Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit

[ChadTower]

Awesome.

[modessitt]

now all we need are the panel setback dimensions.

I know, I know.... Sorry.   Real Life has been intruding and taken a lot of my free time.  Still have the cab, so will get it done eventually....

I wasn't trying to be pushy or picky, i know all about real life intruding.  At the moment, i'm taking the transmission out of my jeep, need to replace control arm bushings in the wifes cherokee, and am in the process of painting the kitchen (next the living room, dining room, bedroom). 

new house woes along with overdue vehicle maintenance.

Is that a cockpit or standup CP?

thank you

for the controller part it doesn't matter. 

[ChadTower]

No, but I have two yokes, I'd need a CP.

[rovingmind]

 

and i dont even have one yet...

ignoring that outburst now, oooh dueling cockpits?

[ChadTower]

Well, to be fair, one is on a standup currently.

[rovingmind]

Thats cool you can end up with both.  Do you have a game room to hold everything? 

[ChadTower]

Not yet, soon hopefully.  I wouldn't want both, so if I built a cockpit, the standup would be sold.

I would keep the upright myself, because my cockpit is going to be powered by emulators and it wouold be awesome to have an original.  Plus i finally have room to store things as long as the wifes projects get completed too.

Stand up..

The overlay graphics on the stand up version continues all the way to the bottom of the CP where as on the cockpit version the graphics stop at the last bend in the panel - you can actually see the part number on the bottom right hand corner for the cockpit version..

To the best of my knowledge, the cockpit CPO has not yet been repro'd and is not part of the CAG set.  I do have a photo of the upright overlay on a cockpit cab and IMO it actually looks better..

Just an FYI...

I just got word from Steven at ArcadeShop that he will be doing another run of the Star Wars marquee overlays with the correct size (the old ones were 1/4 inch too short in width) in the next few weeks.

Pre order now so these get made quickly!

I just ordered mine.

I've been sort of out of the loop on all this, but I'm trying to figure out where all the latest info is and condense it into an easy to swallow wiki page:

Hoopstar mentioned that Modesitt's dimensions were a little off in places (mostly due to the rounded corners and the assembled cabinet making it difficult measure). Does anyone know which points in particular were most off?

[HoopstarsGarage]

My plan is to fully dimension this cabinet with all angles and measurements from the "real deal" that my project is based from..

Unfortunately "real life" has got in the way and stalled not only this portion of my project but also the replica cabinet.  Hopefully when things slow down a little, I can update this thread with the CAD drawings..
