought, the problem is if you have built the building then addind the kits post construction would prove quite difficult, adding motion would be just as hard. the other problem is the buildings have been altered to allow acces for the wires and leds.
getting a drill or other tool in to do this on interior walls or hard to reach places may not be possilbe

Alternatively will there be options for some of the new building designs without the LEDs/ motors? I like some of the buildings but not sure i need them lit/ moving for gaming purposes.

At the moment plans only exist for integrated versions.
You could just not add the electronic parts to them. Some of the kits, the hub for example, you would not notice if you didn’t add lights.
But others like the promethea pump cannot be built with out them

Both the Street lights and Smoke generaters have been unlocked.
These are some street lights to add to your buildings / boards they will look great on top of other buildings, on corners or tucked away in crevasses. They are very small 36 x 36 x 115mm. They are made from laser cut mdf that has a pattern cut in it that allows it to bend.
£5 each or £20 for 5
Red, Green, White, Blue or RBG colour change.
These are not available as a building choice in a bundle pledge.
A small smoke generator that will fit into my standard chimney design. These are available in one and two chimney versions. They emit a small stream of smoke that dissipates after about 50cms and will drift upwards. It uses 0.3ml of fluid at a time.
Each kit contains one MDF ring to hold the generator in the chimney. 10ml of the smoke liquid, one smoke generator, one battery pack, one battery power cable, cable connecter, and syringe.
Add £15 to your pledge for a single kit.
Add £28 to your pledge for a double kit suitable to add to dual chimneys or two buildings.
Each generator needs 10 AA batteries to run.
Extra smoke fluid can be added, for £3.50 for 50ml add this to your pledge.
The smoke generator comes with the parts to add this to my chimneys but it can be added to any of my other buildings by drilling a 6ml hole and inserting the unit into the hole. It needs to be placed in an accessible area as the fluid needed needs to be inserted into the top of the module.
The skypad is a huge landing platform that can hold even the largest flying machines. It features 12 lights on the top to light up anything on top of it, as well as lights around the outside. The ramps have a fairly gentle climb so most models will stand on them nicely. There is a gangway and a tower in the works for this building as well and will be available separately at a later date. Measures 300 x 350 x 60 mm.
Add £17 to your pledge.
Detail Sprue Unlocked
This small sprue is packed to the brim, it makes up two extractor fans and two solar panels, and also has 4 small hatches, It is great for adding some personality to your buildings.
One free for everyone getting a building, additional sets can be added for £1 each. This sprue will not be available after the kickstarter.
I was asked for pictures of my buildings set up in a game.
I don’t have any areas large enough other than my floor so i have had to use that. We have a 4x3 foot and a 4x6 foot rectangle taped on the floor to represent the table top.
I have also done several setups ranging from sparse to dense on both sizes, and tried to use as many different buildings as possible.
I started with the Eldar style buildings and did a simple set up on the 3x4 table. We have all three of the Eldar buildings and most of the barricades. These three buildings provide impressive coverage and block line of sight across the middle of the table but allow it down the edges of the table, the buildings and barricade provide plenty of cover for models.
Next i moved on the other types of buildings again we have a sparse set up on the small table size.
