I've printed some control panels before, but EC3D do a great set that includes a range of consoles plus some starship seats. As always, these are all printed 56% original size, flat on the build plate, without additional supports.
The first console I painted Vallejo Xpress Imperial yellow over a plain white undercoat. The buttons were dotted in with Xpress colours, plasma red, snake green, martian orange.
Cables and ducting were painted silver with a black wash.
Some chipping was applied with some silver paint on a scrap of sponge.
The screen is black with various lines, dots and squiggles in white. Some have been overpainted with red and orange to add a bit of colour. I might produce another of these consoles and paint it to match my bar scenery, it has the look of a meal order station.
The next console has a thin black wash over the white undercoat. Buttons are shaded with Xpress snake green and plasma red.
Cables are painted in silver with a darker black wash.
The screen was painted black with white details, overpainted with assorted colours.
The bigger console is a similar colour scheme, giving a well-worn, grungy look.
The back of this one is plainer than the others, but still has a couple of little details.
These will be right at home on a starship or in a lab, control centre or other sci-fi building.
