The Kickstarter campaign that I have been doing test-prints for launched a few hours ago:

Some of you may know Kathy Millatt from her YouTube channel or from her time as a judge on The Great Model Railway Challenge. She’s also a SciFi geek and has recently started playing tabletop games (Star Wars Legion).

She’s been working on the designs for these modular landing platforms over the past few months and, boy, are there a lot of options in the package.

I’ve spent the last two weeks (almost) test-printing the SciFi Ring from the Galactic Set:

The ring has two levels which can be used separately (the upper ring needs basing sections for that though), or together for a taller structure. There are 14* different lower sections and 12* different upper pieces. And that’s just for one of the four landing pads in the Galactic Set and before any Stretch Goals are added.

In the photos above you can see what I have printed so far – 14 lower sections and 4 upper sections. You need 12 per level to make a basic ring – I’m printing extras to show off all the options, but that means making a sort of figure-of-eight shape.

There are three pledge levels:

Core Modular Set (allowing you to build landing pads in a range of sizes and shapes) – £32

Galactic Set (SciFi Ring, Desert Ring and a Sky City one either full or flat) – £32

All-In (both sets) – £50 (or £45 if you get in early)

Considering how much you get in each set, I’d say that it is incredibly good value. Of course, once you have the files you will need to print them…

* actually slightly more – for the lower ring there are two different tops for the towers and a variant of the buttress piece which requires supports for printing; for the upper ring there are two different tower tops.
