Since I finished the lower wall the other day, I was not happy about the height of it. This evening I added another layer of tin foil and then laid a layer of modroc over it, doubling the wall in height. I now feel it is more in proportion with Kirk and Spock.

I glued a layer of black foam board to the foam base, this will strengthen the overall base.

When this is dry I can start working on the arena floor and cutting the base to size. 🖖🏻

Good choices too. I need to go watch this new one too. I think you can see it all on cbs.com.

First coat of paint has been applied, wanted to get the arena wall and plinth painted before I added the sand base.

Mixing up a light grey and burnt umber I applied a second coat of paint to the arena wall in order to lighten both sides up, making them match.  The boulder for the plinth was also given its second coat to match the walls.

While this was drying a lighter grey was applied to fire edges of the fire pit, the coals were given a coat of black.  Dots of red were added in between the to indicate heat and a wash of light grey over the coals as if they were white hot.

The four pillars embedded into the walls I sanded down each of them, removing all excess plaster, in order to make each on as smooth as they were on the show.  All four including the center column was given an initial coat of the the grey and umber mix.  The center platform was given a second coat of a lighter grey than the first and a dry wash of the grey/umber mix, this was to weather the platform.

You and Ron have gotten me into watching these old episodes. Right now I am on the one with the crazy teenager who can make stuff disappear with his mind.

Great update. Off to share. Love that fire pit. Looks perfect.
