There were a bunch of excellent celestial phenomena at the Newcastle event a few weeks ago (only saw the pic as i couldn't go) and i've been meaning to make some for a while.
A few steps later these have developed a bit...
After some initial assemble i hit them with some black spray paint (which pock marked the styrofoam interestingly - will leave some of it there) and then some texture paint.
The white is acrylic filler 'paint', making some pocked areas smooth and smooth areas rougher. Mainly covering construction holes, rough joins, glue patches and gaps.
Should be able to whack another coat of texture paint on it this evening then do some washes and shades over the weekend.
The connecting sticks need solid (as matt as possible) black. and the black bases will get some dry brushing and paint speckle.
Finally, the edges of the bases will have a coat of 'thunderhawk blue' (or approximate equivalent) to more easily denote the bounds of the phenomena.
Just as planned...
As usual pics are a little disappointing, the greys and brown are a bit more nuance than the camera depicts. Should look fine on the table.
Until next time...
