Ooh, tasty Mars base LT.
Anyone else read that as "tasty Mars bars"?
No? Just me then.
Must be the diet playing tricks with my mind.....

Space Hulk is my default and I had this half-produced idea of an alternative history where Nazi rocket and genetics tech leads to a manned Moon mission in 1948 and a Mars Mission in 1965 ending up with a set of Mars bases deep in uncontrolled capitalism with private security forces, a down-trodden genetically modified dwarf mining community (Hasslefree’s Grymn), unhappy civvies, random terrorism and a possible alien pest. Think Ghosts of Mars meets Total Recall meets Aliens.
But, I also just fancy building one.
Excellent plan!
"a down-trodden genetically modified dwarf mining community"
Isn't that Corby?
Now then, no Snickers here. I’m still Fudging around with the layout as I’ve finally learnt to build things to fit the storage box and I’m being a bit of a Flake about whether this is a separate series of buildings above ground or built into/under the Rocky Road. But it won’t progress quickly, when it comes to the Crunchie I’ve got a Galaxy of stuff to do for various shows and this is just a little Boost of something different. I’ll give it a Twirl in the quiet moments just ‘cos it’s a Topic I’ve always fancied.
Wispa it quietly, but that sounds like a proper Marathon. Are you doing the Lion's share? If so, you're a Star. Will the layout be plain, or will you be following a more Milky Way?

The first batch of 33 Pendraken 10mm Rebs is done. I'm happy with them and they weren't too painful. They took around 50% longer to paint than the Union infantry, but I was expecting them to take at least twice as long, so that's ok.
The next batch is nearly done and is in lighter shades of grey. The third batch will be in butternut browns and then I'll mix them all up before basing.
There was also that new member from Austria, Fritz-something-or-other......
