MR Falcon cockpit take 2

[Gunpowder]

As some of you may have seen I did a repaint and cockpit rebuild of the Master replicas Millennium Falcon. I was happy with the cockpit at first , but being someone who cant leave things alone I decided to take out the old one and make a new one complete with fully lit side and overhead consoles. Heres some progress shots of the new one. Its all a bit scruffy at the moment and needs more work but the general look is there. I need to tidy up some of the light painting too.

Thanks Guys. I am going to leave the bottom light strip on the rear wall out. The light from that tends to wash out the light from the fibre optics on the panels.

I think a tutorial is in order

That really does look amazing... How'd you get the cockpit off?

Twisted it and pulled it! I put a knife under the edge of the nosecone and twisted it.

Very cool tweak to a great piece. Man, I'm not sure I could ever get myself to twist on my Falcon.

Wow. I cannot wait to see the final product.

Just curious about how much of the overhead console is visible once everything is put back together?

Not alot really. Im going to try and dull down the strip light a little to make them stand out a bit more.

Awesome job!

All done. Im pleased with the result and i think it was worth doing. Next thing may be an asteroid base to fit over the standard one.
The first photo is before i blocked out all of the light leaks.
