Dave's notes:
This tiny version of the ship came via eBay. I wanted a TV series crashed
version, but I'm also running out of shelf space, so this little diorama
'inspired' by the first episode seemed the ideal solution. Not much to do to
the ship other than paint it, but I did add putty to form a 'dome' at the back,
as they did for the TV show. The base was a piece of oval-shaped and laser cut
MDF, onto which I built up some more putty to represent the terrain. I scraped a
'trench' a la TV show, and the vegetation was assembled from all sorts of scraps
found in my spares box. Hand painted with acrylics, and all in all, a pleasing
little build that only took a couple of days.
