The original cockpit which is a massive resin block and walls made of styrene to build the new cockpit
The primed insert of the cockpit
The painted insert
Insight view of the outer cockpit hull
The cut out at the rear side is needed as an outlet for the optical fibres and wires
The cockpit insert with the optical fibres mounted. Unfortunately the 0,5 mm fibres at the side broke after assembley of the outer hull due to a too smal bending radius. The 0,25 did not=> lesson learned for the next project
The pre painted outer cockpit hull with clear styreane for the windows mounted yet and the cockpit insert ready for assembley. Te crew consists of Bossk, Asaij Ventress , young Boba and Aura Sing
The front section of the fuselage below the not yet assembled cockpit with a chanel for the dashboard wiring and the bore to store the optical fibres and wiring to the middle section
Front area of the middle section with a huge hole to pass all the optical fibres and electrical wiring through
Reae view into the hollow middle section. The LED for lighting the engines and its electric circut is installed yet
The electric circuts for the red, blue and whit cocpit LED´s. The circut will be stored in the hollow middles section of the fuselage. The led´s of the dashbord illumination will be conneted directly to the battery pack
The rear section with the rear wall of the middle section
The scratch built and illuminated dashboard before assembly. Unfortunately This will not be visible after assembly =>lesson learned for the next project
Under view of the cockpit. The four small wires comming out of the small hole are for the dashboard illumination.
The prepainted cockpit assempled at the front fuselage section.
top view at the painted but not weathered rear fuselage section before assembly at the middle fuselage section.
Underview at black base coated the middle fuselage section before detailpainting.
Under view of the readdy assembled, painted and weathered Houndstooth.
Side viev of the finished models. The base is a wooden box, the tube to connect the base and the model is of carbon fibre.
The teeth symbols are decals, the red stripes are air brushed despite they are as decals in the kit. This makes weathering more easy.
View into the cockpit. at the left, Bossk, in the middle Asaj Ventress, at bthe right Aura Sing. Boba is not visible. At he end i am a bit disapointed of the lighting effects. They are behind my expectations

Isn't this Bossk's ship? I remember that name from my Tales of the Bounty Hunters book. Extremely cool project!

@Rando: You´re right . I also put Bossk in the cockpit but unfortunately despite the large and plain windows illumination inside is poor. There are also one episode of "Clone Wars" where you can see this ship.
