-Weathered and with bridge accessories and flock/grass:
+Weathering effects added to pipework and stone, added some [[https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1531012778|3d printed wooden bridge accessories]] which I painted and a little flock/grass around the edge of sewer:

Around 2/3 of the tiles set perfectly, with minimal bubbles and shrinkage, but several of them had nasty bubbles and 'frothing' around the edge of the resin. I decided to apply some thick, water effect gels to the surface of the resin to hide some of the more unsightly bubbles - this will be the next step, but the resin as it cured is shown below:

+Added a metal grate above the large sewer pool and painted some rust effects around damaged parts:
