My try at building the 1/6 Scale Falcon Cockpit

[IzzyMel]

Great work happening in here! Would you entertain making elements of this build available in resin (pilot and passenger seats)? If so, you're sitting on gold buddy!

Thanks Ahab. The seats are not my design. They can be found here for anyone to print: https://grabcad.com/library/millennium-falcon-captain-s-chair and here: https://grabcad.com/library/millennium-falcon-cockpit-nav-seat


started to glue frame together and decided to take a few pics from the inside looking out:

Im in the process of printing the arm shelf.

 

[hemble]

Just awesome mate.

 

[IzzyMel]

So I added the front part of the arm shelves to get an idea of how high I need to add a base for the console and the Capt Chairs. May need to be a tad higher to be accurate.

Here is what it looks like without the base:

Oops too low.

 

[IzzyMel]

So I created a base for the seats and console which makes it more like the ANH version as it had 3 steps instead of two. I think it will help with room for the Hot Toys figures that I got for this project. Here are some pics of the base with the seats.

Now for some fun with it. I wanted to see if Han and Chewie would fit and how they would look. 1st Han:

A lot more work to go but it's getting there.

 

[IzzyMel]

So had been working on two of these but stopped on the 1st one. I took the back off of the 1st and put in place temporarily until I make one. I placed a ruler in the background to give you an idea of it's size.

I cannot believe the level of detail you are putting into this.

Obviously a labor of love.
