Sure there "are" smaller bars.. the thing is, this one has parking and a fairly large bar given the amount of space.. all I was saying is that it would be nice if there were a way to expand it so it was as large as a normal bar.
As far as gaming in a tokyo-like setting.. I think that crowded of a table with that many buildings is out of the question for your average gamer. That would be a lot of really dense terrain, tall buildings, and while it could be an awesome diorama it would be extremely crowded for moving models around.
In SoCal I'm sure there are bars that are as small as the ones in question as well but the vast majority of the ones I've been in are roomier (usually by far). Fire code limits the amount of occupants that can be in an area based on square footage and clear routes to a safe exit. For businesses this can usually be a determining factor on a lot of things. I'm not really trying to turn this into a thing.. I made an observation and as per freakin usual the internet tries to tell me I'm wrong to have an opinion.. All I was saying is that "again" it would be nice if there was a way to customize the floor space of said imaginary drinking establishment.


On the new vehicle: What is the diameter of the wheels? I've seen a lot of good MDF vehicles and these look interesting but I would definitely want to hunt down replacements for those wheels.

I wouldn't think that far future bar owners are concerned with modern day US fire codes.

This is a small bar, that may not even on planet earth.

Your idea of a large bar is subjective because the places I drink in are, on the whole, about that sort of size (Country pubs near my home, small dives in city centre). Scaled up, obvs - I don't drink in tiny 28mm venues. What is this? A bar for ANTS?!

edit - please don't read that as me being a pr1ck. I know it's difficult getting a point across on the 'net!

FTR, I'd love to go to place where I wasn't stood in someones back pocket for once!

And another to be On Topic - I like that kit! As my Infinity career expands, I'm sure I could find room for it.

There is a reason why 28mm buildings aren't scaled realistically. It is often easy to build buildings in terms of heights with doors, windows and floors but it is rarely done for length. However buildings in length and width to proper scale will take up more tablespace than gamers usually want. That is why buildings are always compressed. It is easier to do in 6-10mm scales but at 28mm (which isn't really a scale) it becomes harder.

Using the example of the bar, in the corner table area, you can actually put 3-6 miniatures there in that space, including one sitting down. You don't get that feeling in gaming though because only one miniature will fit there, this is because of the size of the base. There is a lot of room taken up by a 25mm base, not to mention added height, even though multiple miniatures (without bases) could fit there. When gaming it gives the feeling that it is smaller than it really is. If it was to be realistic with width to fit multiple figures on bases, then the bar becomes gigantic. Although that is great for an RPG setting, it isn't the best setup for wargames even games like Infinity. Yes the bar has parking but it is bike parking, making a place for 5 bikes, so the place is going to e smaller than the normal bar.

Long time no see as we were busy once again.

We have something new though in the area of objectives...

For anyone with the military fences, how stable are they and how well could they blend with civilian buildings?

The design juices were flowing heavy this week and such the last objective marker was born. The short range antenna.

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.

I really like that antenna array.


The planters are clever, as well.

We've got some new base overlays - designed especially for HINT the boardgame - they come in standard sizes 25, 40 and 55mm. Will be available in store tomorrow.

Finally after some monumental design work we can proudly show you what we have been working on for past weeks. A fully realised police station - hope you like it as much as we do.

Now that could be one hell of a mission generator for Infinity.

Any idea what price you're looking at for that when it's done?

Not until I actually cut this one - but you know our philosophy - affordable terrain does not mean an ugly one.

Great news. I can't wait to see this one complete.

If I could offer a suggestion - entrances on more than one side would make the peice much more attractive.

That looks great.

Suddenly an Assault on Precinct 13 Infinity scenario makes sense.

That building looks great. About the small rooms, you have a little guy in them, is he on a 25mm base or 30mm? I would suggest using a 30mm base for your measurements so they can fit those rounded edge warmachine style bases

Due to some valid points made on the playability of the interior we have added one more ingress point on the back wall opposite to the main entrance - that makes the interior accessible from two sides of the building.

Well that went just went from an almost certain purchase to an essential buy.

When do you think it will be hitting your store?

Once we get the prototype cut and up we will know the exact pricing - as mentioned before.

As for ETA it will be couple of weeks at least.

I shared it on the Infinity Australia facebook page and there's a lot of interest in it there. One question which came up though was do you guys have a distributor or stockist in Australia?

We do not sell to retail just yet.

We send stuff to Oz on more than couple occasions though.

On another note here's our FB page you can follow if you're interested what 's coming up and such.

We got the prototype up of the police station. It will fly to the painters next week and we expect it in the store in the next 2-3 weeks.

Estimated price will be 37.5€ for the exterior and 50€ for both.

SO MUCH WANT.

I'm hunting down flavour buildings for my Infinity city board. That would be a perfect addition, and it looks simpler to build than some of the small buildings I've built recently. Looking at your website, you've got some fantastic stuff that I absolutely want.

Nice work. I'm a detail junkie so resin terrain is my preference, but you've done the best with the limitations of the material you're working with. that police station is particularly impressive.Those buildings would look equally at home in Infinity or the mass effect Universe.
