Greeblies For Sidepanels Arrived!

The 3D-printed greeblies arrived!












Had to cut off one row from the grill for it to fit:







Sprayed some parts "chrome":








And some parts silver/aluminum, grey and khaki (for the small nipples:



Went over the u-clips with a black wash, and a tad of rust-colored wash on some of the screws:



Drilled out a hole for the selectorswitch on the hero-panel and drilled out the knob and fastened it so it is functional:

Transferred to a clear screen:












When I sealed the sheet with waterslide decals with clear laquer, some parts of the paper turned a yellowish hue.
I tried a few of the decals out, and they weren't discolored and worked out fine.

Sadly I had bought the wrong kind of rectangular yellow LEDs to go behind the screen on panel #2, and will have to wait (up to two weeks) for replacements before I can finish it.
