Missile Counters

My homebrew game War In Space features missiles, as do many other table-top space games.  I created some quick and easy missile counters that look pretty decent and cost fractions of a penny.  I pressed the top of a glue stick container into a block of Sculpey polymer clay in order to make the disc shape.  I then used my various shaping tools to press the missile shape into the bottom of the resulting depression.  I filled this depression with water-putty.  That's it.  After 100 minutes of curing you have yourself a missile counter.  I primed these three black which was a mistake; the paint job turned out poor.  Instead I will prime future counters gray, paint the missile some simple colors, then paint the remainder of the counter black.
