sci-fi walls kit - Doc goes FLATS!

Sure, they are designed to be built up for 25-30mm minis, but I do think there's plenty of application for larger-scale use as well!  I bought a set and will be printing them off and working with them once I wrap this job up.  Keep your sensors running...

(heck, if I can ever get the printer at the office to work, I'll run a couple of sheets off for a quickie set-up here, just as a proof-of-concept piece and shoot pics)

Got the office printer and my laptop talking to each other and printed out a floor section, a wall section, and two door-arches.  I'll be working on them to get them up for display soon.

That ship also looks cool Doc. I could see leaving the fron neck and nose section off to be used as a power generator or something.

Well, I wasn't expecting to get the laptop and printer to talk to each other today, so I hit the field woefully unprepared to build paper models.  That's ok, Family Dollar was glad to help out...

Here's a shot of the initial print-out of a door from the kit, designed to be folded up into a self-supporting arch, with my modified version glued and taped onto a piece of a manila folder.

So here's some shots containing an 8"x8" floor with an access panel, the modified door, and a 4" wall section.  The wall, like the door piece, is designed to fold into a self-supporting structure.  I left it flat in this test.

Forgot to add - the originals are in COLOR, but our office printer is b&w only.  If you want color from it, get crayons.  I think the pattern is a bit busy at our scale, but that can be worked with.

I'd have to look into the legality of selling them - FDG might allow me to license them, esp. if I'd be selling them mounted.  I do think I know someone local who'll be interested in getting me to do some up for her boys, tho.  Now if I made some wall and door sections and TRADED them, that's another story!

Looks great Doc, and I think trade would be the way to go.
