Sigh...looks excellent and suitable for my Cyberpunk table...but totally useless for me as I don't own a 3D printer. Good luck with the campaign!

Color me interested.  It looks like you've come a long way from the PA stuff on the last kickstarter.  I don't have a big need for the in game destruction feature (seems pretty fiddly) but the working doors and windows should be useful.

A quick question on the walls.  Are they printed vertically or flat and then glued together?

rwwin Thanks a lot! We really have improved on the quality of the models and we have carefully tested all of them to make them as printer friendly as possible. Answering your question, the walls print flat to the bed, but there is no need to glue them, as we have designed a system of tabs that keep them together with no need of any extra element.

We have unlocked 7 stretch goals already, here some images:
The traffic light

The urban planter

The urban fence

The antenna

We have tons of models more to unlock here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thunderchrome/thunder-chrome-2-3d-printable-sci-fi-scenery-for-w

Officeworks has 3d printers you can use now.

I fear he is round my neck of the woods mate. But plenty of ways to rent a 3d printer around here as well. I think we have the densest 3dhubs.com population in nl.
3d designer, sculptor and printer, at your service!

Ah, so no interior detail on the walls?

Not from start, but there is a stretch goal planned at 8k to unlock interior details 😉

have you ever thought of getting a soft drink/fizzy pop can and then designing a top cap and base that prints out for it. You could even print out a few strips that ran along the body of the can.

You could make everything from storage tanks to hab modules with them.

That is genius.

I like this comment!

There is a ton of supermarket items that are universal across the world you could apply this to as well. The kinder egg being another good example.

It's indeed a good option to avoid printing times, but of course at the third can you are sick of them and want something different. I've seen it done by Surus in Spain, in fact I own one of those, they sell you the "finishing" parts and you put the can.

Really great looking scenery. Are you concentrating on the sci-fi now or do you have more to come for the post apoc range?

For this KS we have gone full Sci Fi. Once the ranges have been established we will expand them.
