I came across this photo from a spaceship cockpit set used in a web series. Int. Cockpit - empty - Shoo by davidspencer, on Flickr

@WarPig - I'll be using RS Styrofoam sheets @Yellowjacket - LOL! I was trying to figure out how to make a "model" of the ship before doing the real thing, cardboard hadn't occurred to me. I found these from another scifi film that involves a spaceship cockpit (I posted an exterior photo...

I haven't started any part of production, other than planning the ship design. It's more of a teaser, less than 2 minutes long. The main part will be building the cockpit, then I'll have some post work doing FX for the exterior of the ship.

@CB2001 - Thanks for those links! @Jonny B - You gave me a really good idea for secondary display screens So, I know I'm using the foam. Does any liquid (non-spray paint) paint/primer work, or do I have to use a specific kind? What do I use to connect sheets together at the corners, or to...

Gritty metal with shiny touch screens. I dug through my files and found a rough idea of what I'm going for as far as the space/shape. I'd refine it more, but it gives you a basic idea of the space I'm looking at. The top part would be covered with a window. The main screen at the...

Randomly found this thread while doing a search for something else. Very very cool BTS photos. The Abyss is a film that fascinates me so much because of the fact that a lot of it was real...in actual water. I heard a story about one of the miniatures catching on fire after many hours of...

I'm planning on creating a small spaceship cockpit for a short film project. I'd be trying to make it as cheap and simple as possible. The size is going to be around that of a Viper or X-Wing cockpit, I'll also be going for a similar design. I'll use acrylic sheeting for illumination...

I did that. I know it is a real suit, so it should be possible to find the manufacturer. I'm wondering if maybe it is made in Canada...Fringe and Stargate were shot there.

I've noticed it popping up in a lot of shows, so I know it is a real suit, not something made for a show. Better off Ted - http://maxpictures.com/weblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/betteroffted-1.png Stargate -...

That is all!? I was thinking at least 1k when I thought of it.

Re: 1/2 scale Atlas from Portal 2 So epic!

LOL, I was wondering why it was so cheap. I'll just go with the Gato then.

Actually, this one, which seems to be neither types. :-P Amazon.com: ICMS006 1/72 U-Boat Type XXVIIB Seehund WWII Midgt Sub: Toys & Games

I did find the Type II U-Boat, still debating weather or not to go with it or the Gato.

@Nwerke - Right, I meant more detailed stuff that would show up further away, I don't know if I'd be able to do super close ups of the model anyway (although 1/72 is in the scale range used for Hollywood filming). @PHArchivist - Thanks! I'll be sure to check in with him. I know of two other...
