WIP-REVIEW: More scenery for Robotech!

First update of this year!
I've been building the scenery sets from 4Ground I have so far:
Primera actualización del año!
He estado armando los sets de escenografía de 4Ground que tengo hasta ahora:


The first kit that I assembled was the Pylons, from the 10mm Jesserai line. This line is intended for Dropzone Commander, but I chose kits from the Industrial Wards, that would not look awkward because of the scale difference (Robotech Tactics is 6mm scale).
El primer kit que armé fueron las torres de alta tensión, de la línea en 10mm Jesserai. Esta línea está dirigida a Dropzone Commander, pero elegí kits de los Distritos Industriales, que no se fueran a ver extraños debido a la diferencia de escalas (Robotech Tactics está en escala 6mm).

Left: Unpainted joints. Right: Already done.
Izquierda: Junturas sin pintar. Derecha: Arregladas.

I had no idea how these would look, but calculated that if chosen correctly, everything would fit. For example, a pylon in 10mm scale would represent an almost 20m heigh structure and translated to 6mm scale would be a 55m heigh one. That's why I was gifted by my lovely GF the pylons, fences, landing pad and an urban power plant, discarding other options like residential buildings, streets, etc.
No tenía idea de como lucirían, pero calculé que si elegía correctamente, todo calzaría. Por ejemplo, una torre de alta tensión en escala 10mm representa una estructura de casi 20m de alto y transferida a escala 6mm representaría una de 55m de alto. Es por esto que elegí para que mi amorosa polola me regalara las torres de alta tensión, cercas, puerto de aterrizaje y una planta urbana de energía, descartando otras opciones como edificios residenciales, calles, etc.

Yup, that's a custom 1:285 ruler.
Sip, esta es una regla en escala 1:285.



I must say that I'm more than pleased with the results. I loved the 4Ground products when I saw them online, and after buying and assembled them I can say I like them even more! At first I was kind of shocked with the amazing level of detail of the kits, and then worried because how fragile the uncut sheets seemed! But after assembling, the kits gain all the sturdiness they need, even the ones that are formed just by thin elements (like the pylons or fences). Of course, major buildings come with thicker componentes, ensuring that the final result is quite durable.
Debo decir que estoy más que satisfecho con los resultados. Amé los productos de 4Ground cuando los vi en internet y después de comprarlos y armarlos puedo decir ¡que me gustan aún más! En un principio me shockeó un poco el excelente nivel de los detalles de los kits, luego me preocupó cuan frágil se veían las láminas sin despiezar. Pero después de armados, los kits ganan toda la robustez que necesitan, incluso aquellos que están formados solo por elementos delgados (como las torres de alta tensión o las cercas). Por supuesto, las construcciones mayores vienen con componentes más gruesos, asegurando que el resultado final sea duradero.


 

Here's an example of how my fences will be. I made a simple but effective conversion to add barbed wire to them. Of course, in 6mm scale, the barbed spikes are not visible, so I searched for a suitable alternative to represent the wire. The solution came thanks to a friend (thanks Aweboldo!) who suggested used bass strings. He even gave me some to try. I ended selecting one and unrolling it to have a nice spiral shaped wire to attach to the fence poles. The pole even came with the holes made by the laser cutting process so it was pretty easy. Attaching it, easy; unrolling the string... painfully slow and difficult!
Aquí va un ejemplo de como serán mis cercas. Hice una pequeña pero efectiva conversión para añadirles alambre de púas. Por supuesto, en escala 6mm las púas no son visibles, por lo que busqué una alternativa adecuada para representar el alambre. La solución llegó gracias a un amigo (¡gracias Aweboldo!), quien me sugirió que usara cuerdas de bajo usadas. Incluso me dio algunas para probar. Terminé seleccionando una y desenrollándola para tener un bello y contorneado alambre en forma de espiral que pegar a los postes de las cercas. Estos postes incluso vienen con los hoyos hechos por el proceso de corte por láser, por lo que fue muy fácil. Pegarlo, fácil; desenrollar la cuerda... ¡dolorosamente lento y difícil!

Continuing with the scenery... This is the main building of the urban power plant. Seriously, these kits are GREAT. It was a joy building this kit. Please take a look at the details, like the ventilation vents, ducts and others...
Continuando con la escenografía... Este es el edificio principal de la planta urbana de energía. De verdad, estos kits son GENIALES. Fue un agrado armar este kit. Por favor miren los detalles, como los respiraderos, los ductos y otros...



The only down-side of these kits is, that being pre-cut and pre-painted items, you must cover some joints. LOL. Just that and you are done!. If you add more colours the kits look even better. In this case I spent like 2 minutes with a silver Sharpie pen covering ALL the details. 2 minutes.
Lo único negativo de estos kits es, que siendo pre-cortados y pre.pintados, tienes que cubrir ciertos junturas. Jajajajajaja. ¡Sólo ese y estás listo! Si añades más colores los kits se ven incluso mejor. En este caso pasé 2 minutos con un Sharpie metalizado cubriendo TODOS los detalles. 2 minutos.


 


 

Other things to consider are the envelops, contents and instructions.
The bigger kits come in boxes while smaller ones come in zip-bags with the instructions, step by step in full colour. Can't say anything negative about these topics; the instructions are pretty clear and very explanatory and every little piece of the sprues is labeled. In addition of the instrucions, bigger kits come with everything necessary to build the model: clamps and different sized ruber bands to hold it while gluing.
Otras cosas a considerar son los envases, el contenido y las instrucciones.
Los kits más grandes vienen en cajas, mientras que los pequeños vienen en bolsas resellables con las instrucciones paso por paso a todo color. No puede decir nada negativo de estos temas; las instrucciones son muy claras y explicativas, y cada pequeña pieza en la matriz está etiquetada. En adición a las instrucciones, los kits más grandes vienen con todo lo necesario para armar el modelo: perritos de madera y elásticos de diferentes tamaños para sujetar el modelo mientras lo pegas.




In summary: 4Ground products are a blast. The detail is just awesome, they are not difficult to build, look incredible when finished and are sturdy enough to last long. I'll definitely buy more 4Ground products!
(Once Wayland Games stocks them again, the products lasts almost nothing and they are gone!)
En resumen: los productos de 4Ground son una pasada. El detalle es impresioannte, no son difíciles de armar, se ven increíble una vez terminados y son suficientemente resistente para resistir harto. ¡Definitivamente compraré más productos 4Ground!
(una vez que Wayland Games reponga el stock nuevamente, porque los productos 4Ground no duraron nada y ¡se agotaron!)



Lastly, here's what is coming! (Among finishing all the fences with barbed wire!)
Finalmente, ¡aquí está lo que se viene! (¡Aparte de terminar todas las cercas con alambre de púas!)

  2. Congratulations on the upgraded scenery! It looks very nice and I hope to see some of it in future game battle reports. I've got some of the Dropzone Commander cardstock sets myself but haven't made the jump to full scenery. There aren't many Robotech/Mecha bloggers out there so I linked you on my own blog after you joined dakka.

  27. By nature then, indeed, are animals formed endowed with sense; but in some of them memory is not innate from sense, and in others it is. And for this reason are these possessed of more foresight, as well as a greater aptitude for discipline, than those which are wanting in this faculty of memory. Those furnished with foresight, indeed, are yet without the capability of receiving instruction, whatever amongst them are unable to understand the sounds they hear; as, for instance, bees, and other similar tribes of animals; but those are capable of receiving instruction as many as, in addition to memory, are provided with this sense also.
