Shipping is free for Canada. Just say you're from the USA on the Kickstarter when you pledge and it won't charge you..

It's in the FAQ at the bottom of the kickstarter.

Wowza, huge bonanza of free stuff. I basically just got an extra $20 of stuff for free with the last update. Right now $100 gets you more than THIRTY FEET of laser cut wall if that is all you want. And that with lots of pillars, detailing (although not all detailed), doors, and stuff.

Almost all the levels will now get increases to the option amounts

Alpha level:
They get upgraded to 1 full option, so you can get 2 detailed shipping containers or 1 set of walls or 1 set of blank walls + 1 set of blank floors etc

Beta Level:

They now get 5 options

Delta level:

They now get 11 options

Epsilon level:

They now get 23 options

Omega level

They now get 47 options (that'r right +8 options)


Almost too good to be true. Hopefully the guy won't go bankrupt.

From the update, it seems like this was budgeted as a later stretch, but he made it available to push pledges now. Agreed that it's seeming like a very good deal after the upgrades. Some updates showing bundles would go a long way for the project (sounds like the creator's already on this though).

Yep the prices you are seeing right now are the prices I would sell to whole sellers and retail stores, looks like I lost my mind but I'm still making a small profit. the current pledge levels was a 55K goal reward so it was planned ahead of time.

I am Running the kickstarter to get start up capital so I can afford to do this full time, Hard profit comes later I hope

I cannot stress this enough, if you want these at this price get them now since the price will almost double once I go to retail on Amazon/Ebay and finally my online retail store.


And yes shipping to Canada is free, there was no way to split countries for shipping for the levels. either US or worldwide. Canada shipping is not to bad so I'll be fine.

again tell your friends, Daddy needs to buy a 2002 red ford escort

Wow, what courier are you using where shipping to Canada is not much more than the US? Anything I ship via USPS is pretty much double

depends on the weight. yes its more than the US shipping but is not 10X shipping cost overseas, like I said, I'll take the hit on free canadian shipping if I can get more people involved

Hitting the sweet spot on shipping is really tricky. There is quite a bit of variation that doesn't seem to logical.

I'd say that we are in the golden age of mail order as far as miniatures goes. In 10-20 years its all going to be 3-D printed for you at Staples. Enjoy it now.

I think kickstarter will be around for a while though. Sadly there is a glut on the market at the moment. Figures that the kickstarters I am in (like this one) always seem to the ones getting overlooked. Come on $8000! Unless there is something horrid about laser cut that I'm not aware of this is pretty much the best value in terrain on the internet at the moment.

If $160 more is raised before the weekend (funding the project), the planned free columns if the project were funded gets upgraded to an extra option. This is turning out to be a lot of terrain for the money.

That will be as follows:

Beta Level:
They now get 6 options

Delta level:
They now get 12 options

Epsilon level:
They now get 24 options

Omega level
They now get 48 options

edit: And $8000 reached, so those levels are the current pledge levels.

Yay! Crossed the $8,000 line, so the project is now funded.

Thanks to every one that has helped so far but we are not done, we have more stuff to give away, 16K here we go =)

Had a $1000 day, not sure if that is still a goal or not though.

I'll check tomorrow to make sure it did not drop, if its still 1000+ I'll drop the stretch goal from 16K to 15K

Update 20 is now up, No production runs tomorrow for clean up day, but should be a really big update on Monday.

Any hope of something like this in the last few days?

well since today is my first official day working full time on this, miracles might happen. I have a lot of burning to do today/tomorrow and I'll see what I can do

Wowza, that's what I call listening to the people. Even just a simple wall with arches would be plenty cool. You seem to be able to produce all kinds of stuff quickly!

Yeah now that this is officially my day job I might be able to pull it off

ohh yeah, I have pictures....

OK, I'm in for the DELTA level, which I think currently gives me 12 'options'?

So, if I'm doing this right, I can get:


1) Cost = 1 option


2) Cost = 1 option


3) Cost = 9 options

One of #1, two of #2 and one of #3 - and I'm OK?

Also, how easy will it be to say "I want that" at the end of all this?

I hope I don't have to figure out all the parts used to make number three individually?

