Thanks all, my friends, you are too kind.
Here I want to start working on a very important component: the central consolle. Due to its central position it's a very important focal point and, being pretty complex, it deserves special attention by the builder.
Here is general structure with all the windows opened for the many little boxes that I'm going to realize.
The panels in C3 section are on two different layers and have many details to be added so I printed several copies. Here are the two layers (left upper, right lower).
Here is the upper panel (C2) with the two keyboards used to select every software function during mission.
The C3 panel with all details and the openings for the little boxes that simulates the recessed spaces where all the switches are placed in the real shuttle.
The little boxes are prepared
and some of them receive metal rods where needed
the boxes are glued to the rear
And this is the first complete panel element. Very nice!
Soon the center console-part two. Stay tuned
