H.G. Wells' Martian Tripod v 0.9 at Juan Valdez Coffee: Clockwork Atomics x401

First off, yes there is a Juan Valdez Coffee shop (I know who knew). Anyway I have always loved H.G. Wells' stories, in fact they are some of the first books I ever read. And War of the Worlds was definitely a favorite. I loved the idea of the Martian's Tripods that reined destruction upon mankind. The elegant hovering ships from the 1953 version were great but I much prefer the mechanical beasts that were in the illustrated in the book I had as a child.

I have drawn a variety of versions of the tripods and give this one a v 0.9 notation as it is an unmanned version. A continuation of my fascination with destructive clockwork automatons.
