Tripod War Machine and Space Pod
from Classic's Illustrated's version of WAR OF THE WORLDS !
This is a rendition of H.G. Wells' alien invasion as depicted in the Classics Illustrated comic series that appeared during the 50's and 60's. Unlike the George Pal film, the War Machine stalks on tripod legs, and the Martians are bug shaped with tentacles.
The tentacles for the tiny Martians were badly posed and completely unsatisfactory so I created new ones from Sculpey polymer clay.
At the client's request, the model was painted resin-buff color to match other unpainted or neutrally painted models in his collection.
