New Laser Cut Project - Sci-Fi Corridors

I was asked by Durham Wargames Club (well over a year ago) if I could produce a set of Sci-Fi corridors. I spent a good while mulling over plans, and earlier this year I actually started work on the design. I have been very busy with other projects, so it has taken a while to get to the stage where I can actually show you something.

These photos are very much a work in progress, it is far from finished and I need to tweak quite lot, but I have the basic design pretty much sorted out now...

I designed the system so that it can be used with Fenris Games Sulaco Corridor tiles. In these photos though, I have used 6mm MDF for the floors, as that is what the Durham club requested.  Most of the structure is built in 3mm MDF, but there are also parts made in 1.5mm grey card.


I have designed a system that locks together with pegs, this meas that it will hold together well, but be easy to rearrange!


Wall sections have push out sections that can be used as windows or access panels.


Finally, in this photo you can see a Reaper Sci-Fi figure, to give you some idea of the scale.


Now I have the basic sorted out I should be able to generate the different corridor sections and rooms quite quickly. I still need to design some door systems, possibly to vary the look form bulkheads to sliding high tech doors, or possibly some lower tech ones too. I will also be adding more engraved detail, and possibly replacing the grey card sections with 1.5mm ply.

I will post some more photos once I have taken it a bit further...

  1. That looks very nice, and I can see how the Sulaco tiles would really dress it up. if you were to sell these, any idea of the cost?

    1. Fenris already sell a couple of my kits (Derrick and Clive). So there is a good chance they will release this one too.
      As for the cost, that will be up to Fenris to decide...
