and i am hoping to get feedback from you on what you think of my new products and any ideas you have
so lets get into it
my first 10 mm products are about ready to go, few litle adjustsments to do

i am thinking a price point of 3 or 4 for £10

Well....I like 'em lots !
Cheers - Phil
Very nice, can they be made semi detached or terraced too?
Price is good(for 4) and I like the models.
Bit of variety would be good too :-bd

yep can be made as both the bases on the retail ones will be flush to the egde of the building

variety to come shortly :)
Will that include chimneys etc?
Looks great, just a bit of variety on the Windows and their placement will go a long long way. :)

whats your blog?
PMed
these will be going on sale today

hope you enjoy them
I can see those selling well.
They look good to me. The only thing missing that I can spot are the chimneys. Not difficult to add, I guess, but it would be better if they could be included - if only as an add-on bulk pack. :-\
I think they look nice and 5 for £12 is a good price. I'd agree with the comments about chimneys, but then I've got a lot of card building and never bothered adding chimneys to them either.
The floor inserts - as the buildings include bases, I'm figuring the inserts are to represent the 1st floor - if so, how are they supported inside?
One of the problems I have with 10mm buildings is they're too small to move figures around inside, and none of mine (all paper folded types) have an upper floor.

they are the same dimension as the internal size of the building so you just slide them to were you want them inside and apply glue and the thickness of the wood is enough to keep it there
its big enough to fit bases up to around 30mmx40mm
Ill add chimneys soon when I get a free moment to design them, if I can squeeze them onto the same piece of wood as the buildings there won't be any extra charge
Hmm... If the buildings were made with removable roofs, plus good solid location blocks to lift the whole thing off the base, you could use both ground & 1st floor.
Fiddly, though...

yup fiddly indeed thats why its a optional extra
A couple of new buildings in the 28mm range to show, these are available now
The Tech Centre
A medium sized building with loads of detail and options to have door/windows open or covered
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-847tTrmOXaI/Unq28LHL6II/AAAAAAAAHDo/3ig7ZtJieIM/s640/DSCF0964.JPG)
The Battle Base
A very large building coming in 5 parts, options of open/closed doors.

Some interesting stuff there. You've some way to go to begin to touch 4Ground's quality though.
Is Pendraken considering stocking these or are you just using their forum to run your sales?
But 4 Ground ignores 10mm! >:(
How about converting some of the houses into shops? Shouldn't be too much of a redesign.
As for 4Ground, it's a lot easier to get detail onto bigger models, surely?
Could be doing with just a touch more detail around doors & windows, mind you. There's no door frame and no indication of a window sill.

True but their 15mm stuff matches 10mm OK. Some chaps had them at my club for a WWII game - looked splendid!!

Minibits will be stocking these from the end of the year hopefully, and we'll have them on the show stand with us.

Thank you all for the feedback and as Leon said he will be taking them on, on his website Minibits and shows.
There will be more 10mm to come, shops are a good idea, and I'm working on some bunkers at current should see them shortly

If their 15mm stuff is nearer 10mm that makes them quite expensive (IMHO, others may have a different view).
It has to be admitted that they are very well done.
hello all

my new favorite building the Command centre
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VvdlTAZNvvE/Uq-DMNOdkBI/AAAAAAAAICQ/zzeYTyQyFQs/s600/DSCF1429.JPG)
and a experiment at doing a roundish building a 10 sided tower
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNvchcJgleI/Uq9_5YPZZ4I/AAAAAAAAIAE/KhdWfD3Afak/s600/DSCF1410.JPG)
what do you think of them?
any ideas for new buildings?
I like them.
On the fantasy tower - would the 'fins' be better a bit thicker? And I'm not sure about the circles on the roof - they make it look a bit like a helicopter landing pad.
But overall it looks great - how tall is it?

i cant really make them any thicker wunless i start using a thicker wood
i am undecded about the circels too. lets see what other people say too
It says 10mm Isengard to me! Brilliant!

yes loads of people keep saying isengard,
i was just trying to get a round building and i ended up with it by accident
A spider web pattern would look more fantasy than circles...
Could you put a nose cone on that 10 sided tower for a '50s style rocket?
Quote from: fsn on 18 December 2013, 09:39:03 PM

yes a point could be added to it it would be the same as the sides a series of flat pannels to make the cone
it would be one fat rocket

now that is a great idea
So i was looking at white dwarf and there was this neuron flyer, see image
http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3060022a_2xl.jpg
i was looking at the hexagons and the flames and thinking about how they did it. As i wanted to replicate it on my models
and i had an idea while i was thinking about it, air brush templates. I could laser cut them in 2mm mdf so anyone can paint this without having to cut out hexagons from a printed template.
I kept thinking about this and i am coming up with a range of spray paint/ air brush templates for war gamers to use
starting with hexagons and a few other simple shapes to test the market.
What do you think is anyone interested in this?
Like these ones: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1828606900/ttcombat-presents-snappy-stencils (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1828606900/ttcombat-presents-snappy-stencils)
Those guys seem to have done quite well with them, but I think the rigidity of the MDF spoils the effect on curved surfaces. Both Critical Mass Games and Anarchy Models do similar products in vinyl or cardboard I think, which has the benefit of being pliable, and you can fit it to the model snugly before spraying.
Yes someone else had pointed the kick starter out to me, should of done some research first oh well, will just have some competition i was thinking the same about not being able to curve it. Got some flexible stuff to try it on
There must be a market for them, the amount of money those guys have generated shows people like the idea. It's a very simple concept as well, and easy to manufacture on the machine.
So here are the first few template ideas
Of course there are some hexagons and a bunch of random ones (some need a bit of work)

as suggested by Wulf a spider web is more suited for the tower so i have replaced the circles with a web
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j_c-3iGSq18/UrYUWWtg55I/AAAAAAAAIIA/DdlZ8LphdM8/s600/DSCF1489.JPG)
Yes, like that a lot! :-bd
Very nice 8)
Ace!
That IS rather splendid ! :-bd
Cheers - Phil
Spider web look much better IMHO 8).
Great :) thank you all for your comments.
Keep them coming.
I am here to listen to your comments not just show my work off

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XV_eHQuNzIc/UrX6SlbCiOI/AAAAAAAAIGc/sFAIP8OI1w0/s600/DSCF1478.JPG)
Second is the first in a new range of products

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4KhNL3Rs56c/UrX46ZJFdlI/AAAAAAAAIFc/69YjbPhFQZ4/s640/DSCF1470.JPG)
There are now also a few Buildings Deal packs on my web store in the commercial buildings section

Very nice. Makes me wonder when I will start playing fantasy.... :-\
Look good to me ! 8)
Cheers - Phil.
Once again, very nice.
Would you be able to rescale the fantasy cottages - and the church on your website - to 10mm? Well, the tower too really ;)
Cheers,
Meirion
thank you :)

hello
yes it is possible to do
if it is something a few people want then i can get it done
Does the church come with a 4th wall? And possibly even a roof...
Quote from: Wulf on 24 December 2013, 02:38:05 PM

no back wall or roof. i dont put roof's or back walls on my open buildings its to make it easier to get you hands and arms in to move troops about
if you wanted one with a back wall and roof them it can be arranged.
In 10mm I'd certainly want a building, not just bits of one. They'd fit easily in the middle of the table. Same with the industrial/city buildings - although they look like you could exchange bits.

I'd buy that then!
ill add it to my list
in the middles of a large project, then i got a small request then ill get on it
Would it still come with the gravestones & fences in 10mm? I've got some 10mm scale gravestones... they're tiny... :-\

yes pretty much the same but the fences will be a different design they would be to small fo all the detail
