# Meh, apart from the gun, it's a close match
the uniforms were introduced in 1902 and the leather equipment they wear was introduced in 1903

# still do-able
if you desaturate it, then colour it, it will be uniformly coloured

I like Americans, but they won't be in this film, not after gashing up the last two big versions.

I'd love to see the warship (Thunderchild? Pretty certain it began with Thunder) ram and destroy one Tripod, and almost take out another
