B747-400 Cockpit Project WIP.

Both the models look great. Here is a link that might be handy for you. It's the MS25212 milspec for panels. I'm guessing it's same for commercial panels too.

Click the Reversion C PDF icon. Hopefully this'll help with measurements.

My notes:
DZUS holes every .375"
Backmount Al plate .040"
Light Plate Thickness .230" +- .023" (I use .25" plexi)
Light Plate .047 +- .016" smaller length and width than backmont plate

Man, if only we could press print on that and have a "STAR TREK" Replicator create one..

Nice job!

I tell you what, if there was such a thing as the holodeck, I would be in there flying a 747 all the time. It would be the ultimate experience. Program the holodeck to have the 747 docked at Heathrow. Passengers are loading in and I would have an all female flight crew

Aw man when are they going to invent the holodeck......

Hello Phil,

Do you have a drawing of the measurements of the 744 overhead?

I'm tring to find them on the net but after a lot of searching nothing yet.

Wow,

this is very good work. I do modelling but rendering and placing decals is still uncharted territory for me.
I do know that the 360 photo view renderer of SolidWorks 2010 has a light emitting property for materials - almost time to start asking the helpdesk about this

I do plan to make panels like this, but then technically correct - complete with all the switches, knobs and other hardware.

Please continue your good work - this gets me inspired to try and do it even better

A bit surprised I found this thread that I started way back when The modeling project was shelved a while back and now I'm resurrecting it. I don't have the overhead panel model anymore but thats ok. I'm starting anew and I started modeling the 747 throttle quad. Keep in mind, its probably not going to look exactly like the real thing but it will closely resemble it.
