Scheltrum Miniatures Martian Fighting machine?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Hey guys

does anyone have any pics of this model? I'm considering buying one or two (maybe three) for some WOTW games.

How about these, a bit expensive but beautiful and 13 inches tall.

I will try to take photo for you at Salute on Saturday

I'm gonna be there on Saturday, I was considering buying one, but impatient.

Yeah, I haven't seen that site before, very nice martian walker, but perhaps a little out of my price region. However, if the Scheltrum one isn't particularly good, I might just get that one.

As for Cephalods, I am sculpting my own, based on the ones in the graphic novel. In 28mm and in 2mm (also usable for 15mm though).

Parroom make some tripods, seem to remember they are a bit pricey though. Monolith Designs do a Martian war machine, but no pic on there site either. I want to get three at some point, think I'll have a look at Scheltrum on Saturday too, been promising myself there mole for sometime.

I want 3 martian warmachines too!

Parroom's are 'personal' tripods, only small (comparatively), bit pricey, and with the postage and customs...
Monolith's one is very nice, there's a pic on the colonel marbles VSF conveyances page. However, I think it is out of the production, IIRC, the company doesn't exist anymore, but the website remains.
Scheltrum are a nice option, I was wondering if there is no photograph for copyright reasons? I'll get one at Salute along with the mole which I too have been promising myself for a while (I also want it for Panzerfauste).

Chaps,

I bought a tripod from Scheltrum a couple of years ago and while some of their stuff is good (I buy bits regulalry) I'm afraid the tripod I bought went straight into the attic unbuilt.  In my humble opinion it's very basic so you might want to have a look before you buy. If I recall there's isn't a model on display on the stand so you'll have to get an idea from the bits in the bag. Saying that it could form the basis of a decent tripod but you'll have to do some work on it, I haven't got the time at the mo.

As for the Monolith tripod there's a pic here near the bottom of the page:

Also, have a look at this page under the model section, there's some crackers there:

I'm a huge fan of the book and in my opinion this is pretty close to what a WOTW tripod should look like:

True but I have to admit to being Jeff Wayne fan I'm going to see the stage show in December.

I have two of the one Elysium linked to. One day I'll build them, or accept defeat and trade them...

I want 3 martian warmachines too!

If you follow the Thunderchicken rule of thumb I reckon that is approx. 1.5l of pop you will need to consume then

(apologies to all of you who will not get this joke)

     Git!

No hijack intended but a few links to that classic three legged walker as well as a few others, enjoy !

We saw the stage show a couple of years ago - it was very good.

Hello all,

I have just finished casting up ten of my tripods for delivery to Eureka. Also lots of my cephalods have been cast up too.

Here's pictures if you missed them!

Had a look at the scheltrum one, it's a good starting point, but would need a lot of work.

I'd love a Eureka one, but postage from Australia is hell and Customs are bastards. It would be cheaper to get the big Jeff Wayne stylie one, or make my own!

Heres a partial built tripod im constucting for my asteroid game:



Still a long way to go

Could you post a heads up on this forum when it's available for sale? I've been waiting a long time for these awesome tripods of yours
