It has to be admitted that they are very well done.

[size=12] [/size] hello all

a couple of new buildings to show off

and in the next couple of days a 2 new building packs one fantasy themed

You can find all my stuff on my website here

my new favorite building the Command centre



and a experiment at doing a roundish building a 10 sided tower



what do you think of them?

any ideas for new buildings?

fred.

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?

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?

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

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
