Making & Weathering a Laser cut Tunnel Portal

Hi everyone, I wanted to make this video sooner, but time did not allow it to be included earlier.
I wanted to share the processes I went through to put together and weather the tunnel portal I created on the Creality Falcon 2 pro a few weeks ago.
I do hope that you find some of the content useful in your own weathering projects

Thanks for the water staining tip you have given me an idea on how to (hopefully) improve my tunnel portals. Many thanks for sharing Paul take care Barry.👍

That looks like amazing detail, so realistic, and brings real depth to the surroundings. I cannot wait to see the finished tunnel portals near Sandling Junction.

They will be there at some point, cheers P

Paul, I went back and looked at New Sandling Junction again just to go through the baseboard build again. I've noticed that the frames look to be built with 2x1, how are they holding up? I've chstted to lots who have used 3x1, 4x1 etc and just seems to me to be over engineered, also what Ply are you using, is it 9mm or 12mm ?
