I'm really not happy with the decal we have in place of the instrumentation in the cockpit. I'm seriously considering ordering that control panel and possibly some other cockpit parts. Anyone here already have it and hopefully some pictures of it finished? I'm curious how hard it is to install that part without ordering the full cockpit. Yokes or no yokes.

Sorry...the only Shapeways parts I've gotten are the Han and Chewie made by LrdSatyr. Those will probably be the only ones I can swing as well, as it was a tough sell convincing my wife to let me get this kit (I had to promise to eat less junk-food and lose some weight in order to help pay for this).
If at first you don't succeed,

maybe you should skip the chainsaw juggling...

I used my own sticker replacement for my console and then filled in the details with epoxie putty... here's my results.

Thanks Dave... that's the original DeAgo console just with my new sticker replacements. I added the buttons and a few other things on it in epoxy putty to give it some raised texture and added fiber optics to it. Came out looking pretty good!

I've got Tony's console, but without the rest of his printed cockpit parts it looks kinda odd. The whole cockpit that DeAgo made was a bit large (around 1/41.5 scale they squeezed it into the cockpit. Tony's console is exactly 1:43 scale (in scale with the rest of the ship). When just the console is used it looks odd. Also it's really really really hard to paint those pin stripes on it! :)

Thanks bro... glad you like it... but as you can see... it really doesn't take much to make the provided console really look good! Just a little patience!
