My try at building the 1/6 Scale Falcon Cockpit

[IzzyMel]

Those Volvo dash panels are looking awesome! They are really going to set off those side panels!

Thanks SofaKing01. It's a 1st draft the Volvo panel. Trying to get it as close as I can to Stevestarkiller's 3d model of the panel. Just realized that I placed it upside down on the lower side panel.:facepalm

That looks AWESOME Izzy! Can't wait to see more!

Really appreciate it. Wouldn't be possible if I didn't have a good 1:1 scale to model after.

I think that was my fault when I quickly put that image together.... OMG... I did to mine as well! LOL

Yeah I thought those volvo panels were facing upwards on the bottom of the panels... At least that's what I did with my DeAgo cockpit panels...

Those panels are looking mighty good

Still working on the Volvo Panels; Here is the new model:

Sad thing is that its too thin/fraglie to print on my printer. :cry

I was also working on the MK4 Greeblie that SofaKing01 has for the 1:1 Cockpit:

Here is the original:

This is taking longer than I thought. But that's OK with me.

[Pcoz]

That looks amazing! Well Done!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! NICE!

Excellent work! And since this is a "huge Falcon cockpit" build this might be a cool story behind the "real big scale" cockpit build from Roger Christian himself.

Thanks to Scot. I was able to print the circle frame that connects the front window panes to the main nose frame;

I temporarily hot glued it in place to see how it fit. After talking to Scot, Dan, and Sofaking01, I will need to thicken the window frame.

looking good! I was just building a model of that scalloped windowframe yesterday as well.

That window is looking awesome! It's so weird looking at it in 1/6th scale. Gotta admit, it is pretty neat we're all working the same thing but in different scales and mediums

The plus is I can get it out of my garage in one piece.

I can sit in mine! Wait... no I can't! The seats are too small! DANG IT!

:lol Reminds me of the Air Force joke I heard. F-16 is escorting a C-130 on a transatlantic flight. 2hrs in, the Fighter pilot says to the Pilot in the C-130... Watch this. So the F-16 proceeds to show off all these acrobatic maneuvers. So what do you think? The C-130 pilots says oh yeah. Watch this... 5 minutes go by and nothing. The Fighter Pilots say what did you do? Well, I got up grabbed a cup of coffee, stretched my legs, used the restroom.

Something along those lines
