Phil R Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 My daughter gave me this Alpha Centauri U.F.Os model kit for father's day. It included two 3-1/2"saucers with aliens. I put the set together and decided to do a simple diorama to display them as an invasion . They both had tripod legs but I have one in flight.

Tinplate6 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Phil, I have the same kit, they really looked neat, but I haven't built mine yet. You did an excellent job on them by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil R Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Joe, I bought a thin plywood disc and mixed hard plaster and water and adding some wood glue, put it on the plywood and used a sponge for texture. When it hardened I washed watered down paints onto the surface. if you want higher surfaces glue crunched paper to the surface and coat it with the same plaster mixture.
