PeregrineFalcon Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 So, I have no affiliation what-so-ever to this KS, but its amazing and so fitting for any Kirai or 10T based tables. I'm considering backing this...regardless its beautiful! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1093338811/east-asian-village-for-28mm-gamers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thank you for bringing this project to our attention. Those are indeed impressive. I was just at Michael's Crafts looking at a smaller pagoda kit, but, at just around 10" tall, I'm fairly certain it'd be far too small to be usable. Their other models look fantastic, as well: http://www.renaissanceminiatures.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Too bad they're not currently available for purchase, as they are putting all of their resources towards the kickstarter at the moment. Gives me plenty of time to save up for them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeregrineFalcon Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 What I think is amazing, is that the price is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 It definitely makes me wonder which would be the better investment (as a theoretical exercise): A laser cutter to make awesome terrain like this, or a 3D printer to make awesome models?

ape2020 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah Renessance Miniatures is really nice and soon they will have their Medieval Village line (from their first KS) up for sale on their web site. Both these lines use the same modular system and so you could mix walls and roofs with each system. I got the Tavern and Inn but haven't put them together yet since I was going to a con. But the Tavern is like 16"x16" and two levels, while the pagoda has seven floors and will be 18" tall If I remember right. Here is the Well Oiled Tavern. I think this and the other big building in the Medieval Village line would work well with Malfaux. -ape2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto... I know if I had the cash, I'd want them both... and a Robo Cutter for cardstock terrain. <= Greedy Bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Oh, I've considered getting a Robocutter to make downloading World Works kits truly worthwhile. And as some of them (if not all of them) come with the file type supported by robocutters, it'd just be print, pop out, assemble, done.

Any of the TLX kits except for the modern and sci-fi are great for Malifaux. The Deadfall, Thoumont, and Himmelveil sets are amazing.

You can get the 3D printer for less than the laser cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 You can get the 3D printer for less than the laser cutter. I haven't priced either, yet, but I'm sure they come in various qualities / levels of capability. The more ya pay, the better and more versatile it becomes. I know it's completely off topic, but the price levels on the Kickstarter for Wild West Exodus made me feel like if I had that kind of money to pledge, I could just start my own company, with my own 3D printer.

Dunni Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I was holding off on this. You are an evil person, ape2020. My resistance is broken. I second that. I've been watching them, but these latest updates will force me to outfit my table for Kirai. Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ape2020 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Here are some more stuff for East Asian Village for 28mm Gamers KS including unlocked Small Temple and Hokora (small shrine). Also have the new $45K and $50k stretch goals Fishing village. Small Temple Hokora (small shrine) Fishing Village There is actually more coming for the fishing village and these are just the first prototypes. -ape2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ape2020 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Well for the final week they just added a large junk that is very impressive and I thought some here might be interested. It's a gigantic model - 20" from stem to stern - a 100' ship in 28mm scale! The main mast towers 13" above the waterline and the beam is 5" at the widest point. Comes with a "dry dock" to help assemble it and like most other models comes pre-painted. Of course it rather easy to repaint if you so desire. This shot shows that you can remove the roof of the main cabin and the hatch down into the hold. You can also remove the roof from the sail/rope storage area in the stern: Soon they will be adding the fishing village but even now you can get the peasant village, docks, and these small ships. Just unlocked the fishing village so I thought I would update this post instead of making a new one. The look actually works for more then just Asian style settings and should work well for Malifaux slum dock areas. -ape2020 Edited April 30, 2013 by ape2020 added new info.
