Your saying buy 2 sets, then?

No - I am teasing anevilgiraffe by reversing half the image to make the gateway look symmetrical. I probably will make a symmetrical gateway at some time though.

First time I've come across these - what a fabulous concept! Looking really good, too. Nice work, Brandlin.
Why thank you Sir - I hope to be backup and running in a few weeks.

I would use them for my Tekumel figures-
Really excellent finished stuff
Well done again

Thank you. I'm not familiar with tekumel. I know people are using them for their Quar and Twilight figures

I'd like a symetrical gate too  ;)
So many projects..... so little time.......

The wood work effect is very well done, very neat. Is that just freehand painted?

It's a very nice off centre gate and fits the style well, but it just doesn't fit with what I play, sorry.

Originally it was a bridge - its doubling as a gate too though.

Yes it is. Its a lot less difficult than i thought before i started

I have a painting guide here
and plenty more pictures of the finished kit prototypes here

Judging by those holes, its all modular, and I mean modular after assembly, right?

Oh and I do think they are nice models, the bridge does do that job quite nicely.

Yes.

The holes have magnets glued in them, so that the walls and towers and bridges connect in any orientation - simply snap together strong enough to hold together on the tabletop, but not so strong you rip the model apart trying to separate them.

Likewise the roof cover on the watchtower is modular.

These models are also scaled to match the Pryn-Gul Tower (tall model with the turret) and Haft-Oob Stables (with the external staircase) models. So eventually the whole range will be able to be put together to make a cohesive multilevel platform system, or walled town or just a group of buildings.

That's the idea anyway.

Some bad financial news meant i wasn't able to continue so am on a bit of a hiatus, but i hope to be back in business in October.
