The Road! May release #1.
🕑 Added 2023-05-02 16:58:34 +0000 UTCHi everybody,
the first part of the Road release is ready, with:
- Modular OpenLOCK road. Containing different tiles, shapes and combinations. It should provide enough options to make all the paved roads and squares you need. It also contains "sides" that are meant to hide the OpenLOCK mechanism and that give the road a stronger look; you can find all the instructions inside or in the images above.
I wanted to make a non-OpenLOCK version of this road, but the testing I did didn't lead to satysfying results. The purpose of this variant would be to use less resin, but thinner "slates" of resin have the well known and cursed warping problem which lead me to basically using a comparable thickness to that OpenLOCK tiles, so, there's that.
I think this road is really useful, fast to print and more versatile than it seems: you can use it for squares, to make a monumental staircase by stacking the tiles, or if align two "roads" you can put a water battlemat below them to make city water channels: just a few ideas that came to mind :)
- Road Decor Objects. A set that contains a few signposts with variants (and customizable ones, if you need just one or twenty signs), and roman style milestones with or without carved numbers, as well as the "High Road" and "Imperial Road" tags just to make them cool.
That's it for now, I have already sent out invites to redeem these models on MMF, or you can find them at the pinned link-post. As always, if you have not received the redeem message, write me: sometimes the message gets lost in emails or MMF's inbox.
I'll be back in a few days with the (clear!) poll winner and hopefully the next step of the release: the modular bridge!
Thanks for the support, and I wish you a happy hobby time :D

Any news?

Do I spy lifting bollards so that we can have stagecoach-only roads to cut down on cart congestion?

Love it! Not sure if I am asking for too much, but are you also considering making trees/bushes for next to the road? (maybe you already made some in an older release that you would be willing to share) But even without those the road is amazing!
