Since I last posted any pics on this subject I have completed quite a bit more of the hanger. Including a ceiling and light box.
To recap some of my previous postings on this, the walls and almost all of the support equipment (scaffolds, light posts, etc) are entirely scratch built. The figures, stairways, and ladders are all from HO scale Railroad accessories.
The fueling/air conditioning trucks and tubing come from a 1/72nd scale aircraft support diorama accessory pack (and lord knows I can't remember the exact name or manufacturer, if I find the box I'll let you know).
Ceiling is a plastic screen desinged for drop ceiling office lights.
It really doesn't show well in these shots, but on the left hand wall, as part of the office windows there is a doorway and small balcony, with two figures looking down on the scene. I got the idea from Breakaway, when Alan and the Commander are talking you can see the hanger through a window, and see someone walking past the window. Watch those scenes closely and you will see a doorway to the right of the window.
The uniforms on the figures are painted to match Series II. I did that for two reasons. Firstly, the hanger is based strongly on the version we saw in "Space Warp", and secondly the colored colors and jackets show up better in this scale than the relatively plain uniforms of Series I.
