Hey Iz,

There is still an opportunity to create the complete cockpit cylinder and nose cone instead of cutting it off at the platform! I say go for it!

I did a little more detail work on the inner canopy top. (hoses, wires, overhead details, handles):

hoses along the front wouldn't stay put.

I glued them together:

attached small piece of velcro so it would stay in place:

Did some more work on the canopy(paint and added a couple more greeblies and piping). I'm not sire if I want to paint it all grey and black. I do like the way the red wires and copper do look. Thoughts???

I finished the Back wall of the Falcon minus adding some colored transparency on the non detailed side to help with the color of the lighted squares and LED dots.

I tried to get a few pics of it standing up so you can see the colored squares better, don"t mind the messy walkout;

Hey Iz,

I'm sure you already know... The door pads are flush with the back wall panels so you'll have to fab a housing for the door and then attach the pads to that. Ship of Riddles my friend... Ship of Riddles...

SofaKing01,

Trying to get it to look as close to your build as possible. I finished a couple of more side panels;

Started to finally assemble the back. Made the floor from 3mm styrene and glued the back wall to it.

Looking good!

AWE MAN! The door is too short? Do you want another laser cut door?

I think I can fix it. Not to mention that it's at the bottom. Thanks Sofaking01. I think this is my test model to see how everything fits. Trial and error.
