building my own snowspeeder
- Thread starter dnalor
- Start date
i'm still thinking about the lights...
i don't know if there is any space for the leds and cables..
so i have to build first the cockpit...and look then were to hide everything..
i build a fast half helmet for checking the size of the figures..
and i think they are large enough...
So that's positive
Now the complete figure.
The cockpit is going slowly..i designed the buttons and made the layout..
Now i have to glue them and do a little layering for the 3d effect.
i also found some great plastics for the windows..but that is for the final.
and i think they are large enough...

Mmmmm... Maybe the pilot has a large enough 'cavity' to firmly insert the Arduino into .............
If it's big enough, you could shove all sorts of things up there .......sign1

i think i need al the space to get a skeleton inside the man..
Somehow 80gr paper is a little flimpsy..but with the lack of some better paper..
i have to make something to carry it.
And i know for sure that these 2 pilots will be the only ones build like this..
because DAMN those are dificult and packed with little stuff .......and that is really true.

ok..
the first pilot test fit..
i finally found again some carton which was almost large enough for the outer shell of the cockpit.
cut it up a little made a mesh/grid for the front of the speeder installed it looks nice.
installed the cocpit and to cut a lit off it because he was to large..

Have you considered making a full size cockpit! I know you could. A personal man cave, you get home from work, close the cockpit, and watch TV in your air conditioned Cockpit, put four wheels and make a Velomobile, you'd make a fortune off of it!!
My wife would hate that...
come home from work and go sit in a man coccon ......
a tv...airco...microwave incl a fridge with all in 1 ready meals...

somethimes...when they are very clearly visible..
but normally everything is grey....and then you don't see it that much.
And some error's with glueing i mask with some colour
