Subject: [GZG] dice and iris portals
Binhan: Not sure you can assume the case of one dice providing a single damage point should be excluded. That's a conclusion I believe doesn't have any evidence to support it in the initial problem case. So I wouldn't leave it out. But otherwise, we're in agreement.:) Roger: I think Fantasy Forge (same guys that do dungeon halls) do some 25mm stuff for sci-fi, IIRC. I'm not sure if they have a separate IRIS valve. I'm sure we've got a resident paper-products geek who could produce a good injet-able Iris valve that could be put on some foamcore and them the foamcore could be inserted between hallway segments (or between hallway walls) as the bulkhead + hatch. If said nameless artist-in-paper can produce a hatch that is closed, a little work with a penknife could also produce 'open hatch' versions. The cost would be cheaper than resins. Other places to check would be Armorcast, Old Crow (maybe?), GW, etc. Manufacturing one and then making a plaster or resin pour-mould ought not to be too hard either. Or coming up with a standard form and using some foamcore, styrene and/or balsa, you could produce a number of them to a roughly uniform standard. A bit of paint, a decal or two (things like steelplate wall textures or control panels, and voila. Also I-Kore (I-Core)'s Void line may have something.
