Proxie Models Plastics. Miniatures and Terrain - Pic Heavy

[Gav99]

Hey guys. I'm so glad to see we now have a truely open forum to be able to show off what's avaliable. Flavor always makes a game better and it's kinda bland to only have MAS stuff. Our new plastics, along with our friend's creations and bases of all sizes, are avaliable at his webstore at:

Proxie Models Webstore - 28mm Terrain

Well we've been pretty busy over the last few months since we were al blacked out. We have a bunch more designs, our second mold is about to be produced, and unfortunately we're sold out of bus stops for now (we have version 2 designed and it looks way better than version 1)

Ok on to some renderings:

Let's start with something known. This is our original soda machine (we still have some of the resin prints avaliable if anyone still wants them, still at the same price of $2 each)



Here's a few photos of the currently avaliable plastic Assault Drop Barrier. They come in a pack of 6 and cost $7 a pack. They're avaliable through myself for someone wanting to buy resin pieces at the same time, or avaliable on the Proxie Model website.

[Gav99]

Putting several posts up at once to split things out a little so it's easier to follow than one big block.

So next we have what was avaliable on the official site untill we were all deleted.
It's a priority mail small flat rate box of Scenery. The box set was $40 shipped to the US and used to contain a bus stop but unfortunately we sold out of the bus stops. The current box set contains 2 sets of walls (12 total), 2 sets of 3 vending machines (6 total), 3 small crates, 2 large crates, and 2 huge Bio-crates. Including shipping (in the priority mail box) to US destinations is a flat $36, to Canada it's $50, and the rest of the world at $54. (unfortunately due to Jan 27th USPS insane price rises I had to increase the shipping cost) These box sets are only avaliable through me, and not at Proxie Models (these are mainly our resin pieces). But all our plastics, and Proxie Model's items are avaliable in his webstore.



Here's the A-la-carte menu for single pieces to add in, buy seperately, or swap out items from the box set for equally priced items:

Vending Machine 1 (Tallest) $2
Vending Machine 2 $2
Soda Machine $2
Plastic Assault Drop Barriers (x6) $7
Bio-crates $1.25
Large crates $0.75
Small crates $0.50
Fire Hydrant $1.25

Generally I can fit another 2 or 3 extra sets in the priority box, so no additional shipping charges. At a push I can probably fit 4-5 but then I have to de-bag and de-sprue the assault drop walls.

Here's a few bigger pics of the items:

They look very nice. will the scatter terrain (vending machines) remain resin or will you produce them in plastic down the line? How are people supposed to place orders with you?

[Gav99]

And onto our next mold (that will be avaliable soon)

Here are some of the prototypes that, right now, are the pieces going into the sprue. We can fit about 4 pieces onto a sprue so we're looking at 2 vending machines, an ATM/console with optional keyboard to "low-tech" it, and a fire hydrant (or possibly a 3rd vending machine if we can fit it). We're looking at about $6 per sprue (for all 4 pieces) which isn't too bad for the sizes and quality of the pieces.

Here are the rendered prototypes.

Vending machine


Soda Machine


Touch Screen ATM/Console. There will be an optional keyboard on the sprue to attach.


And the Fire Hydrant


These will be avaliable very soon. The cold weather is causing some slow-down due to syrupy oil, but we are up right after he finishes up his major order to the UK.

Well some pieces will only be avaliable in resin as we're doing several re-designs and updates that we couldn't accomplish from making plasticard masters. CAD really is a wonderful tool. The majority though will be heading into plastic, it will just take some time to get them produced. Our friend that runs Proxie Models gets alot of business for his bases (thousands at a time all over the world) so we have to play with his time-scale, and of course the weather (extreme cold or heat = bad).

For now the plastic drop barriers are avaliable through Proxie Models, but anything resin is still avaliable through me untill we run out. I can get ahold of the plastic drop barriers to ship with the box sets at the same cost as sold for on Proxie Models so that it dosn't cost extra shipping from him. I can take orders via PM or email and we can sort out paypal transactions from there. It's always a bit of a risk buying anything from anyone via PMs, etc, but I have a flawless track record on DakkaDakka and used to on the official forums untill it was deleted. If anyone needs the benefit of perfect buyer protection then I can throw a set up on Ebay, though it will increase the price to cover the fees.

It is so awesome to have so many options for terrain again on the forums!!!!!

[Gav99]

Well we're glad to be part of the flavor of so many player's game. We have loads of new stuff planned, and several really cool pieces in the works, and if the vending machine / ATM sprue sells well then we can get our new stuff on here even faster.

