  Somewhere in Future History, I plan to make terrain for
Alarish and associated moons and planetoids.  I'm thinking to
take a layer of foam, make various size craters, including one
large one, using a spray propellant or knife (_I_ know how to
use a razor safely); paint a fairly dark reddish grey (to
simulate low albedo dust under light from M star and brown
dwarf).  Then put some powder (light grey) in the bottom of the
large crater, paint the surrounding area with thinned white
glue, and splash the powder, probably with a hair dryer directly
above, to get a "ray" effect.

(We'll do this outdoors, of course, so I don't have to clean
dust off the china.)

  Has anyone tried this or anything similar?  If not, when
someone does try it--which will undoubtedly be before I get to
it--please let me know the results.
