That's reeeally cool ! And I like the neat little consoles for the martians (and the seats) !  So glad you are enjoying it...  |

That metallic film almost looks like some kind of turned metal . . . interesting . I think it is real metal that is very thin. I will get back to this Saucer in a week or 2, after I finish a Voo Doo FX Lighting Project in a Big Cylon Raider... |

Martian Mock-Up!Here is a quick mock-up of the Saucer floating above my table.  Most of the Body Work is done and I figured out how to do the Lighting. Now I need to get some Special Lights so I can install the Lights & Death Ray.  More Coming...

Bug Lights!I bought this "Bug" Stapler years ago. Looks like it might make a Great Target for the "Death Ray"!  Found this cup at a Party Supply Store, Perfect shape for the Death Ray...  Got a Great Selection of LEDs from VooDooFX for all of the Saucer Lights!  More Coming...

Big Bottom!I was having a "Space" Problem with the Saucer Bottom from the Alpha Centari Saucer. Just not Big enough. So I'm switching to this Bigger part from the old MPC "Time Machine" Model. Thanks for those old MPC parts Scott!  Here is the New Big Bottom set in place on the underside of the Martian Saucer.  Here is the New Bottom with all of the Holes drilled out. I also drilled a Hole in the Center for the Green Ray. Next, I am going to use 4 Legs from the Alpha Centari Saucer Kit on the Martian Saucer.  More Coming...

Up On All Fours!I glued a Leg in each Center Hole, in each group of 5. I used Zap-A-Gap and Baking Powder for a tight bond.  Now I can display the Martian Saucer on it's Legs on the Death Ray Base.  More Coming...

Modified Death Ray!The New Bottom didn't fit on the Death Ray... So I cut the bottom out and then carved 4 slots to hold the Legs.  Here is the New Bottom in place, fits just right!  More Coming...
