New Flight Stand Prototypes

 

 

 

 

Got some great news! I was asked to design a better stand for space games. So here is the prototype. Got some DFM (Design for Manufacturing) to do but the concept has been proven and I can move on with trying to make a production model.

What we have here is a magnet stand that will hold rather large ships and even small ones. The wedge allows for rotation up to a rather steep angle. This large a ship will not go the complete 90 without falling off but anything smaller would work. This is a full thrust carrier and is rather heavy. The main point of this stand is to be stable during play and removable easily for storage. The rotation is a benefit if needed.

Other varients may come out later if demand is there. These would be a stand capable of rotating on 2 axis instead of just the one and maybe a smaller set for frigates and fighters.

The production will have two diffent size bases. a 2 inch circle and a 4 inch circle. The ship shown is more suited for a 4 inch base. Also may release hex varients. I need to do more research to see what most ship based games use. Let me know what you would like to see. Bases will be laser cut and have an etched compass rose.

Stay tuned for more information and pricing as I get the design finalized.

As a side note other projects currently in the works are a 15mm (maybe scaled up to 28mm in the future) terrain system for dungeons and Scifi. It will be modular and cusomizable with 2d rooms for the basic stuff and doors (think space hulk) But an optional 3d component with walls and bridges and many other goodies.

Also some of my products will be available at Heat of Battle at the WWII museum in New Orleans this weekend. See Bobe's Hobby House for details.

New products in the pipeline

To keep everyone updated we are working on getting some of our products into stores near you. If you are a hobby store owner and want to carry any products offered by CorSec contact us at corseceng@gmail.com.

On the design side we are working on getting a few new prototype ideas off the ground.

15mm Scifi corridor system. This will be a space hulk like system that can be used with 15mm figs to create massive star ship and base scenarios.

Fiber optic equipped star mats. Ever wonder why it would be like to have a cool star map that actually light up?

Any ideas or thoughts don't hesitate to comment or email us. Our goal is to work with gamers to enhance their gaming experience.

3D modular terrian Battletech

Ok had a great time at bayou wars with my terrain. It took a lot more work then I wanted but the design is great. Biggest problem right now is the production process. So if your interested in hexes let me know. I have some ideas to crank out hexes faster and with more precision if there is enough interest. Each of these maps are made of individual hexes that where attached to a foam board with 2 sided tape and then painted and flocked. Even added some rubble hexes. The maps are copies of two paper maps. Desert Hills and Desert mountains. Ok enough talk to the PHOTOS!













The system worked great with the hex building blocks and would have been awesome if they where more precise and easier to make. Seriously if there is enough interest then I may open production on sets of these. However at this time I cannot because the time and money are to much of a gamble right now. Enjoy the pics. If your interested in purchasing these maps contact me. I may sell them if someone wants them.

Battletech Quick Strike Cards

Having tried the quick strike rules we quickly fell in love with them. So I did a bunch of cards using the template that catalyst provides and stats from skunkwerks conversions. I posted them all online so feel free to download and use them. If you haven't tried quick strike then give it a shot. Its faster cleaner and way more fun. Of course you need to get some terrain but come on buy some cheap trees and some green felt and go to town. Spray paint areas darker green for the trees and maybe even a nice road and you have your a game map. Add hills and building later just have some fun.

Battletech Token Set

Battletech Tokens!

Ok I know litko made a set for mech combat but I felt it was lacking. So I decided to make my dream set. Each token is about the size of the hex side for the minis. I feel this works better and looks a lot better. Here is a run down of what I thought was needed

Run
Walk
Jump
Out of Control
Unconscious
Pilot Check
Prone
Torso Twist

If you have more suggestions let me know. I will be posting set of these for sale soon.

Modular Battletech Terrain

Ok got some pics and some info. I'm designing a modular battletech hex terrain map system. The down side each hex is individual. The plus side is its very flexible. Still working out the production side of things but my first map is coming together. here are the basic units.






A little wood glue to seal them with some paint mixed in for color. add a little red flocking and the hope is I can make a rather cool looking desert map. Still working out the final stages of how to hold it all together but the tape is working great for painting a ton of small hexes at a single time.

Stay tuned for more info and possible product. Right now its way to much work for me to produce them on a regular basis.

Battletech at Bayou Wars

I'm running a Battletech game at Bayou wars, hopefully on my new modular 3D hex map system. Its still in the idea stages and about to go to prototyping but I need to print off some laser cut custom tools to make it work. If your in the area and want to see it sign up for the game. Also will be bringing a lot of stuff with me hopefully to show off and take orders for.

New Stuff being prototyped now

Ok I have been busy lately. Here is a run down of what I have been working on.

3D numbers: About 0.5" high and come with a little round base

Flat Numbers: These are single 1 cm by 1 cm square with a number or letter etched into them.

Necromunda Templates: These are for the older rule book I guess. I have only played once and am working with some local guys to get it right. I have a 2.5" Flamer Template, a 2" hand flamer template, and circle template that are 1", 1.5" and 2"

Battletech Tokens: Jump, Run, Walk, Prone, Shutdown, and a bunch more. The first set will be designed for tech level 2 games. I'll make a more advanced tech level 3 set later.

Acrylic Flight Stands for Canvas Eagles: I have two versions of these now. a 4" version and a 5" version.

Fields of Glory: Some custom tokens for this game as well

Flames of War: Artillery template and an inch to cm converted ruler for 1/285th scale

More to come. Other projects are in the works as well. Including my custom 3D battletech styrofoam hex system. As always I can take request as well so let me know you laser cut dreams and we can work something out.

Canvas Eagles Flight Stands

Working with some local players I have designed a flight stand for the game Canvas Eagles. This game is great fun and can be very addictive. If you like the good old days of dog fighting where you had to stare down the barrel of you gun while zipping through the air in nothing but a canvas wrapped wooden coffin then you'll love this game.

On to the stands. We play with the 4" hex maps available from Hotz Mats So we designed a 4 inch acrylic hex base. This base is then etched with a forward direction arrow and a circle of numbers from 0 to 9. These indicate elevation in the game. Second piece is a circle with an arrow on it. We use expandable metal rods to hold the planes up. The second piece is placed on this and allow you to indicate what elevation your plane is currently at.

This will be added to the store soon. I'm going to try and order some prototypes soon and see how they turn out.

Got a game you want some custom items for? Drop me an email and we can talk about getting some items designed for you.

Lasers are cool

I am a designer that is using a laser cutting service to create table top gaming related items. If you have any requests I am looking to expand my offerings. Currently working on items that will work for Battletech, Fields of Glory, Canvas Eagles, and Flames of War. Current items in production are hexes designed to work with various games. Battletech is what they where designed for. Also working on a special set of templates for Flames of War in the 1/285th scale. This is the same scale as Micro Armor. Using the FOW rule set you can create massive games for a lot less money and room.
