Flames and smoke, how do you make it? Hey gang, I have spent a fair amount of time on here catching up and looking at all the cool stuff and earmarking ideas I want to steal in the near future! Something I have not found is how you guys make your smoke with the colors on it. What material do you use for smoke and I am assuming you use a spray can of paint to add color.. I realize this is not rocket science but it is one of the things I have not modeled before. Has anyone given a tutorial with pictures somewhere here in the forum? If not, would someone be willing to do so in the near future? I am still considering making a static display at our next model trains show and I want to add some fire and smoke to the display. thanks I take pillow or stuffed animal filler, spray paint it with black, gray, and with hints of red and/or yellow and/or orange.

Well Mr. Washburn, you certainly have some nice things on there! Being a model railroader also I have a lot of terrain stuff. As a matter fact there is a train show at the end of this month near me and I may go and pick up some cheap pieces to use for gaming! as a matter fact if I can get my buddy to go along with me, I may have him set up a table with all quiet on the Martian front stuff with a couple of tracks running across the table just in keeping with the model railroad theme! Photos please!

I am sad to see some of the old Tripod design is dead. I really loved that old Tripod! I do, too. But I do like the new look. Certainly much more alien.

I think that would have been awesome that you were writing the story line to the game or following the storyline of the game. Either way would’ve been awesome! I hate it for all of us that it did not work out that way. However, I am very excited to read the books nonetheless. I’m looking so forward to Friday when they should be here. I may disappear off of here for a while once I get into them! What I find appealing about the books and the current incarnation of the game is that it isn't steam punk. Sure, you have to accept HG Wells premise of actual Martians existing (it's science fiction after all) then it becomes a fascinating alternate history tale.

Where do you live? I want to come to your house and play! Very nice table set up! What are the buildings made of? Are they paper? Kansas. Most are Paper Terrain. Scott Washburn has a whole line of AQMF buildings. Check it out!

I have never heard of that one. Do I just type that name into the search engine? Do I have to sign up and give them money? Imgur, yep. Free. So far.

OK after spending lots of time reading posts and replying, I finally figured out how to create my own post. The question I have is what is the best photo hosting site to use so I can put pictures on here. I noticed some of the pictures have Photobucket watermarks across the whole thing. It really ruins the picture! No offense to anyone on here, as I do not believe it is your fault. Keep in mind I am very new at this so if you suggest a site please put a link on here or something that will make it easier for me. I greatly appreciate it. mine from back in the days of yore I use Imgur now.

Thank you, sir! The shift from America to the Old World didn't bother you? Not in the least. I need to learn the composition of the British Deep Raiding Group and find a good proxy for the Martian transport / cargo machine. I love to learn more about the change in British politics, economics, culture and attitude during the reconstruction after the first invasion and prior to the second. and sun beam heat rays and grenadier tripods make an appearance.

I watched the Pendragon production of War of the Worlds. The only true recreation of the HG Wells novel.
It was so bad that I experienced a perverse joy in watching it entirely.

When Alien Dungeon went away I did buy a bunch of miniatures from other on line stores. This was more to have spares and build the odd formations.
I really focused on terrain. Buildings and fortifications. And railroad items.

Love the roads. Tire tracks and tread tracks. Excellent! Battle Front/Flames of War.

Is third quarter 2021 the beginning of a kickstarter?

Interested in a 1950’s era Martian invasion. Who makes true 18-20 mm/ HO scale military miniatures from that era?
