I think being picky about what Venus is really like is somewhat missing the point. Venus doesn't actually have jungle or dinosaurs either, chaps.  :)

The point is what the Victorians might have imagined it to be like.

On Venus as I imagined it when we used to play Space 1889, what colour the sky was never came up, as my Venus was mist-enshrouded the entire time. It was a totally fog-bound jungle planet.

That was kind of my point. Although I probably didn't make it very well.

So many projects..... so little time.......

What?!!! Utter Balderdash - next you'll be telling us that fairies don't exist either. ;)

  NOOOOOOO, no, no, no, no, no, no......!!!!! Fairies aren't real? What?! What are you saying, fairies aren't real?
  Just yesterday, while hanging out in the humid Great Northern Jungle of Venus, a whole slew of fairies and I were discussing politics while drinking Absinthe. And Jim Morrison was there.... Jimi Hendrix, too.... Anna Nicole Smith, and JFK, as well. All of us, just hanging with the fairies. Not a cloud in the sky. Seriously, someone really thinks Venus is gas-shrouded? How beastly uncomfortable would that be?

   Nice work on the flora & fauna of Venus......!

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...
