You might investigate miniature lamps that could be used inside the
structure to provide scale lighting, as it might be if this were a real
building. You would need to shoot very long exposures, and I would
recommend Type A or Type B film, or the correct color correction filter with
daylight
Tri-X should work fine. And it's fast enough that
you can use a soft card to bounce the flash off a card
to reduce shadows.

I think you need some additional 20mm and 24mm K-mount lenses. This is a
length where Pentax really does very well . . . I also think you need to
have at least 2 additional 85mm K-mounts so you can fully participate in the
85mm discussions. And I also note that you have neither a 40mm or 43mm.
