Interesting Sci-Fi terrain system from Russia
« on: January 18, 2012, 05:56:50 PM »
Just stumbled over this on the BattleTech forums, a Russian toy/game manufacturer with some very interesting products. Reminds me of Necromunda terrain.

It's really weird that I've never heard of these products before.

Tehnolog have been around for a while with the Platformer(?) and refinery style products. Haven't before seen those ones you show - the top one is my favourite.

Yes I notices that Refinery and Platform terrain, it's in the Urban War catalogue, too :)

The buildings do look useful, but there was a cautionary post at Dropship Horizon about a seller on eBay who peddles this company's stuff: http://dropshiphorizon.blogspot.com/2011/11/warning-tekhnolog-zod-15mm-plastics.html 

The potential recasting concerns are...concerning!

Yeah, selling recasts is a real problem on ebay. There's a seller who has been selling recasted BattleTech miniatures for years under different years after getting banned now and then, yet he keeps coming back because there's apparently a market for cheap, low-quality recasts.

By the way, that first terrain system looks modular, there seem to be some small connectors involved.

Yes it is.

And I've spotted that in this nearby thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=36973.0) much of the scenery is by same company, from the mentioned Platform and Hexagon scenery.

I think The Warstore and maybe Litko systems carries them.

Platformer and Hegaxon lines have been fairly widely available in the west, but otherwise Tehnolog availability is rather spotty here. I'm not sure if any of the set pictured in the OP have ever been out anywhere outside of Russia.

That Power plant in the 3rd pic is available from Pegasus Hobby.  Here's an Amazon link:

You can also get the very similar Syberclicks stuff:

This is my boomstick!

There are four separate ranges in that technolog stuff.

The Hexagon stuff.
The platformer stuff (which includes the refinery/chemical/biotoxin plant set)
The Syberclicks stuff (uses similar style clips to the Hexagon stuff, only the clips are a lot smaller) at least two sets.
The "Power plant" stuff (at least two sets)

They are all made from the same metallic injection moulded styrene plastic, but each distinct range uses different sized clips or linking bits from the others.  The Hexagon, powerstation and syberclicks cannot be interconnected with each other or the platformer or vice-versa.

I have about a dozen pieces of terrain using the first three groups of terrain sets.  The others are exceedingly hard to get outside of Russia (and I won't use ebay).  The Hexagon, Platformer have been done under licence by Pegasus (and have also been done by Airfix) which accounts for them being more readily available.

From various russian gamers I've chatted with, several of those sets are not permitted to be sold outside of Russian territories (it's a general trade thing, with many companies likewise restricted).
