Black Smoke Launchers

Description

The War of the Worlds (Eve of the War) Chapter 15, What Had Happened in Surrey.

This is not my design of one of H.G Wells' Fighting Machines but the musician Brendan Perkins design, a friend of mine.
It shows the Martian Tripods holding the tube-like Black Smoke launchers. These launchers fired a canister which smashed on impact, the canisters contained the chemicals that mixed with out atmosphere to create the black smoke.

I love the leg joints...no pivots or hydraulics to be seen, all very tidy and in keeping with H.G. Wells' description. Also a really creepy scene because of the perspective. If they turn, that guy has nowhere to go!
