Re: WIP: Shuttle Tydirium Teardown & Conversion
There seem to be several sellers and scales of those seats, (1/72, deagostini, Hasbro) Which ones did you end up getting?
Man, I need to go re-watch ROTJ....The front seats do, but rather than ordering two sets of falcon seats, just to get the four I needed, I just ordered the one set and put the falcon nav seats in there too

Thanks, I just wrote the guy to see if he could make a listing for just the flight seats. we'll see. I do like his stuff.

Joshua Maruska has unbelievably kindly made the Falcon front seats as 3D models for free!

You could download the STL file and print it on a friend's 3D printer or send it to Shapeways yourself. And then send Maruska a tip for a beer!

Re: WIP: Shuttle Tydirium Teardown & Conversion
OK!
So, sorry I took so long to update, but the Shuttle is now as done as any project can ever be. Got the weathering done, the registration marks and all that. I'll take another pass at it at some point, but I just don't see the shuttle being heavily weathered.
For the base, I used an old record turntable platter, and painted and chipped it up. Thought it looked pretty cool!
After that, It was mounting, attaching the wing guns and buttoning it up! Not quite sure what I'll be doing next.

Looks nice. I would have filled in the line on the side where the pieces go together. But really great job either way. That lighting crazy.

I seriously thought about it, but I wanted to be able to go back in when I learn more about Arduino and add in servo motors to actuate the wings via remote. That, and in case any component fails over the years, I want to get back in there instead of having to say "Well, that part used to do something, but it broke".

Ah, ok. Folding wings would be nice.
