We have some very useful bits and pieces for the 28mm scratchbuilder today. It’s a series of handy components such as doors, windows, aircon units etc, variously cast in resin, metal or 3D printed. These can be used to dress up household objects such as small storage boxes, electrical junction boxes, even bits of polystyrene packages or guttering and turn them into sci-fi buildings. They can also be used to embellish commercial MDF buildings, maybe turning a middle-eastern house into a dwelling more likely to be seen on Tatooine or Arrakis.<\/p>\n

We’ve built a couple of examples to give you an idea (since this is more interesting than just looking at the pieces in isolation). The first started off as a small fold-up storage crate – this example was found in a shop in Calais, but we’ve seen identical ones in the local branch of The Range here in the UK. We’ve given it a roof (a piece of Foamex with some plastic strips), added a door front and back and given it several windows, two of which hide the carrying holes at either end. There’s a ladder for access to the roof, which has a couple of ventilation units and a radar (this is taken from our 6mm Moonbase<\/a> range). The base of the crate is just the right height for a set of our steps to lead up to the doors. A CCTV camera watches the front door, while several other junction boxes, vents and bulkhead lights adorn the walls.<\/p>\n
