RE: [OT]One for Beth

HEY BETH!

are these plastic or metal or rubber or wot?

ballpoint pen tubes (not the refills) cut down and  do-dadded up a bit
might make  reasonable RL/PML for them.

might be able to make multi-barrel LMG or VRF pulse  lasers out of
brass tubing and green stuff.

also might be able to make smallarms  for the plain "joes'"/jolenes"
using howlow brass and greenstuf.

i lucked out and have a number of the  ancient HERITAGE MODELS OOP  25mm
octopoid  MARTIANS designed by DAVE HELBER. most of these have weapons
cast on them but i made weapons for the unarmed ones and heavy weapons
from the bits box.

these guys are right out of the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED WAR OF THE WORLDS,
and are  little lead wonders!

if you can ever convince NIC to make some "real" octopoid
Martians/Mertuns (including individual octopoid combat walkers-like PA)
i will be a happy  buyer!
