Yup, we're applying stickers. First off is the Dejarik board. Yup, they named the little chess-type game from the first movie. Hey, it's not like they came up with a complete set of rules for it or anything. Oh, wait.
Anyhow, you stick the board onto the metal holoprojector thingie, lining it up so that the black "squares" line up with the extremes of the control panel, as I've almost managed to do here:
Next up is the control panel for the cockpit. It's got a few holes in there for lights and things, but I've been watching Christopher Olson's slideshows of his custom builds here, and couldn't help but follow suit. I've ordered up a whole mess o' fiber optics, and drilled a hole where the "blue" section goes, as seen here:
Actually, I'm a little to the right of where I should be on that, but nothing a little putty can't fix. Anyway, here it is with the light shining through:
And here it snaps onto the cockpit floor. Which after watching the above video I am totally going to have to dirty up a bit.
Anyway, that's basically it for tonight. This weekend I'll be doing a little surgery on the next piece, so that should be interesting. In the meantime, go watch that video if you haven't already. Very inspiring.