Here we have the Reactor cores, Rubbish furnace, Tech post, the Node and Tool factory. The buildings break up the table effectively, giving several different routes with varying lengths of line of sight.
A view from above
Adding some models to the table, we have a mix of tanks, troops and a flyer.
Now we add some more buildings and swap some to larger buildings, in this set up the flyer has much less freedom as line of sight is blocked a lot more. The flyer will sit comfortably on the top of most my buildings due to them being flat and the ability to remove items such as guns. The buildings in this picture are the Reactor cores, the Hub, Pylon, Beacon, Armoury and Tool factory.
Here we have kept the same buildings but spread them out over the large size table, we also have much larger demo armies. This set up provides much larger lines of sight but still have plenty of areas to hide.
Now I have filled the board up with more buildings, I have added the Sector base, Tech post, and both versions of the Power station. This setup has reduced a lot of the long line of sight but left a couple. There is still plenty of room to move large models around.
Here i have swapped out the smaller building for large ones. The new buildings added are the Sector base, Tech centre, Hydrocarbon power plant and Missile factory. This set up now blocks line of sight a lot more for taller models like tanks and flyers.
Let’s take a look down low from the models perspective. The buildings do a great job at blocking line of sight, even with a packed table there is plenty of room to manoeuvre tanks and vehicles.
21st stretch goal - locked
Modular stackable hab units, with Perspex windows and a huge array of detail.
Measures 100 x 95 x 50mm
22nd stretch goal - locked
Modular stackable hab units, with Perspex windows and a huge array of detail. This is a double size unit
Measures 100 x 95 x 50mm
23rd Stretch goal - locked
Large hab unit, it can have the smaller units stacked on the centre and they will tessellate around the outside. Single hab unit will fit around the tower, but stand proud by 1mm around the edges.
The lunar outposts come with doors and some of the windows are optional, they can be solid panels or window panels. The buildings are pretty quick and simple to make and look great. There is a larger version to come and a few extras for them.
The temporal distortion field has a rotating section that spins around the central plasma ball.
The rotating arms are mounted on two metal ball bearings and powered directly from the motor rotating about once a second.
The building is pretty compact and has the motor and batteries in the top and the whole plasma ball can be removed to allow easier battery change.
Final add-on. A set of wide corridors for the lunar out post buildings, three in a set a small airlock and a 75mm corridor and 150mm corridor. They can fit straight up against your buildings or have an airlock bulkhead on the side facing out.
Final stretch goal has been unlock at £23000.
This is the tower to fit on the skypad. It comes with ladders, various detail panels such as fans and grills and 4 barricades high enough to block line of site.
If you have the skypad pledge add £12 for the tower. If you would like both add £29.
I have been asked by a fair few people about a pledge manager. I will not be using one.
This means if there is items you would like on here you need to pledge for them before the time runs out. you will not be able to add after the kickstarter is over.
Regarding post cost, please make sure you have added the charge quoted by kickstarter when pledging or altering a pledge.
If you want to run your pledge past me to check it’s correct please do so.
A massive lunar outpost building, featuring plastic windows, doors and optional wall panels, you can choose between having some of them windows or solid panel.

