« Last post by Teejay75 on 11 May 2024, 16:13:12 »So how many of you who bought the Urbie LAM pack are going to paint them in the colors of your favorite Macross Valkyrie?I'm holding off on ordering the Urbie pack. I ordered the Star League pack instead. The two 40th anniversary boxes are my next priority, then I'll worry about the flying urbz.
I will be buying all the UrbanMechs. I've got heaps of Marlboro Miles and S&H Green Stamps that I've been saving for a special occasion.Dude, I remember back in the 70's, my grandma bought a TV with Green Stamps.

I do not think we can put it in on just our account settings. Although you could find a $0 item (.pdf), put in the code, get a cool .pdf and then get the funds put into the system.
It didn't have a code attached to it. I'm in no hurry so I'll probably just wait until after the kickstarter has shipped to everyone. I figure they'll have their hands full from right now til everyone on the globe has their packages in hand. And probably after that!

The Periphery / Re: Green Ghosts Faction
« Last post by Weirdo on 11 May 2024, 15:35:54 »I forget which it is, but one of the World Wide Events a few years back featured the Ghosts and had a fairly large roster for Demo Agents to build from. I think the download is available either on this site or the CGL store. (I'm giving you so much hard info, I know. :) )
As I recall, it was mostly a mix of pirate and Merc, with a noticeable amount of Blakist and Goliath Scorpion stuff mixed in.

Gaming Terrain / Re: What size warship & ship models would work best for table top?
« Last post by worktroll on 11 May 2024, 15:25:20 »Map scale, or 'Mech scale?
Map scale, the USS Nimitz class carrier (332m long), and comes out at 11 hexes long, 2 1/2 hexes wide. Which would look quite silly next to a current mini.
Mech scale, at theoretical 1:285, it's over 1m long (3'10" for USAians). 1/300 scale kits would be near enough for government work.
Then there's these:
Look for '3D puzzle aircraft carrier'. They're foamboard, easy to assemble, and probably just a little smaller than 1:285. Unfortunately I can't find the photos I took of the one I built right now.

« Last post by Weirdo on 11 May 2024, 15:23:59 »I know the two closest scales for railroad set buildings off the top of my head but . . .
. . . does anyone have experience using/kitbashing ship model kits into table top BT terrain? I was looking at some 1/350 models and was wondering . . .
1/350 stuff is pretty good, overall. It does depend on the ship your wanting to use, though. I've got a Typhoon I turned into an Argo, but needed a 1/700 model for that.
A 1/350 *Kuznetsov* is exactly the right length for a Luftenburg.
Only partially related, but multiple model companies (my favorite is Trumpeter) make 1/350 aircraft for adding to carrier models, and those are often the PERFECT size to make conventional fighters or support aircraft.
