Sky Galleons of Mars in 15mm
« on: August 17, 2020, 10:55:19 PM »
Years ago my friend Kurt and I picked up Sky Galleons of Mars at The gamestore in Atlanta at the time, Sword of the Phoenix.
Of course I was excited because it was on Mars and being a ER Burroughs fan I loved Mars. And Kurt had an interest in the Colonial period and well the Colonial powers were on Mars.
We loved it! Played it non stop for months. It was a great game and gave us wonderful memories.

But you know those 1/1000? size ships were just so small. Yet those 28mm ships I saw and Historicon and in magazine from the UK seemed too big. But recently I found a gent on etsy who made designed a couple of similar ships in 15mm.

So here is my first one painted up and crewed with Martian Empires 15mm Martians.
Next is drawing out a 6in hex grid on a suitable cloth. By Xmas I expect to post some pics of our first games of Sky Galleons of Mars in 15mm.

Great paint job. I purchased one of these for a friend and I was wondering where you got the cannons from? I've also purchased the British aphid from him, another good looking model.

That looks super!  ;D

I might be interested in some 15mm stuff. Do you have a link on Etsy to find them?

I'd appreciate it.
