  …using John Treadaway's awesome method, over at Dead Dick's Tavern. Full post here: angrypiper.com/?p=1940 Check it out if so inclined. Comments welcome, there or here! |  | Skeptic | 17 Feb 2018 3:11 p.m. PST |  | 
  
  They look good, better even than ones made from "lava rock". I expect that a similar technique might be used to make rocks and rockfaces for the (planet-bound) wargames table. |  | Baranovich | 17 Feb 2018 3:25 p.m. PST |  |  |  | Oberlindes Sol LIC  | 19 Feb 2018 12:37 p.m. PST |  | 
  
  Another method that I have seen is to crumple up aluminum foil, spray paint it black, dry brush gray, add flight stand, done. |  | billthecat | 26 Feb 2018 5:48 p.m. PST |  | 
  
  I used to make sponge-chunk asteroids, but the scissors work can really be hard on the hands, and dry-time is rather long. I prefer the foil method above, but using crumpled paper inside and a thin coat of PVA glue over the surface before spraying and dry-brushing. Nice looking work though! I refuse to play x-wing with the lame 2-D asteroid counters! |  |