Similar to the above building this is the Quad version and it is huge, featuring plastic windows, doors and optional wall panels, you can choose between having some of them windows or solid panel.
Roof is removable to allow access to inside, this building features a lot of etching work.
Measures 300 x 300 x 135mm
A set of four solar panels that fit nicely onto the lunar outpost buildings, they fit on any of the base walls and the large roof panels, it the actual solar panel can be positioned at 0, 22.5 or 45 degrees.
2 corridors and a mini airlock, corridors are 75 and 150mm long and 45mm wide, perfect for joining the separate building together and providing extra cover. Roofs are removable.
The temporal distortion field now includes a set of steps, it was added to some spare space that would of gone to waste.
Man, I lost track of this. So glad my smoke idea made it in! Glad to see some MDFKS fulfilling at a speed that makes sense. Waited way too long for my Burn-in Skyway stuff.

This is my ingot factory, it has been painted by Dan Taylor and he has done an amazing job. It has been painted as i imagined the building when i designed it a year ago. The molten metal stored in the Center of the building and slowly making its way down to the ingot molds.
The rest of the building features numerous industrial themed details. Along the walls we have air vents to feed the internal furnace to keep all the metal molten and heat extractors to take away excess heat
At the front of the control tower we have some pipes supplying fuel to heat the metal. (These are included in the kit)
Dimensions are
wide 250mm
depth 290mm
height 106mm
An example of the Tool Factory painted. It has been painted by The Goldfish of Justice.
The building is packed with details and interesting parts.
The entire building is surrounded by a conveyor belt, this belt is raised up on small wheels and a network of detailed supports.
On the belt are a series of tool molds, that are filled with the metal to make the tools, we can see this represented with the how the model has been painted
The launch of a new kickstarter by wargame-model-mods is today
Wargaming tiles with integrated lighting. For use as game boards or with corridors as dungeon style gaming tables for 28mm games
The Maze of the Dead is a fully customisable dungeon style gaming board which allows you to place walls in a totally different configuration every time you play.
The 6th stretch goal was unlocked today this is the Nuclear vault theme, it comes with some extra detailed walls that feature metal pipes, several wall variants with working doors, windows and extra details such as ventilation.
If you would like this set it is plus 10%
If you only want the tiles then there is no additional cost
This one was designed by John Morrison
Stretch goal 12 is another theme it is the mechanical construct.
This set is themed around a mechanical cog design. The boards come with 16 cog designs that glue on the underside of the base, each cog section is individually lit and can use the standard Red, blue and green lights or Multi colour lights. (please note the colours on each set of the multi colour lights are not always the same) by having two lights in one section you can mix the colours to get even more. Multi colour lights are currently not available for the other boards as they are a different type kit.
The first one is the ability to add wiring under the boards for those of you who want to connect all the lights to a mains power supply.
The addition of two squares on each side of the tiles that are held in place with tabs allow you to do this, and means those of you who do not want to do this can leave them in place.
For those wanting to add wiring, you would simply cut the tabs and clean up the hole with a file or scalpel you can then fit wires up to 4mm under the tiles.
The second change relates to the second shape seen in the above pictures, again it is optional. By removing this section you can now fit in a small connector sections to hold your separate tiles together
Connectors in place, at the end of each connector are some rounded bumps which slot into the underside of the tiles, the round shape help them find the locators on the tiles and slot quickly into place.
The connectors allow for a slight amount of give for ease of set up but will prevent you from knocking your tiles apart
Above one of the connectors below slotting a second tile onto connectors
Below are pictures of the tiles upside down, you can see the square cut out for wire to pass through and the slots for the connectors and in the second picture are the connectors in place.
I will be providing two free connectors for each board you have pledged for.
Finally i have been asked a couple of time how the lights fit in place, here is a picture of an internal part inside the tiles, the wire slots into the cut outs with the LED sitting on the protruding piece of wood in the middle.
Tomorrow i will be adding the first sets of add-ons these are all inspired by suggestions and ideas from my backers, if you have any thing you would like to see please suggest it.
There will be 8 coming tomorrow, most of them relating to access such as ramps and stairs. None of them will need unlocking and they will all be cheap around the £5 mark per set / item
This is a 4x4 foot gaming board using 16 tiles 40 corners and 96 wall sections. you can select this exact set up on the kickstarter, it is the 4x4 Dungeon board.
The theme is that of a human outpost with Gothic style walls, although you can choose to use different walls with these tiles if another set takes your fancy.
There are 6 other designs as well on this project, numerous stretch goals and 8 add-ons.
Stretch goal 8 has been unlocked and number 14 revealed.
These stretch goals can be pledged for on there own and would be great to add details to your existing buildings at an amazing kickstarter price
use the "Building themes" pledge to get these or any other unlocked theme package.
Goal 8 is for the first of the themed sets this one is Sensors.
It Contains 6 consoles, 16 mini displays, 6 mini cameras and 12 sensors.
Stretch goal 14 is the brilliant mechanics room.
Featuring a bunch of damaged vehicles, drones and turrets and all the equipment to fix them.
it contains two drone docks and damaged drones, two jacks and mini vehicles, 2 work tables, 2 damaged turret parts, and a bunch of tools, bits and bobs and various parts.
Well I think i'm going to have to bite the bullet one day and buy a board and get it shipped to Australia, I know it will cost an arm and a leg but that stuff is exactly what I love! won't be anytime soon but its a goal. you really do some beautiful work with the laser cutting with such individual ideas and concepts.

