No outbreak of tentacles or eldritch dreams yet, so I think I'm safe. So

I don't recall that I ever put anything up on the web about the Mars
project; it was right at the tail end of my prior involvement in 15mm SF
in
the early/mid 2000s before I more or less stopped gaming for a few
years.

I'll probably be selling off my old non-Mars-themed 15mm stuff at some
point this winter. If anyone is interested in a couple of platoons of
mechanized NAC infantry from Jon's old, old production line, let me
know.
Lovely figures, as good as anything else I've seen on the market, a bit
skinnier than most of the current GZG lineup. Two platoons fully painted
with a few converted figures, a platoon or two of IFVs converted to
hover-IFVs from Rocco 1/87 Marders, and at least another two platoons of
unpainted figures still in their baggies. I think I still have another
four
unconverted Marders, as well. The plan was to do a full mech inf company
with supports eventually. Moving them on because the non-suited figures
and
hover vehicles don't fit with my vision for Project Mars!
