It all looks pretty good, but what happened to that keypad? Anyway to get one with printed buttons? Not to knock your work-it's a nice mod, but the kepad looks like it's made from icing sugar.

Nice paintjob on the side, and the whole think looks pretty neat. Nice work.

I think it is very nicely composed for a first mod. That keypad did look like it could be refined a little more, but I also think it's addition was a nice touch! Good job and welcome to the forums!

I hand painted the buttons with a brush... I wasnt really happy with how they turned out, live and learn I guess. At first I wanted to make the keypad actually do something but I decided I needed to get a few mods under my belt first before I attempt something like that. The keypad is made of Styrene plastic and the back is Plexiglass. Thanks for the comments.. :rolleyes:

You can get stickers at any office supply store called "letra-set" which are sheets of numbers and letters, you could use for your number pad to give it a more professional look.

Very nice! How did you do the button frame? Styrene and kit bash?

Bear in mind that the best way is to use a very slight dusting for the first coat, to hold the numbers down. Once that's dry you can lay it on normally.
If you use a normal coat for the first coat, the number will float on top of it and move. :mad:

If you're in the UK, Maplin sell pre-printed keypads for a pittance. You could probably just switch them around. If you don't, try a local component shop.

Glad you took my criticism as constructive-didn't want to come across the wrong way. You did a grand job for a first mod. Me, i'm a perfectionist, if i'm not happy i start again. Hence why i don't get too much done normally.

Yes... The face is made with styrene and I add a few little parts from a Star Wars model kit. Thanks for all the great feedback and comments. :D
