The damage looks really realistic; how did you achieve the torn appearance?

I put it through my jig saw first then used a soldering iron then gun metal and silver paint.

Nice work with the electrickery. I don't fully get the whole scene though. What is the orange fireball on the side?
Maybe some more pics too :)

The explosion at the side is from where the Martians heat ray has cut through the gas main under the pavement.

Excellent build, KP with some great effects. This is one of the best Sci-Fi based dios I've seen for a while.

I've looked ate some of their posts and they don't even build models (at least if they do they're so crap they don't post them)
TROLLS :ha: ,I was on youtube and mentioned that I had been through Lockerbie the day before the 747 crashed there, when someone got abusive calling me a jew and a commie and some crude sexual references...So I got pretty abusive in return calling him a troll.
Heard nothing since. :grin:
