Thought I would share some pics of this build. Not crazy about the film, but I love the design of this beast!







The base is pretty cool

Very nice Robert, nice weathering too. I also spy the Seaview in the background...8 or 4 window version?

Yep, 1/128 scale. This is a favorite to turn into a RC version.

That's excellent Robert! It combines War of the Worlds with a 'Queen Alien' feel.

I have been looking on there for the last couple of years and never come across one , cheers mate although I'm going to see if I can get one at Telford , might even pick it up cheeper because every time I see something that's quite rare I buy it and then see one for less so I'm going to see what happens but thanks for the link

What I really want is the Jeff Wayne's version

Fantastic looking robot...creature...thingy, you're right, it wasn't the best film but obviously that's because you didn't do the models for it!

I liked the film in fact I like the whole wotw genre I'm reading the book again for God knows many times , what let the 2005 movie down was Tom cruise with his lopsided wooden acting lol but I liked it because it did sort of follow the book

I want to see them make the book it would be so much better

Looks great thought must get one untill i saw the price!.anyone seen the stage show i am going in dec.

I've got the stage show on blu ray and it's fantastic but I think it would be even better live
