Just saw this on the Sarissa site
http://www.sarissa-precision.co.uk/store/system8/
No actual pics but based on previous stuff should be very good.
-
I see an order in my future. :D
-
Here's a review with photos of the actual product: http://thefrontlinegamer.blogspot.com/2011/12/interview-steve-cummings-sarissa.html
Definitely looks promising.
-
The pics look great :)
-
Now that caught my eye! :o
Perfect for any Hard Scifi, near future project, but I can see all kinds of other applications too. Now for how to paint them up; gritty, or utopian?
More additions to my list of essential must haves I suppose... ::)
-
I'm curious about the Sarissa buildings in general, and would really like to see painted examples. Does anyone know of any?
-
Now they look lovely.

I found a painted example http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=34854.0 about halfway down the page. Looks very good.
-
DAMN!
I'm a big fan of the Wild West stuff and own almost all of it. Now it looks like I need to give them even more money!
Must find a new job quickly.

Thanks!

I saw some of this during a visit to Maelstrom Games last week; it's very detailed, crisp and looks good. I've ordered some as it's cheap and I'll be painting it up to match my other industrial bits.
-
Ordered the Warehouse plus some bitz. Looking forward to 'em. I'll post pix asap.
-
Oohhhh :o
gotta have them!!!
-
I painted some of their 15mm WW2 stuff. Nice- easy to put togeather and paint. the chimney was a bit disapointing, but everything else looks great. I would recomend them. and I would look at this stuff for any AE bounty/Necromunda games I might do in the future.
Here's a link to my Blog with a picture of the WW2 buildings.

ordered some and I believe they're sitting at the post office waiting for me to pick them up tomorrow... will add some comments once I have them in hand!

Nice work there Rob. I was thinking of painting the chimneys with a cornerstone effect to hide the joins.
-
Just picked mine up from the postie and threw one of the smallest pieces, the 'explorer' cabin together (without glue). It took all of about 5 minutes (and 1/2 that was popping out excess from mounting holes/slots!).
more later!

And your first, instant, gut opinion?
-
I like it, tbh. I've now put them all together (just dry-fitted, to get a feel for the size). They're very nicely done and drip with atmosphere, and should look great painted up. On the strength of these, I'll be ordering some more at the end of the month (got a nice colony world game bubbling in the back of my mind). They go together easily but some of the front wall tabs are a bit[i/] snug - easily fixed with a file though.
I would definately say they need to be built up permanently, I don't think they'd stand up to repeated assembly/dissasembly. Painting to hopefully start this weekend with notes and a work in progress, right here!
-
Looking forward to seeing pics of painted structures, as that will help me decide if I want to get some of my own!

Review of the Sarissa Gantry System
http://thefrontlinegamer.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-system-gantry-system-sarissa.html
-
The Sarissa stuff is looking great! I've seen some painted examples in the Infinity forums as well as on the Ghosts of the Civil Dead blog (http://civildead.blogspot.com/). I'm definitely getting some for my Infinity table.
Another company called Warmill's Lasercut (http://www.warmill.co.uk/) is doing something very similar that have apparently been developed at the same time. Some painted pics of their stuff:

Gantries and pod supports available for pre-order.
-
Those gantries look promising, I am not so sure about the bigger houses/enclosures. I mean, they look nice alright, but the price is getting to me a bit? If they were just a little bit cheaper (or maybe buy bundle deals?)
-
£20 or so doesn't seem steep for what is a pretty large building that you can get inside. Admittedly when you start adding gantries etc to that the price starts to rise but I'll be getting some.

Wow, I didn't realise they're that big! :o lol
So the roofs come off in the scifi buildings as well? Do they have interior walls or anything?
-
The small one is blank, but the larger ones have supports that can be spaced as you want which break up the interior a little. However there is an interior wall set that you can get to put in the pods and configure however you like. If you buy three pods I think you get the walls free.
Here's a link to an image on frontlinegamer that shows the roof off one of the larger ones with a large mech for scale.

Thanks, Dewbakuk. It looks more promising, but still on the fence on the price.
-
Looks very interesting, but like most people, I'd want to see how it paints up before committing to buying any of it.
-
Takes paint fine as long as they aren't watered down too much (it is wood after all), however washes shouldn't be applied too widely as they can be soaked up.
-
I thought they seemed rather affordable for the size... Personally I'll have to see first how I like working with laser cut MDF stuff, I have the Micro Art Studio apartment block kit waiting at home as a test piece.
-
The Sarissa stuff is easier to put together than the Micro Arts stuff, though neither is difficult. The MA block is a bit of a pain with it's roof and adding buts but has extra layers.
-
I painted some of the Sarissa silos up this afternoon, I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them here.
-
I just got my Sarissa pod order in this week and I'm in love. The industrial look of these pods is great for all kinds of settings, AT-43, Dust, 5150, Halo, AVP, Mass Effect, Firefly even 40k (with a liberal addition of skulls). Here's my reivew.
