Eureka Tripods available
« on: 02 March 2011, 08:58:42 AM »
Hello all,

Just a quick update. For those members who have asked

The Tripods and martians I designed are now available (with instructions)
from Eureka. They aren't listed on the website. They will probably be listed when Eureka does a "official" release in the next month or so.

However if you email Nic at Eureka directly he can sell them to you.  Also the Martian aliens are available too.

Here's some pictures:

Cheers


Fuzzy.   :D
Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Great stuff. Love the Martians.
Will Fighting 15s have these in the UK eventually do you know?

Too good for those blighters!  :D

I must say, the 'body' alone causes one to think of many possibilities, whether VSF, Pulp, or...? I see yours are removable by pins(?), but certainly can foresee making the legs magnetically attached.

Do you have an idea what's the asking?

Hi Neil, The tripods are looking great. I've always been keen to try Gaslight at NWA.

Cheers,

Ian

The way I have constructed my own tripods is to use square K&S tubing for the legs. This makes them removable for storage and they won't twist during play.
I use magnets for attaching the tentacles. You get the magnets in the pack  :D

This is good news, just the other day I checked to see if they were on the website yet. I will certainly be putting an order in.

Fantastic tripods!

I could certainly use a couple.

Will depend on the price point.

Okay, ordered mine. Here's the price I got:

Tripod: 100 AUD
Shipping (to the Netherlands): 38.20 AUD
(in Euros: 67,17 & 25,66; combined = 92,83 euro)

Not too shabby IMO 8). Mine goes in the mail tomorrow. Woohoo...I mean...UHLA!

As I feared, a too reasonable price. ;->=

If they were silly cheap, I'd have a dozen. As it is, they will be a bit on my wish list.

I, too, await others' vision in paint.
