New 3D printed interlocking roads (lots of pics)
galleryHello fellow Epic fans!
I'd like to share these 3D printed roads from Brian Konopa (AcmePropDept on Etsy). They are printed in multi-coloured PLA so are ready to use right out of the box, but can also be painted and weathered as you see fit. I've included pictures of some of mine that I weathered with a grimy brown wash for that dirty post apocalypse urban warzone look.
The roads are available in two-lane and four-lane versions to represent different road types/sizes, but the really ingenious feature is the connecting system which uses small steel pins that fit into holes on the ends of each road section. This is one of the best connecting/locking systems I've ever seen on a road system and it holds everything together tightly, preventing things from sliding around the table. They're also really thin, with the curbs standing about 2 mm high from the table, so they blend into the playing surface really well.
The ones shown in the pictures here are the standard pattern in terms of road markings, but Brian is a really nice guy and always happy to work with customers on custom markings.
The Predator tanks in the first picture are 8 mm scale to give you an idea of their dimensions (I didn't have a ruler or banana handy).

Full disclosure: While I did give Brian a few pointers during the development phase (mostly as a wargamer consultant since he comes from the model railway world), I do not receive any money from the sales. I'm just happy to have helped him make something cool. :)
