Moonscape Complete


The base of our moonscape is made of chicken wire and newspaper!

It's covered in newspaper strips dipped in paper mache paste.

And after several days of building, painting and pasting, the lights are wired and attached!

Set Build


Building the set for Special Effects!

Today, we completed the first frame of the set.

Still a lot left to do.




Progress on the ship:
The key to any sci-fi film is the ship, which we built from parts from American Science and Surplus (99 cent plastic containers, speaker mounts, wagon wheels) and Home Depot (PVC plumbing parts, nuts and bolts).






And here's the final construction!


All that's left to do on the ship is greeble. To do that, we'll use 4 different model battleships.
