Geek Up Completion Thread

I'm done.

I tried something that came out better than expected. I definitely will use the technique elsewhere, especially on bare metal of 1/16 armor. I added some PVA to the saucer rim, then rubbed ground pencil graphite into it (Gun Metal pigment would work fine too). I can't get a decent photo of it, but it has this surface look like you'd find on a meteorite, sort of molten.

Here's the base, I went with a crater of sulfurous junk, burned and magnetic iron filings stuck to the legs, well, just because... :D

I'm counting what, 7 completions here? Great job guys. Found the Jeffs and Chad were not sporting their completion ribbon, you guys got to keep up with this to get credit. If you don't know how to add it to your profile let me know, I'll just do it for ya.

Great job, good turn out on this campaign. Thanks to all y'all who participated. :drinks
