    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.

                    Ta mate, my camera won't do anything fancy so better piccies are limited with it. Will try and get some better ones for when it is completed.

                            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.
