Tile suggestions

feeds@yuku.com (MrSleep) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:08:16 GMT

Just a list of tiles I'd like to see (suggestions on how to make these would be appreciated as well)

Transition floor piece molds

Basic blocks with fantasy engraving (generic runes, etc)

Floor piece variety pack (Fleur-de-lis, Celtic cross, Bowen Knot, etc)

Caryatids?

Preview of the Sci-fi accessories pieces so far

feeds@yuku.com (Bruce Hirst) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:51:18 GMT

Hello everyone!

This will be a long post. After 2 months of work I'm going to post photos of what I have worked out so far. All of these bits will be for the Space Hulk or Star Wars type of accessories. I'll probably divide the molds into 2 types - stand alone accessory bits and machinery building bits.

These pieces are my first test and they still have several changes before I end up with pieces I think will make good molds. The only way to find out what pieces...

Outdoor Mold

feeds@yuku.com (VigoSprax) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 08:06:47 GMT

So, I've been making outdoor terrain, mostly using the carpet tiles from the starship deck mold #270. Its perfect for sand, grass, or snow. I prefer having a grid for Star Wars miniatures/rpg.

I've made molds of other floor pieces to make building faster but I'm not confident I could make a good mold replicating the texture of the carpet tiles.

What I would like to see is the same textured piece on another mold (hopefully more than three), along with transition...

Logs for Cabin, Palisade Walls, Rafts, ect...

feeds@yuku.com (Yarmuck) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:48:26 GMT

I think that this had been lightly mentioned before, but I wanted to bring it up in full force again. I think it would be great to have a log mold with which we could make cabins, palisade walls, rafts, or support beams for upper-levels in walls or what not. People here are wickedly creative so I think that giving a basic use mold like this could spark a lot of great ideas. Kind of like how awesome the small brick mold is. Here's a sketch of what I had in mind.

Gothic Ruins

The fieldstone line has a mold for Ruined Fieldstone. I would like a Gothic Ruins Mold. Broke pieces of Gothic blocks.

Gothic and Egyptian low walls

feeds@yuku.com (willypold) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:28:29 GMT

I don't know if this is feasible or really needed, but I got this thought while using the new low wall for sci-fi. What about a similar treatment for the Gothic and Egyptian lines? The suggestion of walls that looks "busy" while still only half an inch high, to be used like the sci-fi low walls. The treatment could possibly be about what type of decor that is put on the outside of the wall, rather than teh wall itself. This is maybe just a random thought, that is too difficult...

Aiuto per colata marmorina!

Salve ragazzi...

facevo delle ricerche in rete per trovare una soluzione ad un mio progetto e mi sono iscritto!!So che c'entra poco e nulla con le vostre creazioni, che sn stupende, ma avrei veramente bisogno di alcuni consigli riguardo al colaggio di marmorina in uno stampo di gomma siliconica bivalva;

Il mio problema è semplicemente questo: quando tiro fuori il pezzo è pieno di bolle e bollicine, soprattutto nella parte che corrisponde alla parte superiore dello...

Oktoberfest! (Tavern Accessories)

feeds@yuku.com (ZombieEngineer) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:28:01 GMT

"After completing your tour of duty at the border keep you trudge into town, tired of your journey you look for something to slake your thirst. You see a tavern ahead, you head in to see what your coppers can buy..."

In the tradition of nearly every role playing game where the players meet at a table of some suitably seedy bar we have the following:

Two of these make the legs of a trestle table:

What makes a good mold suggestion?

feeds@yuku.com (ZombieEngineer) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:21:41 GMT

Bruce,

What sort of stuff should people include in their suggestions that would help you design a new mold?

How useful do you find:
- Links and pictures of "inspiration"
- Explaination of how the item could be used in:
a) Board games (eg: Space hulk, Robo Rally, etc)
b) Roleplaying games
c) Wargames
d) Diaramas

Any update on the round tower roof?

feeds@yuku.com (The Red Graf) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:05:27 GMT

Hi Bruce, I would be very interested in finding out how close the tower roof is to being ready for sale. I really want one of those molds.

