Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit

hmm looking again the flat piece at the top would not actually be flat if you did it that way.
if it was a flat piece it would sit where the green line is and would not be the same shape.
the top piece would need to be slightly u shaped too ( the pink line) to make the exact shape
just wondering overall if the metal sheets could be bent easily into the shapes as opposed to the extrusion method for the one piece.

The outer sides are 1" wide, as noted in one of my pics.  Separation would be probably 3/4" due to the thickness of the wood.  Inner sides also look to be 1" wide.  Thickness is probably 1/16"  or 1/32"

No problems..  All measurement are in millimeters.. cause it way more accurate :)




I'll be measuring and photographing all the other metal parts including the control panel and updating all the info to my website - I'll keep you guys posted.

thank you,

Looking at that i'm thinking my cab is going to have to have a milled piece of hardwood for a while.  I'm not looking at having it extruded.  I dont have the funds.  Although i might make it in steel and have it powdercoated.  That i could do.

The double angle top flat would the first piece, the 90 degree bottom would be the second leaving a milled flat for the third.  Tacking the flat to the double angle would be first. then after that was welded the bottom piece would be jigged in place and tacked.  Nice and simple and as durable as the original and made to the originals dimensions.
