First off I want to publically thank Jon at GZG for his range of 15mm Sci Fi building accessories and fittings link

IMHO this single release revolutionises 15mm Sci Fi gaming more so than any other product currently on the market. It gives us a quick and easy method of creating our own buildings/bunkers etc at low cost from card, foamboard or even packaging materials with a minimum of effort. Especially so for those who are ham fisted like myself! I'm sure it has filled a huge gap in the market and on many people's wants list.

So, thank you Jon!

I'd also personally be interested in Sci Fi street furniture, moisture evaporators, bunker vision/weapon slits, cupolas, civilian and military shuttered/blast shuttered windows.

Cheers
Mark

Now all I can hope for is a set in 28mm sigh!

You are an evil person.

I agree with Mark 100% which is why my wife and VISA card are cringing from the expected pain. MANY Sci-Fi terrain making projects are currently on hold while I figure out doors and such, but now I have a solution. I have lots of troops and lots of choices for more, but they all need a place to live, hide and take over, so more terrain is a must and this is the solution to my prayers (Well, almost since those also include a local store carrying the entire GZG, QRF Old Crow, Laserburn, Rebel Minis, Khurasan, Splintered Light, Combat Wombat etc lines in 15mm so I can just pop over and get what I want on a moments notice . . . . World Peace is more likely . . . . . )

Now I just need to patiently wait for Jon to get them on the site so I can order them . . . . . . .

Agreed! I have actually resorted to Lego in the past …

Apart from houses and such, I can't imagine how easy it will be to make foamcore tunnel systems.

Those are incredible, and much needed in the 15mm SF genre!

ZeroGee229 Mar 2009 4:06 p.m. PST

Glad you all seem to like 'em, and thanks to Mark especially!

Having sold out of quite a lot of these at Salute, I've now got to cast some more ready for Triples next weekend, and of course some for mailorder stock as well – they should be up on the webstore very soon, our webmaster's workload permitting!

If these sell as well as initial reactions suggest,we'll certainly do more…..

Jon, any chnace of doing some of these items in 6mm to add to the street furniture packs already avialable? Dressing up containers makes them look a little less like containers, and would be pretty useful . . .

Weird, I was just asking about something like this not too long ago. Excellent! Oh happy day.

I've ordered my new building parts from GZG, so they are up on the website and ready for sale.

Amazing. What was it, just a couple of weeks ago some suggestions were made and just like that Jon brews it up.

Unbelievable!

Yeah, that was me, I think, though I doubt I'm the first. I imagine Jon was being cheeky when he chimed in about it being something he might consider.

I do wonder if he's started using digital design for his stuff. Considering the rate at which he produces them as well as clarity and precission of his designs, it seems reasonable.

"Yeah, that was me, I think, though I doubt I'm the first. I imagine Jon was being cheeky when he chimed in about it being something he might consider."

Well, I'd had the idea for doing some a while back, but it was mostly the discussions here that prompted me to do them now rather than later. Because on stuff like this I do everything in-house (idea, sculpt, make moulds, cast and sell to you!), once I decide to go ahead with something it can, in theory, get into production very quickly!

"I do wonder if he's started using digital design for his stuff. Considering the rate at which he produces them as well as clarity and precission of his designs, it seems reasonable."

No, they are all being done in the good ol' traditional way, sculpted/fabricated by hand on the workbench…. :-)

Yes, Jon, but are those hands flesh or mechanical?
