Title: Looking for funfair/ferris wheel etc terrain...
Post by: cheetor on 05 August 2015, 08:14:38 PM
Im looking for things like a 28mm ferris wheel, roller coaster etc.  Preferably cheap and requiring little extra work, flat pack laser cut MDF would be ideal.  I figured that with the Batman game around currently that this board would be be the best place to ask.

Any takers?

On a side note, I saw this table at Salute in 2011.  Loosely, this sort of thing looks like what I want, although I would like a ferris wheel.

Keep an eye out for Department 56 and other brands Halloween towns, usually one or two of the lines have a Ferris Wheel.

There's a Scooby Doo ferris wheel available as part of a haunted funfair set. It was going relatively cheap in Home Bargains in the UK. It might be convertible.

Unfortunately my phone won't let me attached the image as it's 'low on memory '. Stupid phone.

Thanks for the responses everyone.  Im looking for a quick fix, so I think that my first stop will be some toy shops.

It doesn't help you right now cheetor, but I'm pretty sure Knight Models plan on releasing the funfair scenery from the BMG rulebook - it's probably a fair way off release though.

Depending on how much they charge for it, that might be exactly what I am after really, thanks for the heads up :)

Are there any photos of that terrain up anywhere?  Im not very familiar with BMG.

Michael's Halloween stuff is out right now and Lemax has a bumper car set that is new this year and it moves on its own. The figures are a little bit large for 28mm, but fairly close. There is also a clown academy that might work as well. The clown in front is a bit tall, but you could "pretend" that he is on short stilts and then it would work. If using either for the MKG Batman, they would be just about right. They have a 30% coupon off until next week, but 40 - 50% coupons will be close at hand. My local Michael's had already sold 2 today at 30% off.

Thanks for all of the help with this everyone. 

I am several thousand miles away from a Michaels unfortunately, although every year around now I start to get jealous of the seeming landslide of suitable toy soldier items that seem to appear, Ecto 1s, Sleepy Hollows and now bumper car sets and freakin' Clown Academies fer chrissakes!!

Colour me envious Hitman  o_o
