Here's a render to show the options for self-contained rooms for the MODCON set, we're currently planning to release these as a second wave once we've got the corridors out (currently on track for February 1st!), the detailed files to make these are ready they just need setting up as production sheets (which takes a surprisingly long time!). Once we have the corridors painted we'll get a set cut and painted as well.

We also now have something that was suggested earlier, a small platform piece that can replace the small pillar on a corner, t-junction or 4-way piece to allow you to build large open spaces as large as you like. these will be available at launch.

Any chance of seeing an exterior entrance? It would be great to be able to combine this set with any other terrain we may have!

Also, the renders remind me somewhat of the cloning facilities from Star Wars which needless to say, gets my creative juices flowing.

The externor entrance (or even an airlock) would be great - it would allow you to combine an exterior and interior.

One thing I was thinking was for ship to ship actions, or a ship that had landed - some exterior walls would be nice for this but not essential (I am sure they can be replicated with just some string to mark the outline )

I still think some kind of hanger and dedicated command centre would be excellent rooms to have.

yeah, thats pretty cool,

I'm wondering if I could sub in my own floor pieces to keep costs down, since really the walls and supports are the kicker, floors can just be floor tiles

Looks absolutely gorgeous, this will be by far the coolest and most complete looking space-ship interior on the market I think!

When will they be up for advance order?

As awesome as these are, how much actual area are we talking for each price point?

Also, what will your shipping over the pond look like?

Have you thought of find a partner to laser the pieces in the states for you?

These look awesome, and love the piece to make the bigger rooms. These will make a great space hulk battlefield, but unsure about the feasibility of ordering from the US.

All comments noted and taken into account, so please keep them coming!

We hope to get these kits up by the weekend, once I have enough painted to take pretty pictures of each boxes contents! (I have my work cut out for me!)

We did toy with the idea of external wall pieces that butt up to them, and also a lobby / security / entrance gate type thing, but as always, these things take time and will no doubt be something we add to the range at a later date.

Specific contents for rooms to make them into feature spaces are something we're working on, but again, there is only Harry working on this full time and he is already flat out!

I'm trying to suggest to Harry that a free worldwide shipping period is a must so we can make an impact with these sets! He keeps just saying yeah that's a good idea but I can read him a mile away, and he looks like he wants to tell me to shove off, but hasn't yet!

I'm pretty sure Harry has finished box contents, but not sure how much of a secret they are at the moment - may have to wait until the pre release go live....

All the best - a very sleepy Edward!

Ed! this is the only thing that has kept me from buying your products in the past, as the weight of them and post to Australia makes them double in costs! I was planning to save enough to buy rooms and corridors to cover at least a 4x4 table (I think that would be large enough?) but if down the road you do have a free ship option I'd be more than happy to buy bulk and get them sooner! I really can't express how great these are looking and I have already planned my paint etc to get these looking grim darky! are you thinking of producing them as a kit bundle that includes enough rooms, corridors,doors to re arrange and play games in a unmanned floating space ship or do we need to work that out ourselves?

keep it up guys, it's looking amazing!

Dammit, don't listen to my suggestions, how am I supposed to not buy these now?

New but empty section on their website:

I'm itching to find out the prices!

Been a bit quite around here, but not for long!

Plan on getting the corridors online in the next day or so!!

Also - aliens!

Part of your new range? Pretty cool if so

Great start to those griblies. What are they sculpted in?

I quite like the worm gribbly! who from hence forth shall be called 'Wibbly'

They;re sculpted in Magic Sculpt by a mate of our who has the biggest hands you'll ever see - no one knows how he can even hold a sculpting tool let alone use one!!

We have a couple of models now - primarily so we can show scale of our awesome and incredible MDF toys, but I know Harry is very keen to get a range out!

Woo the image editing is under way! Mantic were super duper awesome and let us use their Corporation troopers for scale shots so we had much fun setting up the little guys in action poses

Advance orders are up!

No elevated roads - the boycott lives on!

I'm still waiting on that gigantic modular housing complex. Is that still a thing?

maybe you should picket their house?

They posted on their blog the other day about it:

http://warmillgames.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/a-look-at-future-of-past.html

feth that's looking better and better. Maybe a little too big though. But I'd love to use one as the centerpeice for a 6x4 table. Add in a couple of Sarissa Systems warhouses and scatter terrain, and you've got a great little self contained town.

I just checked out the pre-order page for the corridors and they are looking nice.

It's going to come down to the wire for me to go with these or pledge to the bug hunt corridors. I like the walls better on the Warmill stuff, but the bug hunt bundles have the edge on price.

Another week to decide.

Well Zwan kinda pipped us to the post on the announcement there!

As you can see, the corridor sets are up for pre-order now, we're offering FREE worldwide shipping on all Escape from Sector 9 bundles which are a great deal in themselves. These sets are, as a rough guide, enough to cover a 3x3, a 4x4, and a 6x4' gaming table, and come with modular parts to build large open spaces from combinations of junctions for objective rooms.

@Alpharius, the roads are coming, promise! Ed's hand is stuck in a permanent air-brushing claw already and he still has a load of corridors to paint, as soon as he's recovered the elevated roads will be getting painted and put up on there

@Loki, some prototypes will be cut soon so you can get a better idea of size. Hope you like them!

Here's a pic of one of the standalone room layouts which are going to be painted up to go on the site very soon.

Will the big housing complex have removable roofs/levels for interior combat? Because if it takes up that much space, indoor combat would be a nice way to get some of the gaming space back.

Got the sample crates painted tonight - the base coats anyhow!

Even though Ed missed the question. I think the early design samples(that they cut out) had removable roofs and I think the rooms can be individually removed as well. The images are somewhere in their blog in the P&M forum.

Wow all of this is so cool (and great job with the studio shots)! Especially looking forward to the buildings, will be perfect for a kind of science-lab thing I'm planning for a Paradiso board

These look amazing! Are these made of plastic?
