Added the center switches. I've been told I only have 350 + switches left in this project. :eek

So you're not using just printed panels in the back?

I'm using them as a reference material for my build.

I did a little wiring this weekend.

Making room for the wires: IMG_20160111_083602 by Izzy Mel, on Flickr

Placing the red matting for the front lights

Hell of an amazing job. Just when I thought it couldn't get anymore amazing you go and add lights. Wow.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Phenomenal!

 

[Natedog]

Lights always put it over the top. Nice work.

Did you use SMD LEDs on a board or regular LEDs with a wire running to each?

 

[Weezer]

Flipp'n amazing!

I used the smd LEDs to light the interior. Still have fit it with some fiber up front. ☺

Thanks Guys,

Here is a pic comparison of my 1/6 scale cockpit to Sofaking01's 1:1 (therpf forum). Thanks to Sofaking01 and the ILM crew It's really close.
