I've been a Brycer for about eight years now and in that time I've come to recognise where my strengths lie.  I like to think I'm a pretty good modeler when it comes to using the Bryce primitives, but when it comes to creating scenes/backgrounds for them, well, frankly, I suck.  I just never got the hang of backgrounds and they're always lame.

The point is, I've completed a model I'm especially happy with but I want to do it justice by putting it into a proper scene, rather than just creating a few bits of rock  for background and then photoshopping it to death to hide the flaws.  So what I need is advice and/or tutorials designed for the use of noobs.  I've enclosed a pic of the model in question - some of you might recognise it as an Eagle Transporter from the 1970s TV show 'Space: 1999' - that I constructed from reference photographs and which is as accurate as I can make it (the command module is the wrong shape but I couldn't do anything about that).

Anyway, I want to create some sort of lunar scene for it, so if anyone can drop me some hints on creating one, please do :)
