After seeing Allister's hatch, I decided that I wanted something beefier.
Very similar, but with different parts. It's amazing how quickly some

(...) Wow, another hatch idea I'll have to steal! ;-) Allister's hatch look like it would be an interior hatch (think service crawlway), while your's gives the impression it would be an exterior airlock. Both are very cool. Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
