Isn't it time to change the name of this thread to the 1:1 millennium Falcon COCKPIT Replica? :cool
I thought the door opens and closes automaticaly when someone comes close to it. It might be good to have a sensor eye somewhere hidden inside and outside the cockpit to activate a small motor on the door to achieve that. But if this is a place that will be many people at the same time then i assume the door will be always open

Fantastic!! Wooooo!!!!!
This is SUCH a fun build to follow...great work!
I was not ready for this level of excellence first thing in the morning, I now need sugary tea
WOW !!!!!!
Good lord this thing is so bad a**!!!!! That's the only words to describe it. I can't wait to see it lit up man, that's going to be intense!
One question on the white rectangle "strip lights", which you have yet to add... Didn't the AHN cockpit have strip lights along the lower section of the cockpit (as well as the top), or did they only show up starting with TESB?
Wow . . . speechless. That is just crazy . . .
Where is it going when it's done? And how do you plan on moving it?
Could I come over and have my picture taken in it?
Even though I've been following this thread for a while, seeing it put together today gave me a chill! It's really impressive.
As far as the fit, I think you're on the right track with the idea of widening the bolt holes to allow more tolerance during assembly. Depending on where it's set up at different locations, the floors may not be perfectly even. Trying to remake the panels to fit exactly could be an endless exercise in frustration. And, honestly, the tiny flaws may seem obvious to you but no one else will even see them. They'll be overwhelmed by the awesomeness!

Man, the "assembly" no doubt is the best and as I can imagine, toughest part. They certainly must have taken "Hollywood Liberty" with the blanket covering, or other tricks of the trade to link both the canopy with the rest. But it certainly seems you are heading in the right direction. You haven't stop for the past year and how long since you started this beast???? Keep it up, it is absolutely paying off now!
Sofaking, seeing it together like that with the door is epic in every sense of the word! When can I make a field trip down to your place???
Thank you, Sir! I do appreciate the kind words. You are welcome anytime! How good are you with an angle finder, mitre saw and braid nailer?
Actually quite good. Carpentry is another of my hobbies. Sadly though you're in Tennessee right? That's about a 12 hour drive...
DANG IT! I'm actually in Alabama so I may have just tacked on another hour or so...
:facepalm You think I could look under your avatar to find that out! :lol
Yep, another 45mins! One day I'll see if anyone here wants to join me for a road trip.

SK: This blows me away with every new stage of the build, you the MAN! D
Count me in!, you can drive to IL and I'd gladly take us the rest of the way cool
Hi Gang,
Just thought I would post this... Anybody else get chills around the 2:00 mark?
