Starship Troopers Whiskey Outpost Fort Kit?
« on: 12 January 2017, 02:16:35 PM »


A few years ago a company called Angry Badger made a laser cut fort that looked a lot like "Whiskey Outpost" from the 1997 Starship Troopers movie.  They have since gone out of business.

Im looking for something similar, but havent found anything that suits just yet.  Laser cut is ideal as it will reduce shipping costs and the prefabricated look suits the look perfectly.









Do any of you know of something suitable?


Thanks in advance.

Definitely, thanks!

I recognised that Warmill set as soon as I saw it.  For now that is definitely the front runner  :)

I was thinking you could get darn close with a few Hexagon/Platformer/Syberclicks kits.

Okay, a LOT of kits...

I came across this image while searching Doug, which looks like exactly what you are talking about.  It does look lovely.



Like the prefabricated flat pack structure that the model is supposed to represent, I would rather a very simple solution, Ikea like.
As I am not very familiar with the layout of the various Platformer products, I would have to research that in order to get what I wanted.  While assembling those items to closely match Whiskey Outpost would be fun in itself, a "one click" option is what I am after.

That one does look great though, doesnt it?

Warsenal's Comanche Outpost range may also be of interest, as might Mantic's scenery efforts (especially of you are thinking of something like the Platformer kits).

The pictures in the SST miniatures game rulebook WERE of the platformer stuff (they were one of the groups doing rebadged Technolog plastic terrain sets (Urban Mammoth also did them for urban war).
I've had multiple sets under different brandings over the years.  Some Airfix, some Imex, some Technolog, some Pegasus Hobbies, some with the urban mammoth. 
There were only a handful of sets from each range available to the west (Syberclicks was one range, platformer another.  Hexagon, a third; the power station set from a fourth range (there was also a fantasy set).
