What I've used for "infantry dropships" might work too--I use the curved
trans-blue canopies (the one you get four of on the Nebula Outpost) and build
little enclaves into the wall. The problem is that they're hard to put
*inside*--they've only worked as exterior troop transport units, et cetera--but
they look really neat, and you can put a 1x2 horizontal hinge and a computer tile
thusly angled outward. You can even stow some equipment in there with 'em.
I've used the 4x6x2 canopies for this as well, but they're not as good for the
"coolness" effect as the lifting panel. Plus, you can see the whole minifig
sitting behind the curved trans-blue canopy.
