Thanks Fellas..I'm feeling the top one too, although it does remind me of the smooth block walls you see in NYC Subways and public bathrooms.

Great to see back in the swing!

(Top one too, BTW)

Against the grain I prefer the smaller bricks dude! not sure why but I just like the image more!?

It's because your in the wrong hemisphere. A mixture of all the bad air sinking to the bottom half if the globe, all the poisonous critters your attacked by on an hourly basis and the fact your a marsupial who spent to much time in the pouch. You can tell its bad when you start stacking strange items that are within reach upon fuzzy animals. The animals placate you because they understand "it's not your fault, it's nearly where you live"

Dave can we get a shot of the two with a figure next to it for scale? I know I voted already, but just on the odd chance nerdfest is right.

Sure...

I still vote for the top one as it feels more industrial (cinderblock) sized than the bottom which is more residential sized. I guess though it would really matter more what color you would paint it. If you go reds then the second version, if you go grey then I'd go with the first version.

Thanks for the pic dave

Well, My workweek starts in a couple of hours. I'll stop by the Hobby Shop next monday and see if they have any other brick options too. Either way, I'll need to procure several sheets more than I have.

Do you know what scale those are that you have? You could always use the back of the sheets and make a mold out of it like I did with my sewer section walls. Mix up some dental stone and you'll have some hearty walls soon.....or just buy more plastic crack

Probably both O scale. I dunno, I threw the plastic bags with labels away a long time ago.

ach thats life
Feels odd, eh when you know you're about to get chained to the desk at work for the next few days...I guess sometimes it is like starting to work there for the first time again and again...

Dave, did I miss how much this pack of terrain cost?

Ooo...
I think the larger bricks as they have a more industrial feel, to me, that matches the metal supports.

Look forward to it, whatever bricks it ends up with.

I think dave got his off eBay, but here's the web store http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/xix-century-walls-p-1006.html

I paid $17 with free shipping from ebay. The Shipping from Poland is usually expensive anyways.

The plasticard beicks with the bracing wall kit reminded me of The Pitt DLC Dave.

AH well then, after seeing those new pics I must re-vote.....



...... Still the smaller bricks for me.....


...Now excuse me while i try and find something to stack on my dog...

Exactly this.
Although I think residential-style bricks with those metal supports doesn't make much sense.

It doesnt have to make sense, it just needs to look cool.

They both look cool. Wonder what steel riveted sheets would look like? I'm with Nerdy bottom one.

Well I guess it also depends on who they are bricking in behind there too.

Glass bricks would be pretty cool with brushed steel supprots........

Glass bricks are so eighties...

Like...gag me with a spoon! Do you mean like walk-in-shower bricks?

I was just wanting to see you clear casting scale bricks.....

Monkey got the buggy!

That's a sweet buggy!

Thanks Monkey!

Oh, and Bols had a spot today of the first wheeled Taurox using the wheels from a German 88

Still ridiculously high target, but does look way better with wheels added, double fenders are a tad bit redundant though

The buggy looks cool, completely modular construction, roll-bars are separate components with no mould lines, loads of additinal goodies, but it's probably at least a month till it's out. Kit also had a Taurox out with six of his wheels on, looked a damn sight better than the tracked

I consider the Taurox one of those items GW designers rushed and goofed on
