And I still want to buy some 15mm fantasy minis to spice up my D&D games, too!<br /><br />Ahhh...

I have a full set of the pre-fabs plus a 'colony' star base - to be mixed and matched as appropriate.<br /><br />I would suggest you don't discard your shanties - IMO the GZG models are too Kirsty Allsop 'des res' to be mere shanties. <br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-77102017821507028642010-03-07T18:59:50.700+00:002010-03-07T18:59:50.700+00:00My colony layouts tend to involve picking two or t...My colony layouts tend to involve picking two or three building styles and dividing the board between them. With stupid names! District 9 is the shanty town (due to be scrapped and replaced by GZG's buildings and others, as mine are terrible), Pallet Town for the containers and warehousing areas (where delinquent youth force alien pets to fight each other?), with chain-link fences around clusters of crates and containers, Hadley's Hope for GZG's colony buildings...<br />I don't have an advanced sector with bigger, fancier buildings and working street lights yet, but I'm thinking of making one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-47704547936270430372010-03-07T18:56:12.011+00:002010-03-07T18:56:12.011+00:00Looks excellent, Mark - I'm looking forward to...Looks excellent, Mark - I'm looking forward to seeing the results when you start to get it all painted....Jon (GZG)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-39089494352826425582010-03-07T17:54:25.668+00:002010-03-07T17:54:25.668+00:00The future is corrugated!

Keep us posted!<br /><br />Maybe you can make a large, permanently-grounded Dropship that has the government centers bolted to its outer hull. Kinda like a Niven story.
