We have 4 boxes of the resin scenery with the plastic assault drop barricades left before I'd have to substitute what we run out of with other pieces. If you still would like one then let me know soon as they're selling out quickly.
It's going to take some time to be able to get everything we have in resin into plastic so this is the only way to get all these different pieces within the next 9-12 months (at the current rate).
We'll still be selling the resin spares on ebay untill they're all gone, or if anyone would prefer, just PM me what you'd like and we'll throw a custom scenery box together.
As the assault drop barriers are in plastic, they will be forever avaliable through Ken's proxie model shop (which he just updated)

ATMs are vital for Human Sphere citizens moving between planets. They don't dispense cash. Rather, they allow a citizen to transfer their credit entitlement from one financial environment to another. Indeed, some citizens of the Human Sphere actually make a living - albeit a tenuous one - by travelling from planet to planet, counting on favourable exchange rates to increase their credit entitlement.
***
This is entirely speculative, of course, but would explain the existence of ATMs in the Infinity universe somewhat.

Well let me put those points to my friend (one designing this stuff with me) and we'll see what we can come up with. If there's space on the vending machine sprue we may just add one on there. If not then maybe with the next mold to be cut.

Always happy to hear positive comments =)
We're just about out of bus stops (think I may be able to piece 1 last one out of the spare bits) and we're running low on the newer vending machines (about 20 of each left).
I don't mind substituting pieces in for those that sell out, so there should be plenty left of the majority of items for the next month or so. Once they sell out though it'll be quite a while untill everything will be avaliable in plastic.

With the decent amount of requests for the scenery box, we're now completely out of bus stops. I don't mind tradeing in any items that roughly make up that $5 hole, or even add a bit more and tack on the extra to the box price. I can easily fit a few extra sets of things into the small priority box so no extra shipping costs.
We're now starting to run low on the new vending machines (10 left of vending machine 2, and 12 of vending machine 1) so it will be first come first serve.
Our resin stuff will be avaliable again, in plastic, but only to the timescale our friend allows. I'm hoping that if I show him how much you guys like these pieces that he may hurry that process up.

Got my shipment of scenery in the mail today, and I'm pretty satisfied w/ my purchase. It's a great value for $40, especially when compared to similar kits from other companies. It should add some nice flair to my Infinity games.
Gav, can you post a pic of what the completed bus stop is supposed to look like when you get a chance? I'm a bit unsure how the bottom is supposed to go together.

Sure, the pics I have are of an assembled piece mind.
In a more text approach:
The 2 angular side pieces glue to the back-rest (long and wide flat piece with the 3 cushions). Then glue the seats (fat stick with the cushion bottoms) to the back-rest. Then the roller-door looking flat panels glue to the top. Biggest is the roof, and the smaller one fits under the back of the big roof piece using the slightly angled side.
I'll see if I can make a small how-to diagram.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Here's how it should look once assembled.
And I mis-remembered the amount of seats, lol there's 4.
In the picture showing the individual pieces, from left to right, top to bottom:
Side panels (detail is on the outer side)
Seats
Roof top
Roof back
Back-rest
Oh and don't forget to post some when you get them painted =) Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh and I forgot to mention... I spoke with my friend (Apostate) who is working on the CAD designs and he's going to work up an ATM.
He wanted to know what the general feeling was towards what it should be:
A panel to stick to a building (indented wall ATM)
Or a stand-alone ATM box (similar to an ATM you'd see in a gas station)
And once I get around to his place again I'll be bringing back a zipdisk with some more of his designs for what we're looking to get into molds whenever we get the chance.

Excellent! Thank you for posting that! I put mine together and it didn't look right, and now I can see why. It's all fixed now and looking fine, though.
While I'm fantastically lax with taking pictures, I will try to post some once I've slapped some paint on the stop. Got a lot of painting to do this weekend...
Oh, and in regards to your edit, I'll opt for the gas station style ATM. I think that would give the piece more utility.

Whew well the holidays are now over and I finally have time again to post and catch up to speed on things. With college finals week, parents visiting from England and several other projects on the go it's been a stressful and busy holiday.
Well the new things going on is that we have a bunch of stuff put into CAD and awaiting cutting (we're going to be negotiating the timeframe shortly as to when the molds will be avaliable) but hopefully we can get a bunch cut all at once and provide a big box of plastic scatter terrain.
For the moment we still have the sets of resin from our second run, and I even have enough for several more of the box sets I offered pre-december. We have 1 bus stop left (untill we can get a plastic mold cut with the newly designed one) but still plenty of vending machines of all 3 types, plenty of plastic, and resin, drop barriers, and a large pile of crates still avaliable.
I'll try to get some of the CAD pics to post to show you all what's been designed and "hopefully" what's comming soon to a forum near you. I think you'll all be impressed with the new bus stop design!
Oh and a small P.S. Apostate has been reading the forums for inspiration for the ATM panel/machine and has come up with a few CAD designs for them, I'll see about getting them to see which is prefered.

