Thanks guys,
The grass is bristles from those cheap paint brushes you can get in a pack of 10 for a few bucks. Set in Bindex (surprised anyone?) then, coating the tops, the shebang was dipped in dirt and pastels to make the cattails. I added some of hair to break up the pattern. Most of the detail can't be seen because of the bad pics.
I had an idea after seeing it, I'm going to assemble the engineers on another triangular base with the same ground work and put them on opposite ends of the shelf with the control cable running in between.
T3488g, This was the Dragon kit, $14 US, and it comes with TWO goliaths and four engineers. It was well worth it, even though it's really small.
