1/12 Diorama/Terrain/Props/Vehicles

[RichardSimmonsRobot]

My $200 segmented sewer diorama for TMNT is on the slow boat from China according to BBTS. Was originally going to use the FuryToys miniature turtles, but I think the MetyToyz TMNT turtles will get more use out of it, since they actually come out with more than 1 turtle every 1.5 years.

One of my favorite D&D YouTubers tavern-ified (totally a verb) a classic Barbie Dreamhouse. Thought this might be of interest to you fine fellows.

Her video came up suggested for me yesterday and I gave it a watch.
I enjoyed it.
It was quite the job to cover all that pink plastic.

White paint usually has terrible coverage (and yellow)

sirdork just posted a video looking at a set from this 1/12 scale gym set KS.

The main version is stainless steel, but they are offering an ABS version, as well as a 1/18 and 1/6 scale version.

Picked this up at the Action Figure Con last weekend in TO. Byte Sized Legends had an entire catalog of accurate cabinets. Sadly no six player X-Men or MVC. But I'm going back for the Street Fighter and maybe DK. Something classic?

Oh man, they should have the flat Pac-Man that was always at Pizza Hut.

I don't think I've ever seen pinball tables done like this. I would love one.

Anyway, I threw these figures in so you can get a sense of scale. I suppose Lucy is small for a McFarlane but you all are 6-in kids anyway.

It was 30 Canuck at the show which is 20 for my anti fascists down south. I think they're 50 moose on his website.

I really like the quality. My only criticism is that I wish alternate sticker options for the screens. I'm sure I've seen fancier ones where you could even slide in different cels.

But for the price and the immediate play Factor I had on my desk here?

Solid.

Nice.

I got these a few years ago. They are wired with LEDs that are USB powered. They also have 2 interchangable screens.

I can just hear that Turtles cabinet.

Extreme-sets are fun but wish they’d make an interior roof with rafters for their warehouse. Many great comics have heroes stalking the goons from the rafters after they break in through a skylight.

Also would like a simple glass and steel skyscraper module you could stack to make a taller building.

Speaking my language. That feels like the kind of thing we might get from Fext eventually? I have some of their modular stairwell and Public Estate pieces. Skyscraper would be perfect for them.

I have a 1:12 Joust cabinet from an Etsy seller way back (I'll have to look up my account history and see if I can find the seller again) and a Galaga one that was actually an official Namco release. It's not a playable one, just a replica. I really could use a Simpsons one and a Street Fighter II.

Gonna mention the Super Action Stuff arcades again, simply because I'm still pretty proud of the art I did for the skin and screen clings on this one. I promise I'll shut up about them eventually (I've already been paid for the work so not trying to hit anybody up for cash, I just had fun on this project)/

Could not find “fext” - who are they? I assume they make display pieces

Fext Hobby. The items on their site are sold out, but BBTS had some at some point. I have a subway car they did, as well as 3 jail cells I have yet to put together, but will be used with many lines.

I have a subway car they did,

How is that one? I had a worry that it would be on the small side for ML but I was tempted.

 

[SalemCrow]

It's pretty good.

Can be a little fiddly putting it together, but looks nice when all is said and done.

I might keep an eye out for a second one to combine into a more complete subway car, at some point.