we are approaching £10,000 only £450 to go, the next freebie will be unlocked when we get there, its going to be a useful one for anyone regardless of your pledge.
keep an eye out this weekend for new add-ons and a brand new style of tiles and walls
Some more examples of how you can set up the gaming boards on my kickstarter. There a loads and loads of ways you can use them and every time you play you can be using a new layout.
We have a first look at a city board set up on a 4x4 board using buildings from my website and another one using both buildings and walls.
A space hulk style set up with boarding action between two ships alternately it could be two parts of the same base with one half captured by the enemy. This uses a few of the add-ons, the corridors and small stairs. This weekend airlocks will be added as an add-on which would add to this style of set up.
and finally a set up leaving a void in the center of the setup for buildings or use as a large open area, this area could even be a no go area making for a large board spread out in an odd shape.
The boards seen here are the Area 51 and Chaotic compound and the walls on the Area 51(blue) tiles are the Cyberspace corridors and on the Chaotic compound(red) tiles are the tech crypt walls. You can mix and max your tiles and floors to get setups like this or get an entire board of just one theme.
And you can find a huge amount of pictures on my website many of which are not on kickstarter. you can have a closer look at the tiles, walls and all the stretch goals.
Please share this around in your groups and to anyone you think may like it, this kickstarter give you the opportunity to grab these at amazing discounts.

I really like this... it is almost exactly what I'm looking for minus 2 parts. 1) It now needs angled ramps that lead from that level to the lower level, that can be used as a roadway. 2) the lower part needs to have doors and be accessible, with rooms/dungeon/sewer within it.

hello
i don't think i have enough time to get both these added to the kickstarter, they are great ideas.
the ramp i should be able to get done but not the internal part.
if you were to pledge i would be able to sort the second part out as a post kickstarter commission
Final couple of days to grab yourself a Maze of the dead board at these prices. There will be no pledge manager so if you want to get in you need to do it during the kickstarter. They will go on general sale after every pledge has been fulfilled.
Please share this post in your gaming groups/clubs and to anyone who may be interested in this as time is running out.
If you are after one of these but do not want the lights or magnets you can choose not to have them.

I picked up one of the kits a few months ago. Not had time to construct it yet but it's planned to be a cyber-conversion factory for the Doctor Who game.

wow amazing idea, i would love to see that finished, im a big dr who fan
This Kickstarter is aiming to bring a new aspect to my buildings, that being tubes and pipes.
These kits offer immense detail at my regular amazing prices and while on the Kickstarter you can bag some great deals as the prices are even lower.
The project is launching with 45 kits and a handful of add-ons. i will be adding more add-ons and stretch goals as the campaign progresses and would love feedback on ideas to add.
Please share the campaign on your forums, Facebook pages/groups, Reddit and anywhere you like. I will be adding a reward for backers who do show in the coming days.
Check out the buildings and let me know what you think in the comments on Kickstarter or Facebook.
The big rig is a step into vehicles for me and one of my first proper kits in the area.
It features a lot of detail and walkways for your models. It is a very large kit at 550x140x160mm.
The rear is detachable and is fully articulated and the wheels rotate.
The kit would be perfect for orcs with a bit of conversion or any gaming board with some roads. it blocks line of sight and offers a place to put troops into cover.
The trailer is fine, but the front of that truck is just too square and breaks the immersion for me. It really looks like two different designers at completely different ends of the skill package worked on this kit.

