Latest Terrain from Demo’s Laser-Cut Designs
October 10, 2011 by dracs
Demo's Laser-Cut Designs have some new building pieces to help you establish a table of towering city blocks. Take a look.
these would probably be useful in setting up an epic city to wage war across. With a little conversion work, for example, they could make a brilliant urban environment for Infinity.
So guys what are your thoughts on these? Do you think you could put them to good use?
One thing that has disappointed me with the slew of laser cut terrain that is coming out, and that is the cost.
I admit to being a wad tighter than a camel’s bum in a sandstorm, but I was expecting them to offer a cheap alternative way of getting buildings.
I realise the guys need to make it pay so I assume there is something about the process I am missing?
Yes. The process involves getting as much cash out of hobbyists as possible for what are in effect SMALL THIN WOODEN BOXES, with little detail. But seriously, my gaming buddy dropped 60 GBP on 3 sets of the 3 tier antenocity housing blocks recently and to a certain extent I could see why, they have a lot of surface detail etched into the wood and removable windows and doors etc and a certain architectural aesthetic.
These ones pictured here look bland and uninteresting. That’s my honest opinion.
The micro art studios ones look much nicer, but I suppose these ones will be easier to decorate to a theme since they’re so plain.
Time is money. For around 30 USD a pop they shouldn’t need to be modded up. That’s like buying a blank canvas to paint on at the same price as a quality detailed painting. perhaps a bad comparison but you get my thinking I hope. Not really a great sales/marketing pitch: It’s plain and boring.
If one of the bigger games companies brought out scenery this bland at this price…
Not my cup of tea.
