I have to agree, also, that the thrusters are the real highlight
of the command module--I can picture it trying to scoot its way
around to dock with the tank. How many points of articulation are
there on each? (I see at least two per arm.)
Anyways, nice work. I really have a soft spot for utility craft--
sort of like "Builder Bob in Space."
