Thanks Gits, much appreciated.
Repost for page turn...
Thank you all.
Ok handrails...
@ Josh, thanks and no worries here we go I think...
This is the state of it as was, the previous colours are just the results of washes applied above and spread out to dry, for this piece I am also aiming for the "basement's basement" feel i.e. all the debris of a billion soils finds its way down here, don't quite want to be hip deep in it, but clean floor it ain't.
I don't mind the various stains, I wash over them with a deep grey...
Whilst it is still very wet I sprinkle bi-carbonate of soda into the wet paint, and add a few drops of very watered down PVA over that....
You can see this is very wet, the trick is let it dry naturally. But whilst it is still wet I add some spots of superglue.....
Look like fungus or chemical stains to me....
Here are a few other shots...
Hope that helps Josh, this set is a bit more specifically dirty floor, will have final shots up later once it is all dry.
Thank you all so much for your comments.
Here are a couple quick pics of it after a bit of drying time, I really like the crusty feel myself.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the tutorial. I don't build a lot of urban terrain, and I pretty much never base what I build. I'll have to give the baking soda/PVA thing a try.

Handrails are going to finish the piece off nicely I reckon.
I like your tutorial as well, I've recently been using the PVA/Superglue trick to make zerg creep bases... never thought of using baking soda as well... will have to do some experimentation.

I like that it looks like as if someone or something was dragged over the ground there...the fungus pva/superglue looks frighteningly convincing...love all these details...
Will there be hazard stripes on the handrails or would that be too much then...? Can't really find an answer for that myself...

Thank you all.
Just a quick drop in to talk paint.
Was a little discussion on CommissarKhaine's excellent plog ( https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1470/266318.page#9802210) about GW changing the paint on him.One of things I do is make batches, large batches. Now as I have said before I am not a good painter, and even worse when it comes to technical stuff. I do most of my mixing by eye, and have never writen down a paint recipe in my life, however from my early days I knew that if you are going to be painting up any quantity of something make enough paint to cover all, here are examples of my current batches...
Working from top left, that's a large jar of my homebrew Ryza Rust, made using Daler Rowney Acrylic, it is a lot of initial investment (£15 / 400ml) but it lasts and lasts and the quality is just brilliant. Then a jar of homebrew Angrax Earthshade, made with brown, black , and a hint of purple, and made mostly with Pledge Polish. Then Large Jar of Verdigris blue green.
I am going to be using a lot of these over the coming couple months, got another board worth of scenery for twinner to do and want to do the necromunda stuff.
The smaller jars are the washes I generally use a lot. It just makes sense to me to make batches rather than trying to mix it each time. Of course you could just buy the paints, properly, but the way I use washes quite often it would cost me a fortune. This way I am pennies compared to pounds.
Next is a little find...found this in the nail art section of the local pound land....
You apply it with the thin nozzle on the bottle, It is a really thick paint that does not shrink as it dries. Here is an example of how I am using it.....
Brilliant for applying weld lines and at a pinch rivets, though I am not to happy with the rivets. Also great for the lead work on stain glass windows, and I have used it several times now as "liquid GS" always promised to be, a nice gap filler for smaller cracks etc. Seriously folks get a pot and try it out.
Lastly spoilered for the squeemish, a reference pic of scare tissue for you....
Back later with modelling update, thanks for now, hope this is of some help to someone.

Oi...my sister has scars like this on both hips...dislocated hips and bone as a wee baby...so the docs had break and reset every thing...she was also in plaster...  why aren't you then?
Making your own paints/washes is a very good thing, very economic!
In the spirit of the great shasolenzabi I also worked with puffy paint and lately with pva to make rivets...with great success. Tho I don't use the muzzle that comes with the bottle but now a syringe instead...steady hand and lots of rivetzen and you get quite some decent and quick results...

The plate and pins, I suspect, obviate the need for a cast. There are things you can do to reduce the scarring, Cam. You could look into that, if you want.
Daler Rowney makes quality stuff. I have a set of the inks(?) but I never remember to use them.
Intriguing find for the nail art. I'll have to look out for that.
The floor does have that old warehouse look, which is the perfect fit.

I really appreciate your detail bitz like posters, scattered debris, etc. It forces the scale perfectly and tells a story as it creates the atmosphere of your table. The weathering is well done and you've maintained a healthy balance between "too much" and "way too much"

Thanks all. wonderful to hear from all of you.
Spent a little time today on plating up the next project...
That's 3 sides done, might do something different with the "front".
Carved this for the back, going to mold and cast it I think...
It's about 9cm across.
Thank you all so much for looking in and commenting, means a lot.

That "foot" piece is on project I really crave to see more work done on...i think it is a great project, no pun intended...it is such a big canvas for all your graffiti ambitions...and I am eager to see what other details you come up with...sleeping bags in the tunnels? Rope ladders?...
Man...you always have the best ideas that makes oneself instantly want to copy your stuff...and feel bad about as then we are just mere copycats and feel as if we 're empty...:(
As for the aquilla...*drools*

That' s a serious amount of paint you got going there Cam, so gonna loot that idea... Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice... Gonna try that nail art thingy as well, nice finds!
I can't wait to see all the great stuff you're gonna cook up for that piece of hive, I always love how you manage to capture the feel of 40K in your pieces. I love pouring over them and admire all the littler details, whether it's mould or posters
You're a proppa skarboy now, hope it heals up nicely!

Cam, it's okay to drink decaffeinated coffee.
I'm guessing there will be much rust? Or verdigris? Either will look crackin' (That's the British term, no?)
Now, C&C time. Yes. It's the exposed foamcore edges. A peeve of mine. You need to cover them.
Here is quick how-to I did on a different and soon to disappear forum. It is really simple. And well worth the effort.
Hammocks? Very clever. I cannot wait to see more. So maybe one more cup of regular coffee

Yessss sirrr! hammocks! that´s a spiffy idea! the tubes probably collect a bit of damp water every now and then, thus sleeping a bit more levelled is making it very convincing!
verdigris looks very nice too!

Wow, that Necromunda skull cast is amazing! How much you selling them for?  The interior of that leg/strut is brilliant. I just know by the time this is done everyone will be blown away with the detail and extra effects that you always put in to everything, I literally don't know what to expect next with it!
