Star Wars Monitor Mod - Part 3: Making the details

After the printing of the panels was done, I put them into place

for a short test fitting.

To make a glow effect, I installed LED stipes to the bottom side.

The main body had to be prepared for the paint job. For that, I covered the

entire body with two layers of spray filler. Smaller gaps were also closed with some

filler.

Also the panels were primed and painted.

Cause the entire monitor should lokk a bit used, everything got some layers of weathering.

Then the first panels were attached to the also painted body.

To control the liall the light effects, I prepared a switch panel.

Here also an RGB LED will switch from red to blue, when the controlled effect is running.

I also found this little LED blinking kit in my electric drawer, so I thought why not try it out.

I will add some more details and a running light effect.

Next up will be final pictures of the monitor, then I will work on the X-Wing again.
