I've been super busy with work, but I squeezed in some time to continue working on the cockpit. After multiple test and failed prints, I ended up with acceptable prints of all the cockpit assembly pieces. The photos pick up every flaw, so I think they look slightly better in real life. My plan is to use fiber optics for the various control buttons, but I may reprint the dashboard using translucent resin and backlight it instead. We'll see what happens after I try drilling a few micro holes.
Here are the unpainted pics:
And here's the painting underway but not finished. I've since gone in with some silver Rub N' Buff on a toothpick to add some metal scraps to the edges here and there. I'll post some more pics later.
I've also been fitting the canopy bubble to the printed frame. I'm going with the clear bubble from the toy and filed and sanded it closer to the V-shape of the original. The original is still more of a pointy arrowhead shape, but I can live with this. Now I need to use some elbow grease and polishing compounds to get it back to crystal clear.
Thanks for looking!
