The new stuff, however, I think I will give a try with the foam insulation filler. If nothing else, it provides a great space for me to write the store name on the bottom so its not "accidentally" packed away with someone's army.Charles Fedukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057631290185370035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-75279530503838173792009-07-19T09:07:59.740-06:002009-07-19T09:07:59.740-06:00Jonathan,

So far these pieces have not been a major issue...at least not in my book.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446782807978825841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-61804102136967438992009-07-19T09:05:07.594-06:002009-07-19T09:05:07.594-06:00Closet Gamer,

I think this is the fault of the model maker and not the manufacturer. The originals are poorly designed for vacuum form processing. Having said that, I think these will paint up and be fine on the table.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446782807978825841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-39744484238742060042009-07-19T09:03:04.616-06:002009-07-19T09:03:04.616-06:00John,

I have played several games with them already and they are fine jst as they are. THey are a little light so I wanted to add some wieght so they would stay in place better.<br /><br />The Blastscape needs the wieght and, because they have deeper detail, they NEED the reinforcement. The tallker pieces are a little thin in top but this is normal with vacuum formed pieces.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446782807978825841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-3978812588624859482009-07-19T08:06:14.202-06:002009-07-19T08:06:14.202-06:00That must be the discrepancy.That the added detail...That must be the discrepancy.That the added detail of the Blastscape fails where the Moonscape didnt have any to raise eyebrows.<br /><br />One thing I am confused on thou<br />my Moonscape needed no additional reinforcement, claims of the Blastscape being so thin that a metal dread crumpled it are pretty far off from the moonscape I have ( I fixed 5 Moonscape craters to<br />a table and have had no issues after tons of play)<br />I was just looking at my moonscape and the corners seem much sharper then the blast scape pics on Dakka<br />perhaps they did several runs on the Moonscape and I got a very early one.<br /><br />Thanks for the comparison.JPLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461099993856743894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-4416087288467252312009-07-19T04:27:00.205-06:002009-07-19T04:27:00.205-06:00I've got the moonscape craters and I'm rea...I've got the moonscape craters and I'm really happy with them. The new Blastscape one look more detailed, so I bet they show bad molding more. But what do people expect from Vac-Formed models.<br /><br />I mounted mine on wooden bases, much more durable than the rock I made at the same time, funny enough, I made the rocks out of the same foam you filled the craters with!Andy Goodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195308991674248886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058258817691018841.post-38719940407649696662009-07-19T03:23:21.291-06:002009-07-19T03:23:21.291-06:00Is the detail as poor as many people have said?
