Terrain for FOG - would like opinion

[list_lurker]

Hi, I'd just like to post here for opinion. I'm just going through the prototype stage in making some 15mm terrain for FOG for resale. I'd just like hear if you think if this is a good idea.. or whether the product is not up to scratch. Any constructive critiscism is valued.

All terrain is pre-painted complete with MDF footprint that stays on the table while the terrain is 'moveable'

Roman Villa (for BUA)

Slightly under scale 10mm/12mm but seems to work from a visual perspective. Suitable for any western countryside from 1st-4th C





Plantation



Vineyard



Open field (double size - interlocking 1 FE sized)



Enclosed Fields


I'm thinking of selling per set - so developed terrain set with 4 open fields, 3 enclosed 1 villa etc etc
Maybe per item to?

Thoughts? good idea?

thanks

I think these look promising, I particularly like the look of the open fields, and the idea of creating features of variable size by interlocking parts. I do think though that the bases of the vines/plantation trees look too bulky. Are the hedges on the enclosed fields removable? If so that would make them usable as open or closed, perhaps not so good from your point of view but less to carry for the customer!

My next consideration would be resilience and portability. I need to transport my terrain to the club each week and around the country for tournaments. If I just put all the bits in a box are they going to get battered, or do I need to have a bulky system to keep all of the parts separate? Base pieces with multiple uses add to the practicality here.

And then of course there's the pricing. Buying a terrain type set might be attractive if it provides some discount, but there's sufficient overlaps between types (e.g. Agricultural and Developed) that being able to buy individual bits as well is essential.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Those look nice. I would think you would have a good chance of selling them.

Are the hedges on the enclosed fields removable?

yes, all designed to move around while the terrain footprint stays there. Been doing it for years now and seems to do the trick.

If I just put all the bits in a box are they going to get battered, or do I need to have a bulky system to keep all of the parts separate

They are all designed to fit in a 'really useful box' which seem to be de rigueur for most terrain storage/transportation (lest in these parts)

All parts are in cast resin (or similar) which should be robust enough.

Depends on the price I suppose. Maybe a couple of sets, with individual pieces available at a premium. Or rather, the sets would be a "Special Offer"

Seriously though, they look very nice

[gozerius]

Looks very nice. You might consider offering the open fields as a set with the hedges, vines, trees as seperate purchases. that way your customers can customize their order to suit their needs.

They look great, especially the BUA. I think building work best in a smaller scale than the figures, so 10mm scale would be fine.
I don't like the shape of the fields. I'd prefer rectangles or ovals.

The vineyard is good, but should be more separated, as they are really grown as bushes will no connectivity between them.
This is the gobelet/bush training approach with 0.5 meter of the vine with about 1-1.5 meters between each plant.
