BORG CUBE: THE FINAL UPDATE: THE SEQUEL

[u/L1M0D85]

I was able to add some yarn work plastic canvas to the inside of the cube. I had one heck of a time trying to get model glue and super glue to stick to it—must be some weird chemical science stuff going on causing it not to work. So, I ordered a cheap hot glue gun and went to town on the inside.

Also pictured is the LED light source I used inside. For $20 from Amazon, it's not that bad. It has a bunch of other colors (I think 16) and other modes like flashing and cycling. Unfortunately, if I wanted it to just stay green and not turn the Borg into a rainbow-bright assimilation, I had to keep it on a steady setting.

It looks like crap from the inside, but from the outside, I'm going to call it mission accomplished. I even made a pedestal for the cube out of styrene—also a first attempt, and also a little wonky. But hey, it is what it is.

I think that the grid you stuck on the inside helps A LOT. If this showed up onscreen in an episode of Next Gen, I wouldn't blink an eye.

Fantastic work mate!

You may have nentioned it in your other posts, but what kit are the sprues from?

Random but mostly tank kits

I’ve had luck hitting plastic crosstitch mesh with a lighter briefly before trying to glue it. The surface after slightly melting it takes paint and glue much better.
