Starting to add in the floor details.... I've replaced the original elevation views with the standard spelljammer cut-away view, but I think I'd like to work the elevation views back in somehow...

Pushing the spelljammer style a bit outside its' normal boundaries now (not sure if I'm sold on the blueprint look - blueprints are too mid 20th century for building this age, and too old-fashioned for modern...):

And I'm still missing the floor grid....

Bravo! Excellent. Wot Wot!
I like it ...
I've decided to stick with the blueprint style, so a bit of finessing with the colours, making the "Crimson" live up to it's name, and some additional neatlines put it here:

Not sure if I want to add any distress (creases/folds or tape....)

Red on a blue print?
Yeeeeaaaah....... Crimson, actually
I've played with the colours - the look I am going for is as if someone inked the word "Crimson" in red ink after the blueprint was made, so I've added some blur, smearing and opacity masking to it.... I also reduced the noise in the blue background as it was a bit overpowering in that last version....

I love the blue background, but I'm with Max, the crimson tittle rubs me the wrong way. Personally I think the two-tone image is much cleaner.
