Subject: Re:Official Micro Art Studio releases (new bases - Shrine, Trash, Chaos)
Hey guys, any news on when the 8x8" 'objective' building listed at the top of the page will be released?
Also, they had these awesome little accessories at the Campaign: Paradiso event at TTW near London a few weekends ago.
Hope IJW doesn't mind I took this photo from his blog (best one I could find) [url]http://wargamingtrader.com[url]
So you had those really cool little drop pods (both open and closed), alien/human style control panels, and Alien 'beacons'. Any news on when any of these will get a release? I'd love to be able to get them to play the Paradiso campaigns!
PS - absolutely loved the idea of little acrylic tabs being inserted into the control panels, to show their 'status'!

Today we've released two new buildings from our District 5 range.
District 5 Guard House This model is delivered as a pack, unassembled and unpainted.
The parts of the model are designed to slot together in a way that allows for a quick and
easy assembly. It may be necessary to glue some parts of the model - use PVA (white) glue.
Every model is cut from one or more panels of HDF (high-density fiberboard) of 3mm thickness.
In the package you will find 3 boards.
The windows may be left armoured or may be taken out. The same thing applies to door in the building.
The building is compatible with rest of our District 5 product range.
Set contains 2 storeys
Length of the building 11cm / 4 inches
Width of the building 11cm / 4 inches
Height of the building 8cm/ 3,15 inches
District 5 Objective Room This model is delivered as a pack, unassembled and unpainted.
The parts of the model are designed to slot together in a way that allows for a quick and
easy assembly. It may be necessary to glue some parts of the model - use PVA (white) glue.
Every model is cut from one or more panels of HDF (high-density fiberboard) of 3mm thickness.
In the package you will find 4 boards and 10 additional parts in different sizes made of 3mm thick fluorescent and transparent acrylic.
The windows may be left armoured or may be taken out. The same thing applies to door in the building.

Set contains 1 storey
Length of the building 20cm / 8 inches
Width of the building 20cm /8 inches
Height of the building 8cm/ 3,15 inches
Attention:
Before taking the elements out make sure they are fully cut. There are minor connections that prevent them from falling out.

Keep them lower and flatter to facilitate posing of miniatures on them.
This is something all base manufacturers need to remember - I've seen far too many bases which are beautiful in themselves but almost impossible to glue figures to securely.
Yes we're always trying to think about it. Sometimes we decide to get rid of some detail to make it easier to mount miniatures on the bases. The sculptors are aware about that.

We're preparing them for official release - you know painting etc. Thanks for sharing those pics

Very nice buildings - looking forward to picking them both up!
Another note on custom bases is to be aware of the implications of the height of the bases themselves - some of the bases which look to be designed for Infinity push the height of the model into a range that has consequences 'in game'!

XIX century Walkway
Does anyone know if this is compatible with the CityBlock 28mm buildings that Sarissa-Precision makes? Or at least close enough that it won't look really bad?

Thanks for info. An year ago there was a break into host service we're using. And from this moment our website is still in some virus databases. From time to time we are getting some reports from our customers about those warnings. I thought that we've managed the problem but as I can see there are still some issues. Once again thanks for info we try to solve this.

BTW you should add a link to your website in your signature.
Would keep people from googling "Micro Art Studio" every time you post a new product without any link.

That's a VERY good suggestion!
Also, please don't make your custom Infinity bases so tall!
