One of the real skills of commercial model and prop making is know all the corners you can cut, and things you can reuse.

To take an example from Aliens, the ship is only seen from one side, so the model only has one finished painted side, and the interior sets scavenge loads of bits and pieces from computer cases and whatever.

You also shouldn’t underestimate the tradition of hiding Easter eggs in models and sets.

A good Belter never wastes anything.

they used a Thule or Yakima (don't remember) car roof box (something like that) https://www.thule.com/en-us/cargo-carrier/car-top-carrier/th... as a casket :D

Yeah that one was a little bit too obvious IMO. A bit immersion breaking
