Wow!

They are simply stunning.

Does anyone know any books of his works that would be worthwhile as a VSF gamer?

I'm also fairly interested in Illustration, so would love to view these from a critical angle too.

Well, a copy of Robida's La Guerre au Vingtieme Siecle (1894) set me back £200 around 20 years ago, but it's gorgeous.

More practical might be to seek out a copy of Albert Frewin's book One Hundred Years of Science Fiction Illustration 1840-1940 (1974), which contains about a dozen pages of Robida reproductions (as well as lots of other inspirational material).  It used to be impossible to visit a second-hand bookshop without tripping over copies of this, so it should be easily and chaeply available.

Any chance of some cheeky snaps of that book then?  Smiley

Any idea how integral those backpacks are? I don't think they'll be needing walking sticks when they have flying machines.  Wink

I also need to figure out how to make them seated and using a steering wheel.

Integral to the figure I think.

Your average Chasseurs Alpin wouldn't be seen dead without his walking stick!

I'll see what I can do, but it'll probably be the weekend before I get the chance to do some scans.
