More Details on Cockpit

As the title of the post says, for the X-Wing cockpit scenes, I have "improved" the cockpit slightly. Well... I am not sure if improved is the right word as the only thing I did was to add two items to the cockpit.

The first item is a radar box to the left. I had that empty space and I thought I could add another tool that will make the cockpit look more like a cockpit.

The second item is a black and white picture of Marilyn Monroe on a frame placed to the right. I was debating with myself if using this picture or not as I am not completely sure about the reaction of the person that will mark my work, and I finally decided that, since I don't find it offensive in any way, adding this item to the cockpit.

I hope anyone that watches the animation will appreciate the joke as I only added this because I found the idea funny... I mean... a picture of Marilyn Monroe on the cockpit of an X-Wing Fighter from the Star Wars films? it is quite out of place but at the same time it does three things I am glad of:

1- It adds a comical feature to the animation.
2- It kind of amplify the fact that the camera is inside a cockpit since in other films the pilots always have a picture of their loved ones (girlfriend, family...) on the wind shield.
3 - It may distract the viewer from mistakes in the cockpit model.

Here is the picture I used:


And here is how it looks like in the cockpit together with the new added radar:
