28mm - Armorcast Resin Scenery - MegaCannon

Another company making resin scenery for 28mm and other scales: Armorcast.

They have a great range of figures, scenery and weapons, from which I have purchased the MegaCannon. It looks very impressive in the pics; I will have to see how well it goes together when it arrives.

This outrageous weapon will either become a weapon arm for an Ork Stompa, or an emplacement for the Boyz (or the Imperials. When the fighting gets nasty and the scenery takes some hits, sometimes it's only the graffiti that tells you who owns a particular piece of turf.)


If the Armorcast MegaCannon is good, I might return to their site and buy some of their Soda Can Storage Tanks. These are resin bases and fittings that suit a standard sized (American) soft drink can, turning it into a piece of scenery. As the site says:


Upside down soda/soft drink cans look cool as storage tanks, but what do you do about the depression in the top of the can? Armorcast has solved the problem for you with Soda Can Storage Tank kits. You supply the cans and Armorcast provides a base with recesses for two or three upside down soft drink cans and detail pieces that fit into the tops of the cans. Drink a soda, build gaming terrain and recycle at the same time!

Very imaginative. It's what gamers have been doing for ages, but the resin pieces turn an objet trouvee into a work of art.
