Hey folks,

I recently picked up a couple of the Platformer and Hexagon construction sets.



I wasn't crazy with the platforms hanging in space and obviously hollow platforms featured on the box, so I decided to try my hand at whipping up my own design. The results are below--







Note that there's a ladder on the wall near each of the ramps so there are three ways to get up to the second level. Pretty neat stuff, and well worth the money, I'd say.

nice and hefty looking piece of terrain. Would be good for MOST sci fi, I wager..

How many of each kit went into this?

-P

Nice piece and looks just the job for Necromunda. We used to use the exact kits you've got there and got some real good use out of them.

Just one Hexagon kit! It turns out you get a lot of stuff in the box. Here's what you can do with one Platformer and one Hexagon:





The Platformer kit I assembled into a several sections that aren't connected so that you can rearrange them for each battle. After playing with them a little, I'm thinking that I may want to reconfigure my Platformer catwalks into something a little more stable, but that's the beauty of these kits being snap together, I suppose. Really they're an amazing deal for anyone who wants some great looking terrain for not that much money.

These are some of the best pics I have seen of those terrain sets I have seen on Amazon. I am considering buying some myself. Thank you for posting them

Excellent share thankyou. I hope I can get some delivered to the UK.

Looks like they do a decent range of this kind of thing. You tried any of the other stuff? like the craters/rivers/walls? any idea what is good and what isn't cos this stuff looks cheap and cheerful

I'm glad you like it. I can't say that I've cracked open the box for anything other than the Platformer, Hexagon, and Chemical Plant sets. I'll be sure to put the Chemical Plant stuff up once I've got it together and I'm happy with it. At the price you really can't go wrong with buying a box and seeing if it suits you.

In terms of delivery to the UK, I see that they're for sale in the UK here: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/conflix/terrain-construction-systems/cat_1091.html
Of course, you should probably shop around, and maybe you can find them for less money. Heck, maybe you can even convince your local hobby store to carry them.

Thanks a lot pics of the chem plant please ^^

Looks good, now glue it together!

I love these, have a couple as well... inspired to get another 2 large boxes I think and finish off some necromunda terrain.

I use these extensively. Drives me crazy that the two sets don't line up height-wise, tho.

Yeah, I am going to stick with just the hex stuff... platformers isn't my thing

Wow this stuff looks great! I love the modular rearrangeable idea.

I've found the pipes from the chemical plant set are really useful for adding detail to my conversions. My looted Wagon and Stompa both have little bits of piping added to them. I bought mine when I was on holiday in Australia in Perth.

I haven't even tried assembling it how you are supposed to, but the bits look promising.

Everytime I see this stuff I kick myself - a few years ago I worked for a major toy retailer at a time when Airfix were trying to push a wargame (Robogear) which was bundled with this stuff. It sold so poorly that the stuff got properly slashed in price, I'd have been picking up these kits for about £5 apiece!

Sadly I didn't see the potential and Hornby announced a recall on the range.

Wow, this looks really cool. Great job. Slap some paint on it!

Wow I bought a small kit and a large kit (hexagon) a while back and was fairly impressed once I got the small kit assembled as pictured on the box.

However, I just didn't have the motivation to tackle the big box until I've stumbled upon this thread.

Great design! I will copy it exactly tomorrow!

Thats some pretty nice looking terrain right there.

Would be perfect for Necromunda.

Where did you say you got it? Amazon was it?

The syberclicks stuff is pretty good too
