The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one...
« on: 21 July 2013, 02:08:27 PM »
...but still they come!

I made a Martian tripod, based (more than) loosely upon the depiction of the tripods from the War of the Worlds on the cover of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds. I think it turned out rather well, although perhaps it should've been a little bit bigger and I forgot the tentacles.  ::)
 Please tell me what you think about it!

Very nice - although I think that Martian's going to be in big trouble once the Doctor gets his sonic screwdriver out. ;)

Looks great, but I think the doctor is putting his screwdriver away, and next time the tripod moves it will leave the bottom half of the legs stuck to the floor....

No, no, no, he's putting it away after FIXING the leg. Something about letting them sort out some Silurians...

Not a fan of tripods, but this one has won me over. Well done!