Well the resin pieces (and the plastic drop barriers) are already priced on page 1 of this thread, but as for the plastic stuff we should hopefully have an idea by next week.
We need to speak to our friend who does the plastic injection stuff and see what kind of timeframe and pricing he can do for us.

Will you be offering the scatter terrain box sets again, soon?
I had a look over on proxie models as well and didn't see any of this awesome stuff in the store there, but am certainly interested for sure.

Yeah I can still do the box sets for a while longer (untill we run out of resin)
I have 1 bus stop left, so I can do the full box set for $50 to Australia (think our exchange rates are about the same right now) which would include priority shipping (6 - 10 days)
After that bus stop is gone we can do at least 5 more box sets without the bus stop at a $5 discount.
If you want one just PM me and we can sort out the details.
Oh and proxie models only sells their own stuff (bar a few die-cast vehicles), so we couldn't get our resin models on there. I figure people want a 1-stop-shop for a collection of scenery instead of only the drop barriers by themselves so we figured we'd offer a box set of our stuff + the drop barriers to you guys without the ebay fee markup.

Just sold the last bus stop so we can't do the original box sets anymore.
If anyone was still interested in the pack without the bus stop we can do them at a $5 discount, or add in from the a-la-carte menu to get it to $5.
That means priority shipped to the US (with everything but the bus stop) would be $35. To Canada priority shipped would be $42 ($13 shipping cost), and the rest of the world would be $46 ($17 shipping cost).
The box isn't quite full with just that amount of scenery, and I can easily fit in another several sets.
I've had alot of people asking for more items than just the original box set so I can also do a bigger bulk box for those needing more. Say:
3 sets of vending machines (3 of each)
3 sets of drop barriers (18 total)
and 2 sets of the crates (8 small, 4 large, and 4 bio-crates)
I can fit them all in the small flat rate box (I have to remove the drop barriers from their sprues to do this)
For the bigger set shipping stays the same, so the total cost would be:
US via priority shipping = $54
Canada by priority shipping = $61
Rest of the world via priority shipping = $65
That should be a decent amount of scatter scenery for 3 tables.

I hope you like them on your table as much as we do. They add such a needed cover point to the game and look stylish for the near-future scenic scape at the same time. The extruded armor plates make them alot of fun to paint too, even with drybrushing for quick paintjobs.
Pacific wrote:Gav99 - any news on when (if?) you will have some more bus stops and vending machines on sale? Sadly I missed them the first time around.
Well the vending machines are still avaliable, the bus stop is the only piece we've ran out of for now, but we're working on getting it made into plastic (as soon as we can get Ken to commit to doing it once he's fnished his plastic modular square walls). We also have a new bus stop design that's more in flavor with the futuristicy nature of the game. If we can get stuff done with Ken, we're looking to get 3 molds made at once... probably the 3 vending machines on one sprue, road cones with ATM consoles and panels on a second, and the bus stop on the 3rd (and possibly 4th as it'll probably take 2 molds). I'll keep you all updated as soon as I get more info on how we're moving ahead.

Well we're seeing Ken on Thursday so hopefully we'll have an idea as to timeframe to get more of our stuff out there.
And I'm trying to get some files nicely rendered to show what we've been working on, and hopefully may even have avaliable soon.

My drop barriers from Proxie Models arrived this weekend. They look great straight out of the package. I'm looking forward to getting some paint on them and putting them on the table (though paint is not necessary). I'm thinking of putting some bullet holes in a few of these.

I'd love to see them when they're painted. It tickles us to see our stuff on other people's tables.
Ok the first of the sneak peaks of what we're up to, The new Bus Shelter:
Appologies about the rawness of the rendering... I'm still working out how it all works lol.

If you are up for suggestions I'd highly recommend no windows. All that openness means that it'll only be good for partial cover and not help with LoF blocking in street ways (which it would be vastly more useful for).

We're comming out with some full LoS blocking scenery also. Which brings me to sneak peak #2, the next installment to the ADB (assault drop barrier), the Defencive Drop Barrier (DDB)
The smaller wall sides fit to the current ADB's, whilst the middle is taller than most infantry (you may see an antenna but that's about it)
Hopefully I can get a pic of ADB's big brother at some point also, and hopefully Thursday I may have another update...

Ok our meeting with our friend who does the plastic injection stuff is tomorrow.
We'd like to get at least 1 mold, if not 2 slated up for production. Out of the following, what would you guys like to see avaliable next?
- DDBs (as pictured above)
- FDBs (Full drop barriers which will be full LOS blocking walls in a similar design to the ADB and DDB)
- Bus Stop (new or old)
- ATM terminal / Fire Hydrant / Crates (depending on what we can fit on a sprue)
- Road Block Barriers / Road Cones (circular)
- Vending Machines (the current 3 but all on 1 sprue)
Let me know and we'll see what we can negotiate

We appreciate the feedback guys.
The meeting got pushed back to next week due to illness, so more time for more input. We may only get to choose 1 mold for now, so we'd like to have a clear idea of what you guys would love to get your hands on for your tables.
