Nice new stuff there. Esp like the quarantine fences.

I was considering laser cutting the bases(out of 1mm acrylic) then casting them.

Have you considered doing something along these lines? I like the slopes to the GW bases or the curve on the display base.

But now I have got the the gf's laser cutter up and running at her school I think I'll use that for my own evil schemes...

But there is another project that I'm working on that will eventually need to be cast when/if I finish it.

Well done on getting the diving legs finished. Your gf sounded tired when I spoke to her the other day when she'd only had 3 hours sleep!

Cheers.

That looks amazing, would they mix well with the other kits you have?

Well one if the ideas we had was a scenario of a prison enclosure inside a fort, perfect fora game of rescue the POW. I reckon if you painted it in a more drab colour scheme it would look pretty happy alongside the fortress. We also have barbed wire holder expansion parts to go along the top of the fences that would give it a nice grimdark feel as well.

High Res Images for your oogling pleasure!

Wish I could buy a painted version

This is soooo SexY , and Sassy. I WANT!

weooo we made it onto Beasts of War!

I think there should be links and possibly embedded video


LINK!

Super work. Theres a real space in the market for your stuff and i think that you'll be a market leader for quite some time to come. Thimbs up for the blog and work so far dude. Come the new year i think im try to make a few purchases!!

I know it's probably been asked already but will you be expanding your range to include alternate bits n bobs for figures, like shoulder pads n weapons etc?? If you do have something in the pipleine for that, that would be awesome!

Good luck with the future!!!

Woo its online to buy - thanks for the kind words guys! Here is to a busy two weeks scrambling to get things made and dispatched! xD

Harry is off to Warfare 2011 at Reading today to do a bit of networking and most likely spend all his money on cool toys!

Hopefully he will come back with some cool images and a battle report of his day!

Lol you were right about spending all my money on toys, not so much about the cool images

Long story short, trade hall full of cool stuff I wanted, particularly the 15mm sci fi from critical mass and ground zero games, raffle I didn't win anything on, big hall full of people playing games that was too big to look at in the time I had there, some good interest in our compound we lent to our local club to use for their infinity demo game.

2 hours was only enough time to scratch the surface really, especially when it was the last 2 hours of the weekend. D'oh!

In other news, the guy who's painting up the fortress upgrade kit has pretty much finished it, so we can take some lovely pics for new and improved box art

We've discussed here and there how we'd like to do a zombie board game next year, or at least prototype one, and last night I actually got the colouring pens out and had a bit of a doodle of some characters, just looking at a possible style. Let us know what you think!

In other news, the guy painting our castle has been busting himself this weekend finishing it off, sexy pictures will follow in the very near future.

Cheers
Harry

Names... Brack perhaps or maybe Drake? Just some suggestions.

No way! Lazercutting..
Makes me want a 3D printer. All I want in life is to model my Necrons and print the parts. Better yet, I could make the parts they haven't released yet.

I'm waiting on a commission payment but I should be ordering a Quarantine kit if all goes well - will be sure to post photos of it all Imperial-Guarded up surrounded by jungle terrain and Catachan on dinosaurs!

There's one product you could easily make which I think would sell really well. I've suffered through making fancy terrain pieces only to have their flimsy bases warp and crack over time. If you sold pre-cut thin MDF board in a variety of organic rounded kidney and pear shapes in different sizes, it would allow people to make their own terrain pieces. I would be overjoyed to pay a few dollars for rounded flat MDF shapes and avoid the hassle of having to cut my own.

Not having good basing material is the one thing preventing me from making a full jungle battefield of my own. Hopefully you consider making this product, or would at least be willing to make a few specifically-shaped ones on commission.

EDIT: Email sent, looking forward to a reply!

That's a good idea - a pet hate of mine is seeing some great terrain pieces in the gallery here - only for their cereal box base all warped and bent at the edges!

The 2 level fort looks awesome

Fortress looks superb.

That's an awesome fortress indeed. Nice level of detail, the signs and transparent bits are especially good.

As for names, in order of appearance; Clint, Bob, and Wilson ^^

Cool, hope you consider it!

One thing that's been bugging us is how to take pictures of the fortress upgrade kit for the box graphics that makes it clear what you're getting, well i think we sussed it kind of hard to see the transparent effect with my phone camera pics in the kitchen, but it gives the idea.

Holy Guacamole Batman! That fort is gorgeous! Not to mention huge.

I dunno how safe a glass fort would be? But I want one. Very simple idea, and well executed. I look forward to having the space to order some stuff.

Woah, clear! Fething awesome!

I have to say I was wondering if you would ever do a force field fort

Once more: The complete fortress looks mindblowingly good ! Heartfelt thanks to you guys !

And now I deserve a pat of the shoulder for resisting the urge to paint my already assembled fortress kit so far...

I'm thinking of buying some colored bases to use as objective markers along with the big Quarantine Security Compound, but I'm not sure what some of the colors look like. Would it be possible to have photos of the material used in the fluorescent and clear colors? My apologies if I've missed them - I just want to make sure they match the armies I'd be buying them for, and seeing the colors would help a lot.

Really excited for the Security Compound purchase!

Brilliant stuff.

One thing you could try is stylised Warmachine focus tokens? Laser cutting seems like the perfect way of making them.

I wants me a glass fortress!
