The pic from www.theouterrim.com has the ship in a landed position with the
ramp down. For being so small, I got a number of details from it.

D'oh! I thought my back end looked odd. :) Thanks!
(*sigh*) I must be losing my touch...
I'll check to see how that affects the ramp.

Um, I *did* use black friction pegs. :)

Checking the pic... Yup, I used a little wishfull thinking there. Should be 8

<straight technic connectors> - ??? Which are these? The end connectors on

Oh, and comparing the "fronts" (Top) of our models:
In mine I have two small triangles of gray that yours doesn't. These can be
seen in pic from theouterrim.com.
Also, your 6x6 quarter octagon plates should be black, not brown. :)
