Thanks a lot my friends  0/

Most of the base is made of a special kind of wooden plates. Here in Germany we call it "MDF" the means "Mitteldichte Faserplatte" -> "Medium-density fiberboard".
I think there will be similar products in the us. The plates can be processed very well but they can be painted very badly. Therefore, I have  covered  all the pieces of wood with polystyrene plates.
Also the "detials" were made of small polystyrene pieces.

The black floor is also a MDF-plate, foiled with glossy black car wrapping foil  ;) This is much earier than painting.

Here are some "making of" pictures.
























I hope this "helps" a bit - and sorry for my terrible english.... :-\

It looks like the opening scene of Return of the Jedi. Wow. You have to be pleased with how this is turning out.

That is totally amazing!  When I first glanced at the front page, I thought that was a movie still.  A perfect 10!
