Farquarson's Great Martian Trading Company
« on: 06 April 2014, 12:06:17 PM »
Representatives of the Great Martian Trading Company shortly to be seen aboard their converted Martian skiff the "Lady Lou" en route to the capital city of New Victoria with wonderous treasures traded from the Martian clans...

"Formed in 1881 by former British army officer Allan Farquar-Farquarson VC primarily to trade with the clans of the most remote parts of the Martian interior where ordinary Earther trade caravans could not reach. They spent many years in the interior living amoung the various Sky Martian Clans, their employees coming from all corners of the Empire, they made up a colourful bunch. Some say their trading habits were less than scrupulous, even calling them pirates!
Taken from the journal of Professor Ebenezar Von Stypher-Dyke, (University of Vienna,)written during his travels on Mars 1888 -1889.


"





Come and say hello at Salute! :)

Nice work Nick. I do like what you've done with those Foundry armed sailors. Have been considering getting a pack myself :)

Was contemplating it, but I don't have a flying stand (yet)... ;)

Anyway, I'm busy now, painting two more crewmen.

You do realise of course that this 'Trading Company' hasn't been ratified by the Provisional Government of New Victoria...
