Very well done, as ever.

I'm consistently impressed by your shading and wear-and-tear and dirt markings in your model-making.

I’m not eager to ask this, because it looks so good as it is, but… wouldn’t it make more sense to have the concrete stairs directly under the ladder? Right now, the stairs go nowhere.

Probably how it was supposed to go, but this was a bargain bin find that I didn't care to disassemble.

Damn this looks good. How did you make it look so rusty/dirty

The white was mostly sponging, I alternated greys and blacks with white again until it looked right. The bare metal was an intentionally uneven mix of brown and orange paints brushed on, and then a homemade red-brown wash applied.
