These carcasses look great. I agree, very creepy scenery!

Thank you for the comments guys. I like the last photo with the shadows of the carcasses.

I like the colour of the raw clay but I'll be painting them up as per my reference material (my Google search history must mark me out as a weirdo now, but it's all in the name of accuracy and atmosphere!).

Looking mighty fine and spooky as well  8)

Great work on those carcasses.

Do you have access to Vallejo stuff, their Fine White Pumice is quite suitable I think.

I looked that up after reading your comment and it looks like a good product. The only thing is I'd need a lot of it and it's not cheap! Nice product though. Thanks

A shot with the curtain in place; you know the sort of thing you see to reduce temperature loss / gain in temperature controlled environments. These are the dividers between the main cold store area and the entrance lobbies.

The first shot looks blurred but it's light reflected from the plastic curtain.

That plastic curtain looks spot on.

Thanks guys. The walls that you can see to the non-cold store areas will probably be clad with a blockwork pattern plasticard and whitewashed. That should keep the interior quite bright for gaming.

I got most of the internal brickwork plasticard in and 3 of the external walls plastered last night. A smooth render was lost at that scale so I've gone back to a rougher texture. I still haven't decided what to do for the office interior yet, I'm torn between just spraying it white and accepting the masking taped edges to the exposed foamcore,  cladding it in brickwork,  or wallpapering it.

I also put the plasticard hoarding up for the signs and adverts. It helps break things up a bit on the plain walls.

I'll try and get a photo of the walls tonight as I completely forgot last night (I was watching Walking Dead Season 3 and I think I was traumatised!).
