Wood was actually very prevailent as a building material in Victorian times  :) even on Mars ;)

Thought long and hard about the legs and in the end realised I could not think of an easier way to make them in the shape I wanted and have the strength to support everything else.

The legs have a somewhat...ahh... feminine...look to them.  Are you trying to tell us something subliminal about these Martians?  ;D

Very impressive work and they capture the spirit of the original picture perfectly.

Hey, have you been showing my wife your computer? :o lol

Very, very nice, can't wait to see the finished versions. Old Thundercheeks is surely going to be a very happy boy with these.

Amusing; I took one look and thought 'Pierson's Puppeteers'.

They're the work of Robert Czarny, a digital artist. There's a third one too but I can't find a decent image.


We talking this one??

Not the best pics, camera low on power and very bad lighting but they will give you a rough idea.


One of the Shropshire two will be painting it and doing the base.

Yeah, that's the one. That's the same one that I could find. Too small really.

That is REALLY nice. But I have to wonder if it is some kind of Martian tourist with that big camera. :)

Ya heathens!  lol  Wells describes the weapon that fires the heat ray as a box-like or camera-like case carried by the metallic arms of the tripod.

Great work Svennn, looking forward to putting these to use.

Yeah, that's the one. That's the same one that I could find. Too small really.

This one is a bit bigger:
