Thanks for letting me know! It has been repaired.

I might back you if you tell me where the carrot man is from.
(Just kidding, I backed you already, now, where's the carrot man from?)

They look great.
If they reach the stretch goal for the design I like I could see myself going for quite a few.
Will watch this to see if it does.
Windows and other features would be nice to see.

You're the first to mention the humanoid carrot! Yay!
It's one of my own sculpts, something I've never put into production. I'll see if I still have a copy if you'd like one.

Backed it- I've been after this sort of thing.

Thanks for the support so far everyone. I'm really happy with how well this is going so far.
Since we're past the $700 mark you can now make your mix of doors out of either the Hive City Door or the Dark Empire Door. Just to be clear you pick which doors you want, it's not a random mix. And if the Trapjaw Door unlocks you'll be able to pick from all three of them. Any future unlocks will work the same way.
And speaking of the Trapjaw, I've had questions about gluing them back to back to be used in games such as Space Hulk. I designed them to have a pretty wide base so that when you assemble them this way they stand up pretty well without an additional base. Here are some prototypes showing what I mean.

Thanks again for all of your support. Please share this campaign with any relevant forums you're a part of or friends who might be interested.

I most definitely can find an use for these! :-*

Excellent, door 3 is unlocked.
Question, if I want 30 doors do I just triple my pledge?
Do I also triple postage?

I'm going to do some calculations this weekend to determine postage. I don't want to charge anyone too much but I still need to cover the actual amount. And I'm going to work up some higher door amount levels as well. Thanks for your interest!

I will be joining this Kickstarter once another level or two are added. I love the idea of using two doors glued together for games like Space Hulk and such. Does anyone know how many doors are needed for small to medium game of Space Hulk?
-
I'm in. Looking forward to some new door types as well.
-
Hmm. This has potential...

I think the first and smallest mission has seven doors or so, eighteen or nineteen doors on the second, which is a big map- if not the biggest. I think I made eighteen doors for my custom hulk.

Asking the wrong question. You dont play small or medium games of Space Hulk. :-)

I've owned all three editions of Space Hulk and I've never played any sized game. There just never seems to be enough time. That doesn't stop me from planning though. I'm thinking a bunch of sparkly new doors might be the motivation I need.

Here's the new Trash Bash Bits door, the Steel Iris. This seemed to be one of the more common requests so I made sure that it was included in this campaign. It's a classically simple device meant to open smoothly and close quickly and you just know that some poor jerk is going to get caught in between the sharpened steel petals and get snipped in half like a Twizzler between a hungry kid's incisors. It has been designed so that the base can be clipped off to create an octagonal portal for use in zero-G environments.

You can now choose from any of the four doors to make up the total amount of doors included in your pledge level.
I'm still working out the details for amounts of doors greater than ten. I am verifying some cost questions with my caster and double checking shipping before I post this new level. Thank you for your patience and I'll have the new information up as soon as possible.
Thanks again to everyone for your support and your enthusiasm for this project. And thanks to everyone who has shared it on gaming forums etc. That kind of coverage really helps.

Looks lovely :-*. I'm interested too in the more than ten purchases and shipping costs :), I'll be keeping an eye.
-
Since I can't change the pledge levels of the campaign please use this update for reference about shipping and larger pledges.
First off, I've added a $70 level for 50 doors. This gives a small discount when ordering fifty doors and gives correct shipping costs. If you'd like to order more than 50 doors please contact me and I'll determine the overall shipping.
Second, here's the updated shipping for ordering 10-40 doors. The doors are still $15 per 10 doors up to 50 doors.
$8 to ship to rest of world for 10-20 doors. $12 to rest of world for 30-40 doors.
$1 to ship to The US for 10-20 doors. $2 to ship to The US for 30-40 doors.
Please adjust your pledge accordingly.
Also here's an image showing the sizes of all four Trash Bash Bit doors.

Thank you for adding the 50 door pledge. That should be just about enough. For now at least.

Glad I could help. :D Are you going to use them for Space Hulk?
And thank you for the support. It is really appreciated.
-
They can be used in Space Hulk, but I also plan to use them for doors on Science Fiction 2.5D terrain tiles. I want to make terrain tiles for games like Sedition Wars and Imperial Assault, and eventually they will see use in my Aliens/Colonial Marines games.
And Thank You for making something I actually need. I thought the doors might be useful at first glace. But when you showed how to make the double sided doors, they became a must.

You definitely need to sell him. Love that guy.

Here's a new design of Trash Bash Bit that you can choose as a reward of this campaign.
Design #5 Window Gunport
A combination of high-tech window and gunport allows defenders a clear view as it gives them ability to fire weapons from within the safety of the building. The multi-layered window panes are easily replaceable after battle and contain small static generators to repel dust and dirt.
(Please notice that each casting of the Window Gunport makes two windows but counts as one door for the purposes of this campaign.)

I like the outline of the window. Makes it easier to cut it out and add another medium for a true window effect. Kudos.
