Soldados Pulp Alley Stuff

[pistolpete]

I've looked at Stoelzels stuff but haven't risked buying.  Could you give your impression on  working with it,  cutting foamboard, affixing prints....

[soldado]

Hi Pete of course.

The document weighs in at 103 pages but you do need to print 2 pages twice so 105.

I've used the majority of an A2 size sheet of foamboard doing the ground floor and the beginnings of the 1st and will need another if Im to carry on.

the instructions need a few read throughs but it became clearer when I had the bits in front of me. I printed it out on standard printer paper and with only one or two major parts to a page and those well labelled doing the actual cutting and assembly of the parts went smoothly enough.

Putting all the walls into place got a bit tricky, as I found one or two of the walls did not meet up as expected, one in paticular is at least 8mm to long. which is why the build looks a bit wobbly in places, so test fitting all connections before applying glue is essential.

The only doors I cut out were the secret passage ones and for those there are rabbeting templates so it was easy enough.

Over all its a nice model and worth the investment if you have the time to build it.

Its been a while what with holidays and stuff

but what good is an Egyptian themed setting without a stargate



onto a certain SG team and those nasty nasty Jaffa!

[Wolf Girl]

Awesome! Can't wait to see more. 

[War In 15MM]

Great stuff... lots of fun!

[soldado]

Thanks both, things seem to be slowing down again, must try and get some motivation to finish some of the other bits 

[soldado]

So SG-1 arrives on planet, but is it the right planet or indeed have just gone back in time....

[d phipps]

Very cool! There's ready for action. 

[soldado]

Tah

Swelling the ranks of nasties, more cultists, these are the balance of the Blind beggar minis from the KS.



And SG-1 are in for a hot welcome on this particular world, I think they're gonna need a M.A.L.P!

[Mason]

Great stuff!
A most sinister looking bunch.
First time that I have seen the whole lot painted up by someone other than myself too.
 

The view through the Stargate is great too, but I have no idea what a M.A.L.P. is....
 

[soldado]

Glad you like them Paul.

A M.A.L.P is a "Mobile Analytic Laboratory Probe." Basically the recon bot from the TV series.

later on they became similar to the bomb disposal bots the army uses.

[Mason]

Aha!

Thank you, as there was no chance that I would have guessed that one.
 

[soldado]

 

To be honest I had no idea what it stood for, just thats what they called it every time they went through the gate.

the later ones shouldnt be to difficult to construct......

[d phipps]

Very cool! Great looking project.

[soldado]

So I got distracted with building a M.A.L.P



Its way to large based on the one in the show, but hey its heroicly proportioned

what do you lot think, should I try and make it smaller?
