It was almost one year ago when I started work on this space station model!! Crikey! You can read the progress report and photos of the exterior here, if you want to?

I'd gotten a bit tired of the interior - it just seemed like too much cutting and gluing, so I left it a while. Thankfully we've now got a good collection of 40K building bits, so many of those went into the interior of this station, and made the whole process much faster.

First up was the flooring. I had a great plastic sheet of industrial steel flooring from Taniya, which was covered with strips of edging to give it that distinctive 'Space Hulk' look.

Next were the wall sections, which contain bits from model bases (with greenstuff Adeptus Mechanicus servitor skulls modelled on), gothic wall plaques (don't know what kit!), Fortress of Redemption, and the very imposing twin heavy bolter emplacements.

Final touches were the doors, made from battlefield terrain, which slide into the walls, and the specimen tanks, which are from Forgeworld. I managed to find a genestealer head (I think?) which neatly fitted into one of the smaller tanks, over which I poured water effect gunk. I cracked a hole in the second tank, to give the spooky Aliens 2 "something has escaped" effect.

I also fitted a flashing red LED light inside the ceiling of the central corridor, but it didn't show up in the photos. Ah well!

Enjoy....

Awesome, that really does look amazing.

Agree, looks great. You've done well with the limited size and resources, I think it would be even better on a scale wide enough to fit 2-3 models. Similar to Zone Mortalis size.
