1:1 Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica - Group Build

Hi Gang,

Well... this is it. A few more hours of touch ups and other little things then we break everything down and head south to BHam for the Phoenix Festival! Enjoy!

I realized I had the wrong colors on the door greeblies so I changed them around

This is the most fun on the board in years. Honestly amazing.

Here's a small contribution that I'm sure is fairly obvious. The cables that run along the windows look like this metal casing that binds the electrical wires in my 1940's built home....bx-seatekco_com_.jpg

Cutting it close... Daniel immediately got to work on covering the exposed barlights

Thank you for the very kind words. I really appreciate the support. :) Funny you mention the cables... I was at the local home improvement store last weekend looking at that very thing. We're getting close to detailing the canopy and those are exactly what the original designers used. :)
