Title: BSC2025Has.been's Barsoom Flyer
Post by: has.been on 11 January 2025, 10:38:07 PM
I'm thinking about something for upcoming projects.
Having recently got (& played one game  :D of) Great Adventures in the Age of Stream (Wiley games VSF rules)
I hope to create a Barsoom(ish) set up.
No definite ideas...yet.

On a visit to a Charity shop I picked up this broken toy.
Cost 50p  (Ten shillings in real money! :D)

I think I will use this as the basis for a French APC on Barsoom.

Sit on it!  Bob.  :D

Armoured protection for firing ports added.
There are more bits of details to be added, but as I have
started slapping on paint there will be no more pictures until judging.
I must look up when that will be. :)

The gut wrenching thing was that it WAS finished in time, & photographed too. I just could not get the photo loaded.
The old computer refused to talk to the new internet provider.
The old camera refused to talk to the new computer.
The new camera (on my phone) refused to talk to anything !!!

By the time my friend Bob ( aka Flatpack) came over & sorted it for me, I had missed the deadline. :-[

Ah well...what is next year's theme?   :D

Sorry to hear you missed the deadline Pete.
I suppose I’ll still have to make an anti aircraft gun ?

You don't HAVE to make some AA defences, it just might be a good idea.  :D

Thanks for the commiserations. There are 'work in progress' pictures on this thread.
I probably have more, just not down-loaded.
