The kit comes in 4 resin parts a length of wire and a length of clear rod -
Being I want the mother-ship metallic, I primed the ship parts in gloss black.
Devils Tower got a black primer and increasingly lighter drybrushing of gray. The ground area got the same treatment with brown.
I added some green turf to imitate the surround trees and then, I felt to make it a little more accurate, I pulled up some trees and added that runway. I also cut a few tiny pieces a square stock and added them as buildings.
The kit gives you a length of wire for all the antenna, but I felt that wire too thick. I happened to have some thin styrene rod, so I used that instead.
Looking at the ship you see zillions of lights all over it including what looks like city lights on certain parts. So I went into zen mode and painted in zillions of dots in blue and white. The dots are way out of scale but - - whadda ya going to do? ;) Thanks for looking.
