Landing Bay

Moving to the higher angle,
we start with these items.
First, there are the cargo door details. Because the upper level
catwalks continue into the landing bay,
I came up with a segmented door that would fully open and still allow
for that passage. You can see that
the door support channels, in this painting, don't equal the number of
door segments. Let's all
pretend that they do.

The elevators move up & down mounted on side metallic vertical
pieces exclusively. They have no central
supports, allowing them to descend completely into the deck
below. The dividing piece between elevators,
(not visible here) is normally in it's 'up' position, supporting the
inboard sides of the elevators.
During replenishment operations, it is recessed for easier cargo
passage.
Taking a look at the catwalk running aft, you see how it narrows,
conforming to the ship sides.
Unfortunately, I overlooked that angle detailing on the hanger level
below.

Again, the angled WorkBee bays
are evident here.
Also notice the double doors
for pressure security, should the
Landing Bay be open to space.
