"No one would have believed that in the last years of the 19th century that human affairs where being watched from the timeless worlds of space.
No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
Few man even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet across the gulf of space minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely they drew their plans against us." Jeff Wayne
I have a print & play copy of a new Kickstarter game I want to try while I decide whether to purchase the add-on. War of the Worlds: The New Wave features miniatures of fighting units on both sides (apparently they're "LARGE miniatures" - I'm not sure at what size it ceases to be a miniature?). The print and play version has pictures to cut out and use. This is all very well but the board isn't very big, even if I print it on two sheets of A4 and the pics are too big.
Therefore I need to make some temporary (not large) miniatures. So, out with the Nanoblocks!
Tripods and flying machines
I did the tripods first, as that's the fun one and proof of concept. The flying machines are okay.
Battleships and tanks
These are less good - hard to do them small and yet convincing. It's a challenge as I needed multiples of each model so I ran out of blocks.
