I'm painting up some Sedition Wars terrain (for use in Scifi Rpging, not SW) that I've had stashed in the garage for a while. Painted a few interior doors and airlocks, and am starting on some computer stations/displays. I'm trying to figure out what to paint on the displays, beyond an ambient blue-green glow. Free-hand some kind of cryptic-looking writing? Track down some decals that are suitable? Leave as-is? I'd welcome any feedback or input. Thanks! |

Put a bullet hole in one. |

Well, I've got enough of the terminals. I could definitely sacrifice one to reflect combat damage. :) |

Print screens. You can do them as decals or just print them on paper and glue the screens on. Or several companies make decals |

I agree with dragon6. Print them on paper and glue them on. If you want them to look shiny, dab a little Modge Podge or glossy craft glue to the front after the back dries. |

Dark green with Light Green "text" which at that scale would just look like scribbly lines.
Maybe some column graphs
>>DANGER<< or >>RED ALERT<<
Base Maps Quick google search gave me these gems:

Oh Wow! This pinterest page has a bunch of "Technology Wallpapers" that really fit the bill for printing out and gluing on link link link |

I'll try the scribbly, light-green text approach and see how that turns out. (Though the red display looks pretty sharp). I could look into waterslide decal printer paper, perhaps. Those 'technology wallpapers' look great. I just don't want a printed screen to obscure the display's background color. |

I am getting ready to do the same type of project. I agree with JT, I plan on using water slides. Ainsty and Antenociti both have decals. I was also looking at scaling some Tech Rainmeter Themes. |

Google computer screen + favorite sci fi show and see how many different references and easter eggs you can include. Your players will enjoy finding them. Robert |

Generally dark background (black or dark green), with bar graphs or sine waves displayed. One of my screens has a star field. |

You can always include a Blue Screen of Death. |
finds bases at the dollar store!
