I've just worked through this entire log and I am blown away. Your work is fantastic and so creative. The Salute game in particular looks fantastic, and has all been saved for inspiration on my own Mars project. I'm waiting on the Eureka Homeguard range for my VBCW/ARBM game, which leads me to wonder whether VSF could be expanded to the 1930's? Hmm...

No band sourced yet but I haven’t really had a good look.

Eureka Miniatures have some fantastic band sets in their Civilians and Vignettes range.

Possibly a tad too late, but I particularly love their 1920s Jazz Band - 8 figure set.

Thanks

Got a couple of long running characters from our games; Captain Sebastian Softlove and Sergeant Rawley Ruffbrute.

Diesel-punk

There's a Russian band that Tusba have done for the Russo-Japanese war and they might work with some head conversions

Nice -I'm ashamed to say I've missed this whole thread, it's so good! And it's given me loads of ideas of how I could use my old west minis differently. Does your Mars have a frontier?

Always fancied a space western type or using the boer war type figures.

The whole bloody planet is a frontier

Apart from the immediate areas around the main centres of habitation

A right rascally looking pair!

Bet I can guess who secretly fancies himself as 'Softlove'.......

Built a quick semaphore tower after visiting one down the road last week (it was unfortunately boarded up undergoing restoration work). It’s called Chatley Heath and was part of a string of similar towers going through Surrey between the 1820’s and 1840’s (or thereabouts). Mine is a lot simpler though.

Now, not much need for a semaphore in the age of the telegraph, and there are telegraph lines on Mars but they are frequent targets of Sky Martian raids and so a more traditional form of quick communication was needed

I haven’t based it as I reckon it can be used for our eventualBattle of Dorking/Invasion England campaign when it eventually gets off the ground.
