The corner pillars are almost done; all the tricky bits are done on them anyway. There are big glukkon heads that sit on top of the four corner pillars and those I fear will prove a challenge for me, but mostly the hardest stuff is finished now.
With the inside I'm gonna use mainly iron bars, sandstone and stone bricks, since they match the colour-scheme of the level fairly well in my eyes.There will be a lot of pillars and gantries and probably the odd cosmetic redstone torch. It's a shame we can't work in many of the iconic posters but I'll see if I can at least fit 'WHERE WILL WE SEND YOU TODAY' over one wall, and maybe put in some of Edd's Rupture Farms barrels.
I must confess that I fear the complexity of the iron bars on the outside is beginning to lag my laptop, but it might have just been 'cus my laptop resents playing music and running Minecraft together. If anyone else finds they get laggy around the station, and it's a notable problem, I guess I'll take it all down and replace it with stone of some sort. If it is a problem now then it'll be a worse one later, so we'll know sooner or later. If it is the case, I'll strip off the iron and replace the outer layer of obsidian with stone bricks or some such thing.
See attachments for progress and comparison (the 'snouts' will go on next).
