It is looking great Cam, cant wait to see the finished product. Have fun with your son on his birthday!

Looks super-sweet, dude

Love that room! The concrete walls look good enough on their own, adding those consoles will be the gravy on the beef!

Great job on the room. Love the addition of the partial airlock door.

Pretty strong alien feel with thr airlock, loving it! Enjoy your son's birthday!

Thanks,

@ Desubot, Indeed you are correct sir, his work is truly stunning. Bit too laborious for me even, but I steal ideas.
@Vik, Thanks bud, hopefully the strips are looking a little better though they are still WIP
@ Shas, Thanks bud.
@ Yorkright, thanks, neither can I, had a great day, nothing too fancy but a brilliant day, with the family.
@ Graven, Thank you.
@ Dave, Thank you sir, means a lot.
@ DrH, Thanks bud, fun will be expanding it later on to be either a large room with the full airlock or seperate rooms with many airlocks, but for now this one corner will work fine.
@ CK, Thank you bud, trying not to go too alien, but hey can't be a bad thing right? Thanks had a great day.

OK so keeping it light here, so none of RL BS. Here is an initial attempt at redoing the hazrd stripes, think I will dirty them up and maybe do checkers on the flooring part.


Trialling a new "paint"...

£2 for super glossy fast setting "paint" in red yellow green and purple. Will let you know how I get on.

And started to mess about with containment....


Something like this, still very WIP


And put final coat on the buttons just little tiny white highlight strip to add on the control panels...


Hopefully get a bit more done this week. Thanks for looking in, really appreciate the feedback everyone.

i´ve used nail polish for sealing decals on lego items...its a really sturdy seal...i bet you can create lots of effects with these then when you already mention the fast curing time of these...

i often mention stuff that is probably WIP and should put my feet into my mouth^^
the numbering and the other lettering looks very cool!
the containment unit...could you do a comparison shot? looks currently a bit short? compared to a standiing figure i think it should be taller than the average person...

Like hows it's all looking! Are you going to fill the containers up?

That's a lot of control panels. Are they all going in that one room? Looks good though and the hazard stripes are an improvement.

Keen to see how your new "paint" works out

Very cool display piece there cam.

Your hazard stripes look fine, any parts that you are less happy about a few chips and grime fixes most things.

Nice consoles! Are the containers going to be scattered around the flooring?

I'm really impressed by what you did with those tanks cam, you've done way more with them than I could ever have.

That's coming along very nicely Cam. Keep up the great work!

I've heard of folk using nail polish. Interested to see where it goes.

Come on, we know we'll see that nail polish tested out somewhere .
Love the added color, the grimdark of the future is less grim and can't be too dark with all the glow from those panels.

I like the look of those specimen containers. Are you going to put anything in them?

Room is coming along nicely, hazard stripes look much better. Specimen containers look very cool, perhaps they should contain some grot specimens.

Most dangerous species know to the IoM? .

A genestealer head with spine attached would be pretty cool IoM - if you plan on filling them, that is.

Thanks everyone, think I will go with a variety of specimens that can be swapped out, depending on scenario.

To that end here are a couple samples...









Oh and did a couple speakers to be placed about...



Back later with a proper update...thanks for looking.

I love the brain!

Poor catachan...

And it seems that eventually everyone sooner or later will tackle tentacles ...

Them brains look promising...and I like the last one is suitable blobby

These all look like "appropriate" specimens.

Love the Catchcan, reminds me of the old rule "Jones is behaving strangely"

Some good looking specimens!

Ugh, gross!

Are you just gonna suspend them in the tanks or fill them with some clear resin to put them in there permanently?

That Catachan really isn't having a good day is he.

I count 15 consoles ... so 15 containers? that's a lot of fun you can have, so many film references you could fit in there.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the feedback.

Would like to have a clear resin, but going to have to see how it goes.

Bit of progress....
Started the layering on the Victim specimen...



And some layers on the other bits...


This one has layers of that nail polish, blue/green, and then yellow, like the effect at the moment.


Did some more speakers...
Take a 6mm BB and put some cuts in.


Place in a bit of styrene tube with ID 6mm. and paint.


Also did some other bits to add a bit of flavour.

Added a bit of paint...

And some nail polish , got to be a bit tidier with this stuff, using the brush that comes in the pot at mo, going to have to dedicate a brush and wash it properly.


Thanks for looking, all comments and critique welcome.

That effect from the nail paint is awesome. So glad I have daughters with teenagestupid choices in colors .

Nailpolish gives interesting effects

Some real interesting ideas there Cam.

Floating brain is wondrous. Love the nailpolish. I have used nail art for transfers before (much thinner).

Thank you all once again for your wonderful input here, really helps me.

Struggling a bit at mo, but "Just keep swimming!"

OK bit of detail starting to get glued in...




Scale shot for Vik....


As you can see still messing about with the containers. Few washes on this boy..


And threw this together...


Again thank you all for looking, and your C&C are most welcome.
