AWESOME! Looking forward to seeing some primer and paint! Now if only I could get my build to move as fast!
The Nav chair is not bad at all...a little more TLC on the smoothing and they would be A+...I know that it's a learning experience and we appreciate the effort you're putting into it!

Shape of the console looks right. Question: the greeblies on the console will be done from scratch, or are you going to keep that photo representation of the controls?
Where does everybody get dimensions of the cockpit from. Is there a blueprint out there somewhere I don't know about,
I plan on building them from Scratch or find something that closely resembles the ones I can't.
Hey B,
I've been working very closely with Starkiller (he created a 1:1 scale Falcon in 3D) for my project. And I'm passing along a few images for Iz to work his 1/6th scale. BUT, there is a blueprint of the basic cockpit size and shape but ZERO plans for details, seats, etc. For example, we now know the pilot/copilot seats are Hunt Master seats from the 70s and the Nav chairs are Martin Baker ejection seats (Type 4 I believe).
Hope this helps?

Hey Iz,
She's looking great so far! I have most (99%) of the greeblies should you need a working file. I'm not sure how you're going to fab all these parts. Normally I would say I feel sorry for ya having to create all those details... but this is part of the adventure!

Hey Iz,
Quick Question: Are you going to create the entire exterior of the cockpit like the Hot Toys version?

Thanks man, I definitely need to get with you on this. I just need the basic dimensions of the console and center section. I'm building the 5 Foot Falcon and I want to have a more accurate cockpit. I know ILM was rushed on the models and didn't really match it up too well. Ah the pressures of deadlines.
What scale is the 5 footer?

Hey Iz,
Looking GREAT so far! Those throttle greeblies look awsome! We still have no idea what they are despite having seen a close up photo with "MOD" serial / production number on the side. Even Wavey can't figure it and he's the master! They still remain a mystery!
Just a reminder: The lower instrument panel has a slight tilt going up toward the upper instrument panel - it is NOT flat. I didn't know ho screen accurate you wanted to get.
Looking forward to more!
Thanks. I want to make it as accurate as I can. If I can I may go back and try to make the throttle greeblie out of thin aluminum. It looks like it's made from two separate pieces???
