RS-1 Radio Texture Mod to make it look less modern

Didn't want a modern looking radio in the cab of my RS-1 Alco.

So I researched Motorola radios and came up with this idea.

The buttons light up so they couldn't be modded but the rest of it can. Used the texture pattern from the Motorola metal covers found on their industrial radios. The hand set came in "plastic beige" color.

If people are interested in adding this texture to their RS-1 just reply here and if enough folks desire it I will submit it to the Library. Just not sure under which category it falls under.

I'd love to have that texture for the model.

We can say the keypads used a paint that has radium-226 in it, which is why they glow.

Definitely makes it look era-specific.

Send me the link when you're ready and don't worry about the category.

That's why God invented the word miscellaneous for stuff he didn't know what else to call. !*roll-laugh*!

Sorry about the delay on releasing this mod. I have injured my right shoulder and forearm.

I am awaiting a doctors appointment. So with inaccuracy of my left hand skills and the fact that it hurts like hell to move around I am having my roommate type this update.
I am not in the mood to talk him through the process of making pictures then packaging and submitting the mod so it will be awhile
