Right so here we go......

I started this ages ago and have decided that I need to get cracking on it, I mean how hard can it be right!!

I have got the basic shape but I am now thinking it is to small !!

If any one can help me out on this I would be really grateful.

I just need to know the width of the cockpit!! Then I can get cracking..... help me freaks you are my only hope. :)

Looking good so far. I don't think it's too small at all. Here is a shot that shows the scale:

There's a better "making of" image in the latest Star Wars Insider, with Obi-Wan and Luke in the cockpit as well. I was a little surprised at how small it seemed.
 
Cheers Billy Ray. Yeah if you look at that shot you can see that Chewies feet stick out the bottom, like fred flintstone LOL
 
This was going to be my next project, until I started researching pics online and became overwhelmed. I wouldn't be happy without LEDs in the displays, and I have no clue how to do that s***.

If you can pull this off it will truly be awesome.
 
Cant wait to see this develop Dorg. I think you've got the scale about right. You defo need to get a Chewie STAT!
 
RJMacReady16, I agree it is gonna need lights but that maybe beyond me, but then again maybe i need a challenge like this to make me figure it out!

Wander... are you saying there is no point building this unless I have a Chewie??????? Well I totally agree. I was going to debut my Chewie in the Cantina booth Dio. But it seems more fitting to pop him out now! Besides I have some other surprises for the cantina booth I hope.

So......

Han and Chewie together at last... They are now off to see their good friend Dorgmal Snow.. to see if he can build em a ship. Chewies twin brother is residing with the Great Darth Gothikus.

:)

Well I have to say this is gonna be one long project and very challenging. I have started to construct a temporary structure to the cockpit. Just to get the feel of it and give me chance to see is the scale is correct. It is also throwing up lots of questions, like how the heck am I gonna be able to work on it if I build the top!! So I think I will try to construct it like the Hasbro one. Make it so the top comes off.....some how.

Any way Han and Chewie have now had a good chat to Snow and Dogmal says he will give it ago for a cuppa tea and some cheap biscuits......

So with out further chatting, here are so pics. :)

Wooo! You don't hang around my mate! It's looking great so far...
I definitely agree you're best doing the outer section as a removable shell. Must have blinky lights Dorg! I have a good feeling about this...
1st dibs on it if you decide to sell!!

LOL Sell it I have not even really started it yet LOL.
It will be a long project but thats ok. It took months to make the landspeeder but it was worth it.

Some more pics :)

Why dont you pick something hard to do next time :rolleyes:

Credit for even trying to take this one on, good luck m8

Seems like a good start, key will be the planning

Measure twice, cut once :)
 
LOL Mooncat, AT_AT next time then, and rest assured... I will get this done. THe pants economic climate is killing my toy funds :( so I will have to focus on building and using what I have rather than buying stuff.....

Brinn, just think how much it would cost to ship!!!!

I got some drawings of the cockpit on my computer at home, but since I'm up here at the hospital waiting for my wife to give birth. The drawings are of the entire cockpit sans the seats. They are based on the blueprints from ANH. I can e-mail them to you when I get home.
 
LOL I like your style!! U are about to become a father and you are gonna take the time to e-mail falcon plans LOL. That would be amazing!!!
