My try at building the 1/6 Scale Falcon Cockpit

[IzzyMel]

I thought it would neat to see what it will kind of look like with the back on it. Its held on by tape so it's just a preview of what it will look like.

Who cares it's not hot toys, the pride of what you have done will far outweigh just buying it .
great work, I need to get the finger out and start some 3D work, it definitely has a lot of applications in modelling

Thanks Vacformedhero. I'm having a blast with this project. I totally agree with you about the 3D modelling it's helped me with my build.

Great work indeed! I have to, sometimes, do a double take between your pics and Sofa's picsconfused:cool

That's an awesome compliment. Thanks joeberg. That's what I'm trying to achieve. I'm glad that it is having the desired effect.

When they are both ready you should display one inside the other

Brilliant, l know you mention it's scale 1/6 but could you put it next to something like a coke can when you shoot it next, amazing work.

So, I used this rubber matting that I found at Lowes for the Flooring. I think it looks way better than just a painted floor.

I'm going to extend it throughout the back as well.

I'm still working on it. In between travel, the move to a new house, and then finishing the basement.

thanks Laspector.

I glued down the black flooring. Need to do some touch up pain but it should be good. Also taped the rear shelf to see how it will look with and with out the Nav chairs in place.

Amazing work you've done (Sofa's pieces are helping for sure)...eager to see your next update!

Was able to work on the base for housing the future electronics for the Falcon.

Plan id to paint it black but I'm toying with the idea of maybe covering it in styrene panels like the outer shell of the Falcon. Maybe....
