Check out this screen grab of the toggle switches on the left side. It would appear the toggle switches are ALL counter sunk and then a chrome beauty ring rests around the edge on top of the panel. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
hmm, I think you're right about these switches. They don't look much different than the switches in the cockpit (at a glance) but I don't know if they're definitely the same ones, especially since this is the ESB nav console... but I may try to counter sink the switch model and see how it looks in the cockpit.
Finally textured the crash couch with the proper grime, grit, wear, and tear. I also back-lit a number of the buttons with the circular hole configuration that Sofaking noticed. Take a look at these renders. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
They're cases for 2" videotape reels, also known as "quad". TV industry was transitioning to 1" around that time, so throwouts were probably easily had. They're also seen as part of Han's reward in the rebel hangar.
And the renders are awesome! (Repeats in the weathering apparent, tho. )
I'm finding plenty of images of 2" quad video reels, but very few of that style of case. Do you know if there was a particular brand that used them, of if that type of case had its own name?
