Another twist in the story. Since Spring Cleaning is all about finishing projects I decided to start new one (within scope of the original idea) and printed whole insert to yet another frame. This time Geiger’esque interior (from what I understand inspired by the Alien sanctuary as seen in Alien, the 8^th Passenger of Nostromo). What is different about this one Is that I actually finished it. Bellow you’ll find a couple of WIP photos and final products.

The main challenge in this sub-project were actual STLs. They were obviously different size than my frames, but most of all, they were designed as separate pieces (straight and corner walls, floors, etc) and they don’t really fit well, there are obvious gaps and some illogical ends of patterns. I tried to remedy that as well as I could, but in some places my miliput work is clearly visible. Maybe at some point I’ll add some wires/pipes and alien eggs to hide them.

First steps: Black primer, grey ink in kind of zenithal application, white drybrush

Step two: colourful spots here and there - I used some GSW intensity inks; I believe these were blue, purple and green. This is to add some faint colour to the final product

Step three (and further): aplly wash, I went with 'chromatic black' approach - mixed dark blue and orange inks with glaze medium and water and applied several coats of it all over the model, drybrushing white a little between layers of ink.
