The storage/fuel tank and pipework gantry to one side of the lab has now been added, along with various oil drums near the side doors. Concrete texture has been added where appropriate. The rooftop antennae have been moved to the correct positions using the overhead still frames from the TV show model.

The model also now includes scripted and animated roof doors with sound effects. An NPC Supercar Pilot is ready to fire up the engines.
