Thanks people,
The RF detail was achieved with a hack saw to make the hole and to roughen up the edges, then I put in some electrical wire, then melted some solder around the hole (took me a few attempts to get it right, now its solid as a rock) and finally painted it - also the stalk was originally a gold colour painted silver so I could scratch it off realistically.
Yeah askywalker I know there's more screen accurate damage to add and that's what I'll be working on next (I'm dreading doing the back of it so I might make that part particularly sarlacc damaged 
).
The burns I marked out with a soldering iron (this strips the paint VERY effectively) and then I just painted them in. All paints are enamel and a combination of rattle-can and model paints.
No. I have this cupboard see, and it brings toys to life, but I've since lost the key and frankly the little **** has become a real pest.
Thanks for the kind words.
