Here's my scratchbuild of the tripod from the Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds album.

Ooh lah,

  1. Wow, what a beautiful design! I’m not familiar with the source prototype, but I bet it’s a dead ringer! SFZ

    That is just beautiful. A great model, and great photographs.

  3. Nice modeling but by 1895 the Royal Navy was in the age of steam and torpedo ram, HMS Thunder Child took on the Tripods. The earlier navy of Nelson would have been hard pressed if faced with the Martian war machines.

  4. Thanks. Believe it or not, they're the only ship models I've got, unless you count, a fishing schooner and the Batboat!
