1/6 Scale X-wing Cockpit Only

I was able to do a little more work on the cockpit. I can say that I'm almost done adding the details to the front of the cockpit. Still have a few more hoses to add to the rear, finish glazing and painting the exterior, some weathering on the inside, some lighting and a 12 button relay for sound. Here are a few more shots with some more added details. :)

Left side of Cockpit; some of the pin striping got washed out with the flash.

I also made quick youtube vid. Sorry the bad audio. Maybe one day I'll figure out how edit these with music or something.

Here is the same vid as above but I added the star wars theme song, so you don't hear me breathing. :)

Have you thought about adding maybe some kind of pedals (not bicycle stuff--stuff like in an airplane) or detailing down in the section where his legs go?
 
added some more detail to the back of the canopy today: :)

Had to take some liberties with some of the details in back. Not enough information or clear pics for the back canopy:

Got some LED's in today, along with the digital photo key chain. I'll see how they work and let you know if it works.
 
Got some progress done today. I began marking the panels for the outer skin. Trying to get a feel for what to do. I decided to cover the outer skin with 1mm styrene panels, but 1st I had to mark the panels. :)

Bottom panels:

Not sure what bird this is going to be, but some of the X-wings had beveled corners on those side panels. And wiring sockets.

:)

Thanks for the pics. I'm pretty partial to red 3 or red 5. I'm using oldmans swing PDF files for ref so I'm not sure what he used. :)
 
WOW! She's really coming along! Have you considered any working electronics?

After taking a closer look... it's almost worth building the four engine intakes! Come on.... you know you wanna! ;)
 
Thanks guys.

SofaKing I have some fiber optic bars coming in. Also, have two sets of different LED kits. Still trying to figure out how to run the lines. Think I may add sound effects for it as well. Not enough room on the shelf for engines.:cry
 
Hi Izz,

I'm totally oblivious when it comes to electronics. That's why I hand all that neat stuff to our sound and lighting guys - but I am slowly learning.

I wasn't saying to create the entire engines, just the large intakes. Maybe a cutout to see the size? ;)

Keep up the great work.
