Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I'm loving it as always man. Lights are looking good too, glad you got help on that.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Thank you, Sir! :) I'm a little frustrated... Every time I get ready to start up something happens, get a important phone call, have to travel, friend stops by, etc... GRRRRRR

Thanks guys! :)

OK... I've been feeling pretty good about the wiring process but I've run into a snag and I'm trying to figure out what's going on...

I'm using a 6v adapter to take place of the 4AA batteries that power the flashing LEDs. Everything lights up - but NO flashing. What did I do wrong? Is it the adapter?

Looking real good!
Why is it that blinky lights always make things look superb? :D

Hi N,

Thanks! No flashing lights yet! Still working that issue. But at least everything lights up and no blown LEDs, fuses, or house fires. But I've got my smores ready... :)

Almost there... Almost there...

Nose dive!

The only way to gain access was to tilt the entire console - I'm learning A LOT on what NOT to do for the next console

My arms were killing me - it was tight fit :)

Just wanted to thank Canobi for the awesome early Christmas Gift! :) Thank you my friend!

Here is the first of the 67,293 toggle switches

FANTASTIC GREEBLES! A a whole bunch of them too!

I'm hoping I can use this in the cockpit!

And last but not least! From Canobi Junior! He sacrificed a few toys for this project! A big high five to my number one buddy across the pond! :) Thanks "J"!!!!

Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Have you thought about using a few of the actual switches to control sections of the lights? Might be cool to have the 14 toggles on the center section of the console control lighting.

Hi D,

I have. I'm going to have a toggle control the back lights. :) I just wish I could figure out the flashing issue.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Ok, so this thing was damn cool before . . . But now is damn damn cool!!!! It's amazing what a little lighting can bring to the party. Fantastic job man, not just the lights but keeping yourself motivated this long.
