I love your single point, but I think aesthetically I'd go for a long scope on this one.

Wow, that's amazing!

Those chairs are a thing of beauty!

Neat idea, and very well executed!

Large areas covered quickly with the very nice looks you managed to conjure is definitely satisfying! I hope to one day seeing the 1:1 cockpit covered in the same manner!

Realy cool!

I see you've given your daughter a classical education!

Absolutely beautiful!

I really like your com-box! One thing: The original helmets was put together in Britain in the 1970s, which means the screws would have been slot-headed screws rather than Philips-heads. For a "what the helmet should have looked like"-build that won't matter of course.

Here's a pick of an actual spaceship cockpit (Frendship 7), as you can see it's really cramped (we also see where the set makers from Alien got their inspiration):

Very cool! It's going to be interesting to see how natural weatherin affects the material in the cane, My guess is't going to take patina amazingly well!

Your cockpit certainly gets around Sofa (and deservedly so)! I wish someone here on the Old World side of the pond would put one together, following in the trail you have blasted it should be doable.
