Hi, I am looking for contributors to our site www.ToyCollector.com that like to add blog entries, forum posts, gallery images, videos or announcements on...
Hiya Guys. I just wondered, hadn't seen anything for Aeons (long word for a weekend!) Just as a talking point, I am currently doing the ultimate Ultracheap...
I'd gladly look, Ian. I admit that I've gone that route before myself, with huge success, about six years ago. I have about 30 buildings in 54mm that are all...
I have hoped this dicussion would come up, I have been looking around at different building systems. If you are into Micro Armor (1/258th) scale, Lego's are...
Hail to the hive mind!!! I'm looking for opinions. I'm knocking around an idea for a campaign at a convention next year: planetary assault using Full Thrust ...
I would not use a cheap display at a convention, of the conventions I attend most have a full complement of minis. Scale back to a game you have the minis and...
Here you go, Jim. In the files under !Ian's castle". I did the same thing you mention ages ago, too; made a fantasy Wizard's Tower in polystyrene tile and...
I usually use "Micro Machines" to run "Star Fleet Battles", FASA "Star Trek STCS", "Star Wars Miniature Battles" (West End Games), and a set of home brew rules...
I have gone the homemade spaceship route, with what I will call a reserved reaction from gamers at cons. I generally am a historical gamer, though. You may do...
ACK! Ian, you called my bluff. Now I have to photograph and post my 54 mm buildings... The castle is nicely done,and I like the modular quality. Jim...
I agree that a 'cheap' display at a convention is a "no-no", unless you like running a game with few to no players. However, there's no reason that you can't...
I think a Cheap-Minis workshop should be quite interesting, actually. Few can usually afford every set or single mini they desire, but creative ways to use...
At one time I had toyed with the idea of creating two starship fleets, one using gatorade bottles (20 oz and 64 oz) and the other Pepsi Bottles (2 oz and...
Toys `R Us has the two different "The Golden Compass" air vehicles on sale (at least here locally) for $1.00, marked down to $0.80 for each set. (Yes, that's...
You can look at my star wars cardboard star destroyer in the photo section. I ran a big game with four of these babies and about 50 tie fighters and x-wings...
Hi Kerry, That was one of my projects too, I went to Germany a few months ago and got hold of quite a bit of cheap Lego at a Fleamarket, it is bigger in...
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm probably different from most folks (I just want to play!) It looks like the secret is going to be making the minis and...
On a closing note (for me, anyway), I encourage you. The great thing about future/scifi stuff is that you can decide the rules--purple plants, no problem. two...
I've been collecting parts and pieces from broken computers for a while intending to make rubble piles for sci-fi skirmish. I've glued a few together but they...
I would add my absolute favorite cheap but fantastic multipurpose item - paintable caulk. That stuff rocks. I use it for any and everything. Adhesive latex...
Hello All, Here’s the first update for Peninsula Campaigns 2008: We’ve already got some dealers coming in. Dean Rapp from Battlefield Creations will be ...
I took a peek at those buiklding and thetre are some nice ones in there. I believe they are intended fo BattleTech games; that would make them 6mm scale? I...
