Hello there, I made a map key for the Panel's buttons functions. Hope it helps with understanding how it would work. Also could you show me an example of the button from the Mustang One your referencing? Interested in seeing what you mean. Thanks!85 GT Kid wrote:Random question Nathan but what would the 3rd button be used for of it was functional? Seems like the 4th is for that microphone and who knows about the blue and red but I'm confused on the third. Not that it matters because they weren't functional but I'm always curious lol. Still trying to figure out how to make them functional. I think it could be done if they're anything like a mustang one which they should.

Cool thanks for the clarification. I actually meant being able to break a CCU down and make controls like yours. I have a junk second gen explorer that I might nab the CCU and see what happens but they're not cable driven.

I think Ill be having one of these off you soon! pretty cool. I dont really get the extra window switches seeing as they still had the door switch panel and that third switch is a mystery.. drinking water tap? who knows lol

Hello all, I was thinking of applying these changes that I came up with to the panel. Mainly improvements to secure it to a surface and thickening the side wall from 1mm thick to 2mm? Tell me what you think of these changes? Thats all for now!
Re: Jurassic Park Explorer Control Panel Replica
That would work well.

Re: Jurassic Park Explorer Control Panel Replica
Hello all, UPDATE: I have made the wall thickness of the model to be 2mm thick so its a durable print. The knob's side now has a curve to it thanks to scoodidabop for pointing that detail out to me, and the top of the knob has a curved surface as well. The two bottom buttons have now been changed and resized to be more accurate with more space for the fonts to be placed. This is the final version of the panel that I will put up for sale. Also for strengthening purposes, I do not recommend putting smooth-on casting resin on the inside of the panel, this will cause the panel sides to warp and bend. Below are the Photos of the newest model:

Latest model changes: Moved up some details to match up with the Reference photo. Maybe I'll match up the lower buttons with the location of the ones in the reference photo. Should get this printed and molded soon.

Re: Jurassic Park Explorer Control Panel Replica
I normally like to make my own prop models so I know they are accurate, but holy crap you did an amazing job... do you mind if I use this for my explorer? Might tweak a couple minor things since I have going to wire everything to work, but this is already so damn beautiful.
