Fantastic! How much! When can I buy them? Are they resin? Plaster? I'll take 4 of each! (well, depending on the price  . From what I see you have: 1) Figure emplacement (the left round one) 2) Tank emplacement (the right, taller round one) 3) Sandbag corner piece. Can I urge you most strenuously to build: 4) A straight and/or gently curving sandbag piece that mates with 3) to create larger sandbag walls? If of course you're not already doing so! |

That's a good idea. The one at the bottom was just a try out really, but I'll give a modular system a go. They're all resin. Funnily enough, my next project, which I don't have painted yet is a three piece modular barricade set. Long medium and short barricades, with the short able to act as a corner piece. They are are corrugated iron one side and wood planks on the other. Here's two of them;  |

Those barricades look interesting but to be honest it's really sandbags I'd happy kill for  . If you have a look through the ezboard Hirst Arts forums you'll also see numerous US people requesting affordable 25-28mm sandbag sets. Most people are capable of making sandbags with minimal equipment...it's just they're so time consuming for very little effect. I'd much rather spend some hard earned cash and have the basis of an instant piece of scenery that I can dress up or simply bust out the large brush and housepaint for a quite 30 minute drybrush job. IMHO the sandbag sets should *definitely* be modular. Even to the point of being able to have some simple 'adaptor' piece that allows you to join a wall with those nifty looking emplacements. I imagine such an adaptor would basically be a 'V' shape of say 5-8 sandbags that you could just drop into the gap between an emplacement and wall. Honestly if you're going to all the trouble of making a fine, castable resin set of sandbag pieces it's really a no-brainer to make the modular. Pretty please! Any idea of cost? Or are you going to TradeMe these bad boys? I think you'd be foolish not to really because I'm sure they'd sell. |

As an aside what did you take those photos with? Some kind of FujiFilm digital camera? Those little yellow numbers seem hauntingly familiar.

Heh, well it's kinda off topic but yeah. I work in the mobile/handheld space - currently for these guys: www.snappermail.com and I used to work for www.firepad.com several years ago. Pays the bills! Keep us all posted on those resin sandbag pieces too btw, they're looking damned good. |

Can't believe you recognised the digits though ;D
I'll definately get on to modular sandbags. I've got a lot of molds to make in the near future, but when time permits I'll give it a go.

Lovely! You're selling them painted though? Any chance you'll be selling unpainted resin casts on the PitYak site at all? I'd want to paint them myself you see - my 40k forces and terrain is all desert themed.

No no, they're unpainted. Where did I give the impression they were painted?

Ummm, those TradeMe photos look painted? Surely they are?
