In terms of honest feedback I think we really need to see your mechanical doorways and stuff. Your website doesn't seem to give much away.

Apart from that, I don't want to be negative but it's hard to sound refreshing with these products now. I'm not being nasty but I literally wouldn't know who's product that is from the picture, there are so many people producing the same stuff.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope your innovations bring something new to the market, if they do I recommend you push that angle so consumers know why they should buy from you.

As someone that doesn't know much about people that produce terrain for Infinity, my first thought was, "Wow that's a nice piece from Micro Art Studios" >_<. Which kind of sucks for Shark Mounted Lasers, but there's nothing that just sort of pops for their terrain, it looks like every other laser cut terrain, which isn't a bad thing when you want a variety of stuff that matches.

Nice quiote, Alf.

SML stuff is a helluva lot cheaper than MAS stuff though!

Now, if they only had a distribution channel to get that product into stores where people play Infinity....there's the market

I'd like to buy that bundle of buildings and accessories right now!

Hopefully it is bundled up nicely somewhere on your site, or easy to find!

Aye, I'm still working on getting everything off the ground- thus the reason for the lackluster website! I'm still in University, and work a few jobs to get my way through, so time is at a premium. That being said, I really encourage people to keep in the loop on our facebook page because once I start trucking, things will quickly start coming to light.

Product diversity is something I'll really be striving for in the upcoming weeks, for now I just put up the plans that I know are stable and have been playtested extensively. That being said, some of our range won't stand out. My first objective when making terrain when I first started doing this for my local game group was to get terrain on the table. Right now there are few inexpensive options when it comes to terrain. We look to have a diverse range that caters to gamers who are just looking for a board that's better than tissue boxes and pringles cans, as well as the MDF elite who cite collections of numerous suppliers.

Now that you mention it... (The problem with having an English major in charge of business)

Is the 'scatter terrain' available yet?

The benches and terminals and such that show up in some of the pictures?

I'm about to place an order...

Also, one thing to note about your products is that the Price Is Right - you've got some of the best looking/cost effective stuff out there for Infinity.

And Infinity needs a LOT of terrain.

But going by your location, I guess no one should be surprised about that!

The scatter terrain is currently unavailable on the website due to a current search for sustainable packaging options for such. Taking that into account however, I'll throw in some for you to test out!

Exactly, after a certain point it's difficult for the majority of gamers to drop more than the cost of their armies range for a table to play on. I like to think of Infinity as the budget conscious wargame (you know, besides it's title as the best in general)
As for my location... yes... Colorado bears the largest Infinity community outside of Spain, and I've come to the aid on many occasions. Our dire need for more terrain is basically what got me started down this path. In fact, for the upcoming FEAST OF BLADES, I've made thirty boards worth of terrain for the GT and weekend!

No clue what you're talking about (This is what I get for hand typing my closing quote tags)

Will you have an option for stores to buy through you for larger orders at a bit of a discount to the stores (so they can sell at retail)? I think that solid priced terrain for a game that might pick up would be a benefit to both a company and a store if the price was right. But Idk how much profit margin there is on your stuff. (I honestly don't know how quickly it might catch on, we're getting demos tonight)

Sounds like a plan - let me know how to make it happen and I'll place the order today!

Excellent responses! I really hope this goes well and I completely believe that there are going to be some really cool thongs to come from you as you expand the range.

Even cool things too!

I'm having issues looking at the pictures on your website, do you have pictures you can post in this thread (besides the 1 you've already posted?), including painted examples?

I think it´s a nice looking terrain you got there. Sadly I´m from europe, I would give it a try. I think it´s getting harder and harder to get in buisnes, there is a lot of mdf out there right now...hope you´ll be lucky.

They said HTML 5 is the wave of the future... it's also the wave of bugs...

You can always access more pictures at www.facebook.com/sharkmountedlasers

As for pictures, right now we're doing tutorials on how to prep and paint our MDF terrain, so there is nothing fully painted as of right now, but I can toss in some other photos!


Notice how our stairs are slotted to fit miniature bases (Including risers/flock ect) so when you're climbing you don't have to say your models 2" up... he will be.




Cheers!

How many kits are used in the making of that piece (trying to get a gauge of things since I can't see anything on your shop )

*sigh* ...I deserved that.

Which piece are you referring? The top picture, the landscape shot consists of four kits. 1x SharkSlide L-Shaped, 2x Sharkslide Rectangular, and 1x Data Transmission tower and some benching/consoles. Which translates to a low $36.
The two story buildings are simply a L-Shaped or Square Building with a Rectangular set on top, these examples stage for $20.

Is that what you're asking about?

Haha, I clicked "sets/specials" and was treated to the 2 story one, trying to figure everything out, like, "okay this kit that I see how many of them do I need to make what he has in those pics."

I click "store" and I see more listings, though still no pictures.

Edit: Though I have a feeling it's because of my work filter. I see everything but the flexwall on my phone.

Quick question - does the "Two Story Transmission Kit" include a ladder too?

Nope...

This product includes
1x SharkSlide Square
1x SharkSlide Rectangle
1x Data Transmission Station
2x Benches
1x Data Consoles

I saw that list already, but just wanted to be sure before I bought the ladders too...

It *is* pictured after all!

Psh, who has access to pictures

As it turns out:

ORDER PLACED!!!

You get me one?

I will probably hold off on Infinity terrain until I know whether or not I like the game.

That's a good plan!

I know I like the game, and I love the models so...

Even though I'll have to be Demo Leader One in my area.

Having recently purchased a house means I've got plenty of space for a sweet setup at home now though, so that's seen my buy a lot of terrain over the last year!

I just bought a bunch of Sarissa terrain and was looking for some interior furniture to flesh it out.

I've seen a company that makes resin vending machines, but I can't remember what the name of it was.

Also I'm looking for office furniture, trying to get a cubicle office going.

Should find a few helpful bits and bobs here http://ainstycastings.co.uk/index.php/cPath/52

Edit - Also worth a look http://armorcast.com/store/index.php?cPath=122_108

Thanks, the Ainsty stuff was more then what I was looking for.
