How to Make an Asteroid with Alien

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating a textured asteroid prop from layered Styrofoam and for sculpting a small accompanying alien figure. It explains how to cut and laminate foam sheets using UHU Por, carve the overall shape, and apply acetone to melt and roughen the surface for a realistic rocky texture before highlighting it with dry-brushed acrylic paint. The guide also covers forming a simple wire armature, building up the alien figure with craft foam clay, refining details with sculpting tools, and painting the finished model. Designed for hobbyists and modelmakers, it demonstrates accessible techniques for producing lightweight, imaginative sci-fi props.
