Industrial Terrain: Pumping Station Painted

I finally finished painting the pumping station. The goal was to have something that could be set down on either a desert or an urban table and not look out of place so I made the base a stamped steel grating that could be a suitable foundation in either environment.

The pumping station transfers the unrefined liquids produced from wells on Xhorik Prime and does some preliminary processing.

The elevated platform is the same height as the Shadow War:Armageddon terrain and I used a few extra bits from that set to help tie this in with that terrain if I ever get around to painting it.

I think it looks sufficiently dirty and worn!

The height should be sufficient to give even large vehicles and walkers some cover.

I was trying to tie my scratch-built stuff in with the GW terrain by mixing in a few official bits. It is mostly for blocking line of sight and providing a suitable objective, but the upper platform provides a vantage point for shooting with good cover.