Thanks

Doors and floors for Space Hulk and Star Wars

feeds@yuku.com (Bruce Hirst) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:37:32 GMT

Hello Everyone!

I just thought I would start a new thread since the other one was getting pretty long.

Here's a photo of the bulkhead door. I photoshopped them back-to-back so you could see what the finished door would look like. It would look a lot better being in the same color as the rest (instead of white plastic).

The ramp at the bottom is a separate piece. It glues back-to-back (like...

28mm Sandbags

with fabric texture! Would be perfect for Warhammer 40k

Gothic ornemental piece

feeds@yuku.com (Sproutch) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:12:55 GMT

Hello,

While walking along a church near of my town, I noticed a small decorative part which could improve somehow boring plain gothic walls.

This is a triangular part (from the top point of view) rising from the rectangular block. Some are a smaller triangle over a trapezoidal part.

You can more easily figure out from these pictures.

Star Wars Mold Suggestion - Updated with pics from my mold, thanks guys.

feeds@yuku.com (VigoSprax) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:34:12 GMT

Hey guys, I just finally bought my first batch of terrain tiles and walls after seeing some really great examples of Tatooine on the web. I'm going to be using the molds to make terrain for the miniature battles game but more importantly my elaborate star wars RPG I'm planning to host after we finish our current D&D campaign. I got a mix sci-fi and egyptian tiles that I think will be really great for almost everything I plan to do. (I think the new junk mold with the pipes is...

new molds idea - STEAMPUNK

feeds@yuku.com (1632fan) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:09:06 GMT

There are lots of bits here and there that would fit with steampunk, the new pipe molds are just right for boilers and steam pipes, but we need big gears (and little gears) panels with lots of steel rivets and other odds and ends.

More basic wall blocks for the Sci-fi line

feeds@yuku.com (willypold) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:21:59 GMT

Let's have a mold with just basic building blocks with some decor for the sci-fi line. I specifically want pieces of the following shapes and dimensions:

0.25 x 0.5 x 1
0.25 x 0.5 x 1.5
0.25 x 0.5 x 2

0.5 x 0.5 x 1
0.5 x 0.5 x 1.5
0.5 x 0.5 x 2

Also additional versions of the 0.25 x 1 x 1.5 from the Sci-fi wall mold, but with a flat front.

I would love to have a kind of surface for these that would fall somewhere between the...

Cavern molds discussion

feeds@yuku.com (ukdane) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 11:40:20 GMT

Before I start, I just want to make it clear that I am both very grateful for the work that Bruce puts into all his molds, and think personally that they are of the highest quality. I own all the cavern molds, and they suit my needs perfectly.
This is therefore just a general question, to open a discussion, and is in no way meant to "out" people, but just to generate ideas.
I've heared people on more than one occasion (in the chat room, and possibly in other threads)...

ruined fieldstone round tower

feeds@yuku.com (protana) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:33:24 GMT

hi, i have a suggestion for you :
You should create a mould witch merge the "Round tower" and the "ruined fieldstone". This mould should be usefull to make ruined castles. It will be ideal with several windows and arch sizes.
It should be the same mould as the #164 (round connector pieces) with the fieldstone texture.

dead guy molds

feeds@yuku.com (elfinn3) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:35:58 GMT

This is totally out of the realm of typical Bruce Hirst, because it's neither precise nor architecture, but I would love to see a dead guy mold. Whenever my players kill a bad guy, the bad guy mini leaves the board, because, well, 1" based minis look stupid on their sides and take up too much gaming room. I've started replacing them with 1" bundles of cloth, dipped in glue to harden and painted to look like a bloody mess of a creature. That square becomes difficult terrain...

Been looking at Malifaux...

feeds@yuku.com (AmishLuvah76) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:36:12 GMT

Been looking at this miniatures game since GenCon and I just realized that there is a severe lack of viable Old West, Victorian or Steam Punk terrain out there. Now, for for Old West I'm thinking wooden plank buildings, maybe some appropriate scenery bits to go with it. The other two, I could probably come up with something good with the gothic molds and some small pipe molds so it's not as important, although some targeted scenery bits would be cool.
