Mark Do you have some close up photos of the door/ladder? I can't quite tell how you have the door open and recess. What keeps it from falling out completely?

I forgot to mention just how much I love the way you detailed everthing to look like it's in nanofig scale. The 'stairway' and passageway to the right of the mecha do so much to reinforce the scale that you work at. Fantastic! -Dave (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
