I tried that - all I get are lamps and flatscreen mounts. I might have to start calling the suppliers... But thanks again for the image. At least I now know they do exist!
Found it! They call them solo work surfaces.

Hi H,
As it is now, the shelf bracket is already in the way. Unless the instrument panels were somehow connected to the nose panels, the swing arm would definitely be too low and even more in the way. We're going to address this issue with the next console. I'm planning on making the upper and lower instrument panels one single unit/housing. Should be very interesting...
Hi Gang,
No real updates for today. A few of us met at the lab to discuss ways to move forward. Depending on what direction we take, a decision must be made very soon (big changes are coming). Mike has his marching orders with a few important 3D related tasks... this will result in some 2D work for me and ultimately end up with the CNC, laser and vinyl cutters - more on all that to follow! The panel lights look great - I'll upload pics this evening.
I contacted several companies re: the swing-away / pivot arms and both are anxious and willing to help. I also touched base with Daniel, who also has welding experience, and we'll be looking at other options for the seats. And we start moving the cockpit to the lab.

I'm going to disagree with you and say it's actually better than the original. It will for sure be more interactive than the original, and at least in my eyes it's better because I may actually get to see this one in person some day.
Hey T,
I just stumbled across your post... Thanks so much! There is a show in the Dallas / Ft Worth area that we're considering attending later this year. We just might have to get you a front row seat!
One thing I know is for certain... Sofa's is WAY better than the "Star Wars Holiday Special" version of the cockpit!
Hey T,
I think we should switch gears, start over and recreate the "Star Wars Holiday Special" cockpit... That would be a good idea... right?

Hi Gang,
As promised, here are the pics of the panel lights...
I wasn't happy with how the white panel light turned out. I'm going to take a new lens and add the rings to the back and see how that looks
Awesome! They add one more level of detail to the console
More to Come!

You never fail to amaze. Can't wait to see what you come up with this weekend.
