I'm just wondering what people have made, how they made it, and what they used as inspiration. Pics especially appreciated. Thanks. |

Since the Egyptian civilization and archetecture sort of burst on the scene w/o the normal evolution of society, We used an Egyptian motif sans inflluence of the Potolemies. Actually a sort of cross between meso Americas and Egypt.
Ever look at Hirsch (sp?) castle works. Look at the design possiblities for the Eyptian and the Small Alien line…. paticiiularly hyroglyps and design features. |

Oh and do not forget typiical Empire colonail archetecture. A Rorks Drit govenrment house on the Red Desert might be interesting. |

A Mos Eisley approach with no metal would work IMHO. |

We,ve used a cross between South American and Egyptian architecture. |

I used blister packaging from Toys and such, spray painted. Mostly red oxide, some light tan, and so on. |

I have built a model of a Martian Fortified Villa in 1/300th scale of 6mm. The design was based on link To see examples of the finished model – Fort KellBen go to link Regards Tony |

I have made a few different styles of buildings for use as Martian. Take a look at my web site to see a few different fast and cheep construction methods.
link I also cover other terrain there as well, check it out.
Most are intended for 15mm Victorian Science Fiction, but can be use in other scales and settings. DyeHard

If you go to my website gamecraftersltd.com and look in the what's cooking section you can see a couple of martian buildings I have made |
| komradebob | 07 Dec 2007 5:00 p.m. PST |
Wow! Thanks for all of the tips! I'm thinking I want to add some very primary colored decorations/patterns to the buildings. Does anyone have suggestions of where to find something like that that might not be obviously from a real-world culture? |

Very enjoyable site, DyeHard! Vey inspirational. And I say so while 15mm is not my favorite scale.
Compliments,
Jean-Louis |
