Hi all,

I've finally thrown some paint (and aluminium powder) onto the All Quiet Martian tripods. Come and take a look at my blog, and see what you think!

Also, there's an article on making Red Weed you might find useful.

Enjoy!

Fantastic Martin, you gave me pause to think.

Love the tentacles. I ditched the arms on the original model as well, and added a tube for a heat ray to the front of the "face"

The arms just make it too anthropomorphic for my taste. Leaving them off makes for a sleeker, more alien Martian.

Great job!

Very nice Martin, very nice indeed. I like the shine you've achieved on the metal surfaces – aluminium powder eh? Clever idea, but pretty dangerous stuff.

I shall steal, er… "borrow" the idea for my "Invasion of the Saucer Men" project!

Wow!

Too many tentacles… I love it!
