HOW TO Create Clip-fit Necromunda Zone Mortalis Stairs!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The Zone Mortalis Stairs are fantastic but boy, they are NOT stable. The State of Play takes an in depth look at the Zone Mortalis Stairs for Necromunda terrain and other games (Stargrave, Space Hulk, Warhammer 40k, Kill Team) and helps you easily mod them to make them stand on their own or clip onto the Zone Mortalis Platforms.
We take a look at the pros and cons, create some other Zone Mortalis Stair options that aren't in the instructions and work out how to make these sturdy, stable and modular.

    Awesome, I literally just assembled an absolute ton of those pipes I got cheap with Imperium Magazine and today started on the stairs kit I'd had lying about for ages. Although 2 things - 1. Instead of cutting a long pipe section in half you can also glue together two of the right angled sections which when glued together properly reach the exact same height. Ideally though I used two of the asymmetric ones as this means you can tuck them under the stairs a bit while still maintaining enough support to keep it free standing. If you use the two different 90 degree bends you'd probs have to point it away from the stairs to maintain balance and that would limit where you could put walkways attaching to the landing. 2. Some of the landing platform bits don't have the right height to do this. Perhaps ironically the one with the manhole cover for a pipe going down below it is the wrong height unless you cut down your supporting pipe section.

    Hey! Yes, you are absolutely correct with number 1. However, I’d already used all those sections to make modular pipes. But it would totally work. On 2, you’re also correct. This only really works on the stairs landings. Most of the other platforms have a bit underneath you need to shave off. Especially those ones with the hatch. Good spot on all of this!!

    @@thestateofplay2023 no worries! Thanks for the video I'd had kinda hobby paralysis with this kit because I just wasn't sure how to assemble it best or what to glue together but the stairs being free standing modular parts makes it less stress. On also I noticed if you stack two columns and put the platform on top, a whole straight pipe section also reached exactly so you could make a big free standing double-height platform with 4 pipe bits and either some of the provided platform bits or just whatever you had lying about, and it should line up perfectly.

    Ah! Double doors on top of each other for double height? Try this, it might help. Make one door as normal but trim those little tabs off the top. And sand the top flat. Then take two sides of a second door (the posts) and remove all the plastic from the inside of the sliding part. A dremel helps. These parts then actually glue to the top of the first door in a mirror image. And fit quite well. Take a second door and also clip of the tabs and sand. Glue the two doors together top to top so one is upside down and it should slide in. You may need to fiddle with how much you remove from the inside of the two top door posts. Leaving the bottoms door posts intact stops it from wobbling around. And the top just becomes a free slider.
