Step 8Aliens
The little green men featured in the display are 6 inch action figures called The Roswell Aliens. They were manufactured by Street Players Holding Corp, originally released in 1996 and are no longer in production. You can sometimes find them on eBay or Amazon.com for $10-$15 each (including shipping). It took me six months to track down the first three. Then I was lucky enough to win an eBay auction for a set of 18 figures for $55. I really like the fact that they are small, because it is the correct scale for the ship.
First, I cut out and painted a wooden base black. After arranging the aliens in a random grouping, I marked their location, drilled holes through their feet and screwed them onto the base. I did the same thing with the three aliens on the ramp (which is an aluminum gutter).
I strategically cut a hole into the umbrella cover and bordered it with painted duct tape to create a open hatch. The top of the gutter was screwed into the frame of the umbrella and a green spot light was aimed down the ramp. The backlit effect looks really cool.
