Coffee cups used in the briefing room (TOS)

I tried matte acrylic paint on styrofoam with a brush as part of a different project i am working on. apart from being difficult to apply evenly, it works and doesn't interact badly with the foam like some paints.
 
Have any of you tried to use a standard spray bottle to add milk or cream into your own coffee?
I'm curious if that is a better way to do it, or is the standard way of pouring from a bottle or cartoon better?

In the 32nd Century, Stamets hasn't upgraded his Spore Chamber Door to something more fancy.

He's still using 21st Century Hydraulic Arms on his Spore Chamber Door.
Sigh.

What's not broke, don't fix.
 
Don't sell butter knives short, the sharpened serrated variety can cause serious dermal abrasions requiring antibiotics and bandaid.

I wonder if a small roller would work better.

It's a slower method, but the real problem is cleaning the spray bottle afterwards.
 
Any idea where to find those cups in 1:6 scale for my Star Trek action figures?
Unfortunately everything in that scale seems to be either a ceramic mug or a Starbucks logo cup. If you know somebody with a 3D printer maybe they can make something for you in the right shape, and then you could paint them silvery gray like in the show.

Or paint over the Starbucks cup, if one can be found. Since the Mego figures aren't 100% accurate, it may be enough to do the job.