Geez, I thought this was the LED kickstarter. Oops. I'm seriously tempted to redirect my Tablescapes money to this. That option 103 (the sci-fi maze) looks like it could be awesome for Zone Mortalis stuff.

Oops - I forgot to add a question - will clear, easy to follow instructions also be included?

Thanks!

I assume the buildings will come with directions, though I think the really point is being able to put it together on your own all sorts of ways.

That's how I understand it. Just to be clear, that set would include the actual radar dish twice - once from the bundle, and once from the dish itself.

Here's what I was thinking for delta:

1.) Shipping container city: Not finalized, but something like this for 5 or 6 choices (would love to see this finalized now that there's the new shipping container available).


2.) Communications tower: 3 choices.


3.) 3 Extra Walkways: 1 choice


That leaves me with 2-3 spare choices at the moment depending on how the shipping container city turns out. If there's 3 choices left, then I probably get the storage tower:


I also might just break up the shipping container city with individual choices:
2x2 shipping containers: 2 choices
2x large shipping container: 2 choices
2x3 walkways: 2 choices
1x comm tower: 3 choices
1x storage tower: 3 choices

Not really sure right now, but that's a fair bit of choice in the delta level.

that picture you mentioned on 3) for 9 points its not kit yet but once its done it's actually going to be around 8 Points (the walkways come free, don't quote me on that still have to work out the big kits)


right now printing the walls for the fantasy kit and I'll have a shipping container kit for about 9 points as well.

instructions will come with the kits but they are really simple to put together, been meaning to put together a video for that but keeps getting side tracked

By the way the old dish is staying on that building kit , I cannot fit the new one on the old spruce.

Just hold till you see the shipping container kit, the walkways came out niceeeeee =-)

I'm going to make some hard choices, once this one ends!

SO many nice things...

I am looking to add a bridge type piece to my existing wargaming table at home. I would prefer one that is wide enough to move a chimera over but if not, just the models would be ok. Any idea if that is possible and what level I should pledge to get it? Thanks

give me some dimensions for the road way Length and how wide you want it, should be able to crank one up that fits in with my stuff for 1 slot. I'm not making any promises still have do do some gothic arches and finish up some other stuff.

For the vehicle bridge something like 7" wide and roughly 30" long. Having a 45 degree angle ramps on each side would be fine. If this is too big then something similar to the walk ways would be ok with having either ramps or buildings on each side and a ramp between them for troops to go across. As for detail it could be pretty minimalistic with an iron bar type look and an open top (no need to get all big with it)

I suppose my dimensions might seem quite big but we play 40K and are looking for a bridge that will be able to have tanks go across. The 7" width allows land raiders to get across but if it had to be smaller that would be ok as well. As for the length, perhaps one part that is just the top straight portion of the bridge and 2 duplicated of the camps.

Also have you experimented using paints on the materials you use? I am curious if someone were to get the burned pieces and coat it with a light spray of grey or black, what it would look like.

Thank you for considering this and feel free to make it worth more then one slot too if needed as that is not an issue.

First shipping container kit is up, BBQ party at my house!!!
Update #24 · Apr 29, 2013 · comment

Alright I can draft faster than what my laser can cut so we have a few delays pushed to tomorrow but we do have a nice amount of new items for you guys, they will be on the main page in the next hour or so

Shipping container with side door and windows (2 for 1 slot, no blanks available)
The new radar on top of the cube (1 slot, or 2 for blank options)
double wide container with windows and 4 ammo crates (1 slot, no blanks)
2BBQ stands + Billboard ( 1 slot, or double for blanks)


Fantasy got delayed again, ran out of laser time before I finished burning the last walls and doors, walkways also get pushed to tomorrow I was not happy with the stacking option so I'll fix the file tonight.

Tomorrow I'll make a master list so you every one can see what options costs and if blanks are available.

alright here are the unedited pictures before they go up later tonight

I have to admit - when this campaign launched I was only mildly interested.

Now?

I am psyched!

And I think that MASTER LIST that shows all the different models and their "option" cost is going to be a very good thing and something that will be greatly appreciated AND help drive up pledges - can't wait!

I took a dim view of the BBQ stands when I first heard about them, but I do like them now that I see them. I think I'd want them detailed, though the billboard, though hilarious, doesn
t fit my theme. Can we just get blank billboards and detailed BBQ as a detailed kit?
