I'm a massive fan of the Stargate franchise and recently had this made out of HDU - http://i.imgur.com/dSa9f.jpg
I want to paint it as close as possible to the actual prop used on the TV series.

I was wondering what technique and colours you guys would recommend for painting this?
So far I'm thinking a very dark base coat, Matt spray black or dark grey, then dry-brushed with a light grey acrylic, then again with white for the finer details -
Essentially a stone effect.
Is dry brushing the correct route to go?
Cheers.
