Yes, Bulkhead 2 also has an interior! This time, I spent less work on pipes, concentrating on gears instead.  Two computer fans frame the top of the piece. The balcony that runs along the top connects to the one on the front through the door in the upper left corner. The Skull shaped vents were made by cramming more of those cool skull key rings into square sockets. More wire, oil drums, rubber tubing, chain, and other madness fill in all the blanks so that even the "simpler" of the two bulkheads looks frighteningly industrial. In addition to the typical gritty paint job, a few well placed decals really help make the scene. Be sure to "dull down" your decals and stickers with some matt finish varnish- I mix in some brown to make them look even dirtier.

The main gear cluster is part of the stepping motor from an old dot-matrix printer (love those printers, chock full of parts!). Other gear parts are from broken Cassette tape players.   The heavy chain on the right is actually chain for holding reading glasses!  The claw on the end is from a plastic Mega-Gargant arm.  One thing kept me going as I worked on all this madness- the Jes Goodwin illustration of two tech priests conversing in front of a big tank holding a Tyranid head. I love that picture- as you can (hopefully) see by the Hive Tyrant head in the tank at the center bottom.

You can clearly see the plastic skull key ring pieces and the electric fan up top.  The upper balcony is made from Plastruct support beam, backed with sheet plastic and topped with some edge trim that I found in an electronics surplus shop. The lower balcony is a toy train car that I cut up, and added some more model train fence for the railing.  The gears are from a tape deck.  If you use real electrical wire, select several colors.  That way you won't have to hand paint them!  The wires seen on the right were spray painted when I primed the whole piece black, but I wiped them down with a rag before the primer dried. They look quite grungy as a result.
