My website seems to be down.
I have informed the host and will endevour to get it fixed as soon as possible, not the best timing really is it? Sorry. Michael. |
| Gary Mitchell | 20 Oct 2012 2:58 a.m. PST |
So's mine down! Lucky we have this as a back-up :) |
| Angel Barracks | 20 Oct 2012 5:27 a.m. PST |
I have an update, seems the site may not be up until tomorrow, or maybe late tonight if I am lucky.
Really really sorry.

Website is up, but I can't access my e-mails. So, you can order stuff but I won't be able to send out or read any recent e-mails.
Michael.

Right all is working and e-mail is up.
However anything sent in the last 24 hours may have been lost, so if you have mailed me and not had a reply, please try again.
Many thanks.

As ever, nice work. I know the (suggestive) tan paint job helps but the wall sections have a real 'cast concrete' feel to them, which is nice. You can imagine a unit on the back of some truck set up on a colony world where you shovel sand and some plasticiser into one end of the unit and – out the other end – comes lump after lump after lump of wall sections for the colonists to assemble with a fork lift! Very evocative! John |

Looks like it would work as a low wall for 15mm too. (Site says each wall is 22mm tall.) |
| Angel Barracks | 20 Oct 2012 3:55 p.m. PST |
They would! Here are the walls against a GZG 15mm figure:
Thanks John.
A 6mm forklift is something I keep meaning to do.
I should really.. |
 MrHarold | 20 Oct 2012 8:15 p.m. PST |
These look really great… i'm going to have to get a set. |
| John Treadaway | 21 Oct 2012 1:24 a.m. PST |
Yup – that works very well in 15mm. Nice for making civilian style/residential buildings with a low compound/courtyard wall. John T |

Those are very nice! Awesome work! |

I woudn't want to be defending that. You just sit inside and the enemy lobs fire in, or prepares to scale the walls as you helplessly stand by, clueless as to what's happening outside. Why? There aren't any parapets! Or rather, there's nothing but parapet -- there's no wall walk for defence or observation. It's basically a death trap. |

WOW. Cool corridor walls for 15mm ship or underground tunnel complex! Dan |

Hmm "there aren't any parapets" Actually I am pretty glad there isn't as
a) its more flexible that way ie. I can use what ever watch/gun towers I want.
b) at this parapets either have to be really deep to allow a typical infantry to stand on it (say 2cmm deep) or more realistically proportioned which looks okay but you can't use. I'm certainly having a couple of sets soon as they look cool to me :) ps Any news when the new RDF figure packs will be available? |

ps Any news when the new RDF figure packs will be available? Hopefully I can start taking orders this week, just waiting to hear back from the casters.
Basically the delay has been down to the gun of the female trooper being too thin.
It comes out very flat from the master mould and by the time it comes out of the production mould it is so thin it often fails to cast.
So I have had to thicken the gun myself with some greenstuff and the production mould should be ready this week.
Once I get the OK that the gun has come out fine I will get them on the site.
I can use what ever watch/gun towers I want. Or wait for the upcoming expansion packs for it! ;)
Michael.

Correct depiction of military walls does not affect your use of whatever watch/guns towers you want. b) at this parapets either have to be really deep to allow a typical infantry to stand on it (say 2cmm deep) or more realistically proportioned which looks okay but you can't use. The models don't actually have to be deployed on them, but they should actually be represented, or it's just a bunch of walls, which really is more of a military liability than a military defence. It'd be a bit like leaving the hatches off 6mm tanks because they are too small to open to put the TC in!  |

Such passion over the correct way to make science fiction models.
Brilliant! They are however civilian walls for anyone that was interested, not military walls, not that anyone actually asked mind…
;)

Controversially parapet-less or not, a few thoughts on a first look/review of them available at my Blog: link (Spoiler: I really like them!) :-). |
shows how to make roads, using the formula of the late Ian Weekley.
