Planets for ACTASF

Been rather busy the last 3 days working on planetary scenery for ACTASF. I managed to finish up several planets and have others in various stages of completion. I thought I'd post a few of them here, but more can be seen on my photobucketpage.

A really big Gas Giant (guess that's why they call them giants...)

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, moons:

Those look fantastic, Tony. More comments on Facebook.

Great stuff Tony! I hope that the Klingon cruiser has sufficient energy for a HET or he should be renamed IKV Doomed!

Incredible! Some of the best I've seen. Any building secrets to reveal?

Aw, shucks... Thanks,

Any building secrets to reveal?

Be more specific.
Earth-like planets were painted in greens and blues.
4 of the small moons are ping-pong balls painted in black and grays.
1 of the small moons is a small styrofoam ball. I used multipe sized Dremel bits to make the craters. Base coat in black, dry-brush with grey.
Gas Giant: librally coat with brushed on coat of any inexpensive acrylic.
Rings are successive, light coats of the aerosol colors that happened to be close at hand.
Kh'rtis Rock: Dremel used to gouge out cracks. Surface painted black. Crevices painted red... then orange... then yellow... and finally highlighted with white.
