Erion Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Ok, So being the impulse buyer that I am I picked up one of these for $20 at the FLGS yesterday. I've been playing with them for something like an hour now and have built no fewer than six building/defensive walls that look great next to CAV's, including a raised landing pad with ramp, a CAV repair gantry big enough to fit a CAD-Rhino, an infantry sized bunker and two different styles of defensive walls. I haven't even come close to using half of the parts on the sprues. At this price, I'm already thinking I don't have to worry about taking them apart. I'll just buy more! I'm having too much fun building right now, but I will post pics of some stuff with models for scale later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe the Painter Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 They are the same kits. Tehnolog licensed them to i-Kore, and Pegasus Hobbies/IMEX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erion Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Finally, here are some of the Pics I promised. None of the building have been painted or prepped in any way. This is what they look like right after you put them together. A CAV-Sized Repair Gantry Landing Platforms with Boarding Ramps A Bunker Some Smaller Generic Buildings. The larger building has some size 0 cover on the top along the long edges. A Bigger Building. Some small parts of the ends are cut off in this shot. A CAV-Sized Prepared Firing Position. A CAV-Sized Firing position Big Enough for Two: Some of the other structures, with a section of perimeter fencing. All of these buildings are assembled at the same time, and I still have some a good number of pieces left over, but I ran out of right-angle connectors. For reference, The CAV in the Gantry is from my in-progress Templars 103rd Regiment -- Mason's Vengeance. The others are from UDO, my Unnamed Demo Opfor.

Darkstar Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Thanks for posting those pics. The level of detail on the moldings is great! I'm even more interested in these now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erion Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 The real beauty is that it all disassembled in about ten minutes because I wanted to try building one of the more traditional structures for which the set was intended.

Erion Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 By way of keeping everyone informed, I'm not anywhere near as pleased with the "Platformer" set I bought. Most of the actual construction pieces have to assembled from at least two (in the case of the support pylons eight!) of the on-sprue pieces before you can even think about actually stringing them together, and the connections are no where near as snug. The one I have in-progress for 28mm skirmish droops noticably in the center where I don't have a support pillar. Even the Ramps are in four separate sections. I bought two of the small platformer kits, and I will be taking the unopened one back to the FLGS to see if I can swap it for a small Hexagon kit.
