Dude.. that's just bloody awesome. And I honestly love the old school look.
Thank you Greyhart.

Necromunda Terrain. A single raised deck, for better handling of bridges and getting some room to get to figures on the upper levels.
Classic bulkheads with the decks replaced with plastic card, googly eyes, buttons, granny grating, bits and boobs, even a few old posters or parts of posters.

Never in all my days have I seen a better use for a cheep plastic cup lid. Bravo, that is proper hobbying
Yes, the cup lid rim things also caught my eye. Isn't the plastic quite flimsy though?
Thanks cainex1 and Ben_S.
Yes, they are fragile...so I glue them with that thin edge to the plastic card. Then when dry, I turn it on it's side and drip in two-part five minute epoxy which connects to the plastic ring and the plastic card. It makes a solid link between the two surfaces. When that is dry I tip it the other way and repeat the process. You never see those blobs of glue, because they are pretty well blocked by the central pillar.

My worry was that, if the plastic flexes, paint would flake off. But I guess they don't get much contact in that position.
Another classic piece from the Outlanders set...with all the cardboard replaced by plastic card painted and details added. I added an extra level to make this one even taller and the elevator a little more useful.

That is a TON of bulkheads with doors, I always felt those were the rarest for some reason.
If I remember right it was six bulkheads to a sprue, two of the X ones, two solid and one each of the gothic windows and door.
I think the original 1995 box came with 5 sprues (30), so you probably only had 5 doors and one of those was used in the mine entrance piece, leaving 4 for everywhere else.
I always wanted more of the Gothic ones so I could create a whole building in that style. In the end I think they just got mixed in with everything else.
Triangular building with circular hole in would’ve worked, 4 gothic for the two edge clipped ones and then a gothic with a door on top for the one that slid in at the “front”.
What are the little round bits on the top surface, near the bulkheads? Some kind of bottle cap?
Yes, there are a lot of door bulkheads because I have ended up with a large number of them unused. They are rather pointless on the ground level...and on higher levels when the door goes nowhere. So with this, I figured one on the side of the elevator and one opposite as well. More than willing to trade more door bulkheads for any of the other types.
Those lights at the top are small Christmas lights with the cover removed.

Looking again, I think this wasn't the bit I was asking about. I meant these bits:
Ah, those hatch covers are made from a wooden circle, a craft googly eye, and one side of a button snap.
