You shame me.  And frighten me.

The Tripod movement style is particularly interesting.	I'm not entirely

certain how they could film that accurately and not have it look goofy, 
though.  But it sounds like the Major General's source	did a pretty
good 
job with the legs, at least:

...if not in other particulars.

As to the other bits...were I more ambitious, I'd want to start trying
to 
scratchbuild some of these things.  Sadly, the ambitious side of me has
lost 
out to the more realistic side, which realizes that I really don't have
time 
or space for ANOTHER project that I'll never quite get around to 
finishing....
