Computer consoles and other bits
« on: December 20, 2015, 01:03:12 AM »
I am converting an old toy ship for miniatures usage, and I will want to be populating it with computer consoles, holographs, lockers, gun racks, and other science fiction necessities.  Anyone have any hints as where to find such?  I know that Scotia Grendel used to have some, but I am trying to find more options.

Most of the companies I've listed below make the stuff you've listed. I've highlighted the computer-y stuff for you, but it's worth digging around each of the webstores.

Antenociti's workshop:

- Desk-type consoles (link)
- Monitors (link 1, link 2)
- Big terminals (link)
- Small terminals and access pads (link)
- Holo-table (link)

Spartan Scenics have some too (link).

Copplestone Castings has some older-looking terminals here.

Armorcast have some older-looking control panels here.

Finally, there's some good-looking terminals and blast doors in the Sedition Wars scenery pack (link).

I do know of more, but I think these are probably more in line with what you're after - the other stuff I could link to is pretty much all laser-cut stuff (fine for objectives and such, but isn't sculpted as such). Hope that helps! :)

I would recommend the Spartan scenics if you can get it. Good stuff.

Not at all, you are most welcome!

People are always kind and patient enough to help me here on LAF, and I like to pay that goodwill forward whenever I can. :)

And, as I say, if you are after more MDF/Acrylic style furniture, I can link you to a fair bit (and I have direct experience with some of it too).

Very much so, 6milPhil.  If people keep dropping such good notions in, we may have to ask for this to become a sticky.

And I would be more than happy to see these as well - if nothing else, it would give me things to use for more flexibility in my Pulp Alley games and sci-fi wargames.

Hopefully this doesn't drag things off topic, as these fall into the "other bits" side, but Mantic's Dreadball Xtreme Obstacles and Accessories box has 30 crates, boxes and other doodads that make great starship cargo.  The description says they are plastic/resin (i.e. restic) but I have a couple of boxes and they feel like polystyrene to me.  Either way, there are none of the nasty restic mold lines to worry about.

Miniature Market currently has them on deep discount too:

Hmm.  The cameras are handy, but not good consoles.  Good link, though.

@ Malebolgia:

Wow, well done sir! A few new ones in that list for me (Zenterrain and Tewrrakami), as well as Shark Mounted Lasers (which I couldn't remember for the life of me).

Hmm, I feel more orders being placed...  lol

Never realised so many computer consoles and various useful bits where available had been thinking would have to make some from scratch. Must have taken some of you a while to compile these great lists of links... Cheers.

Which is why those of us wise in the ways of LAF take full, relentless advantage of others' ability to make lists.  Malebolgia, thank you for your additions!
