Hmmm... possibilities....

Holy... someone has finally done it.

At first glance, they look about on par with Syberclicks and Hexagon regarding quality and design. Sadly, not having full-height walls really reduces their usefulness for terrain projects. Glorified catwalks, maybe?

Wow.... and its not that pricey either.
$35 to build:

Not bad not bad!

Will keep an eye on this. Have to wipe the dust on my space hulk set... haha

Odd - I was just thinking it was rather expensive. The IMEX Platformer kits come with a full box of sprues for half the price.
The company is also doing a good job of not showing large, detailed photos of the product. Hard to tell if they are hiding the quality, or just having trouble with their marketing.

Assembly guide:

Surprised they don't have more pictures on their site of the kits assembled. From the assembly diagram it looks like these could also be used for futuristic trench sets as well.

These are thicker than the IMEX stuff and these have walls. Just look at the tutorial. Its a niche product but it does it well.

Good job finding those pics. Looks quite sturdy.

A really nice product at a nice price - nice find and thanks for posting!

Also, please, please, PLEASE leave the 'funny' jokes about other products out of this thread.

OK?

I think I'm in love....

Made from 'ABS plastic' - that's not polystyrene, right? You'd need that weird solvent glue that some Plastruct uses? A shame, that will limit it's conversion potential (for me at least).

Scarletsquig over on Warseer dug out some clearer shots:


And a link to a huge one...

So I got a set today and the quality of plastic is on par with that of GW if not a little better -- I am able to remove mold lines with backwards scrap of razor blade easily and the parts fit together nicely.
I will get some photos as soon as possible -- with all sort of minis to show you size -- give me about 2 hours to build all of it.

I have been looking at terrain for doing bunker and ship assaults and this is by far the best price I have come across for the quantity I want

This product is so good in fact I am ordering 4 sets so I can build a nice ship interior to have some boarding action scenarios to play with my project slipstream minis. The fact the walls are only half a 32mm figure high is nice as if any taller I would not be able to fit my fingers in to move models. Now for 15mm use it is is great as the walls are as high as a figure but the corridors wide enough to still move around. Best part is the tiles are 40mm so a terminator will fit in side.

These sprues are 12 inches by 11 and imex sprues are 6.5 by 8 but are easier to assemble -- I have not had much luck with imex the pegs break and ussually only use imex for detailing buildings

All plastic glues are solvents. ABS and Polystyrene are compatible so they can be glued to each other, though a more universal solvent glue such as Plastruct Plastic Weld has better results than ones intended for a specific plastic. ABS is regarded as a more shock absobant of plastic; ABS is what Legos are made of.

quick update -- super glue works fine as well as model masters liquid cement for plastic models -- The real kicker is no glue is needed my parts are fitting together like a snap together kit and can come apart with out hurting plastic.

Not sure how that will hold up over time but is very cool --

This is, without any reasonable doubt, the best terrain kit to come out in quite awhile. Since cities of death at least.

I am obviously biased towards this kit with my unhealthy love affair for space hulk, but this thing really rocks.

Made of plastic, modular to construct your own stuff, interlocking...this products has it in spades.

Enormous bundle deal here I come.

Holy butts, this set is PLASTIC?!?
Sold!

If it was pre-painted, I would have ordered 3 on the spot, now I need to wait and get everything ELSE painted first...

Oh well, great stuff though!

I'm sure you could cement two wall sections on vertically to make it double height.

The leftover walkways could be used for catwalks, duckboards or futuristic PSP.

I am glad it isn't prepainted.

First off so I can make exactly the corridors that I want, and second because the price would have been WAY more than it already is.

If you want it prepainted, there are plenty of painting services out there that would love to charge you an arm and a leg to assemble it, spray it with black primer then dry brush it silver.

That or dwarven forge. They sell prepainted space corridors... so there you go.

They look good and sturdy, shame the postage would be more than the product.

Did you mean a joke like this :
'Wow those are some nice space corridors if only there was some form of industrial tower to go with it! Does anyone know where i could get some?'

I've seen these relatively obscure references to "Litko" all over Dakka. Could someone pretty please explain the joke?

I could see a use for that in my Deathwatch campaign, the part where my ultrasmurf PC gets eaten by a Lictor/Horde of Genestealers.

Too humid to prime and wanted to get some shots in before kids get hone and my free time is gone -- I built all this with no glue just because I don't know wich side of tile I want to use yet there is a b and a be side to the walls




I also could not resist adding some of project slipstream 15mm minis on tiles for a few shots -- shameless plug for my mini range




And now with Terminators -- Wish I had bought space hulk as those figures rock and would be perfect for this --
I like the short wall as the arms wont get in way on the dynamic poses when facing model.
Nice big tiles

$35 a set... very tempting.

Oh and if you want some 40k rules for them

Hmmm looks sturdy too. Thanks for those pictures micropanzer.

If I had one change to suggest it would have been having cover plates for the floors rather than set tiles. Just so you could have pipes running along with mesh floors plates or water or gribblies or whatever, but thats such a minor thing on what looks like a great product.

I couldn't see anything on UK/EU availability, does anyone know anything?

They would also be awesome for some EPIC scale ship boarding action too.

Did it many many many moons ago using a huge pile of space hulk tiles. These would also be great to use in epic hidden set up games, since you could place poster board on the walls to block vision.

You never know what is on the other side of a bulkhead...

Hey Micropanzer:

A couple questions.

How well does the interlocking work?

Is it a true interlocking where they lock snugly together?

Or is it more of a peg in a hole to keep them from shifting but can still easily slide out?

Niiiiiice, though aye, gotta wonder what the shipping rates to the EU are.
