Alright, here's the finished product! I should definitely mention I could not have finished this bench without the monetary donations from the members of Garrison Titan and a good friend Micheal here in town who has spent nearly every weekend in my garage assisting with the project, usually being assigned with the not so glamorous stuff. He has poured so much money and time into this along side me, and I can't be more gracious.
Combine this with the "functional" table I created last year or the Augmented Reality application my friend/developer Adrien and I are working on, and it becomes something magical:
Thanks for following along!

Original Post:
I've started to build a full scale Falcon bench for my local Star Wars costuming groups to take to conventions and accompany my Holochess Table. Due to time constraints (Hoping to see this thing done in under 3 months) I'm having to make some compromises at the sake of accuracy, but I'm confident it will end up looking good in the end.
I wanted to log my progress here in the hopes that some of the more seasoned minds here might be able to help me identify some parts.
I'm using dimensions found in these blueprints (This thing is big):
I've designed and started to build a basic frame:
I was hoping some here might be able to assist me in identifying some parts, I know a lot of parts tend to show up all over the Star Wars galaxy, so there is a chance someone has already identified these on another project.
The first are the spherical lights that line the top of the bench, these lights seem to be used all over the falcon in multiple colors (white, red, green, blue, yellow). They seem to be some sort of vintage lamp lens and look to be approximately 1.5" (4cm) or so in diameter. They look to be nearly identical to these, but these are too small
If I cant find a source for them, any suggestions on how to fabricate them (cut acrylic spheres perhaps)? or an alternate source for the chrome ring around their base?
The second is this box that is embedded into the seat "cushions" it looks to me to be some kind of electrical junction box, perhaps the box even came with some of the greeblies already in it. It also appears to me to have some aluminum rotary knobs in it? Anyway, Im at a loss and just guessing.
Here are some example junction boxes, and the aluminum knobs I'm referring to.
