Hmm. I haven't seen the ldraw pic yet, not until I get home. Kinda busy this
weekend too.

But FWIW, if you want a really small window, and don't want to use those

I do like the idea of the car sun roof bit though. I'll have to see if I
have enough similar pieces to handle 4 minifigs. I also though about making
deep recesses into the wings of my ship where I could slide in stretchers,
but thought is was a little too much like a space-bound morgue. That's
probably the last thing you want to think about when you are about to go
