Those doors are pretty nice aren't they? I need to replace my hulk doors.

This continues to be a great build.

I feel like all the feedback I give you is the same:

"Awesome!"

"Keep up the good work!"

"This is amazing!"


...but that's the way it is: awesome, amazing and I want you to keep up the great work!

They are indeed. Kill team and Necro have been a boon.

I like the sulaco doors from Fenris best though, like the one obliquely behind doom guy here:

And the airlock awaiting weathering, and completely washed out by daylight:




the OSL was.... ambitious... but necessary I think. A lot f the cardstock shulk rooms of recent editions are very focal through use of colour and my set is quite, well, grey, so these kind of feature rooms (i.e. the non-generic ones that I've been doing recently) will be heavily tinted (and I'm going to do my best to avoid the blue-red spectrum I seem to inevitably end up on).

Will follow up with detail shots on this when done as I had some fun on this piece.

The OSL works well! I like the very different colour that defines the area. Definately worth doing elsewhere! :-*

You're mad in the best possible way. This is a gorgeous build.

'I don't want to sleep. Because every time I close my eyes, I can hear those blaring klaxons and see the rotating red warning lights paint the airlock in a doom laden, crimson glare.
It always plays out the same way, with my crew mates desperately clawing at the plasteel window, screaming, their eyes pleading for help I cannot offer. Time and again I see the doors opening, the air from the room expanding outwards, and watch in numb horror as my compatriots are pulled out into the void. And then, with the klaxons silent in the vacuum, but with red lights still flashing mercilessly, the realization that I am now utterly alone in this accursed place.
Alone with those hellish abominations...'

Dude that's awesome - did you spontaneously write that?

Cool; I'm curious to see what you come up with to visualize that snippet 8)

By the way; I was imagining the room you built as the actual airlock (with the control room overlooking it), but in hindsight the two side corridors sort of spoil that notion. Perhaps we'll just imagine there are airlock doors sealing off both corridors? ;)

I envisaged the airlock room itself to be not very interesting/functional from a game perspective so I opted to depict the inner door of the airlock only. Hence the suits and tooling is all on this side. Perhaps for completion I will one day revisit the outside.

Yeah; looking at it more than once, I can obviously see what you intended. But the image of somebody overlooking the opening of the outer doors from the safety of a control room just popped up and demanded release :D

Still; I remember several movie and series scenes on the inside of airlocks, where the suits etc were stored in the actual airlock, so that could have worked.

However, the airlock can still be a very characterful objective, starting- or evacuation point! 8)
