T trekpropguy Member May 5, 2010 #3 I've made a few panels, but I can't help you with the exact colours, I just found varying shades of grey at the hardware store and used that.

Silverhold Member May 5, 2010 #5 Could be lousy pics... or maybe my eyes just fooling me - but some of the auction photos I've seen for screen used panels look similar to the grey used for TNG props... only metalic?

Sulla Sr Member RPF PREMIUM MEMBER May 5, 2010 #6 Here's a few shots of set pieces from itsawrap (I have them all saved to file.) Now that I've taken a closer look, I almost want to say it's a printed vinyl application over black acrylic with a rough textured clear coat varnish. They had to use some paint though, as a lot of items (like the smaller wall coms and universal translators) were found items that needed painted.

feek61 Sr Member May 5, 2010 #7 I own several of those panels and they are not textured. You are correct; just printed vinyl stuck to black acrylic.

Cool, thanks for the head's up. Any thoughts on what the little blue hemisphere is? And what the font of the numbers and labeling is?

Droidboy Sr Member RPF PREMIUM MEMBER May 6, 2010 #10 The hemisphere isn't blue, it's clear and it's sitting on a blue and silver printed sticker. You can borrow my screen used wall com thingie if you want to make copies. Gregg
