(...) Do you have an airbrush? You may have to mix your own using model paints. In fact I'd recomend this for a better surface. Even hand painting may be preferable. I used to build alot of models.

Do I get a discount for ordering in bulk? Totally awesome stuff, man. I'm such a sucker for lights in stuff and I LOVE how you worked in the Classic Space console images on the display.

(...) the part looks pretty cool, the extreme close up is pretty cruel! Regarding the lightand sound part, I didn't realise this existed, I wonder why they didn't use it more (with different inserts)? Tim (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

Rob, those are great. Never mind the naysayers "LEGO never made that console in that color" or whatever they may say. You are a(n evil) genius. Of course, now you have to figure out how to introduce motion effects into your lighting, so (URL) this (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)
