Looking fantastic.You just need a spice harvester and you have the table top equivalent of the old Dune computer game. Perhaps to avoid any potential IP issues you could make it a something else Harvester. Difficult to find a suitable synonym for Spice - Gravy? A Gravy Harvester? The gravy must flow!
That is awesome in so many ways. I love the terrain and how the vegetation is only in the canyons where there would be a little more moisture and protection from the heat. Then having the settlements along the canyons just looks right. That kind of attention to detail makes me happy!
I am always just amazed at your progress for this project and the designs you come up with just amazing!If you did come up with a harvester, mineral extraction machine could be a good way to go just to avoid any hassles.
Thank you everyone - too kind! I'm actually quite proud not to have to follow a renown IP to get armies done, BUT the idea of some mining devices is indeed pretty fascinating. Around 20 pages back in this thread I actually started working on a "mad max on excavators" faction, which will see the light hopefully before the end of the year! =) ...
For sure, I just loved playing that computer game back in the day (it was one of the first in the whole Command & Conquer style harvest, resources, build and expand style of game). The IP even on that was pretty light apart from faction names and harvesting spice. I think sandworms would also occasionally eat your harvester as well. The presentation of the game was quite 6 mm in style. So the tanks and infantry on screen were about the size you would expect in that scale and your troopers and tanks really remind me of it because of that. Some kind of mining machine would just be cool - sifting unobtanium from the desert sands. Please don't though as I have enough projects on the go!
Tropical terrain, eh?You setting up for a War in the Pacific WW2 project?And BTW, what happened to the large round antenna? I really liked that.
All the models are designed with 15mm scale in mind as well! Some people ( including a dozen Pages back in this thread) printed infantry and vehicles in 15mm with excellent results with a 240% scaling. The models need resupporting, but other than that they are really good!!
It is a wonderful set up. I love the details inside the canyon
Thank You, for the added information.That terrain table and all of your other work all together, looks great! wish I was one of your neighbors.
