Although I've already posted this on the Fan Work page, I thought I'd post it here to as it seemed an appropriate thread. My first Fighting Machine concept.  |

hhmm tentacles will never be part of this fighting machine! It's already starring in a movie. The movie was low budget with a time restriction so tentacles were not possible anymore and not in the script anyway. The martians had 4 tentacles  |

I agree, this thread should have its own section. One of my own favourite illustrations is from the old Heinemann publication of the novel which can be seen at drzeus.best.vwh.net/wotw/illus/heinemann1.gif On the positive side, the FM has the "fishermans basket" for the collection of human lunch, and HGs description of the articulated joints as having no fixed pivots. Also you can imagine the head turning like the head of a man. Rarely featured on many depictions, is the inclusion of the steam jets used to turn the black smoke into the black dust. My critisisms on the other hand are, the heat ray generator is held by tentacles, not the "arm" described at the Shepperton showdown, and the legs in their trestle design look a bit too "human" made. The lack of feet would be nothing but humourous in the boggy fields of Surry! I have a pastel picture that I did many years ago using the general feel of Mcgills otherwise inspiring illustration that I will scan for all to see eventually. It depicts the journalist and the curate hiding in the hedge watching the FMs firing the smoke cannisters within the great arc of tripods about Sunbury. I remember that one and I was impressed the originality of the legs! |

It is a brilliant picture. I still have a copy of it framed on the wall.
