Excellent use of bits. Looking forward to seeing paint on these

I've made some progress on the walls and they now have the base colours done with airbrush panel highlights (although its hard to see in the pictures).

After spraying the bottom half dark grey I masked it off using cheap painters masking tape which worked pretty well. Then I airbrushed the top part with a few shades of blue. I thought about trying to add some fluro light sources (OSL) but its seemed too hard but I may if I find a way to do it.

Then I peeled off the masking tape and a few of the cardboard pieces had their top layer peeled off. I'll repair some areas while others I will weather heavily. I like the colours and although there are some touchups to do, the two tone colour has worked out great.

Next I'll paint some of the vertical pieces a different colour and pick out the details. Then add some edging highlighting and weathering.

Those look great! I don't know why I almost never think of masking. I try to paint my own straight lines and then grumble when they look awful...

Looking good. I like the dual colors.

Remember you can always go back and add more effects (lighting) after they are "done."

I've switched back to working on the board while I finish the walls. I added some more weathering which was done with a combination of air brushing, and using sponge to chip and "scrub" the areas lightly.

Also I didn't like the large open channel in the middle of the board, so I cut up some cardboard pieces to fill in some of the gaps, which I will have to go back and paint and weather around the area to blend them in.

I might add a little bit more weathering but I don't want to look too much especially once I add terrain, if that makes sense!

looking really nice, the walls have come out nicely... you need a nice crisp jobsworth line on that pipe though

Thanks all, I hope to play my first game in a few weeks.

Superb. This is coming along nicely.

It took a while but the walls are finished. I kept to a few colours which helped speed up the painting and it also gave the pieces a consistent look. I'll use the same colours for the walls of the board. The walls had the edges highlighted and then chipped, followed some streaks and washes.
