We need some more Martian terrain...

Really? Really really? Isn't it time to move on, James? Before addiction becomes obsession?

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

Perfectly achievable

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.

Looking good Jim

Some very interesting shapes

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

The Anglo-Japanese Commission for Martian Expansion...

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

cheers

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

cheers

What a splendid idea.

He's come up a treat.

Very nice. The Venetians aren't going to like this
