Stuff like this and this and this perhaps? Good point about the variety of figures too, I'll be sure to throw in a few of the other figures too. They don't all have to be the standard featureless smiley-face that's used in game, there are other generic faces, like the sunglasses one or the mustache one. At the moment I have nearly 20, so they're slowly running out of Oxygen. Also, if I have enough money, I'll aim to get a Support Station for every 10 Rock Raiders. Yeah, I'd thought about getting loads of Sparks, I think I might now Although if I did, should I replace their heads with generic faces like they are in the game? Unless that's a silly idea. I'm using both official sets and in-game ones, as I said earlier I do already have the Tool Store, Support Station and Power Station. Most of them should be, as the generic units you use in-game are based off him, but if you look closely in the cutscenes you can see duplicate Docs walking by, and maybe others.īut yes, build yourself an army of minifigures using Rock Raider bodies and generic heads. Just don't keep the original head.Īlso they don't have to all be Sparks either.
At the moment I have nearly 20, so they're slowly running out of Oxygen.Yes, you should replace the heads. *Does anyone with knowledge know whether an Acrylic (Perspex) sheet 3mm thick is suitable for a sheet that will be almost 1 metre long and wide? Once finished, I'll definitely be posting photos here. It's my birthday soon (whoopee) so I'll be able to purchase it all in one go. So, to sum it up, my plan is to paint up a rock-style gaming mat and place the LEGO on top, surrounding it in plastic sheets. That's when I found The Plastic Man! Their plastic seems cheap*, so I figured I'd purchase a simple clear plastic sheet and pin it in front of the display. However, I still had the problem of a window to encase it. As it's made from latex rubber, the LEGO models will grip nicely and shouldn't jog about.
So I figured I'd get one of these and slot it into the space I have, creating a nice base for my models. It actually comes unpainted so I can change the look a little. They produce nice roll-out 3D mats, and one of theirs is perfect for a Rock Raiders cavern setting - the Sulfur Fields gaming mat: The space I'm using is actually on the shelf above that shelf, but it's pretty cluttered at the moment.īeing a wargamer, I found out about a gaming mat stockist called Zuzzy. I'm rather excited so I thought I'd share my idea, because hey, that's what forums are forīasically I have a fairly large space to fill, which you can see below: Well, I am now ready to make the Rock Raiders diorama, and have worked out how I'm going to display it.
I also posted a topic asking about >display cases. One of those was to make a Rock Raiders diorama, using the sets I've accumulated over time (I now have the Tool Store, Support Station and Power Station, as well as all the official sets). A little while ago I mentioned some >diorama plans I had.
