Title: xmas terrain project, construction, thing
Post by: voltan on 25 December 2009, 06:41:26 PM: Not entirely sure why but apart from watching all the lord of the rings movies today, I has also been working on a 28mm-ish portacabin, it's a modular type construction you can see all 4 different wall sections there and each cabin will use 6 in all and another 6 corner/long joiner bit thingies.

E-bob falklands marine for scale, if you don't have one it's about so high....

I recognize those figures, but can't quite place them - are they TAG?

They look perfect for 21st Century UNIT from DR Who.

no door?

Post by: voltan on 02 January 2010, 07:27:34 PM: I'm just casting these for myself at the moment, because the corner pieces are very akward t cast, but I figured out I'd made the mould a bit more complicated than it needed to be :( so if I can find some more silicoln I'm gonna make a new simpler mould and see how that works

Post by: YPU on 02 January 2010, 08:04:08 PM: You know if I see those things around here they do tend to have upper story doors. (locked I hope) since they need to be able to deploy by themselves as well.

Post by: gamer Mac on 02 January 2010, 11:09:35 PM: two story ones around here have a set of external stairs to get to the top doors.
