A Martian Odyssey - a photo on Flickriver

A Martian Odyssey

There were two things that prompted me to take up Lego building as an adult. One was discovering the MOCpages website. The second was buying a copy of "Spacebase 2000" by Stuart Crowley from a local charity shop. Amongst the brilliant images in the book were illustrations by Peter Elson.

I've built simple, micro-scale models of two of Elson's classic paintings here. The first is A Martian Odyssey and the second in know in the Terran Trade Authority books as the Stellar Cow.

There's already minifigure-scale version of the rover from Mark Stafford: flic.kr/p/eAKjdU and I think that the Stellar Cow would be an amazing SHIPtember build!

You can view the original artwork on Peter Elson's website: peterelson.co.uk/gallery/index.php