Here's a bit of a sneak peak of a couple:



Bus shelter mk2



Defencive Drop Barrier (DDB) - Edge walls are the same as the Assault Drop Barrier we currently make and the middle can hide a regular trooper easily

And now introducing:


The DDB's big brother, the Full Drop Barrier (FDB). This "wall" is above the head-line of infantry providing full blocking cover.

[kidterminal]

I like the bus shelter. Too bad you guys aren't making the curved roof one any more.

[Gav99]

Curved roof one? The last one we made had a flat top with an angled flat piece down the back. The whole thing was a bit square looking for my tastes and not much in the way of sci-fi. This design really takes the bus shelter to a whole new level, with a 3 piece angular roof with tracked detail, angled side walls and that "hex" feel to the whole thing really makes it feel more in-tune with it's aesthetical purpose.

Edit: Oh and unfortunately the render dosn't show it, but the panel at the bottom of the walls sweeps back upward to the roof at the near side. Really gives you something nice to paint with all the detail. My original of this was made from a cereal packet and elmers glue lol. It's all I had avaliable when the muse struck me.

[kidterminal]

I think it was the first one you made way back when you where building things for your table. I like this on too.

[Gav99]

Well, we still are building things for our own table lol. Everything we're making is designed based on what we want to see on our table, mixed with a little bit of outside influences. I think from our resin stuff we've kept 5 bus shelters, 100 crates, 30 vending machines (10 of each), and about 60 ADBs (all painted in different army colors to fit differently themed tables) for ourselves. The rest (I think we have like 35 vending machines, 70-odd ADBs in resin, and about 40-60 of each crate left) is the last of our resin that's still avaliable, and once it's gone... it's gone. We could make more, but resin is so expencive and time consuming over plastic injection molding. The only difference is the initial cost is alot higher but once the mold is made it's just paying off the initial investment and then profit is worthwhile.

[kidterminal]

I'm sure you'll sell out soon. We are starting to advertise this forum now.

[Gav99]

Funny enough you should say that... We just sold out of the resin vending machines and the fire hydrant. So for the moment we're sold out of box sets, though you can still make your own from the a-la-carte menu.

We still have a handful of each crate, loads of soda machines, and an infinite supply of plastic ADBs.

[kidterminal]

I told you.

[iron panda]

This is awesome! When will the full drop barrier be available on the website?

[Oreet]

Having seen most of this terrain in person, I can say that they look great, and work wonderfully for the game.

Full disclosure though, I am friends with Gav in real life, and we play Infinity together, but that doesn't change my opinion on the quality of his stuff.

[Gav99]

This is awesome! When will the full drop barrier be available on the website?

We're working on that currently, we'll be having a mold made very shortly and we're still coming to a final decission on what to have made.

Thanks Oreet, now here's your freebies... lol j/k. I appreciate your post though, even with potential bias lol.

Well on to new things. Proxie Models just released a new 28mm plastic modular building (crude paintjob on the site... we'll fix that when we get ahold of one). It's somewhat industrial but should work well for Paradiso tables and Ariadna. Now this wasn't designed or made by myself and my friend, but figured I'd post it anyway to let you guys know there's more cheap stuff avaliable for infinity.



Can see it on his webstore at:
Proxie Models - 28mm Building

[kidterminal]

Are you joking with that price I can see a use for that little building. I see what you mean about the paint job though.

[Gav99]

What do you mean by joking about the price? Too high / low? We don't set the prices lol, and we had nothing to do with the building.

Once we get a couple of copies for our own table I'll post a painted pic of one we did to show off all the detail and some of the construction options. It's made so you can build any height and length you like, just keep sticking walls together. The floors / ceilings can be glued together but left seperate from the walls so you can lift up each floor level individually. Though if you build large buildings you may need a little support under the flooring towards the middle to keep it sturdy (or make sure to pin it all tightly with thick pinning in at least 3 places).

[kidterminal]

What do you mean by joking about the price? Too high / low? We don't set the prices lol, and we had nothing to do with the building.

For me that's a great price.

[Gav99]

Well our friend will be glad to hear that. That's what he aims for with all his stuff: great products, completely American made, and very affordable. He's an ex-GW player also that got sick of the prices getting so high so he started his own business for that very reason.

Now that his building's finished, we're now 1 more step up the queue so we should have some exciting news very soon.

[Lampyridae]

The building appears to be just under 4 inches on a side. That's reasonable. It would be nice to see larger ones that come out.

[Gav99]

As soon as I can get round to his place (probably next week) I should be able to grab a few kits and show what one looks like with multiple parts. I'm probably just going to make a 1story (I'm not a big believer in making big buildings to be sniper nests) but it'll give the idea of how it all strings together.
