Sky Galleons of Mars in 15mm

[Manchu Mike]

Years ago my friend Kurt and I picked up Sky Galleons of Mars at The gamestore in Atlanta at the time, Sword of the Phoenix.
Of course I was excited because it was on Mars and being a ER Burroughs fan I loved Mars. And Kurt had an interest in the Colonial period and well the Colonial powers were on Mars.
We loved it! Played it non stop for months. It was a great game and gave us wonderful memories.

But you know those 1/1000? size ships were just so small. Yet those 28mm ships I saw and Historicon and in magazine from the UK seemed too big. But recently I found a gent on etsy who made designed a couple of similar ships in 15mm.

So here is my first one painted up and crewed with Martian Empires 15mm Martians.
Next is drawing out a 6in hex grid on a suitable cloth. By Xmas I expect to post some pics of our first games of Sky Galleons of Mars in 15mm.

Very pretty!

Great paint job. I purchased one of these for a friend and I was wondering where you got the cannons from? I've also purchased the British aphid from him, another good looking model.

That looks super! 

I might be interested in some 15mm stuff. Do you have a link on Etsy to find them?

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Guys,
the guns were from some 15mm pirate project I had years ago, not sure who though

These truely are fantastic models. Easy to go together in a couple of minutes. I hope there will be a load more to come.

Sorry for the thread Necromancy.
But does anyone know what happened to the chaps making these splendid ships?

[Deflatermouse]

As far as I know, Daniel hasn't done any others of this style but they were still available as STLs.
I'll check.

Thanks

Link doesn't seem to work.  By the way, pirate guns can be had from varied sources in 15 mm: Bluemoon, Rebelminis, Peter Pig and I'm sure more.

I'll thank you in VSF Gamer's stead; I was the one who received the Aphid, and a lovely paint job he did!

Alas, health reversals for him, and others for me, have meant it never saw the use it deserved.