its my first proper vehicle kit, they will get better as i do more
Not necessarily ruins - more factory/power type facilities made up of tubes and machinery that you can use as cover whilst being able to place models in and around
Kinetochore wrote: Not necessarily ruins - more factory/power type facilities made up of tubes and machinery that you can use as cover whilst being able to place models in and around
okay thank you, that is a good idea, i have added it to my list to get added,
Looking great! Glad to see you using, well, actual tubes. MFD is great for what it does, but it doesn't do tubes well. I prefer to add things to a basic set rather than build ever single part out of thin flat pieces of wood.
Kinetochore wrote: Loving the chemical silo. The smaller scatter terrain style stuff is great idea too.
Thank you, more scatter terrain stuff to come

cheers, yes i think the tubes work really well.
The first batch of stretch goals have also been added, these first ones are some small silos and containers that are found on the larger buildings. They are great scatter terrain and Kickstarter exclusives and will not be sold anywhere else but on here.
Stretch goal 5 has been added this is a tower that will fit on top of the majority of the buildings, and buildings you already have or can be used on its own. The roof is removable and it has sliding windows. The base measures 75x75mm.
Two new stretch goals that are very a interesting part of this project have now come to the surface. As you will have noticed a lot of the building have these large loading bay style door and some have the ring pipe attachment.
These are not just decoration but are attachment points for extra you cab add to the buildings.
The first two are being announced today they are the Landing pad and the Service line.
2 new addons have been added after requests for them.
A set of 20x crates from the depot perfect for making stacks of scatter terrain or adding to buildings.
A set of 2x bridges that can link the Smoke stacks, Fuel dump and Quad silos. they can be used on any building but specifically attached to these.
A close look at the Gamma ray collector, a unique looking kit from the Tubular buildings Kickstarter.
The set contains a small building with optional lighting and removable roof and a set of three collectors.
Each collector is a stack mdf cut-outs making up these interesting objects on one side of the building.
The kits is a decent size at 225x265x78mm and is pretty simple to build.
Great at blocking line of sight for troops and vehicles and looks great on the table top or on display.
The kit also included a row of six pipes on the back that can be painted up as power cores, water tanks or similar.
Also included are two optional doors and optional detail such as the cctv cameras.
Below are painted and unpainted pictures of the set with green lights.
Prices are very reasonable at £20 + shipping
or you can get it in a bundle with other buildings at a further reduced cost per building.
2 buildings at £40 +pp 3 buildings at £55 +pp 5 buildings at £95 +pp
Example board using the buildings from the tubular buildings kickstarter.
It features 5 of the commercial building and a bunch of the stretch goals and add-ons to make a very good table.
The addition of all the add-ons really break up the board and blocks line of sight across much of the map.
Several of the picture feature some 28mm models to show scale
Use of these attachment points can make your building your own by changing the shape of it, adding additional detail, connecting them together
Many of the different building have one or more attachment point. There are two types one for pipes and a loading door version.
The pipe version has three different sets so far a Service line, a flare stack and a pack of power cores + water tanks
The loading door attachments currently have the Landing pad, and a set of detail attachments
These sets can really change the dynamic of a building for example adding a landing pad and pipeline suddenly gives you a vantage point for troops to fire from and the pipeline snakes around the table top creating nooks and tight spaces for you troops all while blocking line of sight.
Adding some of the detail sets or water tanks change your building outline making it better at blocking line of sight and more interactive as you can weave in and out of the different sections.
Adding the flare stack again gives you some very high vantage points, the flare stack can be joined onto the Ammo dump, Smoke stacks and Quad silos using the bridges, your building could find itself at the centre of a maze between a maze of gangways.

We have a set of ruins and the foremans office add-on for the promethium rig.
The foremans office sits at the same height as the promethium rig and is connected by a single bridge. The railing can be cut in any place to allow the bridge to join on anywhere you wish.
The office comes with the same sliding doors as the rig and a removable roof.
Love seeing the work you're doing on this stuff. I don't have the funds to get in on anything, but the oil rig/platform is fantastic - something I'd have loved to have picked up sometime. Really slick.

Hi, I'm assembling the walkways and extention building for the KS and it seems that there's a small problem with the walkways.
The recesses at the end of the walkways to clips them to the border of the building are missing 1 or 2 mm to be wide enough to fit on the rim of the roof.
