Martian Colonist Test Models

Test Models for the Martian Colonists

 

I've decided I like the Martian setting enough to make up a few platoons with which to play some games.  First up, the Martian Colonists.  These are the perhaps the easiest to find models to represent -- as they are based on an interwar historical European army.  

There are several ranges in production that would serve.  These models are from Old Glory's WWI range British.  

I love the gas-masks and the bowl helmet.  I painted them a Martian red, with Khaki helmets and webbing.  I think they may look a little too much like traditional pith helmets, though.  I'll have to see how they appear on a desert table.
