Yeah, I'd kind of overlooked the struts, they would be good in dk grey - 6
for $50, though? Maybe not. Those black "saucer bottom quarters" sound
interesting. What other sets are they in? Has an LDraw part been done for
them? I'd like to see a picture.

The 6198 Sting Ray Stormer has 4 of them. These are a nice piece. They
make the saucer tops much more useable. It is possible to build a
flexible wall using 1x3 bricks and 1x1 cylinders which mates with the
saucer sections. Doing that makes a real nice water tower for a town
layout, but I'm sure the idea can be put to use for space setups also.

Other nice parts in this set: bunches of big plates (blue and other
colors), black 1x8 door track plates, 2 black palm leaf holders, and
dark grey bricks and slopes. I'm sure there are other usefull pieces
that I'm forgetting.
