Terror Street Pt27 - Martian Fighting Machines

  • Опубликовано: 6 апр 2017
  • Martian Fighting Machines (2 of them) invade Terror St Victorian model railway layout.
    I made the first one on 2 hours, the second one in 45 minutes.
    I found some wind-up torches in the shape of bugs that are ideal, and they only cost £2. They have LEDs but the wind-up mechanisms do not function. I got these from Poundstretcher. Then I used bendy straws for the legs, and cocktail sticks for the support. Other spare gears and bits can be used for the feet and other details. Spray it using silver, red primer and black, and there it is done.
    These I will add onto the layout only at certain times to make it more fantastical. I may also add a balloon from Around the World in 80 days, and perhaps Nautilus submarine from 20,000 leagues Under the Sea.
    Music is The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine from The New Generation of War of the Worlds.
    Internet search 'Calvertfilm'.

    Excellent addition to the set & layout, interesting to see it develop thematically, incorporating multiple tales, maybe you can do up a Victorian wharf section, loading crane, ramps, maybe as overlay, a berth for the Nautilis sub...General Rid Stump!!!

    • @Calvertfilm
      @Calvertfilm  7 лет назад +1

      Excellent idea. The only problem is finance as the club has stopped financing the build any further, and in fact I had to pay the last bit of cash to complete to the standard I wanted. So all of that might cost me a bit. I still might add Nautilus but it would be a small area if I do. Thanks for the idea.

      I was trying to figure out what to use for the body, as I knew I wanted straws for the hinged legs. Then these torches cropped up in the shop, and I thought these will do nicely. Cheap too.

      I agree, instantly as soon as you atched the legs i knew what it was . lol a fleet would be great! ( mabey an alternate reason for why the pug fell of of the viaduct, the viaduct could of been shot by one of the death rays and caused the pug to de-rail?). Alex

      @Calvertfilm  7 лет назад +1

      One of mine too Dan. This is actually a re-mix with the voice over by Liam Neeson instead of Richard Burton. Inexpensive to buy and it is true to the original. Recommended. I have the original on LP.
      Also there is a dub-mix version. Search on here. It is called Ulladubulla or something like that lol. Pretty interesting.

    • @TheMisterdan01
      @TheMisterdan01 7 лет назад

      Calvertfilm sounds cool! Yeah I was trying to figure it out re: who was narrating as it wasn't the original (I managed to pick up the double CD of the original some time ago and put it straight onto my phone). Liam Neeson narrated the live theatre version didn't he?

    • @Calvertfilm

      Lol, well Neon came in, so I thought I'd show him my work. He of course thought it was a toy for him, and had the feet off. So I wore him out instead with the laser-pointer pen. After that the Martian Fighting Machine stood over him, and he lay there asleep not caring a jot lol. Both machines (I made a second one in 45 mins) now reside at the club, so Neon can't get them there.

      It took me a while to find something to make the body. I got it from a cheap Pound Shop type of place but it doesn't mean all branches will have it. You might be able to find the torch online? Some on eBay at the moment www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dekton-Dyno-Bugs-Torch-Light-Bug-2-LED-Wind-Up-Carry-Strap-Crank-/362109709123?epid=1540210981&hash=item544f6bab43:g:h1IAAOSwa8dZw3nz

    I have to say that the original 70's version with Richard Burton is better than this one
