Yeah!!! Lovely rust effect Si

Thanks Polux, it still shows up rather bright due to the flash of the camera but in reality it looks okay.

UPDATE

A major update as the lighting has been fitted and is working, some more items added, sign made, bit more weathering, water added to the lower wall areas. This is 95% complete with just a vent to make for the back wall.

Comments welcome as always.

Thanks Alan, the pics with lights on aren't the best but they give you the overall impression. I wanted the orange lights as they are like emergency lighting, just dim. Glad it worked okay, was a pain to do but I am glad I did it.

Yeah, have added some alien acid blood melts to the wall and are calling this done. A new thread has been made in the completed section.

I forgot to mention that the roof truss (with red LED) is a old plastic door handle. The lights are made from the covers of disposable razors with car-body aluminium mesh around them. I have also being messing using two-part epoxy from the likes of poundland etc, I mixed a bit and waited until it had just started to go warm-a few seconds before it starts to really go off and becomes useless to manipulate-this was added as molten metal from the alien's acid melting it-this was painted in a chrome colour and then the end of a toothpick/cocktail stick was used to prod the metal to give a uneven bubbling effect.
