Jim's VSF thread - A new beginning - Temple mesa complete
« on: 27 July 2017, 11:27:12 PM »
Welcome to my new VSF thread  :)

Herewithin will be the continuing chronicles of my VSF journeys on Mars and other exotic locals as well as Red Planet Miniatures updates as and when.

The previous 'Japanese on Mars' thread is linked below in case anyone fancies reading over 100 pages of waffle without any pictures  ::)

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=21604.0

To start is off is a large steam powered walker wip for the Great Martian Trading Company (more on which later). There's still a few details to go on but it's just about there.




I will at some point soon have a selection of photos from the original thread posted here as a kind of recap as I can't face re-linking the 400 odd photos in it.

cheers

James

Lovely work on the legs Jim :-* :-* :-*
May just the angle of the photo but it looks front heavy?
Any other pictures of a different angle?
you must be keeping HLBS open with the amount of guns on these contraptions.
Looking forward to seeing it painted, is it going to be Japanese?

Thanks chaps  :)

Are they HLBS weapons?

Yes, I bought a load the other year to arm my Mikasa neff with but they keep getting used up for different projects  lol

It looks front heavy but is actually back heavy but will be stable enough on the table top. I'll take some other pictures over the weekend as a bit more is done. It'll be for Nicks GMTC, a renegade faction on Mars purely out for exploitation and profit  ;D

cheers
