Now here is an odd thing to admit. When Micro Art first announced their 'Designed for Infinity' scenery I wasn't that taken with their catwalks. Now don't get me wrong I think they looked cool but they looked like they took up a lot of space on the board without actually providing that much cover, certainly at ground level. Then there was the fact that the railings weren't solid, so they shouldn't provide cover, and to the inner sniper in me that just seemed like a missed opportunity. They actually looked like they might make superb Necromunda or 40k scenery, if not aesthetically certainly in how they would play out on the game board. Nope, it was the buildings that tickled this particular gamers fancy... thing is opinions change, and after actually using these in some games I'm man enough to admit I was wrong and do a volte-face!
Product DescriptionAs with the other Micro Art Infinity scenery I reviewed, the District 5 Apartment 1 building, these catwalks are a precision laser cut HDF kit. The pieces come attached to 4 HDF sheets and require 'poking' out of their spru's prior to assembly. Micro Art do provide a prodding tool on the spru's itself to aid with that prodding. However, I'd advise taking a very fine surgical grade exacto bladed craft knife to the back of them, to ensure they are cut all the way through and to stop you snapping any of the thinner pieces as you extract them from the spru. The kit comes in about 95 pieces excluding the 'prodding device' and although that might sound extremely complex, it's actually a really easy piece of kit to put together, and it's pretty obvious where everything goes. Having said that the 'construction' guide could do with a few more photograph examples maybe, but I didn't find it too hard and I built what you'll see in this review in under 30 minutes, and to be clear it's all from the one kit.
