Exotic Location Sets

[Steve F]

That's a very happy dino skeleton.

For versatility / flexibility / value for money, we have designed Rick's Cafe as the core part of the range. The terra-blocks from Rick's Cafe set are then rearranged with a few additional blocks that make up the add on to transform them into either the Museum, The Riad or The Souk.

Great! Any chance you could tell us the estimated cost of the basic pledge and the additional blocks to transform the cafe?

[Chris Abbey]

We will let you know costs as soon as they are finalised... still got 10 days to ge before we launch Kickstarter.
Ann is doing a test build of all the frets today as final QA, we will then run through our costing algorithm and let you know.

... and yes, he is a very happy dinosaur, he's ended up in a great museum! I think it must be the angle of the photograph!

Fantastic work! I can't wait to see these in action. 

[Eccentric Cowboy]

Gorgeous setup! Almost looks as fun as a real museum!
What immediately strikes me is how well this lends itself to a horror setting. Maybe I've been permanently influenced by the book Relic, but horror inside of museums is a sorely underused concept. That or I just don't get out that often. XD

Regardless, well done! More pics por favor!

Fantastic!  I received my first sets of terra blocks a couple of weeks ago, and I'm really impressed with the concept and the execution.  So I just ordered some more.  As much as I wish there was a stateside vendor, I have to admit that ordering from your UK storefront was a great experience...fast service, quick delivery, and everything in good order.
Continue to excel!

A first look at Rick's Cafe set.
This is the core building for the Exotic Location range. The Museum, Souk and Riad all use the pieces from this kit plus additional pieces.

I think it is useful for a wide range of gaming genres, some of which I have photograped and will share with you over the next couple of weeks.

This is looking very, very good, Chris! Must have it!   

[Stéphane]

I think this is the beginning of a beautifull riendship.

[Argonor]

Interesting. Who doesn't need a museum and a bar/café for all sorts of scenarios...?

Will follow this!

[Chris Abbey]

A first look at 'The Ancient Souk' Location.
This really is a set for all genres. 1930's Pulp, Dr Who, Bond, Star Wars.....

great work!  really tempting me to switch to clear bases too.

[Oldben1]

Fantastic.   
You need some noir lights casting shadows from those decorative screens.

[Chris Abbey]

Clear bases have become our No 1, best seller, we ship hundreds and hundreds out every week.
It just makes perfect sense. You could have beautiful diorama bases, but if they do not match the terrain the figures are standing on they look daft, so my regiments of 6 Napoleonic's based 40 to a base will be always be flocked green as 90% of the time they will be deployed on green terrain, but single figures will be on clear bases so they blend in.

Indeed! Clear bases are the way to go. And it looks like most of these are 20mm bases.

Clear 20mm bases are definitely my favorite.
