WOW, great shot. You could almost fool some folks into thinking that's a 1:1 scale subject!

If you re-took that with a solid black background (to remove the shelves way in the back of the room), you could submit that to almost any magazine (of course, OGR first)...

Well thank you. The shelf you're seeing is actually the high line before I got the retaining wall in front. There are some shelves in the very far left which also could be seen a little bit. I'm eventually going to get rid of them too. I'm now building the Plastruct chem plant with added stuff and it too will all be lit by LEDs lamps. I've been manufacturing my own lights using light heads that I'm resin casting with 2mm warm white LEDs.

it's been two years since I constructed the new layout, and still need to get the buildings and street lamps wired, until then I use a some low overhead lights for "night time" running.
