  • I finally do a project that I've been wanting to do for over 30 years. From one of my favorite novels by H.G. Wells, I build the destruction of HMS Thunderchild by a Martian War Machine from the novel, War Of The Worlds.

    Brilliant diorama! War of the Worlds is one of my favourite novels so I was very excited to see your thumbnail. And I agree, the best era to set it is the 1800s. I'm still hoping that one day a decent version set in the correct era will hit screens. I didn't think much of the 2019 series unfortunately.

    • @ScaleModelGeek
      @ScaleModelGeek  Před rokem +1

      I'm a sucker for genre movies set in that era like First Men In The Moon, The City Under The Sea, Journey To The Center Of The Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. I thought the 2019 series was really slow and a weird ending. I was surprised how it ended.

  • @oculusangelicus8978
    @oculusangelicus8978 Před rokem +1

    Very well done Mate! You should have put a light in the eye of the Alien "walker". Drilling a hole from the back would have been easy enough or you could have gotten much more sophisticated and fed the wires for the LED up one of your hollow legs and into the eye of the craft, drill a hole from the back to the desired depth, and then drill a hole from underneath to provide a channel to feed the wire up into the head, and the two holes would meet inside the craft so you can feed the wires into the head from behind after you have soldered them together. and because your legs are very conveniently hollow, they can travel down to the power pack underneath. leaving the eye painted red would have been perfect and VERY ominous feeling!. As it is though, you did an excellent Job! Your Diorama looks great and the explosion looks scary, especially with the bits of debris in the "cloud" of the expanding explosion! It really gives a feel for the power behind the detonation because you can see the entire turret lifted off the ship's hull, anyone who knows anything about warships knows that turrets from warships weigh in the hundreds of tonnes range. The ammunition Magazine would have been the source of this massive explosion, apart from the power of the beam weapon itself! 10 out of 10 mate, keep up the great work!!!!

    • @ScaleModelGeek
      @ScaleModelGeek  Před rokem +1

      I racked my brain for ages trying to work out the wiring and I during this build I learned a lot of how I would do it next time. A lot of it has also got to do with getting the model right for wiring to hide all the electronics. I specifically used the brass tubes so I could run wire up them but then couldn't work out how to hide the wires. Thanks for watching

  • @Zankoran
    @Zankoran Před 6 měsíci +1

    A better choice for ship would have been the St Louis which is available as a 3D print. It looks more like a British warship then the one you used which I'm not keen on. I wonder if there's a Jeff Wayne style tripid available...
    That album cover artwork is just one of the most amazing images in sci fi art.

    • @ScaleModelGeek
      @ScaleModelGeek  Před 6 měsíci +1

      At the time it was the most interesting ship I could find that suited that era. The dreadnaught I used is French. There are quite a few 3d models available of Jeff Wayne tripod on Thingiverse.com. I bought a resin one in the early 80's. I was never a fan of the design. It didn't feel alien enough.

    • @vegasspaceprogram6623
      @vegasspaceprogram6623 Před 3 měsíci

      ​@@ScaleModelGeekthe warship you used is a pre-dreadnaught warship. The french pre dreadnaughts are very distinctive for there hull shapes and I dont think this one looks very British either. I'd say a better ship might be some sort of turret ironclad like HMS Victoria, or perhaps the turret ironclad HMS dreadnaught, from 1875.

    To put the icing on the cake, add a transparent rod from the cannon into the explosion cloud and add a LED to it, or just paint it in some bright color. Kind of the weapons beam hitting the ship.

    • @ScaleModelGeek
      @ScaleModelGeek  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I originally was going to run some wiring through the hollow brass legs and then use an LED filament but I couldn't work out how to run the wire out of the leg into the body without it being noticeable. Thanks for watching

      @@ScaleModelGeek Also, in Wells' novel, the "heat ray" itself was described as more or less "invisible", the only direct evidence of its existence was the effect it had upon the objects it struck. Rather like using a convex lens to focus sunlight to a pinpoint to burn something. Of course, that doesn't look as dramatic in a visual medium like movie. Compromise (for a movie adaptation, I mean) have a path of lens type distortion, implying the beam is super-heating the air through which it passes, maybe even add a bit of a r"ripple" rising above it, like one might see above a metal surface during the height of summer.

    Ah I see you've encountered the problem we've long since had with good old HMS Thunderchild, the ship, as she's described in the book, is literally nothing like any ship of the time. She's described as a Torpedo Ram which were much smaller vessels but also is described like an pre-dreadnought Ironclad due to its armament, size and speed. The most 'accurate' description/design I've seen of her was Drachinifels youtube video on a prospective design.
