I finally got a chance to do some more work... After inspecting the back wall I found it completely unacceptable, and scratch built one. I started with two circles the same size as the kit clear part. I then lined up where the lights were on one circle and cut those and the door inside dimension out. I glued those pieces to the back of the solid disc. From the back I cut out the door on the front piece. I then added a rectangle-ish piece on the inside portion and again cut out the interior door from the back. That left me with a relief protrusion for the padded portion of the door way, a lightable light bar and an open door. I took one of the door pieces and glued it onto yet another circle, this time made of clear plastic so the door itself sits deeper than the back wall. I cut out the outer space outfitters rear door pieces to fit around my crafted door. I still have to drill some holes for the fiber blinking lights to complete the part.
Next I did a quick and dirty paint job to the assembled base cockpit area...
I also started building up the console with it's fiber optic holes. I used a broken drill bit cut into small sections for my control sticks, then used some white glue to add a "handle"... not as nice as I hoped, but at this scale and with my skills, it's good enough. Still need more detail paint and some toggle controls.
I wasn't sure if I could pull off blinking computer lights on the overhead controls, so I tried with the free versions listed here. I cut out some thin plastic to give some more ridgidity to the flat sections, glued on the paper controls and drilled out some fine holes for fiber. I'm hoping I can get enough of a bend in the fiber to allow running the fiber down, under the floor and back into the hallway where the 4060 lighting circuit will hide.
Next up is completing the console paint, running fiber and building a light box for behind the back wall.
