CorSec Engineering's movement tool chits (my fix idea)

By ouzel, in Star Wars: Armada

OK so the number chits show all the ugly hole and shoulder in the tool and they are also a loose fit. Here is an easy good looking fix. "Aluminum duct tape" It covers the ugly, reflects the light back, and holds the chit in the hole.(because cutting the tape mushes some of the glue onto the sides of the chits)

Oh yea sharpy works on the numbers :)

Duct tape 10 million uses and counting

If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape it. If it doesn't move and should, WD-40 it.

A little double sided tape does the job.

I've never had issues with light shining through the little holes, usually when I need to see the number my maneuver tool is laid against a black starfield.

What did you do, paint it?

I never said anything about light shining through the little holes ?? I don't like seeing the holes through the chits I thought they looked ugly showing through the new chits .

The Aluminum duct tape reflects the light back out of the chits like a mirror making the chits glow more and it covers up the hole. :) seems like your tape also covered up the hole.

By the way I really like the black and white paint job.

WOW -- that's amazing looking.

I used my hot glue gun to make the numbers stick in the template. Kind of delicate work since it tricky to use such tiny amounts of molten plastic. Hot glue won't frost clear pieces like plastic cement and super glue do.

Oh, I'm sorry, I must have misread.

Thank you for the compliment!

I have found that highlighting the raised parts on the tool, particularly the little line that shows where the front of the base will land, helps me with movement visualization in general.
