My try at building the 1/6 Scale Falcon Cockpit

[IzzyMel]

Very impressive IzzyMel. Are the transparent pieces 3d printed as well? I didn't know you could do that.

Nate,

They are laser cut acrylic.

You're doing an awesome job man! Keep it up.

Awesome work mate, really loving the details.

I added the arm levers to the center console. Have fill, sand, then paint.

At this rate, you'll be finished long before HT gets theirs out, if they ever do.

Thanks for sharing this incredible work! :clap

With the help from SofaKing01 and Operascot (over at the RPF Forum) I have been doing some frame work on the nose of the Falcon. It should look familiar to those whom have seen the 1:1 Millennium Falcon cockpit.

Very Impressive

I am so envious of folks like you that can build this sort of stuff. I was floored right off the bat, just by those levers you made of the metal tubing. This sort of scratch-building stuff is so awesome, to me, it just looks like gluing random stuff together and making it look awesome. Just the patience you have for measuring and cutting. . . I just couldn't do it.

Awesome work yet again on the details on the console mate and looking forward to seeing more of the frame work.

Ron

 

[IzzyMel]

Did some more work on the frame.

Great work, IzzyMel! Its always great to see one-of-a-kind builds.

 

[IzzyMel]

Thanks guys for all the compliments.

Working on making a small 3d model of the volvo panel so I can print it. Hope I got the dimms right. At this point its a best guess.

[hemble]

Love looking at how you are doing this build mate keep em coming.

Ron

 

[IzzyMel]

Here's what it looks like. I probably need to adjust the angle slightly but I think its a good start.
