Hello! in the midst of the digital releases mayhem, i decided to go back to the roots, and started preparing an easy to produce kit of HIPS/hard plastic building materials/bits to make trenches and would love to hear your thoughts.

The idea is: producing raw materials bits like logs in different diameter, planks, boardwalk, stakes, wattle walls, etc in HIPS (known as hard plastic in the hobby), and making vacuum formed ground/terrain tops.

Also, some plastic bases will be produced for the more used sizes: 25, 32 and 40mm.

So instead of having to print big chunks of FDM grounds/hills, or having to cut big pieces of foam, you would receive lightweights and affordable plastic shells where you can already just glue the plastic bits, and add other scatter terrain that you already have.

So, instead of making trench floor sections with predefined measures, i decided to do the way around: the walls! so you can accomodate the walkway width as you please/need.

I am still working on the price tag with the factory, but you bet i will try to give good price, high value for the coin.

If you want to follow, this is the prelaunch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joygamesinteractive/trench-builder-hard-plastic-kits-to-make-custom-trenches

Great set. I'd personally love sets of just the wall and log/ladder sprues to detail the home made board I've already got working.

Hi! yes, the ground tops/hills will be an add-on, considering that many people may have their own tables made already.

Sweet, then definitely backing.
