Nice weathering on the plug!

Lucky boy.

Sorted at last. Looking forward to seeing you return to full masterhood.

Job; Good good.

Plug; I see how that could be a problem.

Bad plug, naughty!

Glad to hear you're settling in ok at work, looking forward to you re-starting your Adventure.....

Damn, that looks like it could have been major trouble, Dave. Glad you ducked that bullet!

I intend to buy one (1) Taurox for converting purposes. I will buy one of the WGF Halftracks to add to be collection of optional sci-fi vehicles, and test to see how easy it is to convert to 40K models.

--B.

Ouch. Now please tell me you have also checked the outlet. I had a friend who when he moved into a new place, discovered that the previous owner had done some wiring of his own in the basement. Almost melted the casing completely from a plug.

Good dodge of the fire bullet replacing plug Dave +5 to ingenuity!

As always the hotshot round missed its mark , that's why the redemptionists are still rebel scum and not the religious leaders of 40k.

I've been checking the new plug all day, cool as a cucumber. It was on one of those junk 6 outlet extender things before. now that circuit is dedicated only to the lights and airbrush compressor, and on a 6 foot server rack power strip. Heavy duty stuff.

I know my house needs electrical work, its 70+ years old, it needs updating on everything . Now lets see some modeling

Hear, hear, hear...

Glad to see this thread is still going places.

And my two cents, they'll always be IG to me too. I do want some of those plastic stormies, though. Not the Taurox, but the guys. They look pretty good to me.

Let's take a look at a product for a change shall we?

Wolsong Laser-etched MDF XIX Century Walls from Micro Art Studio

In each package you get one sheet of each of these


A little bit of cutting tabs and popping out and you get these parts

The wall supports are built like this


The idea is to build the walls by sandwiching two of the support frames with one of the poured concrete parts.

However, to better match some of the factory Walls in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, I'm thinking of using the supports over a brick inner wall. I dunno yet. It would essentially double the walls you get from one kit too.
As with all MAS laser-etched kits, you'll want to save the little punch-out bitz for excellent brick rubble.

Some of the first demo pics of the walls showed it with brick inner walls, not sure why they went with the poured concrete look in the end


Despite the name "XIX Century Steampunk" these walls appeal to me for either the Dieselpunk/Atomicpunk world of Fallout or even 40K (Despite some of my readers brainwashed misgivings about bricks in 40k )

Very interesting terrain dave. I can totally see how this could become necromunda terrain. Lots of possibilities in there.

Nice looking stuff. Only trouble I can see would be texture. MDF is very smooth. The concrete panels could do with roughing up. Maybe rough sanding?

Whats the price like? Availability internationally?

Oh and good to see you back.

That's what the airbrush and creative edge highlighting is for Cam But I see the texture thing may be why they went with the poured concrete thing in the end. Those bricks look like plasticard to me.

MAS is generally UK only, I found two of these on ebay ($17+free shipping) just to try them out. If it works, I may order more.
These other building kits are also out

but without the cool windows. No sign of the upper structures on these walls yet.

They make spray texture for interior walls. Might be a little "big" but you could use that to get some texture, then paint it.

Naa, not worried about that, I can fake texture with paint no problem. If anything, a little fine sand for real texture.

Hmm, I do like the fact that you can double up by only using those supports on one side...damn...I was trying to avoid picking up any terrain this weekend

Now why would you try to avoid that Monkey?

Umm...because I've barely touched the pile of terrain I picked up at last year's Salute (plus the stacks bought since ), and I want to try and get some actual minis finished for a change?

That's just nonsense. you have to have it on-hand in order to be the most effective terrain kitbasher
Hoard now..so you can build on one of those common rainy days in the UK!

Hoarding:easier when they reproduce themselves

Sprues don't reproduce when left in darkened conditions

Don't tell my wife that! That's the only thing that lets me keep buying minis!

Monkey, can you get us pictures of Zinge's new buggy while you're there? Kit thinks he's clever with his teaser pics.

Options

It's on my to-do list Once I've made sure I've picked up a bunch of his stuff anyway....

Instant impression is I prefer the top version..........

Top version. Fo sho.

Bigger's always better.....well for terrain anyways , so I vote the top one as well.

Oh and piles of sprues are better bigger, though the bill attached to them is lays better smaller

Top version for 40k, future setting, bottom more Fallout esc, maybe.

Ach...wolsung stuff...that is the strong stuff....I love their...er...range
My vote is cor a general feel on the top version, tho I like the lower one as cam put it, it looks very convincing...and will be amazing when weathered...
