I considered getting some, but styrofoam is cheaper and easier to work
with. Besides, if you have a mould, everything looks more or  less the
same.

If you glue bits of styrofoam together and then spray with black lacquer
or enamel, dissolves into a nice, rocky style surface ideal for
drybrushing. For the Full Thrust player, spray some styrofoam balls for
that arid, moon-like effect.

Of course, I have something of an aversion to mixing and pouring things,
primarily because it usually ends up all over my desk, so there you go.
