Painting the Dish

The nice thing about this dish is it is so big I can use it in any scale.

For GI Joe it can be a large ground station of military communication or an air defense radar.

For the 60mm guys it can be for inter-planetary communication all over the solar system.

And for the little guys in 1/72nd scale it can be used for interstellar research.

It painted up pretty well I think.
 

TV Dish

I also washed off the old satellite TV dish.

Screwed it all down, some parts were loose.

And cleaned up the spider webs.

Then time for spray paint.

I used my old stand by, Rust-Oleum 2X Flat Gray Primer in a can.
 

Satellite TV Dish

Battered and dented, stripped of the electronics my neighbor was tossing out her old TV dish.

I asked if I could have it and she said yes, relieved because it did not fit in the trash can.

A quick trip to Loews home improvement store to pick up some PVC pipe followed.

The dents were hammered out, mostly.

And I went back to Loews and got the right size pipe. 

And I started drilling holes and screwing it all together.
