Does anyone know if there's a kit of the Fighting Machine from Jeff Wayne's musical version of War Of The Worlds?  Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

The only kit I know of from the Jeff Wayne version is the Handling Machine from Monsters in Motion

Check out comet-miniatures.com  They show the fighting machine as well as the Martian handeling machine. Price given is ƒ29.50 for each. (approx $52.00)  I havent found a US retailer yet.

  Jeff Wayne is working on a CGI movie based on the album. I dont remember the web adress but I saw some test shots of the fighting machine walking....pretty cool! Try googling.

 

 

Man these blades are sharp....... Where's this red stuff coming from????

Thanks for the info.  I went immediately to Comet Miniatures web site and found both the tripod and the handling machine.....just what I was looking for.  I've seen the CGI version that you mentioned and can't wait for the release!!  Looks like it'll be a good movie!

Thanks again!

I dunno... I favor the version that was featured in the old Classics Illustrated Comics version from the 1950s, all chrome and modern.

Sort of an "art deco" Martian, eh?  Big Smile [:D]

I bought both of these machines and they arrived last week. They are pretty rough castings. Both the metal and resin. They look like they will be cool when finished though.
