How about the face looking something like this?



But in red and gold, of course.....



There are almost 13 terra hours to the martian day so the clock face needs to be somewhat adjusted (unless the martian hour is 40/12 minutes longer). A clock with 13 hours would be cooler but more unpractical, but who cares about practicality when you can have cool?

I'm just going to have it that the clocks run a little slower  ;)

Although a 13 hour clock is tempting...

If it involves exposed nipples then I'm out  :?

 :o :o
It is not THAT kind of club, I can assure you, sir.

It sounds like you have spent far too long in the company of weirdo's and tasteless reprobates, my good man.

Your painted finish always looks so professionally done! How do you find the weathering pastels as opposed to just painting on weathering detail? Is it easier to achieve a subtle effect?

Lovely work all round.

Thanks chaps  :)

I'm a professional?  lol ;)

This one was just sprayed with rattle cans, washed with GW brown ink, then drybrushed with a light cream and followed up with a few choice ink stains here and there.

Sometimes I'll use pastels if I want to spend a bit more time on something but this one is a quickie, trying to get it complete without it taking an age.

It's happened before  ::) lol

The headquarters is almost complete now, just the rest of the tiling and blanking out the windows and we're there ready for the game next week  :D

The clock tower is complete and I took it off for a couple of close up shots. I've also added some gates with signage.







cheers
