Good pic of War of the Worlds cylinder
« on: 04 May 2013, 07:52:52 PM »
This is EXACTLY how I have always imagined the cylinder on Horsell Commom. To be really really picky, perhaps it should have a bit more earth thrown up around it to be true to the book but nevertheless it's still a cracking pic.

Don't!

well, the cylinder hit the ground diagonally, and all the ground is on the other side, of course! :)

I like that. It really captures the feel and the era.
Great stuff.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

There's a bit of ABS pipe at work that might suffice with suggested size in that photo...  ;)

I hadn't seen that version before.

The tripods look interesting.
Don't suppose you have a clear pic of Martian machines by any chance?

Is this the same lot who already did a movie set in the victorian era? Or a new lot, or did they release their film again???
