"More Russian Technolog goodies" Topic

Had not been to the Technolog.ru site in a while and look what I found:

"Cyber Ruins" link

"Ultraclicks"
link

Technolog are the folks who make the Platformer, Hexagon (which is not shown anymore), Power PLant, and the nemesis of disposable income of all sc-fi and industrial terrain builders, the awesome Chemical Plant.

I did a quick eBay and Google search to see if anyone in the US might have them but no luck. Looks like I'l have to spam IMEX to carry them, or find a friend in Russia…or just design, scratch build, mold and plastic-resin cast my own.

Nah!

The Ultraclicks look pretty useful for Space Hulk type games.

The Cyber Ruins are very Fallout 1 in tone.

The "Ultraclicks" set looks like a smaller half set of the "Syberclicks" set. The "Syberclicks" set I know can be found here in the states. I have bought them from The Warstore at least once.

They've got 28mm and 54mm Fantasy and Historical figures and some buildings to go with them too, I believe.

They certainly pay attention to presentation when it comes to marketing – the figures and terrain are well-painted.

Believe Pegasus Hobbies imported and distributed the Platformer/Hex/Chem Plant sets in the USA, didn't they? Even the IMEX site shows the Platformer and other sets as having a "PEGxxxx" part number.

If you are looking for them as soon as they are available in the USA, should probably keep a lookout for news on the Pegasus hobbies website, I'd think. pegasushobbies.net/catalog

The Syberclicks are the Ultraclicks. Same product. I have a couple sets and they're quite nice. I ended up gluing mine together.

Huh… They don't look like the same set to me. The Ultraclicks set doesn't have any Gothic window pieces (that we can see), and those wall panels look much taller than the ones in the Syberclicks set. I'll have to dig out the bag of Syberclicks stuff I have and look more carefully at them.

I looked at mine again. You're right. It looks like the have some of the parts from the Syberclicks but have substituted other longer parts for the gothic windows.

Now I wish my Syberclicks were Ultraclicks :<

Anyone know what scale those fantasy castles are – I am looking for a cheap fantasy castle that could be used for WOTR or WHFB? Thanks!!!

The Castle Craft range seems to be 25/28mm scale:

I thought about getting a box set myself, but painting and storing that thing is going to be a task…

I have ordered a few samples.

And will post back here with scales and comments.

It looks like the company makes figures in many scales, at least as big as 54mm and at least as small as 1/72 (~20mm).

The Syberclicks and ultraclicks are compatible yet different sets (something they have in common with some other sets). The wall panels are the main difference (syberclicks have the gothic arched windows as noted). Catwalk pieces and railings are the same though.

Same with the Cyberruins set and the 'powerstation' set. The slots in the pillars are a giveaway there

Both of these are also incompatible with the hexagon or platformer sets (unlike the "chemical plant"/"biotoxin plant" kits which are fully compatible with the platformer sets.).

Platformer and Hexagon have had several (western) imprints from Urban War to Pegasus and IMEX.

OK here is a run down;

Much of the building panels are those we have seen from the Pegasus Hobbies line.

The figures are all over the place from 3 inch high to very heroic 28mm (~32mm) down to 20mm.

The castle themselves are with the 20mm figures, but work well with 15mm.

I have posted photos with rulers and comparison figures on the link above.

DyeHard, thanks for all the pictures, especialy the sprue shots.

But I can't resist saying, in nearly 20 years of surfing the net, I have never had to scroll so far to the right! Great break from scrolling down ;)

My Castle Craft set arrived this afternoon. I bought the larger set with the Dwarfs and two differant human groups.

I am very mixed about it. On the one hand it looks nice. But the plastic seems to be more fragile then the Platformer and Hexformer stuff.

The over all size of the castle looks like it will be smaller then I expected. So instead of using it with my Warhammer stuff I will use it with my 1/72 stuff.

As I told my mom when she stopped by, I like it well enough but probably won't buy any more of them.
Besides I spend plenty on Technolog Robogear stuff anyways.

Crude I am!

It has been about 10 years since I did any HTML, I am a scientists not a programmer.

I had a heck of a time just figuring out my passwords and how to use FTP to update the site.

It looked ~ OK on FireFox, so I just let it go at that.

Good thing to note, Tinyminis, The plastic is brittle, quite a bit of broken spear tips and such. I do not think this would be good as a toy. But since I will glue the parts together or down to other supports, I will find it all still useful. Also, many very very small parts in the castle sets. I think it was designed to be a much larger scale and then "downed" to the 20mm scale. The little clips that are small enough in the Hexagon sets are now about 1/4 that size for the castles.

The poor programmer!

Thanks!

The dice look funky. :)

Tinyminis, any chance of a few pics?

I have the front wall done and the corner towers. All thats left is the side walls and the central keep. I will post a couple pics on my blog tomorrow with a few minis for size.

Great! Looking forward to that.

Humm… This has me thinking…
