A few days ago I needed a base for an attack of Russian paratroops for a 1/72, game not my favorite scale too big for me now. However many moons ago I did do SI-FI 25 mm. So searching my memory I remembers some fold flat stuff. Searching through the boxes I came across this lot. link I though they were good enough and were available. Looking at the dates the card Images are 25 years old, the Missiles are probably from around that time, they look like prototypes, the block house's are probably actually newer builds models from the original image so may only be 15 years old. The radar dish looks like its a Dot matrix print so may be 25 years old. So Kleptomania does sometimes pay off. Not bad really for saying they are just card and fold down to nothing when not in use. I dared put it in SI-FI as originally they were used with Star Grunt 2 (I think). |

emckinney – I assume you mean the 1/144 scale walls in the other pictures. If so they are my own design, bendy wall system, 3D printed. If you were interested I could make them availabale through AOTRS Shipyards as an STL or get them on Only games. I suspect they would be too expensive on Shapeways. They need a dressmakers pin or equivalent for the hinges, I did make a set that usd printed hinges but if a hinge proke you have a scrap piece. I did try and Flock them (see the pictures) but they take a bit of battering so I decided it was not a great idea. Hence most are just painted. In addition the painted ones accept the slip over gate better (click far enough and you will see some). I guess I could do a lartger scale (1/72) if sombody was really interested. Not sure its worth it any bigger as you don't use enough walls at bigger scales. I use fold flat walls at 1/72. Beter picture of the hedhe close up TMP link Thanks for thr interest. |
