I used the yellow tow trucky thingie with the grey dude
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4603). The canopy has the word ResQ printed at
one end. I could brasso it off, but in the Port Block Yards context, ResQ
works :-)

One of the bonuses in the Republic Gunship is two of these hatches in trans
grey to match the canopy. In the JS set, the hatch was yellow.

Big time. Building big stuff is a new dimension I'm still exploring.
Brings its own problems though. MB is way more heavily based around 2x4
bricks. I discovered that it has a structural limit. When I say
discovered, I mean it came hunting me. There was a period of two weeks
there where work on Sirius stopped because the engineers were having
difficulty getting the drive sections to stop dropping off and taking away
most of the stern.

Thanks. The target for Sirius was a ship that works for a living. Nostromo
is a good example of the target type :-)
