I have spend the last days doing the following modifications to the corridors:
- Wall lamp detailing using Paragrafx parts and 3D printed parts
- Green wall lighting
- Additional Paragrafx corridor details
- Under-floor lighting
- Long corridor illusion
Painting
All the corridor hull parts are painted with Tamiya Flat Dark Grey (XF-24).
For the wall pads I used Tamiya XF-55 (Deck Tan) over a prime coat of XF-49 (Khaki) and then did some weathering with Oil Stain from Tamiya Weathering Set D.
The Paragrafix corridor floors where painted with a XF-24 (dark grey) base coat and then dry brushed (toothbrush) with XF-1 (flat black) and some X-11 (chrome silver). No priming was done in order to let the brass color of the Paragrafix part come thru on some edges.
Wall Lamps & Lighting
For the wall lamps I used a combination of the following aftermarket parts:- Lamp rings and detailing parts from the Paragrafix Corridor Set
- 3D-printed lights from 308 Bits on shapeways
- Wall lights from the Millennium Falcon Lighting Kit by Chris Holland
- Small LEDs for the wall controls
Under-Floor Lighting
The floor parts of the Paragrafix corridor set have been put on top of the stock parts, after removing the edges in order to let the light shine through the grill. LED stripes where glued on the hull part after light blocking with some self-adhesive aluminium tape.
Wall Pad Weathering
I like more subtle weathering and had taken special care of not to overdo this on the wall pads. Only slight weathering has been added to give the wall pads a used look by adding some Oil Stain from the Tamiya Weathering Set D.
Long Corridor Illusion
To give the illusion that the corridor continues beyond the edge of the stock part, I added an additional spare ring together with a second pad ring and glued a mirror to the ring.
The red line indicates the position of the mirror.
