I finished the first of a small fleet of 28mm Barsoomian style airboats to use in my VSF game. Posted a few pictures on my site. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. The hull is cast in two pieces and the engine pods are seperate.

I just need to scrounge up some Mechwarrior helecopters for the rotors and its all set.

Quite nice, that. Very ERB…

Nice work, Mike!

Terrific stuff! I wish I had ever had the wherewithal to scratch build so much of my VSF collection, but I found Parroom Station and have pretty much bought the entire line. I spend all that extra time painting instead! 8)=

What rules are you playing, Mike?

Thanks guys.

Love the Conquest indians as the crew.

Fantastic! Great work.

Ah! I have a copy of that that I have read, appreciated and never played. I'll have to get it off the shelf and give it a try with Mars in mind.

Nice.

That captures the Barsoomian feel nicely.

The paint job on the polished wood interoir is particularly effective. The outer hull could perhaps do with some shading or dirtying.

Very nice.

I guess if I was going to do Martian "air boats", I would probably make them more like this . . .

Wow! Great job. Makes me wonder if I should get back to VSF…
