DarthDuck, I guess you don"t need to make a seat, apparently they pilot standing up :) LOL

Yeah, go figure on that one, huh? I mean we "know" the TIE didn't carry "life support", hence the oxygen apparatus. So they certainly didn't carry artificial gravity? What- did their boots lock in place? I dunno but that's the problem between shooting models, screen sets (interiors) and sci-fi all mixed together!:lol
 
Here's a pic of the full sized cockpit if that helps.

Is he navigating the Titanic here or what? Great pic Rich!

In screen caps you can see a couple of lights on the "control yoke" and I also like the idea of lights coming from what could be the gun triggers atop the end of the yoke. So brass tubing was added to the "grips" and a lil surface mount LED was prepped to hide within the "column".

I like to mount the light source as close as possible to the actual visible portion because I've had bad luck with longer runs of FO eventually failing over time whenever they make any kind of bends and such?
