In the summer of 1878, the British Empire landed the first space craft "Thunder Child" on the surface of Mars. The inhabitants of the planet remained hidden and undiscovered during the mission in their underground shelters. The Earth ship left Mars and it's harsh environment behind never to return. The Martians on the other hand viewed, this as a prelude to invasion. Slowly and surely they drew their plans against us. Twenty years later in 1898 the Martians invaded earth. In a strange twist of fate, it was the British Navy's H.M.S. Thunder Child,an ironclad ram,that was destroyed in the Battle of River Blackwater while protecting a fleeing civilian convoy. The original Thunder Child now resides in the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester,England.
Now that's behind us lets move on. First I want to thank J P MORGAN for sending me a particular part for this build that inspired me and got me up and running. More on that later. I'm wanting to try my hand at this steampunk thing. The styling is all over the map so I narrowed it down to something along the lines of Jules Verne styling. Follow along and lets see where this goes.
I started with a 3 inch x 26 inch mailing tube I picked up at Walmart for two bucks---a couple of coats of filler and some primer and we're ready to go----
