The lighting is great for the bar, really cool execution. The drop-down facade works really well for hiding the lights, but it also looks great and adds another neat dimensional element. Really great! The paint job on the big circular door looks mighty good, I'm not sure what else you would need to do with it.

After replacing my desk, I had this free corner for something new. And the Outpost is about to get a MAJOR upgrade!

The goal is to create a large-ship landing pad (shelf) big enough to house the BMF Falcon, the Crest, and the upcoming Ghost all at the same time.

Here's the BMF in a proof of concept shot. Can't know the Ghost dimensions yet, but it can't be THAT much bigger than the BMF.

Painted up the supports, and added space for the 4th shelf.

And now working on weathering. Starting from the bottom shelf, and working to the top, here are the painted levels. The wet puddles are watery wash that will dry out leaving a cool dirty look.

This is the beginning of this project, it will eventually get lighting and back walls with lots of cool decorative details like building facades with doors and windows and pipes and wires and signs and posters.
Here's the real money shot though!

Brilliant idea & very nice designs for your landing platforms, Don! I guess the one on the very bottom is reserved for the potentially upcoming GHOST?  ;D

Yeah, I mentioned the Ghost above. That "rumor" is what got me started on this expansion; I'm in a limited space here, and don't really want another large vehicle unless there's a place for it that makes sense.

Stripped out the Outpost's third level for a rebuild and immediately ran into a world-building version of writer's block. Weeks ago. I just haven't decided how to creatively fill the space. Maybe it'll just be a big bar? I started this new bar from Redflare Models that deserves to have a big space...

Have you created a dungeon level in your station? That could be fun.

Somewhere all the miscreants and drunks would get their lock up.
