Ooo Laaaa!!!!!

[Atlantis]

This is the classic tripod from  Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds rock opera, the discs to which I found earlier this week, and inspired me to build this. It's mostly paper, but the eyes were made using some plastic packaging.

Hi Atlantis:

The moment I saw your Ooo Laaaa!!! I knew what was coming.    One of my all time favourite rock-opera albums.

Did the coffee maker survive?

Now you need to build the "Thunder Child".

I'm planning to do the Thunderchild, but not the traditional one, either the B-49C (my designation)  from the '53 film, or a B-17 from the 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast. Or, I may do all three.
