Colonial Marines project (the Terminators are coming! 27/1)

[manatic]

Haven't they been released?  They're on the website under beasties etc.

Ah, meant the Aliens Kev sculpted for Akula.

Your project's coming along great, so sorry for derailing the thread a bit!

Mass Effect?  I just googled it and it's a game, right, but what are these fusion containment props?  Sounds interesting!

They're just objects/environmental props in the game, and so far as I can tell, not interesting enough to warrant pictures on Google. Antenociti's Workshop has a number of doodads in their shop that look like they're straight outta' Mass Effect, if you're interested though.

That dropship WIP... . You are the Macgyver of scratchbuilding. Can't wait to see more.

I vote for Mythbusters.
I understand fully where you're coming from, for me too conceptually it has to work. One of my favorite past-times is designing stuff on paper until it 'works'. Keep it up.

I was a little skeptical when I saw the chinook, as it is so recognizable; never realized how much of that was due to the front "bump" rotary housing and the two rotors!  Seriously, genius.  And for as much "CD" terrain as I've seen, I think this is the first CD case terrain I've seen.    Really cool, tucking that away for future use.

Cool project!
Can't wait to see the finished dropship.

Dropship is great SI,clever use of the heli.

Definitely more by Braz, than me - for starters, yours (and Braz's) look like its been planned out, rather than made up as you go along.

 

Out of sheer curiosity, why aren't they getting a release? IP concerns? Would probably sell like hotcakes.

Simple, I don't want to be sued, plus i don't need to turn a profit on them, and don't want the hassle of becoming a figure company, as I do this for fun.

Cool, ventilation ducts.
just what a Xenomorph needs to sneak up on a marine.

How will the vents work during gameplay? I imagine it would get a bit annoying having to move figures around while there is a vent on top of the board all the time.

Secondly how will you solve the problem of replability? Because the board is always the same what will you do to make it exciting each time you play?

Great board anyhow and I love seeing your progress.

[AKULA]

looks good to me - you seem to have the right balance of vents, for look and gameplay - too many/big and they hamper moving figures.

Nice! I love the shutter - I've been trying to do something similiar with a conversion to the plasticville garage/service station that I'm working on. This is going to help! And the casts - they look brilliant! Top stuff!
