[b]T.J.H Models Walkways & Towers Kickstarter lauched

ive very happy to announce the lauch of my new kickstarter

I was a large backer of the original kickstarter, pledged a complete level 2 board. Then you cancelled the kickstarter. So I invested in the Spartan Scenics Towers and Walkways instead.

So sorry, I won't be backing this time, you missed the boat with me, but I wish you all the very best of luck because this does look like good stuff.

cheers TheSecretSquig

after acouple of days were already 25% funded

thank you for all your support

Can we limit the number of threads for this kickstarter to just one in news and rumors?

ive closed the old thread & directed them to this 1

cheers

going great 5 days down & already 40% funded

thank you for all your support

Hey.
My advice would be to get some painted pics (and painted to a high standard) up, could make a big difference.

And possibly a pic with models on it, for scale.

Looks good, and I'll look to get a pledge in before the end.

good idea

10 days down & were half funded
thank you for all your support

but still 20 days togo

I am watching this one closely... I am a bit down on funds right now, but if it is funded or close to funded I will try and jump in as soon as I have money.

Do you own the laser, or you have the work done elsewhere? The cutting is awesome (I've been following another laser-cutting thread, and I had no idea there where differences on the laser etching quality).

Also, the "complete board + 1 floor" is actually 2 floors all around, plus one plataform that goes to 3 floors, is that right?

i had the prototype done by somebody else hopefully ill be getting a laser soon

the "complete board + 1 floor" is actually 2 floors all around, plus one plataform that goes to 3 floors, is that right?

yep you get 2 complete floors with an extra platform + 8 free extra walkways

hi all ,new update

After lots of emails & comments asking for ramps,So ive designed 4 different sorts

Each ramp will bridge to the next floor in height

There are two different lenghts of ramp either 16cm or 32cm long

R16 & R32 will bridge from one floor to the next floor in height

R16F & R32F will bridge from the 1st floor to the ground

Thank you for all your support

Those ramps do look handy.
With level-to-level ramps, that's a whole load of options opened up.

Sooo...is this going to make a return?

Hopefully
But not in this format. im thinking of changing the towers (smaller) with no ladders inside & no tops .which should knock up to a 1/4 off the price, hopefully depending on the piece
This will change the build with less supported walkways , with platforms as the major supports & stair sections as a square support tower (see pic) & the walkways more like bridges
as this will aid game play with less towers to get your figures in easier

I think having it even more modular, both in pricing and design could help. Your pledging structure seems quite complicated. A structure where each platform is $X, each walkway is $Y (even simpler if they are the same price), and enough platforms to support them are included would make much more sense, at least to me. That way, I can pledge for 3 platforms and 2 walkways without having to sit down and figure out exactly what set of towers and walkways i need to get.

I really like the quality (from what I can tell, anyways) of the product, and hope that you bring this back.

I have to say I walked away from this because the options were too many and difficult to decipher. I would just make a couple bundles of the most common units and then have an ordering cart later.

Agreed. I tried to make this point when the last KS failed and while some changes were made it was still far too complex for a casual passer by to understand. It really needed a sweet spot pledge level of $150 or something.

The designs are amazing and I really don't see any reason why this shouldn't succeed despite the fairly high prices..

Same here!

And CC brings up some valid points - again.

Best of luck next time around - hopefully everything is clearer and the pledges come rolling in!

Three or four bundles, then open up options for a la carte ordering. You can show off the extras, or use them for unlocks, but the sets are the way to go. If you have a website to order from then you can send a coupon code to all backers when you ship their orders, just don't advertise it, I think it's frowned on by kickstarter.
