These should prove very popular what with all the scratch built buildings and cityscapes people seem to be getting into these days.

Those are looking really good! Don't just stop there. Doors and other building bits encourage people to build their own terrain.

Armiesarmy21 Mar 2014 5:51 a.m. PST

Very cool

Solzhenitsyn21 Mar 2014 6:52 a.m. PST

Those are just what I need for my Sci-Fi Buildings in 28mm.

Are they going to be released and if so, who will carry them?

Cacique Caribe21 Mar 2014 9:43 a.m. PST

Fantastic stuff!!!

Are oval (egg-shaped) interior doors/hatches next?

Oval, hmm…… thats an eggciting idea.
I will have to bodge up a design, go an idea on how to do it.

WAs going to do hexagonal & octagonal hatches/doors.
Will add the items to website shortly, not thought on prices but will be my usual VfM.
I will alter the split doors to put buttons on outside of frame (looks nicer).

Lots more here:

NOTE: I would suggest adding a very thin horizontal "threshold" bar of some sort below the oval, so as to facilitate proper level alignment at the time of placement of the hatch. No wider than the hatch door frame itself. Just a thought.

Have added the doors to my website: link

Awesome!

How about this: could we have simple little mdf slotta bases for the doors? to make them stand-up-able, to use for SciFi Dungeon crawls?
And fantasy doors?

Some of the hatches on the ship were wider, with two portholes and a centered split:

While others had a single porthole and an off-center split:

Check out this clip and note the details seen at around 1:16 and 1:54:

Seems like the ship had tons of those hatches:

I like these for 6mm especially the aliens. Would 6mm also be possible? I love scratch building my 6mm terrain.

Mad Mecha Guy26 Apr 2014 8:37 a.m. PST

Have done some small trader hatches.

picture

These are first test cut & needed to increase size of egg hatch slightly.

I could do some of the larger hatch/doors in 6mm but believe 2mm thick MDF will look too deep on buildings.

Stunning work.

How soon before they go on the online web store?

Dan

TK 42130 Apr 2014 5:25 a.m. PST

Nice! Those would look great in any interior.

Mad Mecha Guy30 Apr 2014 6:46 a.m. PST

I wil put them on website soon, when remember to (brain gone) along with the overpasses, not thought of price yet but will be selling in mixed and single types.
