If you had doors, vents, and windows scaled for 15mm, I'd be all over that.

The design philosophy of these vehicles is to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the crew/passengers. So components like that are designed to shear off when the vehicle runs over a landmine rather than be forced up into the hull to become shrapnel. So a lot of the components like the gearbox and the drive train are outside the monocoque hull, left to fend for themselves.

Quite, I always thought these were an incredible design, way ahead of what any other nation was doing and most still haven't caught up.

Re: [LaserCutCard] 10mm building tests

We’ve been asked several times to look at doing 10mm scale buildings for games like Dropzone Commander and we’ve finally decided to give it a try.




These are early tests. These are the straight 28mm scale files shrunk down and cut. There are huge gaps or overlaps as the 28mm files were carefully balanced to take into account the thickness of the card, which is now hopelessly out.

Nevertheless, I think these show that we have something we can contribute to the 10mm arena – all we need to do is recalibrate the files.

Futurehab #2: the corner bar (see the 28mm building here: http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/shop/scenery/futurehab/corner-bar)


Futurehab #3: office block (still in testing – http://lasercutcard.co.za/2015/02/futurehab-office-tower-wips/


Futurehab #4: office tower (still in testing)

Looks great!

Have you guys considered doing a set of just stairways in 28mm?  Stairs are one of those time-consumning fiddly bits that even those of us who scratchbuild our own terrain might like to have pre-cut for us and it's probably a set that could ship for $1.  Seems like most of the work is mostly done in your container accessory set.

Seconded. Some stairwells of various heights, supported by their own framework to add to the side of buildings etc. would be grand.

Excellent!

As for stairwells, not a bad idea since we have stairs already that accommodate standard 28mm bases. We'll look into it

Re: [LaserCutCard] Skips and bins set
« Reply #53 on: 03 March 2015, 09:19:41 AM »
Since it is Tuesday and since we are trying to have something new every Tuesday, today is the day of the skips and bins :)



The “urban scatter” set has been renamed “skips and bins”. It has gone up in price $2 (from $5.50 to $7.50) but it now has an extra skip in it (which is the most useful piece in the set)

It ships worldwide for $1 and will love you long time.

Looks good! Are those Justice Department badges available with your vehicles by any chance?

Re: [LaserCutCard] How strong is the card?

We occasionally get asked “yes but how strong is the card?”

A picture is worth a thousand words so here’s a quick 2000 word essay entitled “How strong is our weakest model (the picnic bench)?”

How strong is our weakest model (the picnic bench)?

Yep - heavy duty cardboard. Can be cut fine with a knife. Approximately 1mm thick

Well, sh*t a brick. Onto a lasercut card picnic table, apparently.

 :D

That's an impressive way to show that yes, these things probably will stand up to the attentions of wargamers!
