TT Combats Sci Fi scenics

The guys over at the The Troll Trader have sent me a few samples of their new Sci Fi terrain currently doing very well on Kickstarter. They've already had a succesful Wild west themed terrain kickstarter and i was looking forward to the day they'd get stuck into Sci Fi as i can always do with some more scenery for Infinity :)

So; I thought i'd do a little review of each of the pieces they sent me to give you guys a feel for what the range is like.

To start with i had a go assembling the Shipping Containers, They come in packs of 5 for £10 which seems very reasonable.

This is the basic layout of the containers on the sheet. 

Construction is pretty straight forward, Its a simple matter of slotting the four walls together and then attaching the floor of the container to the walls. After that you insert the inner walls/doors. One of the doors is laser cut so you can have it open if you wish. Last step is to insert the roof of the container. As you can see in the picture below the roof/floor attaches to the rest of the structure via the corner fixtures. Also notice how the shape of the frame interlocks with other crate, a nice touch. The only niggle i found with the kit is that some of the laser cut detail is a little wiggly in places but it's hard to spot unless your nose to nose with it.

  
I highly reccomend not glueing in the roof as its nice to be able to place models inside, especially in Infinity games.

The containers look good in numbers, They don't sit flush together side by side due to their shape and it creates some interesting lines of fire.

If you stack them up side ways you get a nice solid block of them, when set like this i can't help be reminded of some sort of holding cell for a nasty alien or maybe those holding cages for raptors from the start of Jurassic Park :)

I toyed around with the structure a bit and noticed you can make some pretty cool little look outs by not putting the inner walls in. It's nice that the kit gives you some options to think about instead of just one way you have to build it.

Overall, I've been very impressed with the kit, at £10 for 5 your getting alot for your money IMO. These are not just simple rectangles and have some nice details. Build wise this is probably the easiest MDF kit i've put together and you can literally build one of these in minutes.

If you dream of your own shipping container board, or are looking for some decent scatter terrain then i highly recommend.
