Thanks for the feedback, Loogie. I'm just a noob at this drawing stuff, so most of your suggestions are way beyond my skill. No doubt I'll improve a little with experience, but I still think that people with an 'art gene' start out at a level that others (like me) can only aspire to - and most of the regular posters here have it.

One person's 'easy' is another person's 'hellish difficult'. I've seen 5 yr olds with better hand drawing skills than me! I'm just taking part here for the fun of it - and to kick my own butt into not giving up.

I can't even make 'sterile' textures yet, much less 'grungy' ones! Yes, it would be good to put a few scratches and smudges and dirty footprints here and there, but probably not yet awhile.

When I get a little time, I'll try reworking a folding table, some twin-use chairs and maybe a cryo-bed, a new fridge and a more realistic 'engineering module'. There's a few weeks to go yet.

Ravells, I've poked about with Inkscape and found a couple of online tutorials about gradients, but I can't figure how you did the control panel on that bed - the way it looks bevelled and blends in with the rest of the bed curvature.

Any chance of a mini-tut?
