Looks like they've had the paint out in Forbidden Valley.

Expect a few more tonight when people get home from the meet. I know there are some photos from over the fence which other people have not got yet. (There isn't much to see though!)

I'm not sure about the green, but it looks from the plans that there will be some detail added to the building.

It does look ugly right now, but the signage and detail should make it look better.

I think it looks good actually, fits as some sort of temporary military-style base.

It the moment it looks too 'new', it needs some rust, mud and hazard signs splatting on it  :P

Not very exciting but here are three pics of the Sub-Terra building. Apologies for the quality, it was very difficult to get these and I couldn't set the camera up beforehand.

They're generally all green as it helps them get passed easier in the planning phase. By which I mean, they blend in with the surrounding greenery.

Yes, they have to have it this colour as do most other large buildings in Staffordshire. JCB for example also use this grass green colour. (Bearing in mind this factory is fairly old and has sunbleached)

I agree, with a speaker attached with a siren on it. And maybe the sound of creaking.

If anyone followed thirteen construction the building had a similar corrugated structure, the theming was then clad over the top of this. I don't think the building we could see on saturday is the final look of what we will get in march.

I'm pretty sure that the building we see during February Half-Term will not be how the structure looks at the start of the 2012 Season. The plans suggest a grey'ish/green'ish kind of corrugated look, so expect that, but it doesn't appear to have any cladding or any facades. But I don't think the building itself needs anything fancy; It is supposed to be a military unit! :P

Great pictures though Dan!

I have to say after seeing the building over the weekend I was very surprised at how small it is. It really doesn't have much of a footprint, and the building seems quite tucked away. Aside from when standing in front of it the only area I think you'll really see it is when stood near the entrance to the valley on the path from Gloomy Wood. Once you pass Blade its not very exposed at all.

As much as it'd be nice to see it get some rust and stuff slapped on it I wouldn't be too surprised if they just slapped the graphics on and left it at that. It wouldn't look amazing but at the same time it's so small that it wouldn't be a complete eyesore and spoil anything else.
