Interesting! Get one painted up, and hopefully, sell sell sell :) |

Need to get them cast first! But yes, once I have some spare cash I will get the Habs cast in metal.
The main structure I will do myself in resin. |

Nice Will they be available for FWC bootcamp? |
| Angel Barracks | 04 Apr 2014 4:48 a.m. PST |
Fingers crossed.
I will be putting all spare funds aside to bring these to market asap. So you know, the more stuff I sell now, the sooner these become available…
;)

Is subscription to the OKI service plan required to activate the safety interlock that prevents the door opening when the pod is raised? "I'm just going to pop out and get the morning papAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-SPLAT!"  Doug |

It looks really fantastic and is a nice nifty concept. From a practical gaming point of view, have you tested the structure to see that it will stand up if the habs are metal and the "stand" resin? As it looks like it might be a bit top heavy. You are putting out some lovely stuff. |

Good point Dravi74. I tend to base a lot of my bigger buildings.
I will be basing this too.
So it had simply not occurred to me. However.
I have replaced the pods with Pathmaster APCs and it does not fall, but it does not take much to send it over either. So… I am going to make a base to go with it for those that want one.
It will be a HexWay styled base I think! |

If the pylon is solid it wouldn't take much to drill a hole in the center of the bottom and run a small nail through whatever you are using as a base. That should keep it upright, providing the base is wide enough. |

I feel a credit spend is imminent :-) |

Proves the value of seeking opinions from your potential customers.
Sure you will get it sorted :) |

Sounds good. I haven't bought anything, but do keep desiring it, so pretty! |
| jpattern2 | 04 Apr 2014 1:25 p.m. PST |
Very cool.
This looks like something Dan/Cacique Caribe would like for his Lost Worlds games. Keep your colonists/explorers up and out of the way of (most) dinosaurs. |

I keep hearing old-timey carousel music when I look at that thing  |
| Redroom | 04 Apr 2014 5:14 p.m. PST |
Can you post a 15mm figure next to it? I think these would work well with my waspmen or birdmen? |

Thinking out loud about the pods….-If you built a 'thruster/lander' base they would make nice 'drop pods' for 'mean marines' to deploy onto the battlefield….imagine a more robust 'lander' unit similar in principle to these-
link Imagine power suited troops in units of three or four landing in their self contained pods……. |

I have made progress on the OKI Penthabs:
Just waiting on the metal casters to sort out the actual habpods.
|
| Covert Walrus | 26 May 2014 3:15 p.m. PST |
Looking good- what progress, if any on these? |
| Angel Barracks | 27 May 2014 2:22 a.m. PST |
I am chasing up the casters… They should have sent me a sample metal pod by now.. |
| Angel Barracks | 02 Jun 2014 7:41 a.m. PST |
Sample has arrived and has been rejected by me on QC. You can see here that one of the windows is no good.
So back to making a new mould. Sorry for the delay, but I can't sell that as it is. |
| Angel Barracks | 06 Jun 2014 2:16 p.m. PST |
Problem sorted… Not long now, just a few more days…
