Moving right along… next up was filters, discoloration, and then panel shading. I went over all of these techniques in my Millennium Falcon <\/a>youtube videos, so no point in re-describing it when you can check them out. \ud83d\ude09 Here’s the results:<\/p>\n

I also started work on the base. Tom Grossman of Tag Team Hobbies<\/a> (one of my Industria Mechanika<\/a> dealers) shared this cool image of the Mars Rover on Mars and since I’m a sucker for most things Martian in nature, I saved the image and decided to use it as reference for this base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started off with a 12 inch by 5 inch piece of MDF, then added thin basswood around the edge to make it look nicer. On the top I poured plaster and smoothed it over the surface. While wet I put thin sheets of plaster I had saved in my “terrain bin” onto it and sprinkled railroad talus. onto the surface for the loose rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When the base plaster layer was starting to set-up I shattered the plaster sheets with the back of a screwdriver handle and wet-sponged the smooth portions to give it some texture. When cured I took a stiff toothbrush and “eroded” the plaster sheets. Finally, I applied some Celluclay mixed with more talus and plaster sheet to the base for some higher terrain portions. Next for the base is primer.<\/p>\n
