I like it. I especially like the shape of the bombs, and the cones that stick
out from the bottom.

Gave the bombs a bit more of a torpedo like shape, but I think it's a
better look, well, it was the best of the designs I came up with.

There's a hatch at the back of the bomb-bay, is there
anything in there? Some sort of ECM perhaps?

yes, that hatch.  put in place for one reason, and one reason only.  When
the bombing bay is opened and the bombs released, getting them back in
without pulling the model apart was a problem, if you open that hatch
however and place you finger on the other side of the hinge the bombs are
attached to you can mount them back in with little difficulty.

I can't say that I think tan was the right color of battle droid arms to use
though.

yeah, tan wasn't the best, Dk Grey would have been better, but i don't have
enough, and grey was pretty bad to, tan was the best solution at the time.

Thanks Dan

Regarding the droid arm thing, it just occured to me that you could replace the
plates with handles with 1x1 plates with horizontal clip. Then you could use
battledroid bodies instead of the arms, and battle droid bodies are now
available in yellow in some of the new spiderman sets.  Just a thought.

(...) Hmmm, would require working in the size of 3 studs instead of 2, but I could see how it would work. the curved angle may be an issue, but it's not a bad idea at all Leg Godt Travis Matheson (20 years ago, 10-Jul-04, to lugnet.space)
