Efx xwing cockpit redo

[BrundelFly]

I have to have an EFX XWING Missing a cockpit.
(Dont ask why)

So I molded one, to complete it...but then thought"Wouldnt it be cool to CHANGE it?

THis is what I have so far.

Holes can be drilled into the top, if you wanted to LIGHT that area, but I was going after the Screen and gauges.
Ill get JT Graphics to make a cool transparent decal.
Its probably more accurate to the VIDEO Game version of the XWING, but I like the look. I also like the gauges as to me, they pay homage to the studio scale filmed model in a strange sorta way.


Im also thinking of redoing the canopy. If you shave the front cockpit floor panel down (see pic) , the seat can be lowered, and Lukes head does hit the glass.

So the Canopy can be made smaller. I think its slightly oversized.

When I get that far I will update ya.

I think yours looks way better frank. Nice work!

 

[BrundelFly]

Thanks!

 

[moffeaton]

I want to go to there!!!

Why EFX/MR or any other company doesn't hire people like you Frank is beyond me. Well done. Are you installing fiber optics?

 

[BrundelFly]

Who said they didn't hire us?


But thank you!
Yeah I was going drill holes in the top. Believe it or not..the full size set DID have Lights there. Smaller..and in a line. SO I was gonna FO. I cant wait to light this.

I dont know if I should cast it in CLEAR...or...just drill out the screen and guages.

 

[moffeaton]

I have more luck drilling.

(that's what she said!)

I think yours looks better too. If you want to light the display and gauges i think it would be easier and cleaner looking to cast in clear. You can always drill it for fiber after if you need mutiple colored lights.

 

[BrundelFly]

Ill try both.

 

[nightrider]

That looks nice Frank.:thumbsup

 

[clancampbell]

Yup, yours is mucher nicer and cleaner!

 

[BrundelFly]

Thanks...Im gonna sell some. Stay tuned.

Will they fit in the V3 Xwing?

 

[BrundelFly]

THis is the EFX cockpit....but where there is a will there is a way.

I know you said not to ask but I just have to ask...why would they ship an X-Wing to you without a cockpit and why didn't you have them correct it?...given what this model costs?

 

[BrundelFly]

That's between me and EFX.

;-)

 

[BrundelFly]

Someone needs to make a COOL GRAPHIC for this!

Anyone?

 

[moffeaton]

I'll do it, Frank! Can you send me dims in millimeters?

I did the Falcon Cockpit back wall after all

 

[Wes R]

I agree that your version is way better looking than what they put in that thing.

Will a cockpit like this fit in the new Legacy collection Wedge Antilles X-wing ?? It needs a lot of work and that cockpit would be a great start. Was also wondering if the huge Droid socket could be used to house the battery for lighting, with a scaled down droid head as both a cap and switch to turn the engine/cockpit lights on & off ?
