Whitegate

Another day, another piece of Hirst Arts scenery...

This uses parts from the Starship Walls mould #301. It was originally built to go with Star Wars style 25/28mm scenery, but works well with 15mm too. Both sides and both ends are painted, so it can be used this way...

It's been spray-painted with £1 shop matt white car primer, covered with cheap black poster paint, then polished off to give a "once pristine but now dirty & well-used" look. The glowing blue lights are added with Inscribe acrylics, ultramarine with a dash of snow for highlights. I'd imagine it to be some sort of mysterious item of machinery for the first couple of photographs, but the lower 2 remind me of a CAT or MRI scanner. Perhaps some sort of full-body walk-through scanner in the quarantine entry system for new arrivals at the starport? This is the "Whitegate" of this post title.
