1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

SofaKing01 How are things going? I only ask because you're a steady and frequent poster and its been a bit.

Hey LtW,

Things are going. I recently switched jobs so I took some time off and have been looking for a new house. Lots going on all the way around. I have been so busy at the shop, finding a house, etc... Posting to the RPF kinda fell off.

I know... shame on me!
 
Don't feel guilty. I was just worried that maybe there was some trouble. Glad to see everything is fine and the model looks amazing!

Its tough not to feel guilty after all the years of support and positive comments. You all have become like family and I dont ever want to disappoint or let you all down. :)
 
Too freakin' cool! Can't wait to see the box art!

Hey K! Not sure if there is going to be any box art for the cockpit. It takes 3-4 boxes to ship! Now that the kit itself is done I have to turn my attention to the actual "instruction manual" UGHHHHHHH lol
 
It's a joy to see you work, Sofa! I like the trick to ensure the seat an back lined up properly!

To music was nice too, classical goes well with handiwork!

Thanks, FF! I love classical music. YouTube has a music library for members who can use the music for free. It's really tough finding upbeat/classical music for the vids.

I feel the same way about this group, but when you don't post for a while I don't feel at all let down - that implies you owe us something, when in fact, if anything, the opposite is true.

From my perspective, when you DO post, it's like someone brought donuts to work for no reason at all - it's purely positive and purely a bonus. (y)

The only negative thought is this: When there's a long pause between posts, I sometimes begin to get concerned that there may have been a laser cutter mishap and you've had a hand Ponda Baba'ed/Luke'd/Wampa'ed/Anakin'ed/Vader'ed/etc. (Every Limb Lost in the Star Wars Films | StarWars.com) ;)

LOL! When it comes to the laser cutter I somehow see myself losing a toe or worse... a foot. ;)
 
I just watched it on my big tv. It looks really great. But what about the Tupperware lid? Is it not on this Nav chair?

Hey LtW,

The lid is on the way. Izzy had to print a new lid for me. I only had 2 lids for the cockpit chairs - which I will also be finishing up this weekend - hopefully!
 
Hi Gang,

Photos of the full scale build are NOW starting to trickle in from Dallas! Ken and his brother Mitch have started work on rebuilding a new corridor platform!

Hi Gang,

One more quick morning update before heading off to work...

The final 1/12 scale test print of the console decals are a success!

There were a few tiny sizing issues that need to be taken care of but they look great!

Izzy sent me some full scale "inertia" levers for the canopy

During my long vacation I also cut some details for the underside of the Nav Computer shelf

I think it adds that one extra level of detail :)
