Hello,
This is a very good idea, I'm for it. On the web page referenced above,
Here's how I see it,
Parts that should go into the 'cockpit' aka canopy? group.
4597, 2336, 6084, 2507
octagonal "canopy" type pieces
2408 - Panel 10 x 6 x 11
2409 - Panel 10 x 10 x 12 Corner
2598 - Windscreen 10 x 10 x 4 Octagonal Canopy
30062 - Plate 6 x 6 Octagonal Open Center
6063 - Plate 10 x 10 Octagonal Open Center
2418b - Windscreen 6 x 6 Octagonal Canopy with Axlehole
2443 - Hinge Window Frame 1 x 4 x 3 with Octagonal Panel
2418a - Windscreen 6 x 6 Octagonal Canopy without Axlehole
Parts not to be included (not moved);
diagonal bricks
6037 - Brick 2 x 2 x 3 & 1/3 Octagonal
6043 - Brick 2 x 2 x 3 & 1/3 Octagonal Corner
890 - Roadsign Clip-on 2 X 2 Octagonal
30033 - Plate 2 x 2 with Rod Frame Octagonal
6039 - Cone 2 x 2 x 1 & 2/3 Octagonal
2464 - Brick 3 x 3 x 2 Facet Bottom
2463 - Brick 3 x 3 x 2 Facet Top
2462 - Brick 3 x 3 Facet
any 'boat' parts
any wedge parts.
I do not have any stong feelings about any of the parts on the 'not included'
list though.
I hope more people comment on this issue to help sort this out.
Have fun!!
Paul

| Talking about the subject summarized at: (...) I think canopy pieces should probably stay in the Windscreen group. I can see putting the Space Nose and Space Cabin Base pieces in a Cockpit group. There's not really any other place to stick them, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
