Well, this looked fantastic right up until I saw the lavatory. It's just
too roomy. A real plane would have 2 or 3 bathrooms crammed into that space!
<grin>
Seriously though - fantastic work, and excellent use of detail. The
lavatory does actually look as small as airline bathrooms feel, I just had
to have something to pick at. The airlock area in particular looks very
"real" to me, like something that actually exists somewhere.

That's funny...The airlock area is one of things I didn't like very much
because it turned out to be too roomy because of all the doorswings that
needed to be accomodated.

Funny, I thought it was the seats in Coach that were too roomy...
But it would take a *lot* 1x2 plates with top-center-stud to fix the
seat spacing problem.
