Well, as I'm the only one to (probably) use the Techno-bridge kit yet to build a fortification, I'd say yes. Several bridge kits is better, as it gives you more wall sections to use. Keep in mind that the bridge end pieces are tapered while the center ones are symmetrical.

There are a few exceptions but mostly the Hexagon and Platformer kit pieces are not made to fit together. Each however can be used to make some very good defensive structures. :)

The Platformer kits make a better "Whiskey Outpost" if that's what you want, IMHO.
 
Ok, another question, I'm probably gonna get A Platformer Large with a Technobridge, would those 2 make a decent fort or at least a good size bunker???

The advantage of using bridge sections is for large sections of walls or as platforms/roofs, so I'd think it would work. Because of the modular feature of both (especially the Platformer kit) you could later add more kits and pieces for expansion to make other shapes. You might even just go with two large Platformer kits to start with and add those bridge pieces at a later time.

Here is a bunker that I made using just a few pieces, if that is what you might be thinking of-

Notice that for this incarnation I used Hexagon kit pieces rather than Platformer pieces just to confuse you more about what to buy of course. :wink:

This bunker used three of the four bridge panels out of only a single Techno-bridge kit though, so it's more closely what you might be wanting.

what about 1 Large of both? just for a starter? and then buy a Technobridge?

Sure. That would be a good way to look at the kit parts and decide how you like them. I would recommend to glue the Platformer panel halves together before snapping the pins together as it makes a better/tighter fit when you attach them to other panels. I'd do the same when you assemble the joining pieces of the Platformer kit as well. The large kits are a better deal than the small kits are, too.
 
Here is a watchtower made using a rare combination of both Platformer and Hexagon pieces. The two do not really snap together but can be "fiddled" with so that they nest together.

i've seen those a bunch, but have never been really interested till now. so are those just metalic plastic or did you paint them, do they require glewing, where do you get them?

Where did you buy that stuff at?

Well, as for me I bought it from my distributor. Even though my store stocks gaming supplies and models, I've decided so far to keep off of the net with sales. With the many on-line discount stores you'd be able to get them for less than retail. The Warstore comes to mind as one name I've heard mentioned here on the forums. :)
