Land of the Giants "Spindrift" space ship DONE !

I bought this kit just something different to do. When I started it I felt just putting it on the plastic stand would be lame. So....... I decided it needed to be part of a small diorama. Here then are photos of the start of it. No pics yet of the space ship as it is drying in the garage. I started with a base from Hobby Lobby and it was too large so I cut it in half. I then stained and cleared it. Next I mixed up some Celuclay and applied it to the base as the ground work. It has been given a base coat of dark brown. It will be dry brushed with a lighter color and them some grass and rocks will be added. I also made a wall from balsa wood for the back but forgot to take a pic of it. It was made from some thick balsa and then covered with spackling and painted. The tree stumps were carved from more balsa wood and then painted.

Thanks men. There is no scale indicated on the box but it is pretty small, only about 7 inches or so. As for the interior the original did not have one. This version does have one from a different company. It is just punch out card stock that is better than nothing I guess but you can't really see inside anyway. I did install it nevertheless. Having a bit of trouble with the decals right now .
