Looking good to me! The only thing else I would be interested in would be an alternate set, since I've got 2 phones on the way (should be here Thursday). The other phone of this type that was up for auction was Station 12.

So would you want different station numbers or different sec or hall numbers?
Both, preferably. Although the station 12 phone just has the numbers swapped on the sec and hall:

Everything looks great - my only 2 cents I have to add is that the "sec or hall numbers" should be elongated as you can see that sticker and associated font is wider than the number pad.
Thanks for all the discussion on these phones - they're close to becoming reality! :thumbsup

Didn't see that version before, but you are 100% correct.
The LS-386 was more clearly shown, probably from redressing hallways.

They used different versions through out the ship, notice here it is a IC-KAA and look how the phone cord goes into the intercom, and also note the different custom base on the wall.
Had to start now...

Nice job so far, Sean!
There should be enough 'military manuals' on the web to download & printout, but 2.5" of printouts is alot of paper! I'd just grab paper from the recycle bins at work.
I'm sure you'll get the font right, but just wondering where you got the art of the Viper? You do it yourself?

I just emailed Scott the Graphics dude with the list of questions including prices.
Last thing is the greeble on the top of the phone. I am making one out of 80 ABS .

You are reading my mind.To complete the hallway phone setup (once we get some stickers :love), we should try & figure out what the box w/ blue lights to the right is.

Here's what I mean (pardon the amateur attempt at resizing)
I used www.fotoflexer.com to play around with the image your friend made...
Original (reduced size keeping same h/w proportions):
Resized (same h, elongated w,):

Not sure where he got his, but I found it here:

Make sure to click the link on the page to download the high res version.
I was messing with the manual myself just for fun.
The Viper should be flipped so I'm going to fix the type in Photoshop.
BTW - The new stickers look much better, but I'm going to use my own.

I saw that right away and told him to recheck his measurements. The actual sticker should be 2 3/8 by 3/4Here's what I mean (pardon the amateur attempt at stretching/resizing)

Thanks! I was just thinking of using blank paper of that same color. The viper was found on the web then reversed, then I re-reversed the type, as lonepigeon said.
