Thanks!

One more pic, just because:

Actually, the side view can show a bit more of the depht of the windows and the shutters effect.. I'm rather satisfied with the tridimensionality of the model, as opposed to the flat facades in laser-cut.

Beautiful stuff.

Beats anything laser-cut, hands down.

Really, REALLY lovely. Well done

In part because this...

...is so true, and your handiwork illustrates the point so wonderfully.
Depth, as you say, relief, texture... All the things missing from MDF...

That is true, BUT it would be great to make an hybrid model: resin is expensive, and there's no point in making lateral and back walls with that.

I did some experiments for 28mm expecially, where the front and back facades were in resin and all the rest (including interiors!) in lasercut MDF. That was quite cheaper than a full resin building, but with great looking exteriors! ^^

anyways, again does anyone knows a 15mm scenery company that might be interested in some WWII scenery? I'd love to be associated with some WWII company somewhere, but i don't really know where to look!

thanks
Jack

Yes, this seems like a very acceptable compromise, with great results.

Have you tried contacting someone at Battlefront Miniatures? I know they're a bit of a larger company and o might not be as interested in offerings from a small independent, but they may well be interested in this sort of thing. It's worth a try at least as there's certainly nothing to lose.

that's a very good point indeed!

Does anyone here knows them somehow? Contacting them through a contact might increase consistently the success chance!
LAFers, anyone?

I've done some experiments with the 28mm cobblestone i sculpted for Fenris Games 6 months ago. They work very well in 15mm as well, what's your opinion?

That's the setup:

and that's a... more artistic photo

What do you think?

Besides, as above if anyone has contacts with battlefront Miniatures, i'd be grateful to know!

Cheers

Honestly, and as much as I like them I think the cobbles are too big for 15s...

Which means you'll have to make some 15mm scale ones

cheers

do you think so? Because (in scale) they are 30 x 50 cm, which is even smaller than the tipical slabs here in Milan.
Or are you saying that to make me sculpt another one?

By the way, you might have more luck asking if anyone has a contact with Battlefront Miniatures in the general or commercial forums (whichever is appropriate). A request in this thread is kind of buried and lots of people might not see it.

So....when are you doing a full board full of this stuff?

I could! However, a local store sells 191x191mm squares of light MDF, and i am SO MUCH tempted to do a modular table. In that case i could do some roads with the cobblestone, leaving the rest covered with grass?

Got a message back from a friend in Scotland who heads a big FoW playgroup:

I don't know how much luck he'll have given that BF have a significant range of stuff they produce in-house (through GF9) and sell pre-painted.

If he's looking for promotional stuff and product reviews, I'd very strongly recommend he contacts WWPD (steven@WWPD.net I think) if he hasn't already.

Sangennaru · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2015, 04:19:10 PM »

Oh, thank you sir! Very interesting to know!
aActually, since in any case i'll not sell the scenery myself, i'm not willing to invest in promotional gifts around, but i didn't know WWPD before and it's good to have a new contact anyways! ^^
