I've done some more work on the righthand side of the airlock. To recreate the top "third" I found a metal binder name plate to use as the border. The opaque area at the top will be represented by a pice of a plastic milk jug. The part below it I can't quite match so I'm using part of a model tank and I will paint the vertical lines on. I'm still looking for the top two buttons, but for the three round buttons at the bottom I'm using rubber dots:

Painting the bottom of the dots orange and the other bits red. Making the three stylized letters (V O X?), but I'm having to shift their position due to space constraints.

A test fitting. The orange buttons look pretty good! The word HOLD will go over the milk jug piece; I printed it out on clear plastic and will sandwich them together.
I recreated the rectangular logo in the upper righthand corner too.
I still need to trim and clean up a few areas, but the build is nearly done. I'll be weathering this a fair bit too.

And yes, that is a floppy drive port at the very bottom on the right. I had it kicking around and thought it might be funny to add, especially with there being one on the locker widget.
