Here's a few asteroids I put together very quickly (and cheaply) for use with X-Wing, Battlefleet Gothic or any other space game you play:
 |
| This bag of lava rocks cost about $5 at Home Depot. I only used a few, so you could create an entire asteroid field if you wished! |

 |
| Bamboo skewers - super cheap, and you should have them anyway for BBQing shrimp, onions and peppers. Just drill a small hole in the base and then glue in the skewer. I find it better to clip the sharp end off after its been inserted into the base. |
 |
Get a small masonry drill bit, if you don't have one (though, you should!). A regular drill bit might work, but it would take a long time and dull the bit. These masonry bits are designed to go through concrete, so they cut through the soft volcanic rock like buddah!
|
 |
| Drill holes in the bottoms of the rocks - Lava rock is quite soft, so it goes quick (as long as you're using a masonry bit). Then, hot-glue in the shafts. I first tried using wood glue (pictured) but hot glue works much quicker. |
 |
| Then, paint the bases and the rocks black. Then wet brush the prime color (I picked red) and dry brush up to highlights. Super easy! |
Hope you enjoyed this, have fun!
