U.S.S. FLAGG interior gets a makeover! (sticker detail project)

Sometime last year, I had the idea of making a set of computer screen, instrument panel and console stickers for the U.S.S. Flagg, to make up for the rather boring and stark control tower interior of the 1985 behemoth playset.

I first approached cobrastickers.com to see if they'd make me a custom set but they were unable to do so at the time, which was totally understandable. So, (since I'm a graphic artist by profession) I ended up taking the bull by the horns: designing, printing, laminating and applying my own labels. By sticking them to custom-cut "computer monitor" shapes that I made from firm specialty medical-grade foam (scrap material that I snagged from the warehouse I work at), I was able to give them a modern "flat-screen TV" 3D-look.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share the designs that I used, I'd love to get your feedback on them.

Enjoy,
Yo Joe!

***UPDATE***

Due to popular demand, these sets are now available to purchase!
Just to reiterate, I'm currently out of the foam that I used to make them and won't be getting more in, so I will only be able to make basic sticker sets.

Price will be $5.00 per set, just to cover supplies and postage. Not looking to make a huge profit on these and want to keep it affordable. Again, the foam "monitor" backing would not be included, but you could easily apply them to posterboard or foam core if you so desire, available at any office supplies store.

Thanks again!

Nice designs. I would like to get a set of those. Those are just all around neat.
My only recommendation would be to cut the backing before applying the stickers to it which might allow for a more precise cut. Just trace the sticker edges onto the backing and cut. Or use a different cutting tool. No more rough edges.
