Re: [GZG] dice and iris portals

[Roger Books <roger.books@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for the pointers.   I looked into all of them.  The eBay seller had 
some in hydrostone but they weren't to my liking. (picky picky)  I'm going to resin cast
some.  Now all I need to do is find a reasonable size ring to start.  I have a ring
for a floor iris, the little ring that comes in stacks of CDs is perfect.

This will be my first original creation casting.  I made resin cartridges for a friends
western costume, made the molds off of a 45 cartridge.

Artillery vehicles, Starships, I'm in a vehicle building mood.  :)

Not sure you can assume the case of one dice providing a single damage point should be
excluded. That's a conclusion I believe doesn't have any evidence to support it in the
initial problem case. So I wouldn't leave it out.

But otherwise, we're in agreement. :)

Roger:

I think Fantasy Forge (same guys that do dungeon halls) do some 25mm stuff for sci-fi,
IIRC. I'm not sure if they have a separate IRIS valve. I'm sure we've got a resident
paper-products geek who could produce a good injet-able Iris valve that could be put on
some foamcore and them the foamcore could be inserted between hallway segments (or between
hallway walls) as the bulkhead + hatch. If said nameless artist-in-paper can produce a
hatch that is closed, a little work with a penknife could also produce 'open hatch'
versions. The cost would be cheaper than resins.

Other places to check would be Armorcast, Old Crow (maybe?), GW, etc. Manufacturing one
and then making a plaster or resin pour-mould ought not to be too hard either. Or coming
up with a standard form and using some foamcore, styrene and/or balsa, you could produce a
number of them to a roughly uniform standard. A bit of paint, a decal or two (things like
steelplate wall textures or control panels, and voila.

Also I-Kore (I-Core)'s Void line may have something.
