Thank you all.

@ Vik, there will eventually be at least 3 more tiles, this one is 12 " sq. There will be loose covers for the 2 pits.
@ Big H, well your work inspires pieces like this. I like the Tamiya clears too, but they are more expensive and I am really only trying some experiments with the np, to see if it is viable. So far has promise.
@ Gits, thank you sir.

Few more details on the go.
Signage..


bits and pieces...




Some of it in place...



As always commentary welcome, thanks for looking.

I can't tell if its attention to detail or just making sure your minis are safe that prompted you to make fire extinguishers. But this is 40k, needs more weirdness in their fire suppressant technology. Like a creepy cyber cherub that descends from the ceiling and vomits CO2 while speakers blare the prayer of fire death.

Ah ha, I know where those signs/symbols came from. I lifted a set from some Alien fan website to use on models.

Great work. It's coming alive all the time.

What's wrong with black nail polish. I loved the confused looks and double-takes I got while wearing it (considering the rest of me was generally "normal" looking). It also reduced the amount of nail biting I did and gave me the longest finger nails I've ever had (could even be used to scratch with).

I even got hold of a white nail polish that had a nozzle in the lid and started painting patterns on my nails, from stripes to checks and all manner of things. They got even better looks.

That Lab is looking scary!

This is looking awesome! The the brain especially, but the price as a whole is really coming together. The attention to detail is amazing!

EDC

Notepads, fire extuinguishers... Will the madness ever end? All kidding aside, I love all the detailing you're adding, it's always the little things that keep you looking at a beautiful piece. Still needs a spilled coffee cup somewhere as well IMO!

It's so gribbly! I like the weyland-yutani signage I wonder about more safety protocol type notices (that have been sadly ignored... )

Thank you all.

@ WP, Thanks bud, well yes you could be on to something with the cherubs, LOL
@ DrH, Signs are thanks to a link from Red, as to your nail polish activity, possibly tmi, but hey what ever floats your boat bud! (can't say nothing, my daughter regularly catches me.)
@ Shas, That's the point! LOL
@ EDC, Thank you sir, much appreciated.
@ CK, well you should now by now this is madness. Got cup stains, see below, and in the process of making some doughnuts.
@ Graven, Thanks matey, going to do more notices.

So bit of progress...


Covers for the open holes.

Coffee stains..

Painted the tanks...

Stuff going in...


Well back later, thanks for looking in.

Looking amazing. The tiny little details that you incorporate makes me want to throw most of my terrain out and start all over again......

Hey cam, do you possibly use Pinterest? I have collected a nice big chunk of the internet there already with everything I feel concerns my hobby interest...and lately some really cool and even some more on the funny side of warning signs...just saying....if you're interested I could send you a link...

Fire extinguisher are amazingly detailed, what are the green canister supposed to contain?

Coffey stains.... what will you think of next, you detail loving manic

You had to up the ante with the stains now, didn't you? Oh, and I agree on the madness part. For me modelling is about taking my insanity so far I come back out on the normal side

Great work, love the osl coming from the lights.

A real scientist would cover the coffee stain with his clipboard.....just saying....although their might be an older coffee stain under where you have the clipboard.

Oh mate, that is quality, if you ever decide to cast up fire extinguishers, note pads and all the other details give me a shout, I'll have a pack off you ! ☺

The lab is really shaping up. I'd almost be afraid to game with it for fear of breaking something.

This is just off the scale - you crazy genius

Thanks all.

@ Archer Thanks bud, no need for that.
@ Vik, occasionally come across pinterest, but don't use it as such. Thanks for the comments.
@ CK, I just keep it in the zone bud, mad zone.
@ Theo, LOL, thanks bud.
@ Big H, could sort something out maybe, thanks bud.
@ Josh Thanks it is quite robust though.
@ Ruglud, LOL thanks bud.

So here we go, still not finished, but....


Doors...
Bit of quick "sculpting"... Cut some box section to form runners.

Primer black then couple metallics thrown on.

Bit of salty work, probably a waste of time but hey... put a coat of grey over it...

After salt brushed off.

Grey

White.

Sponged on rust...deep brown, then red, then orange and back and forward to build up layers.

Ragged over with thinners.

hen a sponge coat of grey...

Then a coat of Sepia wash..


Started to put in place...



And from the room...


So operational sliding doors..

Starting to look like something now...


Oh yeah.....doughnuts...


Thank you so much for looking and your comments really spur me on.

Lost for words.....

That's awesome Cam... man your treatment of the surfaces is amazing.

Amazing. Nothing else to add except details are off the wall.

Your zone is in a different universe than mine... Loving it!

Thanks peeps,

@ Ruglud. Awesome thanks.
@ Gits, probably half of it is a waste of time, but I feel it builds up the layers to give me the result.
@ Yorkright, some are attached honest.
@ CK, Thanks bud.


Progress, getting there.







And @ Vik, you asked what the green tanks are for....


Hope you like, C&C welcome and encouraged, thanks for looking in.

This is truly your Sargent Pepper. I could just look at these pics forever. Breathtaking man. Really.

Seconded, except for the Sergeant Pepper part. I'd say it was his "Born to Run". But that's just me. We all have our favorites. Makes life more interesting, the variety.

The signage is good. You're not going to hide a killer rabbit under one of those floor grates, are you?

Those Oxygen(?) tanks and fire extinguishers are very effective details.

Madness. I do not have adequate vocabulary or a poetic enough soul to give proper tribute.

Awesome.

That room is looking insane. Well done Cam it truly is the mutts nuts.

That's crazily beautiful and intriguing! Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks everyone.

@ Dave, Thank you sir, means a great deal coming from guys like you and Red.
@ Red no rabbit's but now you have given me an idea!
@ Grimdork, Thanks bud really appreciate the comment.
@ Alaricuk, Thanks sir.
@ b-tone, Wait til its finished, what do you mean, it is finished......JK Thank you, very much appreciate the comments, still got a few bits but it is getting there.

OK took a break for the day to do something a bit different, but I guess not a million miles away...




These are WIP shots, lots to do on them still, but wanted to do something different, going back to finish up the scene.

I think I am 80% certain I will not be entering this as an entry to the LoER comp. Not sure whether to enter the Ork Distillary, can't decide.

Anyways thank you so much for the feedback and thank you for just looking in, really helps me, and boosts me.

The aliens look really cool Cam!

Nice work on the Aliens and Predators.

Top work on the lab too. Love all the little details like the coffee stain etc.

EDC

Amazing work on the lab, looks like some kind of evil puzzle from a video game
