Couple of in progress shots with detail being added.  Sorry about the quality of the image will try and do something with these.  Decals didn't take long to make up and are on "white" decal paper.  I want to leave a reasonable amount of dark areas.  I could have painted them but as I had to make images anyway I thought why not.  It also keeps the markings consistent.

Currently waiting for wife to get out of bed (oh for the joy of daylight saving time) so can print off more decals (hazard chevrons and level markings for the ladder piece) to get this one ready for varnishing


and

Amazing!

Amazing!

Agreed !
Half of me wants to see it finished NOW !
The more realistic half wants you to take as much time as you need, Si.
Can't wait though !
Cheers - Phil.

Very nice Si 

Looking good.

Great ! 

Looking forward to see more!!!

Love the transfers, superb stuff!
Are you going to do melted floors at any point " Looks like someone bagged one of Ripley's bad guys here!" 

Sundays and sharp implements....maybe it is an age thing.  Deciding to press down on the scalpel to make an mark on the plastikcard I am using for the walls for some reason forgot that the sharp side was uppermost.  Result more second skin applied and no TLC this time round.  SWMBO muttered about once is an accident, second time.....

I have now made up a couple of decals for hazard markings which just about go on but need a quick coat of Microsol to fold over




I am rethinking this as I go (because I am lazy) and secondly while meandering down passage ways is fine to a point, I actually want something to investigate or fight your way out of.



I have one more this size (7 x 7) and two which are 7 x 4 to build.  They are interlinked by the corridors already made up but I need four 2 length corridors to join properly.  As the 7 x 7 took about an hour to put together including cutting out the pieces I think I can catch up my plan for this quickly

I have modified some of the earlier items like this one as I try new things out.


Once the four building blocks are done then it will be internal terrain items.  I have ordered the alien boxed which hopefully will arrive tomorrow as "she" is out and I can sit in front of the TV with the pause button and make some notes.

I want to try and get half the building blocks done before order 4595 arrives and diverts me off to paint figures

Si

You know what?

DO WANT!!

Haven't got as far as I want with this one.  Postman hasn't arrived so have only done "generic" bits so far.  Changed the manufacturing process slightly Floors, Walls, End Pieces then add the side blocks as I couldn't get the walls to stay straight.

This is all that I have done so far (inch scale on the cutting mat)


Decal sheet made up for tonight.  SWMBO appears quite happy for me to sit in the Living room sticking these on as it doesn't require sharp implements  only safety scissors which I can be trusted with apparently


I quite like the font that I found


Not too sure about the bigger decal just yet, but I will finish off the whole hab module first.  I need to decide what I am going to do for the internals.  Probably go for a "magnolia" or similar neutral colour


Time to go as postman has just arrived possibly with package for me

That seems awesome! with the logo of the Wayland utani also!   so great men!!

Are you going to make the space jockey too and his spacecraft?

If you want the floor plans from the classic 'Aliens' The Boardgame from the 80s...

Or how to waste an evening...

Or the last 30 minutes, what a laugh 

These are looking fantastic, really impressive.

This mornings discussion with my youngest was that we should limit the "corridors" to represent things like airducts etc and have larger room units to game over.  After browsing the net etc I sort of agree with him.  The flash game plus shots from the "Aliens" boardgame seem to drive me to bigger rooms and It is easier to build a room than work out a connecting set of corridors.

Camera has gone with the eldest skiing so no shots for two weeks while I get some more ideas (and plastic card)

Also any suggestions for Sentry Guns in this scale ?
