H G Wells' First Men in the Moon.

H G Wells' War of the Worlds.

The Fighting Machine.

I constructed this diorama in 1995. The Fighting Machine is a 1/100th scale mixed media kit comprising parts made from resin, white metal, plastic and aluminum tubing. To finish the effect of the diorama, 15mm scale buildings and scenic accessories were used. The 'heat ray' effect was created by lacquering cotton wool on a brass rod core, then carefully painting with greens and yellows.

This particular War Machine kit was available to purchase through Comet Miniatures during the 1990s, the kit was deleted sometime around the mid 1990s. However, Comet Miniatures are now stocking an updated and retooled version of the Martian War Machine kit, visit Comets web site for more details and prices.

The Collecting Machine.

This diorama was also constructed in 1995. The Collecting Machine is a 1/100th scale mixed media kit comprising parts made from resin, white metal, plastic and aluminum tubing. To finish the effect of the diorama, 15mm scale buildings and scenic accessories were used.

The Collecting Machine kit was available to purchase through Comet Miniatures during the early to mid 1990s, however the kit was deleted in the mid 1990s, and as far as I am aware it has never been available since.

On the road to London.

I constructed this diorama in 1996. This diorama depicts the Martian machines being attacked by the army using a battery of cannons. Both the original War Machine kit and the Collecting Machine kit were used in this diorama. Commercially available 15mm scale period Artillery pieces, Limbers, figures and scenic accessories were used to complete this diorama.

The War Machine kit used in this diorama was available to purchase through Comet Miniatures during the 1990s, the kit was deleted sometime around the mid 1990s.

War of the Worlds, George Pal version.

'Manta Ray' War machines.

Manta Ray version of the War Machines. This diorama was also constructed in 1996, using 1/300th scale resin & white metal kits. The Manta Ray kits were available to purchase through Comet Miniatures during the 1990s, as to their current availability, you would need to check with Comet Miniatures.

This diorama features a selection of AFVs, (armoured fighting vehicles), equipment, troops and trees all in 1/300th scale.

I replaced the neck of the "cobra head" with stronger metal tubing as I needed to support the War Machine off the ground by means of the firing ray, which was then painted in fluorescent orange.

The glow that appears round the objects touched by the ray, was achieved by happy accident, the film stock I used to photograph the diorama picked up on this, and was not apparent until the photograph's were viewed.

Please note that non of the models, figures or dioramas featured in this gallery are for sale or can be ordered.
