Rather nice...........doesn't shout Martian to me though, more British attempt to get back on an even keel with those invading savages....

Agreed. I think it makes a good take on reverse-engineered Martian technology.

Yes, it's close, I like it, but not quite Martian. I don't think the rivets work at all, I wonder if they can be cleanly removed?

My favourite miniature tripods are actually Ground Zero Games' - only problem is that they're scaled for 10-15mm...

I echo the previous comments...the search for a perfect tripod continues...

It looks like it is based on the 1906 Henrique Alvim Corréa illustration.

For that, it does a decent-enough job IMHO, although the pose is rather static.

It looks even more like it in this pic -



For me though, this is the classic tripod, from the Jeff Wayne album illustrations -

'Sir John ejaculated explosively, sitting up in his chair.' ... 'The Black Gang'.

Which means to me, I like the rivets, get rid of the tentacles...  :D

Eureka still have a few of my tripods in stock.

They have a more Jeff Wayne feel IMO.

I agree the ironclad ones work as reengineered British ones based on captured Martian tech.

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.
