Great shot. It has been a while since there's been some Mars stuff. It's not like you haven't been doing anything else though, is it? Dorset, ECW, castles, etc.

Very cool photo
Looking forward to seeing more

A welcome return, splendidly atmospheric pics.

A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.

The VSF-mojo returns...... Looking forward to more epic additions to the terrain.

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks for the replies chaps 

I've got a stash of wordy posts to put up over the next few weeks. There's also an older battle report that didn't go on and when I get back it'll be terrain and games and vehicles and figures galore 




Well, that's the plan 

cheers

James

Excellent stuff old chum. The summer break is looming and I need mojo to get my stuff ready for BLAM.

Of all the amazing work you produce, I love your VSF the most!

Thank you for providing so much inspiration!

Well, this is my tomorrow, maybe not yours 

The Skiff merchants and their trade routes

The skiff convoys consist of two or three tug-neffs attached to several tenders that carry the cargo. As many as five tenders can be attached to the biggest tug-neffs but this is traded off for a slower speed. The tug-neff can be armed with several ballistas and usually the rear tender will have a ballista along with a crew that are ready to fight for their cargo.

Sounds like we are all in for a treat for the eyes

Do you really assume there are more risks from 'sky pirates' than from dirt-grubbing robbers?

Doug

Edit: Albeit, I do assume the initial investment in the flying barges is so significant as to make any risk of loss heartbreaking.
