![]() They came without bases, but had pegs on their feet that would fit onto the holes on many plastic bases. (These may have been the result of my attaching the arm at the wrong angle) The arms at least benefited from pinning, and there were some gaps to fill. The figures are multi-part, with separate heads, arms, and many loose weapons. The greens I used for the skin are a bit dark to show up well in these pictures, a problem with many of my figures. I drilled the heads and inserted pins for the peculiar Green Martian ears, and I think it improved the look. Note: The figures are all the same size, the pictures are not all to scale. ![]() There are a few spots where the strap detail is a bit soft, usually caused by the extra arms crossing the body. They are very animated, and loaded with decorated harness. (Not what they call them, but…) I like them. I bought a bunch of Bronze Age Miniatures Green Martians. The crews shown are from Bronze Age Miniatures. Here it is beside a smaller Galoob Sand Skiff. I recommend that you paint the rails and trim pieces before assembly, it makes for a much neater finish. It’s just a great little kit of a generic small flyer. I’ll be using it for Barsoom and SPACE 1889 both. (The ship now comes with a longer, more stable base) The original stand was not very stable: This picture shows how I modifiedit. There is also an optional section for a front gun mount provided, but I chose not to use it. The fit is excellent, and it’s still a pretty simple build. It’s a lovely kit, inexpensive, and goes together into a sorta-Star-Wars-inspired little skiff. ![]() Since this release, they have developed a 10″ and 16″ version, with similar styling. It’s 7″ long, with a bit of crowding, you can fit 12 figures on the decks on 20mm bases. This is the RedVectors Small Martian Flyer, as seen in my post ‘ SPACE 1889: Small Martian Flyer.’
