Excellent news!

Well done, Fuzzy  :D

Still not sure if the tripods are exactly what I'd envisage for Wellsian VSF, but they are beautiful models and work very well in your game. That's probably a "yes" vote for them, then  lol

Awesome looking game, and btw, a great blog. Loved the step by step on the dauntless and would be interested in knowing more about the Hermes.

I just went back and had another look at your site :o :o
The Hermes is stunning :-* :-*
You need to make sure pictures are added to the Aeronef thread.
I really like some of the details.  :-*
The rails are very, very neat. :o :-*
I tried that before and couldn't get it to look right. :'(
I also like how you have done the louvers on the engine area. How did you make them?
HMLS Dauntless is lovely (not sure if that is right word for a large steel monster, but you know what I mean lol).
You whole army is a very good advert for Eureka miniatures.
Thanks for all the eye candy :D

Thanks for the great comments. The hermes rails were the hardest part of the whole build. Gamer Mac, the engine louvers are just a particular type of styrene sheet (type and brand escapes me now). I just cut rectangles of it and stuck them on.

Cheers
Fuzzy.

Too right you should have won, that is outstanding stuff. If only we could pool resources a legendary game would be had. Alas, 9000 miles puts the kybosh on that!

There are some wonderful games on your site - not just the War Of The Worlds one. Wargaming is obviously thriving in the land of Aus  :D

This is my favourite pic:

Absolutely barking mad and very well made. Fantastic!
