Seeing the open window mock ups, I'm even more on the side of filled in windows. Open ones will have to have a sheet of something glued on the inside to not look like a toy. But again, it would be a lot easier to do that than cut out the windows if they were filled. If you do do open windows, then you have it right and you'll either need to do 3 walls and 1 roof per sprue, or have a generic roof sprue that comes with every 4 wall sprues. |

Exactly. As stated above. Or made into ruins, which cannot really be done convincingly with filled ins. I keep pondering the rational here. Positive with filled in="looks good"+"different design theme on either side" Negative with filled in=Looks naff if you don't paint windows. Painting windows take time. Positive with cut out=no need to paint, just glue a sheet of nicely colored plastics or whatever on inside. (Honestly, I did not come up with that idea just now), looks better when "ruined" Negative with cut out="looks naff"+limited scope of variation on back/front People will likely make up their minds based on a mix of time, abilities and esthetic demands. |

Ruins, that can be a stretch goal? Could likely get 8 ruin chunks onto a sprue, of various sizes... I did ruined pieces when I did Mantic's terrain as well as complete tiles, it wouldn't be tough to do using this system. |

Mkay! I just thought I'd spare you the trouble by smashing, creatively and tastefully, those perforated wall sections myself... |

I may have to modify suggested designs to work with the plastics production process. Will try to send some sketches. Im a bit tied up atm moving house. Whats your timeframe for finalising designs? Got to say, the latest set of renders are looking much better - proportions are more slender which works well. And the panels stack surprisingly well. The mini buttresses are good too - bigger independent ones would be good! For the mullions in the windows I would personally look to something like this : http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/shop/imag ... 00x500.jpg Window heads tend to be fractal - ie. made up of 2 or more smaller arches of similar proportion, sometimes with a unique icon centrally at the top. Obviously they can be very elaborate, but i guess you are restricted on tooling(?). You could use similar club motifs over the left over spaces over the door (rather than the squashed window head) like this : http://bestscreenwallpaper.pro/wp-conte ... page12.jpg Repeated arches around the door might help to bring the scale down a little more : https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/gothic- ... 270596.jpg And a rose window panel would be great! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/23 ... 4661c0.jpg Stretch goal ?? :-) On the right track though!

Oh, and how about more of a parapet on the roof edges? Gothic ones be like : http://www.norwich-churches.org/Glossar ... Palace.jpg ?? Posted using Tapatalk |

Quite restricted yes; the smallest drill bit I have access to here is 0.5mm, and that means a lot of angles need to be slightly rounded off. Quote: And a rose window panel would be great! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/23 ... 4661c0.jpg Stretch goal ?? :-) That's a cool design, but not suitable for an initial set I think, or even the first wave of stretch goals. My current thought is, if we go back to filled-in style: Goal 1 - Basic Mixed Sprue - 2x Gothic, 2x Cyberhive Goal 2 - Cyberhive Stretch Goal - 2x Cyberhive panels re-used from the Mixed Sprue, 2x new Cyberhive panels Goal 3 - Gothic Stretch Goal - 2x Gothic panels re-used from the Mixed Sprue, 2x new Gothic panels Goal 4 - Ruins? Skinner semi-ruined industrial panels? Art deco? Modern residential? |

Don't think that'll go on the basic panels fittingly, as it'd be repeated at the top of each panel for tall buildings. Could easily be done as metal add-ons though. |

Skinner semi-ruined industrial panels? Art deco? Modern residential? Never try to force a craftsman to do stuff your way. I really enjoyed the look of the cut out windows you showed earlier on. That would have been something entirely new and exciting to me. But if you don't want to or see the spiffyness, well, then that's it I suppose. Your arguments are valid and it seems there are several ppl who are willing to paint windows or don't care about not doing it. By the looks of it, the hive design follows the old Necromunda bulkhead pattern well enough and that means you don't really have to paint the windows on that one, so I might purchase anyhow. Seeing as you are heavily leaning towards filled in tiles, ruins is probably a good idea. Art deco would perhaps work for use in dropzone, which is a clever way to broaden your base. OTH, I would much prefer some variant of brutalist industrial design theme. |

I don't mind that comparison. :-) That kind of industrial style hasn't really been done before, and I think it would offer something cool & different. There would definitely be a lot of "negative space" on this style ; please feel free to make suggestions on types of tile you'd like to see. The current WIP design is by no means final. |

New WIP tiles incorporating some of the suggested design features... thoughts? I've moved the ladder on the Cyberhive tile to the centreline so you can get 4 different visuals out of the 2 tiles by turning the tile upside down... could also do with a bit more variety in the Cyberhive tiles, need mindfood ideas here.

Novan and Cybershadows buildings on a single sprue would work, keep the skinnerz separate though. Its one of the main critiques ive heard regarding the infantry sprue you did. |
