Any SF fan will have a subject they can be borderline obsessive over. Not for me the Doctor Who's, the Star Warses and all the rest of it. For me its always been The War Of The Worlds, from the rather dodgy record adaptation of the mid 60's, through being scared witless by the Pal film, the word perfect recital of the Jeff Wayne album and the toleration of the many comic, film and prose adaptations. So, join me in a prolonged amble through my thoughts on this most classic of SF tales.

Spielberg Tripod - thanks gawd thats done
Here its as assmebled and painted - and not a moment too soon. This build has been incredibly frustrating - awful part fit, glue not sticking and a bunch of other gripes that i won't go in to as i don't want to wind meself up. So, its built and apinted then.
The instructions would have it that its a dark grey, but one look at the DVD and its clearly metallic. Whether that's one of the few instances in the film that's true to Wells' book or not i duuno, but i was happy to go that way.
I used "Moonland Sand" spray paint for the basecoat, as i've had it laying around since i did my Blade Runner blaster years back.
On top of that i've drybrushed gunmetal and silver very sparingly.
As i say, kinda fed up with the build - and i've still the base to do. Hearts not in that at all.
