Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit

Dammit now I really want to build one of these, but then that leaves me with the standup SW to do something with.

I'll take it!

Just to check out the artwork file dimensions, I gave this a quick try.

I opened the full-size 300dpi artwork image and vectorized the outer shape (shown by the pink outline in the pdf). Then I'm getting decimal measurements of all the sides and tweaking the overall shape very slightly so the measurements conform to standard fractions - for example the top right section shows the rough decimal measurements, I'll move the corner point a little bit to get both those measurements to hit 6" and 6.5" evenly.

The smaller piece is definitely wrong, the artwork file doesn't show the outer shape of that frame.

Again, this whole thing could be wrong - the only way to tell is to measure the actual cab. Figured I'd see how this goes anyway.

if you look at the blown up picture

it looks like the artwork doesn't go completely out to the edges of the cockpit.  There seems to be a strip of black painted wood shown that appears to be somewhere between 1 or 2 inches.

Still awesome that we have the artwork to use.

Mayhap artwork setback measurements would be needed also then? top /bottom /left / right for the large panels?

The beam's artwork is inset, that would just be a matter of trimming to fit.

And keeping both wouldn't be an option?    :D
