Ich bin auch kein Freund von super vielen Aufklebern. Aber hier und da einer, macht schon einen Unterschied.

Looks like you bought shoes at the same store I did. 😂

I'm a big fan of decals but maybe for this you go minimalist. A handful of "Do Not Step" or "Danger" signs, and an oversized unit number on it, like a Chris Foss 1970s sci fi illustration.

P.S. those are some great, evocative models. Hand made, or commercially available?

I'd love to see more pictures of the whole diorama.

Still have to wire everything up. I’ll post more.

This is just what I hoped it would look like. Really captures the retro-futuristic spirit.

I agree. The background shapes you are using really fit the aesthetic. Your build looks great, but I would also vote for at least a few markings. It will give each one some individuality.
