I think what you have already created looks fantastic.  You mentioned above that if someone wanted one that is completely finished by you that it would be possible, but would cost more...at least $150.  Well, I am terrible at creating models, sanding, painting, assembling, etc.  Therefore, if you would be willing to send me a sanded, painted, assembled = completely finished bridge piece, then I would gladly pay you the $150. (or a little more if you underestimate the final cost of your time) to have such a beautiful piece.  It is entirely up to you, especially if you have other concerns that need attention.  If you are willing to invest your time and skill, then please add me to your list.

So now that the helm station has been rebuilt in kit form, the old 3/4 built one is redundant. I had the idea of using it as a mixing palette to match that bronzed colour of the other pieces. Each batch that i mixed and the quantities of each colour was noted and i put a dab of that colour next to it. Rather than waste the mixed paint, I used it to paint the old helm - one colour on each panel. so although no two colours match each other exactly, i had a really good test piece to finalise the closest colour to the original. I have also painted up what controls I did actually attach and I added some draft print displays to help bring it to life a little. I think I have pretty much nailed down the final colour and I will spray rather than brush it on. its a little sad that this one will end up in the trash but the new one is going to be so much better. Anyway here are a few pics to show you how it looked. PLEASE REMEMBER! this is NOT the piece you will be receiving. it is just to illustrate how the final stages are coming together. enjoy!

If you mean the printed graphics generously supplied by CaptSpry, then absolutely yes. They will be printed in as high a resolution as possible on glossy paper. I am already looking into the possibilities of an upgrade kit for this and the other consoles, but that's a whole other story! :lol:
