LocoLaurie Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Welcome to my science-fiction themed layout called 'Clash at North Ridge'. I have mixed Warhammer figures with old trains well past their sell-by date to give them a fresh look. This is a fun layout that creates quite a stir. This is the web page for it: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/calvertfilm/CalNorthRidge1.htm And this is the 'trailer' for the layout itself: Plenty of special effects going on, some on the layout, some added afterwards. Regards, Laurie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
artizen Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Now, the trick is to get all those special effects to happen repeatedly at an exhibition. However, I'm not sure I would like to be stood next to it for two days - the noise would be enough to rattle all the tea cups of the rivet counters!!! Just getting my coat and Darth Vader voice-changer mask now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corax67 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Nicely done Laurie - all that's missing is my pair of Tau Riptides dropping in & toasting everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFT Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's fantastic - and presumably can also be used to play 40k on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoLaurie Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's fantastic - and presumably can also be used to play 40k on? Well you could I guess. Your dice-throwing hand might have to avoid the lasers So far it has only been displayed finished at one exhibition and we had two invites to other shows before that one had even opened. I think people like to see something different, and something to perhaps inspire the younger generation into the hobby? I did present this idea to a manufacturer but they didn't run with it (just yet). Shame - I think it'd make a great starter set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-e Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I like this, I can see a market for it. Don't know how Hornby got on with their Battlezone set but I imagine there is a greater audience out there for a Warhammer / World of Warcraft / Guild Wars / Hobbit type tie in especially if they can produce higher detailed locos than an 08 painted green.

treggyman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi Not my scene but what a brilliant idea excellently presented & built..... Certainly would entertain a lot of the younger generation & more importantly widen the potential audience What a clever idea with all the audience participation to keep people interested..... BRILLIANT Cheers Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
