Building the cockpit was the second most fiddly bit with the Falcon as it required careful selection of the end of the big cylinder and then extrusion before the rotation of the cockpit commences. Getting the correct size of this cylinder took twice as long as the others, as the schematics were not as helpful as possible for the recreation of the size.
The second part of the cockpit was easily built thanks to re-shaping the same end that was used to extrude the cockpit from the previous image. From then on, two Tauruses were used to outline the windows of the cockpit and then the same were duplicated and reduced to become the front lighting.
Similarly to the Tie Fighter, the side escape pods were made in the same way. This made the detailing in an improved way. Furthermore the two front teeth of the airship were pruned and given a shape that resembles the actual model. Similarly to the imperial cruiser, the side panels will be textured, however, by being shaped, the model will look even more professional.
Final aditions from today`s post involve the addition of cooling ports (4 circular at the front) and 3 square/trapezoid shaped cuts in the top. They were all done using the knife cutting tool, which provided a valuable and time saving experience.
