Cheers chaps 

Rushed through the 'Le Monde' headquarters to get it ready for Thursday's game. Could probably do with some small posters on the walls and a bit more dirt but it'll do 






Will they get the scoop though 

cheers

James

[Silent Invader]

Very nice .... getting me all excited for you know what 

[OSHIROmodels]

It's on it's way 

cheers

James

[Malamute]

Magnifique!

The posters is a great idea.

The use of bricks makes me wonder from where they got the water for the clay and the fuel for the ovens. The paving of the walkway does not look very reddish like I am used to see on martian rocks. I look forward to read some good and scientific explanations, I´m sure we have bright gentlemen and of course a few even brighter ladies over here who are more than capable to illuminate my ignorance!
BTW: Very well done James!

You are, what we shrinks call, anal retentive.  Please proceed with it! 

[pocoloco]

Solid job with agence centrale de le Monde!!!  (pardon my French).

Thanks everyone for your continued support

'Tis a good question 

The canals on Mars are still flowing and there are plenty of wells and aquifers that go deep to the water table. The red colour everyone associates with Mars is from the dust swept up by the massive storms that plague the planet, coming from the soft, sandstone like, stone that is common. There are many different types of rock strata on Mars, just buried under the sand and dust. Quarries for the different stones are not too close but the designers of New Victoria have tried to utilise the same type of colours as would be found on Earth to help make it feel more like home and less alien. The ovens for the bricks are fed mainly by dung gathered from the local fauna which is a very good fuel source, if a tad pungent.

That is a very profound explanation indeed that leaves no question unanswered. I expected no less. Well researched, well introduced. Good man James. Now you dug yourself a hole by doing so:

Quarries for the different stones are not too close

This is what we all like to see: Some industrial installations like a quarry (or [clay] mine?) with steam powered cranes, drills and dredgers, conveyor belts, foremen and (four armed?) labourers. Just in case you run out of projects...

Just in case you run out of projects... 

 

I honestly think that'll never happen 

cheers

James

[Mason]

No, I cannot see that happening.
Ever!

[gamer Mac]

Lovely
What is Le mode?

[OSHIROmodels]

What is Le mode?

'Le Monde' is French for 'The World' and is a French newspaper. It was originally founded in 1944 but we've pushed the boundaries a bit with the history as it sound good as a name 

cheers

In that case, I'm a bit disappointed that the journalist in one of the images isn't sucking on a Gauloises

Funnily enough I suggested to James as part of the base design it should be littered with fag buts
