The rarefied atmosphere

Hiya Lads,

I was looking for this image a few weeks ago online but recently found it on my hard drive:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/tamanade/Crazyorkgargantidea.jpg

It's from a coolminiornot thread

http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-30274.html

where a chap built several gargants around the design. As a praetorian IG player I'm looking to more replicate the illustration. I think I'll be able to come up with the rest of it but I'm wondering how to do the upper levels which are white stone or something. Any ideas? Is there a plaster mould that hirstarts does that might work or something else?

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

i'm dubious about plaster - plaster is heavy, and with a model that big, the last thing you want is for it to be top-heavy. (and if it does topple over, all that plaster will shatter.)

Model railways are probably your most likely source of architectural bits like that.
