In the meantime, here's another installment of Plasticrack - cybernetic geometry the continuing voyages.
There's even some 'enhanced' imagery.
Above: A hapless Sutherland is ambushed by an Obelisk. "Resistance, as it always has been, is futile." Sutherland fires a fullspread in the rearward arc, hoping to knock out the Obelisk's engines long enough to reach the board edge.
Above: A W.I.P group shot of gen1 techno-geometry, courtesy of a Velleman k8200. That cubeish thing? Its actually a tesseract, with magnets/ferrous materials holding it together. At the time this image was taken, the glues were setting and so an elastic band has to hold them all together to ensure proper drying. The cube is slightly larger than a tactical cube from a popular boardgame presently out there. The idea is that this fusion cube can break up into 'Multi-Vector Assimilation Mode" and there are a few scenarios for it that yours truly has made to compliment it.
The sphere also shown costs about $3.80USD at cost price, a little more for a painted and 'tactical'd' variant as shown. The sphere same size as other spherical things on market.
Above: Sutherland for scale with Obelisk (type 1) and Scout Fusion Tesseract
Above: Scout Fusion Tesseract in its 7 constituent components. Each Pyramid is in terms of gameplay, roughly worth 2 spheres. The scout cube (MM) in terms of gameplay, is slightly weaker than the Interceptor (so, easily dispatched by an oberth and miranda)
Above: Tesseract shown with a pyramid missing (the vehicle can dissassemble and reassemble at will, provided 4 of the pyramids and the core scout cube are above half health...).
Sutherland unfortunately did not escape the pursuing Obelisk; A.Vessel#948-7612 is being salvaged and enhanced at Regional Nexus Node #4598759.
Above: Another group of tetrahedrons for a client;these ones are some of the finest yet (if I do say so myself)! Email or contact me to get yours secured today.
You'll notice the photoetched parts, which were donated from a recent swap meet - so many modelmakers have spare sprue that they'll sell for cents or donate at freebie tables at conventions or swap meets, and sadly many aviation model makers never use their undercarriages or missiles. Luckily, those parts can be used to cybernetic-ify your geometries!
So, thats it for this installment;
many thanks to everyone that's ordered their geometries
- I hope the geometry brings much fun and something different affordably to your game tables!
Thankyou for your concrit and feedback on enhancing the geometry.
I'm flabbergasted at how many nations they've been sent to now - 9 and counting
That tells me that people really like their geometry.
Polychora and irregular shapes, all that sort of stuff. Its great!
I hope to get to a position where I can start to develop lazer printed componentry within the next 5 years - at this time, a pipedream, but one which would be awesome to realise.
Why? It would mean better resolution stuff, at negligible cost increase, and importantly...
CURVED GEOMETRY = ) (oval shaped saucer-y geometries)
at present, it is very difficult to produce nice-finished curved geometry at home with the k8200 and other systems.
It would also mean I would be able to bring POP bases to market much more effectively, enhancing recycling and the final finish of many multi-media models. That alone makes lazer printing and in-home lazer cutter parts worth looking into.
