Just an idea ?

Post by flyboy_fx » Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:43 pm

Hay all
I can make some Really good buildings in 1/18 scale for pretty cheap. (maybe $30 AT THE MOST).
And that would get you a fairly big house.
They would look like the ones in reds dios
.
They would be made out of blue foam board, but would be solid. I heat up the outside to crisp it thus making it harder and more ridged. I am not supper good at making them look "NEW" but i can make the look battle worn and really realistic. just teasing i can make good intact ones. For a little extra I would include custom furniture :wink:.
they feel light but look great in dios

Would any one be interested?
I can post some pics if you want.

here are some of my 2D models, it is just the font panel to save room on my shelve but i also make 3D structures, and some battle field stuff, but im sure you guys can make them. And trust me I give fair prices. right now its just an estimate. it will probably be lower, maybe around $17-$25 for one. not sure yet.

PS when they are done they dont feel very foamy, they feel like super light plastic.

Those don't look bad at all. It's just a shame about that scale... 1:32 is where it's at!
