Eli,
Use a square cross-section tube(Plastruct)for the strutsand use
pre-textured styrene sheets (Evergreen or Plastruct)i.e. diamond deck
plate, v-groove clap board, etc. for the skids/feet. It will look like
the Space: 1999 Eagle“sort of”

That's a good idea. You could also use drawing pins, either flat or dome
shape to give you a circular foot a bit like that on the lunar module.
The pin could be inserted into some plastic tubing to form the landing
leg. A drawing pin ~1 cm would be about ~ 1 Metre in real scal, which
feels about right.
