Since it was Christmas, I picked up some Christmas baubles going cheap. Last year I picked some up and glued them on sticks, but this year I decided to halve them to make some wee planetoids and planets. I carved the baubles along the joining line. Not all baubles are equal, so a few shattered in this attempt, and ended up in the bin. Most of them were fine, so I advanced to the next stage. In the majority of cases, I just glued some sand on them, applied a layer of diluted PVA glue on that, and painted over that. Some of them I lavished with more attention. I used Greenstuff or Milliput to make some continents on some, and some others I covered in a layer of putty, then carved lines in it to make a fractured volcanic planet and some ice worlds. The destroyer is for scale. More to follow.
