Caravaning on Mars

[Supercollider]

I recently made a caravan to go with a steam howdah I made a few years ago.  Our space 1889 games have been centered around the exploits and adventures of a bunch of scientists exploring the wilds of Mars in the early days of colonisation.

It's got an optional roof mounted luggage rack and a ladder for easy access.

Mainly made from chopped up Christmas trains, random toys, styrene sheets, beads and paperclips.

I also made a couple of Martian skiffs from a couple of old Bionicle canister lids I had lying around.

Here's a few Brits on a skiff from a recent game.

Nice work all round! I particularly like the steam conveyance.

The caravan is sumptuous.

The skiffs are ingenious.

But, dash it all, one of the ladies is improperly dressed.

Then perhaps she is not a Lady.

So all the terrain on display in my gaming room isn't enough then

Some nice kit-bashing and painting there. I like how the ladder hangs along the side when not in "use".
