Title: Need mealy bags...
Post by: OSHIROmodels on 21 September 2013, 10:09:31 AM
For 28mm (of course) and they need to be able to be put together to make largest areas etc.

Any links chaps?

cheers

These from Curious Constructs: http://curiousconstructs.theslowcentury.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_61 (http://curiousconstructs.theslowcentury.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_61)

Advertised as sandbags but could also be used for mealy bags, I think  ???

Any round or curved ones out there?

Don't think so as they seem to be a cooperation with Lucky Punk Miniatures but you can ask the owner of Curious Constructs about the further plans of this scenery range. Warlord Games also have some mealy bag barricades and a square barricade style stronghold but always though those were pricey.

Here's the link: http://www.warlordgames.com/store/black-powder/terrain.html#/page/3 (http://www.warlordgames.com/store/black-powder/terrain.html#/page/3)

If I remember rightly the mealy bags (as at Rorke's Drift) were bigger than a normal sandbag size, kind of up to the chest when on its end. Would 1/32 scale plastic sandbags be suitable?

Not for Zulu and after something more ready made (but not painted), but thanks anyway  :)

Furry muff. Do you need too many to make them yourself from Fimo or something?

Really don't have the time  :)

I think Hovels do them but their website isn't the best really.

cheers

The Hovels ones are here:

I've seen them at shows and they look alright. They're £3 for 2 95mm lengths I think.

I can really recommende these:

http://luckypunkminiatures.blogspot.dk/p/terrain-pieces-for-sale.html (http://luckypunkminiatures.blogspot.dk/p/terrain-pieces-for-sale.html)

I have still bought lot of them.

It is the ones we are using here:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41146.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41146.0)

Since then I have bought a lot more and more different designs have been released. All I have is cast very well and sculpted really good.

Yeah, the lucky punk ones seem to be the best so far but they don't seem to do a tight bend though which is what I'm after  :?

cheers

Unless you are in a hurry I would try and contact him and request it.

I requested the curved ones with lowered parts for guns to be placed and some others requested the redoubt.

I think the guy is really friendly to mail with and all.

I could also be interested in some with tight bends, so you can always say he at least have two buyers ;)

It doesn't matter much to me, just whatever suits you.  :) I can always use more variants.
