Description
Kind of following in the footsteps of another DA Modeler - Styrene Robot (see his great interpretation of this kit here: www.deviantart.com/art/Mars-At…)

This is Moebius' latest release - based on the Topps Issuance of Mars Attacks trading cards some 50 years ago (and not the movie staring Michael J. Fox and Sarah Jessica Parker of a few years ago). I like these figure kits as your surface is a lot bigger - and gives you the chance to really detail if you like. This offering from Moebius is an incredible work of art, but it's fit was not as good as other kits I've worked on from them. The Martian's head/face is five pieces. and the fit of his body, and parts required a lot of puty, sanding, and patience. I found the newspaper from another modeler's posting, so I copied and printed it out and glued to the base. This build was a mix of airbrushing, hard brush, drybrushing. The blood on the unfortunate victim and street is a red sharpie marker (the color looked really good!). The lappost has a metal post, and is painted red brown, then model masters gun metal, and dry brush steel and rust.

These builds are a nice break from the big aircraft I usually model!
