Here are photos of my 54mm H.G.Wells, War of the Worlds
diorama, that I currently have displayed in a local bookstore window in
Jackson California.
It is 8' x 2.5' and has approximately 45 hand painted 1890's British
infantry figures plus 10 civilians, 3 Martian figures, 7 Martian Tripods
(including one damaged, and the Martian cylinder that has opened up to
allow humans to encounter the Martians for the first time.
The Martian figures that are coming out of the cylinder and the downed
tripod are based on a 1890's book illustration. The Martian
tripods are custom made and based on various 1890's illustrations of
them.
Most of the damaged buildings are by
21st Century. The Martian red weeds are aquarium plants and fall
colored scenic terrain. The river is by Pegasus. The scenic terrain
features and impact crater are also hand made.
