Some of you might remember my initial mock-up of the computers and consoles for a missile or other Cold War bunkers: TMP link Well, I decided to start adding buttons to the darn things, starting with a piece "inspired" by this:
And so here it is, with a guy who could pass for an older "John Connor", after he gets settled in at Crystal Peak*. It still needs to be painted, of course:
More angles here: link So … what do you think of that first piece? I might make the screen a little bit dome-like though. The styrene sheet I used is the Evergreen 1/16" tile. Thanks Dan

Woo Hoo! Love it! Moar! Although, in the picture it looks like he is trying to use a soldering gun on his screen. Dave |

Glad you like it! I'll see if I can work on a few more types of workstations this week. Dan |

Nice job. If you ever get to Arizona try a visit to the Titan Missile museum. You get to go around the control room and possibly turn the key! Plenty of inspiration there. |

Great stuff! How could we live without sheet styrene, especially the textured stuff. |

Vigilant, I would love to turn that key! Captain Beefheart, I have a hard time thinking to a time when styrene wasn't there to get me out of a bind. :) Dan
PS. By the way, those black knobs/dials are these little 2mm guys:

Guys What was this supposed to be?
linkWere the Soviets playing around with miniatures while they were locked inside their missile bunkers? And, on a different note, check out these Cold War era futuristic sci-fi control panels: link Dan

By the way, the 6mm "screen" domes* that I ordered arrived finally today, so now the piece looks pretty much finished. Ready to paint (or make a mold).
What do you think now? Better? I also got other nice little geometric "bits" in the mail, so I can finally move on to finish up other types of workstations. Dan
