My try at building the 1/6 Scale Falcon Cockpit

Well here is my 1st attempt with the Aluminum and brass tubes to build the levers. Best I could do at 1/6 scale.

Thoughts?

Anyone else work with his stuff? if so how did you or what did you use to help with the cutting of the metal tubes? They seem to be easily deformed when you cut them. Thanks in advance.:)

the brass I had , I came across a similar problem, best I could come up with was rolling the tube on the cutting mat with a sharp knife and you could snap of the piece cleanly
 
Did some more painting and detailing of the console( worked on the front upper panels of the console).

Here are the yokes painted:

Any recommendations for lighting source for in the center console??? I have tried EL wire ( not strong enough) It has to be no more than 3mm thick - so it can fit in-between the panels. Thanks :)

hmmmmm... you might have to redesign those back boxes to allow for more room / depth, but I would suggest one or two main LEDs even spaced apart which would then back light ALL the holes and use different color translucent paint for each LED hole? However, you can get 2mm LEDs but I dont know how much room you need?
