Nope. These are already made. They're kits that are very complex in nature, and require some serious skills to complete. The hardest part about this will be the lighting. Right now I'm at a crossroad with the graphics. The ones I bought are purportedly from rodddenberry, but these aren't glossy, and they aren't produced on a reverse transfer type mylar sheet as the originals were.
The guy I bought these from swears that these aren't made by him, and that the ones he makes are excellent compared to them. I can only take his word, as I don't have another sample to work from. He said that he's willing to work something out, but I've already paid for the shipping on these. They're made out of thick paper, which you can't see through where the LEDs are, but there's only one. I was hoping that the sheet I bought to replace the incorrect ones would be the same in every way, but it isn't! I'll figure that out, but in the meantime, I'll chip away at this until I have it painted, and put together.
