$80.00 USD USD plus shipping? I'll make my own. Overpriced. |

Thanks again for sharing this Tango! @Captain DEwell – thanks for the praise! @pilum40 – that's an opinion your entitled to have. However these are solid resin pieces (apx 850g) which has then been washed/cleaned with any air bubbles filled (not that I have found many), undercoated and then fully painted using various colours for each area, with drybrushing and ink washing. Static grass has then been added to the sides and the underneath is covered in felt. I didn't think that was a bad price for the time involved…. However I do also sell them in 'undercoated only' versions which are obviously cheaper – I can be contacted through my website or f&cebook page if interested…. |

Fair price for painted, flocked, and sealed resin! These look just fantastic. Nothing out of the normal, but perfect for what they are, a gun emplacement that sits flat on the table. Very useful for all combat involving guns, up to and including today really. Not everyone has the time, skill, or inclination to manufacture these. So while I fully well can see that manufacturing one of these for myself could be accomplished with wood-putty, coffee stirrers, and a piece of pinkfoam, I can also see a person deciding that terrain making takes up time that would be better spent painting or playing, and that $80 USD is worth the 2-3 hours of their time plus materials it would take to make one of these, and that's not even considering that a solid chunk of resin is almost certainly going to be more rugged than "homemade". (or at the very least more likely to survive handling at a gamestore/con) Granted I'm not that person (I have and will continue to build my own terrain where possible)… but I can recognize the niche market. And I think crying "too expensive" is in my opinion a little harsh. |
