The rings were attached by driving short lenths of bamboo skewer around the circumferance of the planet and simply setting the rings on top. The rings and mounting posts are removable for ease of storage.

Grey Moon

This first "moon" is simply a snowball painted black, then drybrushed with two shades of grey:

(Maybe I should have plucked off one more clump of flock, there...)

Terran Planet with Brown Moon

This brown moon is simply the same technique as the grey moon, but with brown shades. The planet was painted dark green, then oceans of blue and icecaps of white were added, and then everything was drybrushed white (representing clouds). The moon is on a "cut"-type base, while the planet is on a champagne-top base.

Slushball Planet

Here's an icy Neptune-type planet - or maybe it's a Terran waterworld. I painted it dark blue (though it ended up blotchy for some reason - which works well!), then drybrushed it with white (which can represent ice or clouds - or both).

Red Dwarf Sun

And here's the red planet I showed earlier, though I've decided it's a star and put it on the martini glass base.

Red dwarf star

Yes, the effect would be better if the star were actually glowing - but what do you expect for $2 USD? grin
