Got the doorway painted and a bit more stonework done today.




There'll be a green metal doorway on top of the brickwork one and the aforementioned railings  :)

Somebody has to ask.......whats bigger?.....the wizards tower or the docking tower?

What about breaking up the large expanse of brick with something? Maybe some stone heraldry or something?

Jeepers, what a big bugger.

Better not not give Malamute any involvement with the tower in games - he won't be able to reach the top  lol

Belated thanks chaps  :)

Seeing as the Martians are taking off again I thought it would be good to spend a little more time on Mars with the various things in this (rather stupidly large) project.

I've been working on a steam crane for release and as on pages 89/90 I'm carrying on with the idea of having one on a train bogie. The steam crane will get a commercial post once it's finished (very nearly there) but for now I thought it would be good to get the sketch version painted and on some painted rolling stock for your pleasure  :)

It's a Fairbairn crane and there would be lackeys on hand to move the crates etc into place.






More rolling stock to follow soon hopefully  :)

Somebody has to ask.......whats bigger?.....the wizards tower or the docking tower?

The wizards tower in height but the neff tower in volume  :D

Some decorative stone work is a good idea, fancy doing some?

cheers

James
