Moonbase! Taking a break from the rocket launch..

So the rocket launch hasn't quite worked out yet. I've figured out how to import models in their entirety into a scene, however when I try to import a second model it wipes out the first. No matter, I found a set that I used to own way back when so thought I would have a go at mounting that into a space scene instead. You can see from the picture that I've finished the basic base, and removed the shadows from the rendering in order to add them to the scene at a later stage. So I've got the shadows (which are proving tricky to copy/paste!) and the base, and the scene, and it's all just waiting to be put together.

A little snag I hit was that once the base is pasted into the moon scene the edges of the model are rather ragged. I'll need to hit up a tutorial on GIMP on how to blend a pasted image more nicely into a background. Oh and if you haven't tried GIMP by the way, it's rather powerful, and completely free to download and use. Have a look here. Oh and in case you were wondering, this set is labelled 493-926 over at Cubiculus.com
