They look excellent, are the long black poles for more aircraft, or balloons, or something else?

Planes on all of them .. a demo game is going on. We ran games back to back both days with the In Clouds of Glory rules..  At the topmost one the Halberstadt CL.II ground attacker is dropping a pair of 12 kg bombs on the advancing British Troops.

Thanks - so the aircraft can move up and down the rod to reflect their altitude very clever. For some reason I had assumed the aircraft where on the top of the rods, and out of the picture.

Seen the terrain in real, very very amazing stuff! Let allone the mechanics of flying.
If it wasn't for too many projects already ... but Clouds of Glory is on the list.
best wishes

Oh just wow! As a die-hard micro armour gamer, your buildings and terrain are stunning.

You really should up them to -:285 scale and then make them available ;)

We just did that.. Most of them can be found here in  (6mm) 1/285..  http://www.shapeways.com/designer/mugin/creations

You are welcome to make resin molds out of the prints.. We are not in it for profit.

Outstanding! Did you use any PzGrey buildings? If so can you post some photos to put on the shop and FB page, please?

Here's the link to the shop: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/pzgrey

There are LOTS of PZGrey buildings in there.. Along with some specials (the bridge, ruins, the church, the tailored angled corner buildings etc) designed by Thomas Greve (the other designer of the game).

White glue stille wet a few places on this...

Thumbs up! Thanks for the photos.

I've moved between three different countries in as many years and have all my ICOG stored back home waiting for better days.

Cracking!

I really like the way the sunlight is on the second shot, it makes it appear like a gap in the clouds, over half the village.

Did you say the terrain is 6mm? It has a really good sweeping look to it. And considering this is really just the backdrop to the air game, its even more amazing.

Lovely table.  I love the detail, love the planes...but this is one of those things where the rods/stands ruin the entire visual for me.  It pisses me off, because there is no real way around it.  There's no alternative than using some kind of rod/etc.   lol

Unfortunately, our R&D team has failed our expectations to deliver on their promise of anti-gravity tech for the planes..   >:(   

That said.. When playing we do not really notice the stands as they are very thin (1,5mm), but they always seem to look big on pictures due to the small scale of terrain elements and especially the planes..

I want to try this for the Vietnam War with 1/285 scale planes. Lot's of work to convert the rules though...

Oh! And those Star Wars Armada ships are just asking for a bash at it.  :D
