The red stripes are a nice touch, and the use of yellowed bricks to simulate
wear and tear is a touch of genius.
Looks like a lot of space inside, as well.
Good job!

| thank you kindly. I considered making it bigger, possibly large enough to take up a module on it's own, so it could dock in the center of a base, but I decided that was a bit much.
