I’ve added a third layer of foam board to the base, then covered the area with ball of newspaper. Over the top of this I covered with a sheet of wire mesh, which I’ve glued into place.

I’ve started modrocing with the help of my daughter. It’s starting to look a little more lunal and not a rubbish pile

 After I finished modrocing the Lunar scape, I gave it a black base coat.

When the base coat dried I mixed up blue/ grey acrylic and water solution and covered they entire surface with it.

I have layered this piece three times, each layer I have added more white to the grey/blue mixture I used for the base coat.

I airbrushed a light grey over the entire surface, adding a mottled effect.

I painted the top of the frame with light grey and black round the back.

With the landscape finished, it’s now time to work on the surroundings.

Taking some black card and soft pastels, I sketches out an alien world as a backdrop. For the planet I called upon inspiration from the 80’s. Can you guess?

A couple of test shots.  I still need to finish the sides off and get them fixed to the base.

I added a magnetic strip to the back board and its opposite to the back of the base.  The backdrop I cut down and stuck it to the backboard using adhesive spray.

The two side panels I cut them down diagonally to make it easy access for people to place the alien creations within.

What is left to do is paint the two side boards  and add magnets for them to attach to the base and backboard.

Magnetic strips have been added to side panels and 8 little magnets have been glued in to fix the sides to the back board. I have also painted a black board around the base.

The side panels have been painted with galaxies and stars, I've put an LED strip light around the base.  This is now ready for the weekend.

Final pictures to follow.
