There's not that much to them really. Just a bit of EPS that is tall 
enough to act as the ground between the bottom of the position and 
the chest'ish height of the figure. I used the basic US infantry 
fighting position as a basis for the terrain. I even included 
overhead cover, cubby holes at the bottom for gear and such. The 
overhead cover bridges the sides of the trench and is made of a 
couple of logs (sticks) and some plas-steel sheeting (cardboard) 
covered by polymer stabilized earth (brown flock glued with flock 
adhesive).

Getting fancy would include a boat bay with a ships boat (pinnance?) 
in the bay.

As far as all sorts of plumbing and such, use what ever really looks 
good. Though given its a futuristic ship and not a piece of crap from 
the Imperium, I expect that the interior would be rather neat and 
organized. Cabinets and access panels would be the norm rather than 
exposed pipes and conduits. Regularlay placed Damage control gear 
would be likely though. Mostly Fire fighting gear, cables and tanks 
of spray foam for sealing pressure gaps.
