That thrust lever is fantastic. You've been earning the good result of your reseach effort.

Hi Gang,
More updates! Enjoy
Pics of the Radar Surround
All the holes are set for LEDs
And a little paint...
Cut a hole for the matte box / view screen and added another layer of paint
I removed all the pin stripes and Bondo'd the divots
A little more sanding to go...
I laser cut spacers for the 2 lever throttle but I knew the MDF would never work so I picked up a pipe at the local home improvement store
After cutting the pipe I test fit the newest greeblie
I still need to cut the bolts to fit, add filler, sand, primer, sand, paint and weather...
Tomorrow... Paint!

Hi Gang,
Another day at MGL!
Cut the area for the view screen
Primed the radar surround
Filled those 1" holes on both sides of the console armrest with a dowel and Bondo
Work on the new 2 lever greeblie required cutting a metal pipe
Resulting in spacers - the masking tape helped keep the spacers center on the bolt
More of the 2 lever greeblie getting primed and filled
I then had an idea for the yokes... More to come on this!
Tough to tell but just wait...
I then cut another test slider
Primed and painted lever greeblie
Armrest finally getting a coat of paint
Nice and clean
A few more little areas to fix
Back at home putting the lever greeblie together and a extra layer of satin black
The very center circle (with the bolt) will be painted silver
I've very happy with this greeblie - I love the Laser Cutter
As always... More to Follow...

Hi Gang,
A few more for this evening!
Added the handle padding
Can't decide whether to paint or dip the handle pads
Stay Tuned!

Use Plastidip of the pads.

Hi F,
Thanks so much! I can't wait to see it finished as well. We're SO close to adding the lights and sound.

I knew someone was going to notice that!

Thank you, Sir! I hope?

I'd settle for just getting it out of the garage

That would be a day long remembered... a very sad day
Hi A,
Thanks for the great link! I think the the original levers came out of commerical airliner - too expensive. The levers I created were done using acrylic - not the strongest material. Visually it looks good, but I just hope someone doesn't YANK the lever and break it.

Thank you, my friend! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Only 4,236,728 more greeblies to go.

Thank you so much! The CNC, Laser Cutters, etc have made ALL the difference in the world. It's raised everything to a new level. The best part - the fun factor is back!

Hey J,
Thank you so much! Even though it's one greeblie, the laser cutter made all the difference in the world.

Just wait till the yoke - I have an idea cooking for that greeblie!

Hi Darth,
Agreed! I'm picking that up this evening. I'm hoping it will have that "mass produced" look and feel to it.

hey my name is Micheal, am 3D modeler here in Huntsville and have a background with Solid Edge Modeling for about 5 years and I am currently working on an engineering degree at UAH while working as a lab assistant at Mindgear Labs where I run around the place helping out with the various equipment. I am excited to be a part of the project and hope I can bring some new equipment skills with the cnc and laser cutter to the project to build various greeblies and bounce ideas around. Along with being a big Star Wars fan I am also a big Trekie as you can see by my side build http://www.therpf.com/f9/scratch-tos-phaser-build-206392/ .
