Title: If anyone needed any inspiration to start VSF...
Post by: Christian on 09 February 2009, 05:55:49 AM

I think this would be it:

Althought it does seem somewhat dramatic. Apologies if this has been posted before.

Anyone else have some interesting VSF artwork to share?

How about these:

I love the final one especially. They come from a Polish 3D designer's site which I show my students sometimes. He seems to have changed it recently and it is a little hard to navigate around but have a go:

Those are excellent!  Thanks.

I have thought about going the War of the Worlds direction for my US VSF project.

Here are some of the links I have bookmarked for Martian machines:

Reviresco Tripod

WOTW Tripod
The ultimate toy for only 300 bucks! (http://randycoopermodels.com/2006/03/28/ordering-a-wotw-tripod-martian-war-machine/)

Wow indeed! That last model by Randy Cooper is quite special isn't it? I'm familiar with the others but not that one. How the heck would you get that on the wargames table? Thanks for the link!

Before you spend the kids inheritance though, have a look at this one too:

http://www.frontiermodels.co.uk/MARTIAN-TRIPOD-FIGHTING-MACHINE-p-16802.html

At 13" tall not too bad a size for 28mm and probably affordable to get a couple.
Mind you, that Cooper model is so special it might be time to tell the kids the bad news....

I found this one... a bit of a stretch but it's a beautiful picture all the same:
