Spacecraft Control Panels - Retro Edition

£11.00

Sixty-six retro control panel designs on a single A4 sheet, drawn from photographs of real Apollo-era hardware. Dials and tape meters rather than screens, black instrument faces on light panels, grouping boxes with the name breaking the top line, switches that name both states, and a guidance computer with its VERB and NOUN displays.

If you have wondered what VERB and NOUN are: on the real Apollo guidance computer, a two-digit verb told it what to do and a two-digit noun told it what to do it to. It is a genuine oddity and we kept it, because the details that look invented are usually the ones that are real.

These are made for building bricks generally, not for one system, and the vinyl works equally well on model railway scenery, a wargames table or a diorama.

What is on the sheet

Sixty-six designs, one of each, no repeats.

  • 3 large panels for a back wall, at 4×4 tile size, including the guidance computer and a caution and warning matrix

  • 12 instrument consoles at 2×4 tile size

  • 21 individual instruments at 2×2 tile size

  • 9 breaker rows and indicator strips at 1×4 tile size

  • 21 placards at 1×2 tile size, split between red for caution and blue for status

Every design was drawn entirely in code rather than generated.

Which tiles to use

Use light bluish grey tiles. The panel artwork is tuned to that colour, so the tile disappears behind the instrument and the wall reads as a real console. As with any of our sheets, if your cut wanders, cut just inside the line rather than outside it.

Sold separately on purpose

This is the retro half of the range and the Deep Space Edition is the modern half. They share the same geometry, so they sit together on one wall if you want both eras, but most builders want one or the other and we would rather not sell you a sheet you will not use.

How it arrives

One A4 sheet of printed vinyl, posted flat. The stickers are not pre-cut. You cut each one out yourself with scissors or a craft knife. Each design is sized to its tile, with a fine crop mark at each corner to cut to.

Compatible with LEGO® and other leading building-brick systems.
