This does look and feel like a 40k environment. The shapes of the walls and doors are really appealing and I especially like the contrast of colors on the main entrance. Splendid ideas there!

The books look really good. I like the little gold band they each have. The blue screens look good too.

To complete this piece I found a string of LEDs to use to illuminate the ground floor.  Once I got all the LEDs in place, I realised I had two left in the string of 20 which finished next to the computer console. This gave me an idea, I added a third pipe to the front of the console and second I created a hole within the centre round screen to the other side, I then used hot glue to cover the top of the pipe and the console and inserted the LEDs into them, thus giving the console some little internal light.

I might, later on, add some LEDs to the upper floor but for now, this marks the completion of this piece.  I'll get my usual finished pictures done and posted as soon as I can

Man, those lights are fantastic and really bring out all the paint work.

That is fabulous! I think the console light was a great idea.

It's been a while since I cut some foam, so it was about time I picked up the knife again! I'm putting together a very simple diorama of a Star Trek The Original Series USS Enterprise corridor which can be used for the 90's Playmates and recent release Star Trek figures.

So far the corridor has 2 walls with the measurements of 9" x 8", the rear wall which is 9" x 9" and these will be held together using magnetic tape. The two side walls have a single door cut into both each and the wall panelling is marked out. The rear wall has a larger door cut for the turbo lift.

I have finished this section of the build by adding a couple of bulkheads, an archway in front of the rear wall and a cross beam between the two side walls.  These pieces are made from 6 mm foam board which fits into place via notches cut into the walls and the new pieces slide into place.

My next step is to apply a basecoat and start painting. Once the walls are painted, then I can start adding a comm panel, lights, panels and wall decoration usually found on the classic Enterprise.

Great start. It certainly has the right "feel." Happy to see you back to building  :)

Thanks Starchaser, after completing the Warhammer dio, I have spent some time trying to catch up on my miniature painting.
