This is turning into quite a nice project. I just hope the guy doesn't "Stretch-Goal" himself into a corner.

The beauty of it is...he spends X amount of time on a design, gets it right - and then just loads up the MDF, pushes a button, and does some quality control.

I agree though - some of the stuff is getting nuts.  I dig it...maybe have to consider getting in on it.

I love the new stuff. He just needs to 'franchise' the patterns to someone in Europe!

Fenris games do a complete sulacco/hulk set in resin for a very good price. Tiles with and without alien hive too.

Yup, and Fenris have walls and some much larger room sections planned as well.

The laser cut terrain looks good, I just think its like everyone's excitement for boxes of plastic figures - you get all excited and then when you open the box and realise how much of your life will be spent putting the damn things together you put the box back on the shelf  lol

I've already bought a stack of the Fenris tiles and the big plus is you can get it on the table pretty quick - undercoat, dry brush and off you go.

I'll take MDF all day over resin.  Assemble one good 4Ground MDF kit and you'll be blown away simple, robust, light-weight, strong, and "awesome" they are. :)

each to their own.  ;)

The key word for me there was "assemble"....

The resin Fenris tiles are also robust, light-weight, strong and awesome, and they avoid the hours of cursing as you glue your fingers together

I understand where you're coming from if you're talking about old MDF kits.  I inherited one at a convention, and it's comically complicated compared to the modern stuff.  Most of my modern MDF stuff fits together like a glove, so a dab of glue and done.

I don't consider resin to be a "robust" gaming material.  I'm hesitating buying more Black Scorpion models because they've gone all resin  :(

Remembering that I have to paint, assemble and store these bits did reign me in a bit on size of my purchase. I hope to keep to a pretty basic paint sceme--spray an undercoat in either black or gray and then dry brush the details using a limited pallet of a few colors. I think the fastest method will be to paint them unassembled, doing all of one type at once and then gluing them together. I got a bunch of resin computer banks and space scenery awhile back--my goal is to get them painted before this set arrives in the hopes it will keep me motivated to get the whole board done.

Yep, that's one of the few problems I have...good MDF stuff is relatively cheap and I end up buying a lot - then having to store it all!  Luckily my Old West stuff has interiors and I stash all of my extra bits in there.  I don't have money to get in on this, but definitely will when they become available.

Would agree in terms of gaming figures - have got a load of the tiles though, and they have survived the "drop test" courtesy of my kids a number of times  lol

Finished a few of my Bug Hunt Corridors.  The red LED in the corner is actually a slow flashing LED warning light.
The red pipes are from Pegasus Hobbies Chemical Plant kit.





The battery and switch glued under the corner piece...

Wow, nice paint job. Those are nice. Love the details you've added especially the blinking led.
