Wow!

Thanks chaps! Glad they are still providing inspiration hopefully. We did get carried away making them I suppose but it was such fun making them I suppose at the time, whittling away!   Thing is, I never ever got through all the official 1889 designs as I kept finding new ones and fan ones, that's probably still going on now!
   I haven't fought them against each other much for a while but some did come out last year in support of 15mm European ground troops on Mars.  The scale difference didn't seem to matter to me as they are 'high in the sky' and distant from the bigger stuff on the ground, my excuse anyway.

Not an excuse!

That's the gospel according to the sainted Major General Tremorden Rederring!

Ah!  found a few not great pics of the aforementioned last game with 15mm Brits on Mars fighting the Cephalid menace out in the deserts of Mars (note red weed).   
The Brits advanced firstly with tracked contraptions supported by some clunky steam walkers, the aerial gunboats were there but kept their distance mostly while the ground forces mixed it up with the squiddies.

then rather belatedly the infantry and cavalry caught up with the advance and some lancers can be seen rather cheekily poking a small Cephalid flyer who came too close!   the cheek of it. probably rather ineffectual, but dashing of course.

shame I didnt get more pics as there was a lot more going on off camera.
fun though, and a workable mix of scales, I thought.

Photos are still good - showing off the collection. I like the last photo for the mini story it tells.
