Hey all, this is my first attempt at large base scenery, it's made with sprues, a coke lid and some stereo wires i found, also a bit i found in my box
it's probably lacking alot but that's why I'm posting it here!

That looks really good. I particularly like the staining next to the break in the "pipes".

If you want more ways to make it spiffier then maybe add in hazard markings or signage. The floor looks a bit open flat and seamless for a metal construction but if you paint on some plate edges or something, or hazard stripes, that might help break it up a bit more. Maybe check out pictures of carrier flight decks and factory floors for inspiration?

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

Thanks for the feedback mate, i was thinking it was lacking something but wasn't sure, i bet the finer details are it,

I think it looks pretty good. I have to echo flinty, it does look a bit flat. Great job at a first attempt! Check out my gallery for some stormraven bases. Creative use for a coke bottle top!
