He speedily did his drawings and cut out a prototype, and it was exactly what I had wanted. I asked for a ship, essentially the same as their small Martian Flyer, but with a deck 1.5 the length and width. Hmmmm… How will it look at 24″?īack in January, I wrote about a new flyer that I commissioned from RedVectors. (After all, if you only have one, who will it fight?)Įven more madness, there is now a 16″ version on the way, 1.5 larger in every dimension…. The postage to Canada was the same either way, so I bought two. It’s a lovely kit at a good price, useful for Barsoom or SPACE 1889. The present crew are less sinister than most night raiders, they are mostly conversions from various Heroclix and plastic D&D miniatures.Īs always, Elves make very nice Martians, and you can buy Clix singles quite cheaply. There is a gun mount supplied for the front of the ship, but I chose the railings. Overall, the ship is as sturdy as MDF will allow, but you have to watch it when you pick it up: If you squeeze the side railings they will tear out, as they are set very close to the side of the deck. It will spread terror through my games, both in SPACE 1889 and on Barsoom. I painted it black to represent any sinister force of night raiders, whether they be Kraag Martians, Black Martians, or whatever.

The difference seems slight, but the new ship is very much larger (See here.) It’s an upsized version of their first 7″ flyer, and is about 10″ long. It’s the same kit as in my post ‘ Barsoom: Large Flyer’.’ (So if you want more of a review, or a ship that’s not a black blob, go there.) Please note that it was a custom kit, and may not be on their website – Drop them a line if you are interested. This flyer is the Large Martian Flyer from RedVectors in the UK. The crews shown are from Bronze Age Miniatures. Here it is beside a smaller Galoob Sand Skiff.

I recommend that you paint the rails and trim pieces before assembly, it makes for a much neater finish. It’s just a great little kit of a generic small flyer. I’ll be using it for Barsoom and SPACE 1889 both. (The ship now comes with a longer, more stable base) The original stand was not very stable: This picture shows how I modifiedit. There is also an optional section for a front gun mount provided, but I chose not to use it. The fit is excellent, and it’s still a pretty simple build. It’s a lovely kit, inexpensive, and goes together into a sorta-Star-Wars-inspired little skiff. Since this release, they have developed a 10″ and 16″ version, with similar styling. It’s 7″ long, with a bit of crowding, you can fit 12 figures on the decks on 20mm bases. This is the RedVectors Small Martian Flyer, as seen in my post ‘ SPACE 1889: Small Martian Flyer.’ (Although they would be great for Barsoom, where weird science was the norm.) The set includes mechanical arms and SF weapons for those of a more SF and less VSF bent. There are also smaller spiders (not the ones under the big guys in the photos) and web-wrapped victims included as well. They come 12 in a box, perfect if you want to use them as mounts for depraved cultists from a lost city. These are the Wargames Atlantic Giant Spiders, and they are horrifying in aspect but fun to assemble. There are Giant Spiders in the Valley Hohr, and deep in the tunnels under many cities – Who knows where else they may be found? There are apparently three poses in the file, and this is just one. The pose is dynamic, and could be modified easily with a saw and glue. ( three views) It matches well in size with the Bronze Age apes and the D&D plastic Grillahs, although its head seems to be a bit smaller in proportion. Gigantic in size, they had six limbs and an aggressive nature. They were also sculpting before there was epoxy puttyĮven the Green Warriors were wary of the White Apes of Barsoom.
