Honestly this just happened during coloring the walls. A lot of my 'modeling effects' rather just happen than are completely planned, and I then decide to keep or omit them: I paint the walls in horizontal position (the wall, not me), adding water from time to time to push pigments around and so it tends to creep into the nearby joints. I like that effect but indeed Russ' comment (which I read as wry) let me have a closer look at this and now it seemed somewhat over scaled to me. No big thing, there's a substructure from angle stock for the sink to come and a board for some soap, maybe a mirror, too. My idea about the sink is: they must have had an directly accessible option to remove acid splashes from skin or eyes.

I really look forward to these updates.  It's nice to know there are others who share the affliction (or have it worse)  :)

The whole thing looks incredible, but I especially like that electrical panel!

While I will never reach your level of excellence, your work is a great inspiration!

IVolker,
I was just telling my wife how amazing your pickling plant is. And now I get to see all these extra details. Absolutely amazing. The board is work unto itself. Utterly amazing.

According to some hints from Buntbahn guys I put a bit more attention to the sink topic; keep in mind this is located in the far background's edge. I removed the sink a tad from the left wall including changing the drain, added cast iron brackets with towel racks, a board with brackets, some boxes with hand washing paste tablets ('Pulia' brand), a liquid soap dispenser and towels. Soap dispenser is made from some aluminum rod and brass parts.
