Yeah...I agree with Katuna on that...cramped quarter makes for not so friendly crew Great work on that window et cockpit, btw

Thanks, J! I think you and Katuna need to be standing by the phone so I can run all these bad ideas through you first!

Hi Gang,

[Katuna]

Glad you're finally coming around to our way of thinking!

He's slow folks, but he is trainable.

Hi Gang,

Part XIII is finally here! Enjoy!

Thanks to all for your continued support!

Cool stuff Maynard. Should you have corner pads on the entry to the door recess? I'd rather run into the door frame than that sharp outside corner.

Are you going to actuate the door?

Looking at the end of your vid and the sneek peek, I couldn't help myself to see the cockpit close to the design of a Flash Gordon's ship...good stuff all in all

Corner pads? These guys have to learn how to navigate through the hallways. I can't make it 100% safe.

Not sure if I'm going to actuate the door but it will DEF slide. I may design and get the basic shell built this weekend... hmmmmm...

Thanks, J! The part your're looking at is the where the cconcussion tubes are located on the original MF. I may redesing that part - make it little lower and wider at the back.

Sofa! Loving your expanded work. However, is there still a 1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit in the works? Updates?

 

[Katuna]

Hey, I'm just sayin'. It's a litigious galaxy out there.

 

[joberg]

Actually Katuna, lots of designer/artists on SW were saying that there's a lot of dangerous places around the galaxy. No handrails, most of the time, and risky pieces of equipment lying around

This is where we are with the 1/6 scale YT-1300 cockpit.
