New Q.E.D.

From Precision Products

by Phil Viverito

John Hutt of Precision Products announced today that his company will be releasing new Q.E.D.s, (Quick & Easy Drawing) for historical gamers. A Q.E. D. is a small booklet that explains how to build scratch built buildings using plastic veneers, glue and panels. The first in a series of historical buildings is a Roman Mile Castle & Barracks Blocks in 25 mm. When assembled the pieces are about 5 inches high and 15 inches by 16 inches.When done it is beautiful and inexpensive. Mark Z. has the prototype and often uses it for Convention games.

What do you get in a Q.E.D.? Primarily it is a booklet that contains a simple yet detailed diagram of a structure, much like one you get with a model kit. The Q.E.D. lists everything you will require; a parts list, assembly instructions and many tips and explanations on how to use panels, veneers and glues. Price is $4.00 U.S. Veneer sheeting and glue is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

Hutt’s products are ideal for constructing very affordable gaming terrain and buildings. In regard to terrain Precision Products has excellent rivers, roads and lakes. The terrain sheets come in 15 inch by 15 inch, white panels. For painting you use enamel spray or acrylic water base paints to finish these.

The panels give you 45 inches of roads or rivers both in 15 or 25mm scales. They are white in color, inexpensive and realistic when finished. Before discovering gaming, Hutt was noted internationally for his model rail road, doll house lines of plastic veneers and Q.E.D.’s In addition to the Q.E.D.releases Precision Products is planning to make megaron style walls for use in the Trojan War period. Troy was made using existing veneers.

Smaller 5 by 12 (don’t quote me on exact size) for thatch and cedar roofs are available too. The larger sheets include; Celtic and Roman walls and various terrain.
