WIP small update, I have started detailing this piece from the ground up. I have started with the floor and the extended entrance by etching in tiles into the foam.

Next, I will start with the support pillars before moving onto the floor.

WIP update. I've spent time today detailing the support towers by etching in panelling to the front of both towers. I then spent time detailing the left tower. My wife was about to throw out a broken folding crate until I noticed the pattern of the sides. I cut out a couple of sections and used them as light walls.

I still need to detail the inside of the tower before moving onto the second tower.

That looks amazing. Those folding basket/crate parts work really well. Do you design your etching patterns on paper before you scribe them into the foam, or do you just create as you go?

I spend some time googling Imperial architecture and then just go for it :-)

WIP update. The detailing of the towers is now done except for around the two top doors, which will be done during my final touches.  During detailing, I have not only done the outside of the towers but inside too, I have left one side of the towers loose until the inside of the towers has been painted. With the towers done I have started to work on the lower platform.

I have detailed the floor and the next steps are to make a barrier to run the length of the walkway, stopping at the small side platform and the rear platform (modelled using the Phantom).

WIP update, today I made a barrier that runs the length of the walkway on the first level. I etched panels onto the landing platform, which marks the completion of the build right now.
