    Fantastic video as always Dan, one technique I use for creating a rusty metallic undercoat (especially on larger models) is a matt black followed by a light misting of medium brown spray paint and a light misting of silver spray paint. Crushed chalk pastels also help to add a caked on rust texture, although I think you've been doing that already. I'd like to add another like here for Beth for her contributions as well!

    I like the grip tape as a texture. I used old speaker grills for my 40k Grey Knight bases because i got them mainly to play Boarding Actions. Adds a nice weight to the model too. ( You could use them as the platform too if you want a perferated platform, they are quite robust if you know any installers )

    Rockin' that intro, Dan. Totally bitchin', as kids possibly said, at some point in history.
    I can't keep this up. Sorry. But yes, if you find some of those stacking cup things, do clean them well, to remove any anomalous materials that might cling to the inside. Be wary of piss, shit, and rags, is what I'm saying. Having found evidence of all three in an Action Man armoured car I was renovating once, it's not a pleasant surprise, and it remains with you for a long time afterwards.
    Seriously though, love that tower. It really has a darkness about it, like something that looms up out of the fog, on an otherwise empty moor. You have made a hauntological model, Dan. Be proud. And slightly afraid. 👍👍👍
