All Quiet on the Martian Front

[dexter]

Here are some pic of my 1st painted All quiet on the Martian Front models.
I'm posting them here because ;
1 It is a weird war.
2 It's set in 1912 so it's post Victorian and closer to WW1 .
3 I asked a moderator and he suggested it might go here.

Enjoy the pics.

The tripod has a red flashing led in its dome.



The red tank is for use in areas covered in red weed.

Nice work. The camo in the first set of tanks - I'm knicking that (just to let you know).

Nothing yet, just stored away in the brain.  But probably something sci-fi like DZC needing urban camo (ie greys with hard rectangular shapes).

Dexter do you have a how to showing how you added your lights? I would love to see one.

There's a guy already on the forum who posted a 'How to illuminate your Tripods' thread. Or it might have been over at TMP.

Assault pod with modified green gas launcher.

It might be fun to name your tanks after famous artists of the day, as they were often employed to create camouflage patterns during the war.

I didn't know that ,it's interesting, especially as i was contemplating a Mondrian style 'camouflage'.Mondrian would be a good name for a tank.

yup, modernist painters really helped advance camouflage technology during the 1st and second world wars.

a david bomburg style one would be good, the bomburg bombardier!
