Troublemaker Games: Plastic Terrain Kits

Troublemaker Games planen eine Geländekampagne auf Indiegogo.

A campaign to crowdfund development of UK-produced small scale plastic terrain kits for Wargaming and Tabletop Roleplay gaming.

Who Are Troublemaker Games?

We are an established wargames development company who supply plastic, metal and resin miniatures for wargames retail companies, whose sculptors also have experience doing freelance work for other companies such as Mantic Games (For whom we sculpted their range of 28mm scale plastic terrain kits).

We have previously run four other Crowdfunding Campaigns, raising a total of £42,500 to deliver plastic and metal models for the 6mm scale wargame, Defeat In Detail (1 2 3 4).

We have delivered all the plastic and metal kits from all four of our crowdfunding campaigns to our customers, and all models (other than campaign exclusive special edition pieces) are now available for retail purchase through Vanguard Miniatures as the „Defeat In Detail“ range.

The plastic models element of Wave 1 was hit by several unexpected delays before we eventually delivered the models, and we subsequently changed tooling room to a more reliable company for subsequent plastics projects.

We have already tested the tooling company for this project by producing a prototype Mixed Theme Sprue.

Above: As we have already invested in creating the basic Bolster & Insert technology for this project,  by using a combination of Electrode Sparking and Drill Milling, we can now produce detailed plastic model buildings moulds at a fraction of traditional tooling costs.

Our plastics design & production services using our Bolster asset to reduce tooling cost are also available to supply other wargames companies – enquiries welcome.

Above: A sample set of 10x Mixed Theme Sprues, painted by Golem Painting Studio.

The panels are 5cm x 5cm in dimension, and are reversible so as to have „wall“ details on the front sides, and „roof“ details on the rear sides of the panels.

Note that we can still take feedback on the stretch goal scenery designs in this crowdfunding campaign, so we can (if customers request) modify the sculpts by adding different details (etc) before they are cast up and sent out.

Stretch Goal #4 also involves adding more details to the currently featureless sides of two of the panels on the Mixed Theme Sprue – again, the specific details put on those panels could be modified on requests from project backers.

Die Sets mit Modelle verschiedener Maßstäbe (6mm und 15mm):
