Mars is 144,798,500km2.

At 1/56 (28mm) that'll be ~2,585,688km2.

Or table space that is ~1,608m x 1,608m.

Or ~5,276' x ~5,276'.

So I say, keep it coming.

the only option is to organize a Martian Convention -
or a VSF Convention could be more realistic, maybe with an inaugurational Mars theme,
and all the Steampunk dressing fetishists can attend too  ;)

Thanks chaps  :)

Never! Never never!

Or table space that is ~1,608m x 1,608m.

Perfectly achievable  :D

More to follow in the coming weeks in the form of a market, shanty town, temple, canal boats, draft animals, City Martians (they've started to be sculpted) etc etc.

cheers

I think you dropped a 'k' there...

I suppose still 'doable', just difficult getting the curvature right.

The Martian town is in the cupboard for a little bit but I have started some more figures  :)

Just the one member for now but I've got another four primed and will start on them tonight  :)

I like him, good choice of figure and nicely done.

Where is he from?
I may be able to use something similar in the Creek.

Thanks chaps  :)

He's from the Perry Sudan news reporters pack (it's in the extra section of the Sudan range) and he looked suitably Japanese.

I've had to convert a couple of others using Japanese heads and they seem to have worked rather well  :)
