MF_Cockpit-NavComm_12.126

While the goal of my project is to eventually build a whole scale model of the Falcon, I’m currently in a little cul de sac of building that includes documenting some of the full scale elements (at full scale in CAD) – specifically the cockpit. I’ll be 3D printing much of these full scale part at miniature scale (about 1/35) for my final model, but will need to run tests of parts as I go.

Here is a 1/6th scale (suitable for a 12″ action figure) of the nav come seat. It’s a fairly low res FDM print, but does it’s job to verify the geometry and help me to understand what details will hold at the miniature scale.
