In fact I'd like as much input along the way as possible as there's nothing worse than finishing a project and someone saying "Did you ever consider..." and having a great idea that it's too late to use.

Space Force Base - Custom build
Hi, I'm about to start building a space station for
. I have the layout pretty much planned out (thin MDF or ply, two stories, wall mounted -I'll post a sketch later!) but am looking for help with the interior. Ideally I'd like to have the walls covered with stickers, each sticker about A4 showing various panels, lockers etc. Does anyone have images that I can use as a starting point.

Re: Space Force Base - Custom build
This sounds like it's going to be good.
Have you seen that display from the early Palitoy toy catalogue yet?

Re: Space Force Base - Custom build
Cheers guys
@ Andy1672 - This partly is my inspiration for using the sticker idea rather than painting. Someonle else (sorry I've forgotton who) did a great looking base with bunks and a prison cell. My intention is to try and combine the two with a little of the prototype.
I'm not too bad a the practical stuff or even the art stuff. It's the printing/scanning/IT side of things that is new to me. I'm now searching for images on the net to help but so far it's fairly fruitless. I've got a pretty clear idea of what I'm looking for.
I'll finish the rough sketch (that has finally gotten my lads approval after much deliberation) and see what you guys think.

http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/ Contains the original background that I would guess Steve recoloured for his custom. Its called Tantive IV in the cards, stickers and backgounds section. This is a really good site for Star Wars fans but as you can see alot will easily fit with Action Force.

Re: Space Force Base - Custom build
Here are some prelim images to show how the stickers ought to look. It's still early days but here is the hangar floor, the control panel wall (minus controls) and an attempt at creating a locker with empty space suits.






Re: Space Force Base - Custom build
Here's a few more.




There's another 4 or so to go then it's job done -it's a case then of cutting the wood and glueing and screwing.
