Inspired by the old BBC series The Tripods (which was based on the book The White Mountains - I'll get around to reading this someday). I had planned to build a replica of the tripods 3 legged machine but have opted more for an 'original' design from various bits and pieces - note the golf ball, the old apple mac mouse and the various washers etc (now that's cheap!). Note the bottom right picture shows the domed city used at end.
 
Ray gun(s) - although I built two versions on Christmas 06' (the early idea featured 2 characters) I used the one that looked the best. Deliberately influenced by the old 50's-60's B movies (I always loved these as a kiddie). Note the Old English cans (tasty) which were left over from that Christmas, lucozade bottles etc.
Prop. - At one point I had an idea for a lightsaber duel for a star wars short so I made 2 lightsabers but this was never realized.
 
The alien tunnel was an unused idea for the nightmare sequence at beginning. Formed from padding off my mums new washing machine.
 
The Master started off as basic wire model and a wee bit of weird spray paint works wonders.
