So its not finished......what's new lol. A WIP of the French Embassy in Syrtis Major. I still have to square the circle of the corbels from my mdf waste box. Add some basic furniture and maybe two internal walls to make offices and of cause flags. Lots of flags! Tricolours everywhere in honour of the 3rd Republic. Source French WWII Hotel TT Combat
Two posts in one month, not my usual form.
First the start of a French Embassy and second a little mystery.
Working from the 'TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL MARTIAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY'
EDWARD’S GUIDE TO SYRTIS MAJOR: THE LEGATION COMPOUND
19. FRENCH
LEGATION
Second only to the Russian Embassy, the
French Embassy sits in the southeast
corner of the Legation Compound. They have
built an Louis XIV Embassy
in all the glory that was France of the end
of the last century. Adding
to the splendor is the Ambassador’s
residence in Martian stone and French
gilt. The Trade Delegation is almost as
large as the Embassy, but it was
constructed in a imitation Martian style
that some have found offensive in
middle of the Legation Compound. The French
reason for building it in this
style is quit pragmatic, as they would say,
“We trade with Martians and they
feel more at home here so they are more
willing to bargain.” The French
have a full platoon of infantry stationed
here, the largest of the garrisons. To
house them they have built a two story
barracks.
Not much to show today. Working on some consul buildings for Mars. Likely to be Spain and Italy but with additional buildings and a flag change. They could be Dutch or Austro-Hungarian? However they couldn't be Russian or French due to their larger structures in TRMGS's Syrtis Major work.
Finally finished off the Human landing platform/tower. With a steam powered lift.
