Now much of what I'm after will hopefully be arriving later this month when the Battle Systems Sci-Fi terrain sets are released. But that does not preclude me wanting similar items from you. Chairs, tables, cupboards, control panels, computer screens and of course, toilets (does anyone make sci-fi toilets?) will always be welcomed by me. I will e-mail you with a long list after I receive my Kickstarter package from Battle Systems.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-55876475872709369292017-08-09T18:46:34.656+01:002017-08-09T18:46:34.656+01:00funny you should mention interior pieces as I have...funny you should mention interior pieces as I have had a few ideas kicking around for a while, but if you have specifics send me a EMAIL MATE WITH YOUR IDEAS i'LL ADD THEM TO THE POOL. aS A HINT ONE IS A HOLOGRAPHIC TABLE WITH A HEAD BEING DISPLAYED ABOVE IN TRANSLUCENT RESIN Dave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-43592689067755985602017-08-09T16:17:05.118+01:002017-08-09T16:17:05.118+01:00Much obliged, Simon.

I had read of the problems with the Mongoose Games version, which is why I waited so long to buy mine. <br /><br />As a massive Judge Dredd fanboy, I had no qualms in paying what I did for it. Plus, because I placed such a large order with Warlord Games at the time, they kindly sent me some Judge Dredd related freebies as a thank you.<br /><br />Andy and Dave (especially) are great at coming up with ideas I wouldn't have thought of. They are certainly worth chatting with and I've no doubt that Dave could help with your own "Metamorphosis Alpha" project.

Albeit I note you got this one from "Warlord Games" rather than "Mongoose Games" - whose quality control for these beasts soon became sadly infamous.<br /><br />As others have said, that is a serious chunk of dough you've paid out, but knowing of your great love for "Judge Dredd", and the enthusiasm this post clearly shows you have for the vehicle, then its been money very well spent, imho.<br /><br />Giving Dave and Andy ideas about future projects etc isn't something I condone however, as those two are seriously distracting me from my own projects with their scenic castings and postings. A serious of space-vehicle accessories certainly wouldn't go amiss for my "Metamorphosis Alpha" campaign though, Dave, and might kill a few birds with one Stone ;-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-76199547861727613842017-08-09T15:12:26.067+01:002017-08-09T15:12:26.067+01:00Wow that is a monster!! really impressive piece of...Wow that is a monster!! really impressive piece of work on the painting too. looking at the shape of it you could probably make a 3D "map" of the interior with card (like a posh cardboard box really), would make for a great scenario, taking back a stolen Manta "Can you see me Toecutter!!!".<br /><br />Cheers Roger.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-21475358828341846852017-08-09T14:00:09.450+01:002017-08-09T14:00:09.450+01:00My blog would be a much poorer place without the w...My blog would be a much poorer place without the wonderful input from you both.

No way can 10 Space Marines fit in the back of one of them! As for playing a game in a Manta Prowl Tank, that's a great suggestion and it could be done with a true 28mm scale floor map.
