Testing the water...

Didn't want to go too far down the route of producing every last variant of the latter as that would be just a little bit *too* anoraky ;)

Just do the Glasgow one that is very similar... most gamers won't notice, but it protects you.

I do have a brass kit of one sitting here waiting to be made in 40mm

Now why do I have a picture of you in my head, out on the street explaining to an officer of the law exactly what you're trying to do with a tape measure and a post box? :laughing1:

:police:  :icon_angel:

Because that is probably how it will work out :icon_wink:

[Perv]

Tell the officer that you're just checking to see if its big enough for you to quickly change into your superhero costume when needed  :icon_razz:

Then I might end up in one of those nice white jackets and carted off to a padded room.

Back on topic: @Geronimo  you also do brass etching?

Unfortunately not - we source it out ourselves. I have looked into putting standardised sheets of etched brass details (plants, railings, mesh,etc) onto our eBay store but can't really do so at a price low enough to be competitive and to also make enough to cover eBay and PayPal's fees,let alone profit! We do rotate stock on the store to try things out so there may be etched brass in the future; and we are definately looking at our own range of "standard" brass sheets for things like roadsigns, SF panelling and the like. And if you can't find a reliable local supplier of custom brass etchings I'll be happy to pass on details.

WHat we are in the process of trying to figure out, though, is a way of offering a bespoke laser cutting service, as this can be used to produce very fine details of similar quality ot brass etching. The phonebox above was all cut and engraved on our laser, in thicknesses of 0.25 and 0.5mm acrylic, so that should give some idea of the fineness achievable. Basically, though, if you can produce CAD files we can produce acrylic cut pieces in 2.5 dimensions, up to approx 6mm thickness sheet (though we are looking at a newer, bigger, whizzier laser that will allow us up to about 25mm acrylic :O ). When I get chance I'll try and post a new thread with details. Also something with regard to casting, if you're still interested Mike....

Are the resin doorways sourced?

or just done in a similar way to some that I have from a long time ago.

The not-Space Hulk doors? Nope, I made those on our laser, and they're cast in our vaccuum machine :) But I have seen other eBay sellers selling a few of our bits, so perhaps you got those....

[Bungle]

No the egyptian stuff

the doors look original but similar to the old grendel ones.

The statues look similar too.

were you influenced by them? Do they match in in size?

[Bungle]

Ahh,right. They *are* the old Grendel stuff. The guy who sculpted them - Alan Simpson - is an old mate and kindly donated all the original masters to us. So our versions are as sharp as the originals and hopefully cheaper :)

Alan is also in the process of sculpting a whole new range of stuff for us. Suggestions always welcome !

Are they? has he changed them a bit, because they look slightly different? ( or is it just my addled brain)

I love them because they are non scale specific and work great with 15mm as well.

( I bought mine wholesale is a stock clearance.. very cheap  :icon_suspicious: )

Suggestions... hmmmm loads of stuff but what would sell? ....... 30mm high easter island head?

Sci fi ruins/ alternate mythology.. but they probabaly wouldn't sell.  :shrug:

[geronimo]

Easter Island (ish) statues are on the drawing board. I;ve also sketched up a Runequest troll tribal stone head for sometime when there's a gap in the schedule :)

Being a Dwarf collector I only really look at Dwarfy stuff.  GW used to do a Dwarf Stronhold resin piece and this always seems to sell well on Ebay.  I dont think it was a large a piece either, I'll try to find a pic of it.  I've tried many times to find an entrance to a Dwarf Fortress, with a big door and pillars either side etc but nowhere seems to do one....

would you believe it, theres one on Ebay at the mo

I am still interested in the resin casting services you offer and I will send you a Pm during the weekend regarding it.

Cool,no worries.

Back On topic: phonebox and post-apoc bases are now listed in our eBay store. 10/12 standard/topper bases at £2.99 a set, phoneboxes £4.99 a pair (unfortunately the nature of clearcast resin means a more labour-intensive production process).

[Perv]

I'll keep checking to see whats ya got  :icon_razz:
