Keepin' It Real: Asteroids - how to make 'em!

Adding a little realism can really enhance your game.  One big thing to add are ASTEROIDS!

What you'll need...

• Lava Rocks: Char-Broil Bar-B-Q Grill Medium Lava rocks are great for use as asteroids.  They come in multiple sizes, shapes and colors.  They're also very porous and light-weight, which makes for easy transport if using many.
• Flight Stands: I use Litko's Firestorm Armada Flight Stand.  The stands are long enough that you can cut them down to the size you require, and the width of the base is the same as SWXWM.
• Krazy Glue
• Drill Bit or similar pointed tool to drill hole.

How to make them:

1. Drill a hole the same width as the flight stand's peg.  NOTE: The lava rocks are very light weight and brittle.  It will not take much force to drill into the rock, please be careful.
2. Cut the flight stand to proper length.  Using a 1/400 figure, compare height so that the asteroid will be at least above chest level of the MSMecha.
3. Assemble the flight stand.
4. Glue the flight stand to the lava rock and let dry for the recommended amount of cure time as noted on the glue package's instructions.
5. Optional: You can paint the asteroids to make them look even more realistic if you choose.
6. Create a total of 6... or more if you have a large playing surface.
7. HAVE FUN!
