How to reproduce satellite dishes
 
Okay, some skill and a steady hand are necessary to create a satellite dish from a tablet blister package. But this method gives you a maximum degree of flexibility deciding on size, shape and colour of your antenna. Use a nail scissors for cutting. We fixed it to a model car's axle and took polystyrene profiles to replicate the Low Noise Block Converter (LNB). Cyanoacrylate glue ('superglue') will help you to mount different materials as steel and plastics. Finally paint the satellite dish in a light grey or any other realistic colour.
