    If I don't have it, they never made one.

Awesome work!!

Do have a question though, for Uhura's station how did you make the com and the switches?

Thanks for responding.   I am curious how the bank of yellow, gray  and white switches were made, and the blue com.

The blue com is simply two small sections of evergreen .080 x .250 strip, glued together and then sanded to form a triangle. The ends are then covered with thin styrene sheet to tidy them up and trimmed to shape. then, I cut a 13mm x 8mm rectangle from thin styrene sheet and glue it to the front. but before I glue it on, I cut out the speaker grill. I have moulded this one so I can cast the rest.
the switch bank is simply a strip of thin styrene sheet 15mm x 3mm, with a line of milliput then applied to one side and shaped into the triangular raised half of the switch bank. Again, I moulded it so that I can knock them out by the shed load. If you need any more clarification/pics etc, I will gladly help where I can.
Hope that helps.
