Production is at a standstill at the moment, so, what are all the possible materials possible?
We know:
Styrene
Stickers
Plasticard
Cardstock
Any others?
EDIT: Added cardstock, changed plasticard's spelling.

Cardstock is an option.
The overall quality and durablity would obviously be much lower than what we're used to, but on the other hand it would be cheaper and much more readily available than styrene or plastic.

Cardstock isn't the same as plasticard, right? In that case, I'll add it to the list.

It's obviously not an ideal solution, but it does have the advantage of being one of the most inexpensive. I'm not familiar with plasticard, but I think someone mentioned that it's similar to the material that was used for the clear Super-Rares from DJC and PotC. |

Fascinating, I didn't know that there was clear plasticard.
I'm somewhat familiar with plasticard as sometimes play Warhammer, and let me say that people have constructed some crazy stuff with plasticard, so I'm not doubting its resilience.

no, the resilience isn't the problem for me...its the fact that we can't get our Behemoths and Mist-Walkers to stay together around here...if its more like the Black Pearl, I'd say that'd be ok...a bit more flexible, but still has the strength to stay together.

OK here's an idea for stickers, think of this as a prototype set. Don't have to carry on with it. As I know stickers are not idea. But it's a start, and a chance to get something into production. First off, you can use "Trumps card game" as the format for the deckplates and crew. So....all you do is customize you trump deck. Instead of pictures of cars, you have a picture of a ship. Instead of car stats you have the ship stats. One ship deckplate......job done. For the ships, we can use the "sticker sheet" to create the artwork for the ship. It does say........"upload pictures of anyone or anything you like - then cut them out using the online editor. To create your stickers, simply drop a cutout onto a digital sticker "sheet" then scale, rotate and move them around as much as you like". And Bob's our uncle you then have sticky masts and a sticky hull to put over that unused ship. What could be harder? www.trumperama.co.uk/index.asp |
