Tools and materials :
1 A4 sheet of Foamcore
1 sheet of cardboard (here I use a cigarette tube box)
1 cutting set (or a single cutter)
1 hot glue gun and glue stick
1 superflux led (with wire and resistor)
1 pait brush
1 wood glue with water
1 picture of your choice (here, I cut a Vader's pix from a set cardboard)
1 pen
1 permanaent markek (not on picture)
3  sheets of niubniub decals : 2xDS red control Room entrance door, 1X DS red control room panels (page 2 of 4)

Here's a scan of console profile with quotes (in metrics mesure)
You need to make 2 of those stuck in foamcore sheet.
Dont hesitate of replace cutter's blade, foamcore "destroy" them quickly. You see the result with bad blade.

Grrrrrrrreat tutorial. I'm viewing this from my mobile as I'm away right now, but this looks like a cool resource for a prop.

Thanks for sharing.
