I've been working on a sci-fi detailing kit and come up with this handy collection to turn scratchbuilt buildings into highly detailed structures. To give you an idea of scale the T-shapes, bottom left, are approx 60x50mm. I hope to get better photos soon.

They'd go for around £12, if anyone's interested pm me.

Very nice. Lots of uses for pieces like that... 8)

Those look great Phil. Suitable for all your sci fi needs . . . . . . Maybe even mine!!

Nice work Phil.

Lovely work Phil - can see these having bags of uses.

Looks very useful indeed, I would love a reference shot with something 28mm and something 15mm. I always have trouble extrapolating the actual sizes in my head.
-
a scale shot would be great, as those do look very useful indeed, for modern games as well as sci fi..

I don't have any 15mm so hopefully this will suffice...

Thanks to the folks who bought this, I'm working on a smaller detailing kit, mainly for interiors. You can see it's progress here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=67720.0

You know what I would love ... a detailing kit for bases.
Things like debris so cans, bottles, books ... stuff I can drop around my characters feet to add some character to the bases. Esp. For my future wars mega city or Blakes 7 figures.

So, a bit like this one :

Hmm just maybe yes. I dont see any books or magazines but what is there is interesting. Have haf a swt before and are they any good?

I bought some cheap sample sprues at Salute that contained some stuff from both SF and fantasy sets.
Very nice pieces that will definitly see use as stuff to put on bases or objective markers or even to add to a figure.

Do it with paper, it's quicker and then you can have printed covers...

Print a picture of a book cover, cut it out, add some sheets of paper, fold over, glue and bingo ... sometimes it takes someone else to point out the obvious! Well I might just have to try that!!
-
No have a look at the jpeg on that link. The idea is to cut a long strip of paper with the cover at one end and just fold and glue it to the thickness needed. It's easier to try it than to explain it, so give it a go.

That's the type of thing I was thinking - what you've done with that mini's figure. (Is that Rose from Doctor Who by any chance?)
I take it you are saying you made it out of Rizla paper?
Sorry 6milPhil I don't see a link to follow?
-
yep, not that you can tell from the angle, but I did a crushed beer can (rizla rolled around a cocktail stick and then crushed flat and painted), a burger wrapper (rizla scrunched and crushed and painted) and a chip paper (same again)
