In regard to the complete, main model, Dykstra later added in somewhat more detail, "This was about a six-foot long model, and it was an interesting technique we used to create it. We used ACID-ETCHED BRASS. The reason we used this acid-etching technique was, that it gave us very square edges. And square edges in fact are a dead give-away on miniatures. If they are not square, if they're round, then you get the sense that the scale of the miniature is not what it's being represented as."
