eh up all,
here is an old build but new to you folks,
i got myself an old mpc snowspeeder at a model show years ago as a break from the big bird(the 32"millennium falcon).
so to start off i didn't like the lack of detail in the cockpit area,the seats were to small and there was no side control consoles.so i used some plastic lolly sticks to make the seats longer,and cut down the head rest joinin the seats using some half mm styrene.and started makin up some pedals for the pilot.
here you can see the pillot foot pedals and the start of some of the consoles

on this console i used some half mm fibre optic cable and 2 small pieces of soldering wire to make up the detail on the console face and gave it a good coat of silver as a base coat.

here you can see the bottom 4 control consoles all painted up and ready

the next image you can see the bottom 4 in position and that i've started to put my half mm fibre optics in,i used a windproof lighter to melt and round up the heads of the lights this is just some of the lightin in so far
