Added a clear coat to the center screen of the main console to give it depth. It will dry clear.

Need to add a couple more things to it and I think I will be done. (the center console, not the project )

 

[IzzyMel]

Gave the interior a clear coat (gives the interior a shiny look) and did some weathering. Finished the interior lighting as well. Only have the front part of the Cockpit top to finish. Almost there.

Nice! Are you going to make the wood version final or are you going to send it off to get 3D scanned/printed?

 

[earthdog]

Are you going with a clear or smoked glass?

Looks like your:

Are you going with a clear or smoked glass?

Not sure. Didn't think about it. I was thinking of leaving the glass out because, if i use smoked glass I'm not sure if you can see all the detail that went into the build.

That sounds great. Where can you that done???

I have no idea. I assumed you had a source since you had the original canopy done.

This is one of my favorite builds,you are killing it!keep going please,make a full x-wing,it looks so amazing now,I would love to see you finish the entire thing.it would be epic!

True. IMO smoked or lightly tinted would really bring the out realism, especially when all lit up, but your details would but be obscured.

You could always just make two! [emoji6]

Then you can hire a modeler to break down the parts individually for construction. It expensive though...

And then offset the cost by offering kits for sale!

Again expensive. Once they probably done scanning and a modeler has adjusted and fixed issues sized the mesh and found a printing company. Shapeways isn't great on prices fyi. You'll be looking at around 2-3 grand in R&D and then printing costs around $500 that is if you don't do a run then a run will lower costs.
