Been working on this piece from two angles. The first, I've base coated each facade, the walkway and then got carried away painted the front of the frame.

The second, I've started scoring panels into the  back wall of the landing pad. The battery enclosure for the walkway has been turned into vent with a couple intake pipes.

I've reduced the width of the landing platform and then finished today by making three load bearing braces for the tower side.

This just gets better and better. think it would support the weight of the big Falcon? Man, so cool. The backside of this is awesome too. Great way to hide the battery pack.

I haven't got one nor would I like to test that theory lol.

Finished etching the load bearers of the platform with two different designs. Added piping, etched plates onto the platform.

I found a packet of parasol lights, where I've added them around the first floor and as lights on the platform. Which to be honest I'm not 100% sure about:
1) Because use they don't match the first set of lights.
2) I've tried to spread the 20 lights out between the two sections and it doesn't look right. (I get the lights from Poundland which at the time of this writing under lock down is still closed).

I might add another layer of foam to the platform to cover the holes made with the lights and add all the lights to the under side of the platform pointing down?

I can see what you mean about the lights not matching. Think I would get a set to go with them for the top floor. Then, you could use all of that set of lights you have and perhaps even put em behind things like this:

I could so see some of those on top of your landing platform.

Thanks the link Tamer that's a great idea.  Before you sent that link I have purchased these:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Strip-Light-USB-Powered-RGB-Multi-Color-TV-Backlight-Lighting-With-Remote-5V/264514734380?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=564317864840&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I thought I could have two strips on top and two underneath, plugged into a £1 USB power pack built into the underside of the platform.

Using the same metallic paints I used for the lower floor, I set to work on the upper level, walkway and the merchant stall.

You are definitely bringing this one home. Just nice paint work. I love the modular roll this has. You can one small display or one row or two rows. So cool. Looks like you have a good handle on the lights too.

I've finished the upper level facades by dry brushing each piece.

The fascia, underneath of the walkway and all supports, I have airbrushed metallic grey with a touch of arctic blue in places. Also adding a layer of arctic blue along the front.

Wow this looks good. Can't wait to see it all done and populated. Definitely one of my favorite projects you have done.

Using the same metallic paints as the reverse side, I've base coated platform side.

With the base coats done on the platform side, I made up a dark brown wash and painted inside all the recesses.  When it had dried I dry brushed over the side.

On the reverse side, cutting up some cable and adding it as decoration. Along with adding a few more posters to both sides.

I just need to paint the platform and add the strip lights to both sides before declaring this piece complete.
