Mars Attacks (saucer)

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

I started this a while back for a friend, the large saucer pieces are 15 1/2" and the smaller ones are 6". I drew all the parts out in Cad, and had the legs laser cut, not all parts are pictured. i am using two part urethane expanding foam (THANKS TO REL FOR THE ADVICE). I pour the foam into the saucer cross sections and sand to shape. ive got the two smaller sections ready for Vac forming, the larger parts i have already poured the foam but still in the sanding process. so heres a bunch of pics.

Thanks for Looking.

This is awesome! I always wanted to see a large model of this! I used to have one of the small garage kits, I really wish something this size would make it's way out there as a kit.
